Gary Glitter, a convicted child molester who has holed himself up in Thailand, refuses to leave the country.
Pilgrim and myself would be privileged to introduce Mr. Glitter to the scenic, pristine beauty of Kentucky’s fine mountains. Everyone, at some point in his or her life, longs for a mountaintop experience.
We would be happy to help Mr. Glitter achieve that lifelong desire of his heart.
I’ve heard that Thailand is a pretty gorgeous country. I’ve seen pictures. As much as I love my mountain (and it’s dang purty!) Thailand is a place I’d like to visit before I go to heaven.
However, I suspect you and Pilgrim would like to do more than just give him a friendly tour of the KY scenery . . .
True, but we would do it for the children.
………And the rose garden. Good fertilizer is always a boon. 😉
Carrie –
Of course. We have a wide range of exciting activities for folks like…um..Mr. Glitter.
If he likes natural pursuits we have the Darwinian path which is actually a culinary delight as well. He will get to enjoy the experience of wild honey as WELL as how the wild boar is attracted to sweet scents. This program is exclusively offered between the north and middle fork of the Kentucky River. Exact locations are withheld to guarantee his solitary experience of the wilderness.
If he has more of a Scientific taste we can certainly introduce him to our kinetic energy program where he can choose between the macro and micro curriculum. Unlike other fields of study, such as Economics, the Macro curriculum is rather short but quite dynamic and is offered in the scenic Red River Gorge or the breath taking Kentucky River Palisades. With this exciting course we take a rather dramatic “top down” approach with a pleasant meditation on the Fall of Man at the end.
The Micro curriculum takes advantage of one of the many caves in the Kentucky River basin and focuses on the impact of various small objects and implements with varying degrees of velocity…usually measured in feet per second but sometimes measured in foot-pounds as well.
Again, exact locations are withheld because we take the privacy of our…clients…very seriously.
…and if he qualifies, we could enroll him in our combined micro and macro program, which would give him the best of both worlds. In our dynamic society, a dual certification would give him a leg up on the competition.
Pilgrim: one more thing. given that a key mandate of our place of employment is “transfer framework”, Mr. Glitter would be a perfect test case for our dual macro and micro program.
Hey Amir, this has nothing to do with anything, but have you ever taken an MBTI test? Do you know your personality type? Any of you other peeps ever taken one?
http://www.personalitypathways.com/MBTI_intro.html
Adam: Yes. Several times. And I have scored ENTJ and INTJ.
Adam-
My office offered one a few years ago. I took the little test and handed it in. I never got the results but they did recommend therapy and moved my office to the far end of the building.
It was soon thereafter that Amir came to work there. I suspect they hired him to keep an eye on me. Heh. Little did THEY know eh? 😉
Amir – funny, I just scored INTJ…not sure how right the test was though…
Pilgrim: they have no idea what they stepped in. LOL
Christina: there’s still hope for you. LOL
I don’t know the results of the Myers-Brigg test, but I took an internet based Jung Explorer test and the result was “ESTP”, which is pretty accurate imho.
Funny, I’m google “ENTJ” and “ESTP” and found some of the following:
“ENTJ” – Alternatively (s)he may unleash an icy gaze that serves notice: the ENTJ is not one to be trifled with. ; TRADEMARK: — “I’m really sorry you have to die.” (I realize this is an overstatement. However, most Fs and other gentle souls usually chuckle knowingly at this description.); Clarity of convictions endows these Thinkers with a knack for debate, or wanting knack, a penchant for argument.
“ESTP” – Oddly enough, the ESTP seems to admire and respect anyone who can beat her at her own game. ; Like the other SPs, ESTPs get great satisfaction from acting on their impulses. Activities involving great power, speed, thrill and risk are attractive to the ESTP.
And, last but not least, INTJ: Typical INTJ career choices are in the sciences and engineering, but they can be found wherever a combination of intellect and incisiveness are required (e.g., law, some areas of academia). ; Personal relationships, particularly romantic ones, can be the INTJ’s Achilles heel. While they are capable of caring deeply for others (usually a select few), and are willing to spend a great deal of time and effort on a relationship, the knowledge and self-confidence that make them so successful in other areas can suddenly abandon or mislead them in interpersonal situations.
. . . but back to original topic . . . apparently Mr. Glitter opted for the London fog over the KY mountains. (http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/08/22/glitter.airport/index.html)
That’s a shame. I know you and Pilgrim had something special planned for him.
Hehe… sorry to drag the topic off-topic, but you don’t have a proper web forum, Amir, so what can I do? :p I definitely would’ve pegged you as an ENTJ/INTJ, too.
Anyway, I know it might seem like a strange thing to bring up, but I was just wondering how it affects one’s views of relationships and marriage. For example, remember a couple of months ago when I talked about how I want my wife and I to be quiet, humble people, because that’s what my parents were (or whatever I said)? I think that desire makes much more sense when you understand that I am very, very ISTJ.

For the MBPT I always score as an INTJ or an INTP. I despise the whole concept of the test however, as the test is just an excercise in “putting people into boxes”- something I’ve hated all my life.
Which means the “J” is probably the more accurate representation………
Really? See, I feel uncomfortable if I can’t figure out which ‘box’ someone belongs in. (Which is itself an ISTJ trait, so I understand…)
The whole idea of personality tests/categories fascinates me. I wasn’t all that taken until about a year ago ( http://carrie.covblogs.com/archives/021064.html ). This test came on the heals of a friend telling me pretty much what this result stated (when you’re present, things happen). The test I took wasn’t all that long. I take different personality quizes from time to time. Usually the results are interesting or worth chuckle. This test was dead. on. It pegged exactly who I was/am, who I strive to be, and the type of person I was attracted to at the time. Ever since then, I became a believer in good personality assessments.
I think, due to my ESTP traits, internet based communication hinders me rather than helps. It’s great to hash out words on a screen, but everything would be more compelling and intense (to me) in person.
okay … since i’m absolutely addicted to these kinds of personality tests … i had to save this and come back to it when i had time … which was tonight.
fwiw – i scored ISFP.
hey, Amir – i’m directly opposite you!!! HAHAHAHAHA
Ame: Way to go!
way to go – that i took the test … that i’m addicted to these kinda things … or that i’m directly opposite you? 🙂
The personality tests are very interesting. I scored INFJ most of the time
Ame: Yes.
LOL
I just took a test on Facebook and now I’m an ENFJ . . . maybe you can’t put people in a box after all.
Suffice it to stay that I am extroverted, if nothing else. 🙂
Carrie: With a little work, you can become an ENTJ.
That means I would have . . . think . . . eh . . . we’ll see 😛
*to* think . . . see, it’s difficult already!!
