Who is your hero?

Postby Darragh » Wed Oct 27, 2004 2:17 am

This isn't a joke thread. I would generally like to know if you have any heroes or someone who inspires you.

Bill Hicks would probobly be my hero.

at this particular moment in time (and for the past few weeks i guess), krissy (the older members should know) is my hero, because she stands up for what she believes in.

If I ever murder someone, I'll stab them in the back with a icepick while there sitting in the bath, and I'll wear an evening gown and have a tumbler of brandy in one hand...

He failed in posioning him though, didn't he? He shot him. Thats just a boring way to kill someone.

What i'd do is first obtain to swords, cuttlass' preferably. Chop the arms and legs off, dip them in a bath full of chipper batter and fry them in an industrial sized deep fat fryer......... :wizard:

my higher profile hero when i remember that he exists, craig kielburger.

did big things when he was only twelve. last year he was nominated for the nobel peace prize. obviously, he didn't get it, 'cause really, he's only twenty-one, twenty-two, and he's got much more to accomplish.

but check out the site.
