Which characters do you think you are most like?

Me personally, its between two. Marie and Saul. Both characters talk a very good line of BS, but both have hearts in their own rites. I'll stop at this. Everyone can put their own details be they male or female to all characters.

Hollie.....


I like to take a lot of naps.

When I wake up I would like someone to bring me something to eat.

Me too Zia darlin, but you being way better than me at the various charactors, who's Hollie again? Oh wait, is it the guy in the wheelchair at Tuco's hidden desert place? Hope you're doing well by the way. Good mom's are hard to come by and loose. You live in SF I hear. I lived there for awhile myself. I love that city. Take care dearie.
Love is the answer always. I know you know which rocker that come's from.
Love,

Leave it to Jamm to get the spelling and the charactors right, or should I say the preborn actors. Who is that guy in the wheelchair again? And yes, silent, I think the principal is pretty and hot also. But one can tell that she's put it too Walt in the past to get it together. Hilarlious!!!

that would be Tuco's Uncle Tio

TIO!! The best rebel of all.
Anyway, we have a new player on the Chicken dinner thread. WalkerColt! Very fun with a breakdown of season three. He does a good breakdown with outline numbers. He put the challenge out there, and of course I had to reply. Shoot, he had me writing an outline, 1,2,3's included. Plus, he smacks RW. I love this site.

90% Walt and maybe a little more. Original degree was in Chemistry. Worked in Chem for 4 months then the company shut down. Laid off. Wound up in engineering... Stop laughing! That's rude, you know. I couldn't help it! They pulled a dump truck full of money up to my house... I'M NOT MADE OF STONE! I'd have to study back up but with the right equipment you can easily produce copious amounts of mescaline from over-the-counter aspirin. Ohhhh, I shouldn't have said that...

A Good Time to be had by ALL...and...I don't come cheap!!

HA HA HA HA...*accccck!* =P

I'm probably most like Jesse. He wants people to think he's a badass, but he's really good-hearted and kind of innocent. I'm not at all like Walt. I can't even quite figure that guy out.

user-pic

Jesse, minus the addiction. Laid back in appearance yet have the feelings that I always have to be moving.

I used to do competition target shooting, but my eyes have gone bad and I can't put them in the 10 spot anymore. My favorite 19th Century firearm was a reproduction of the Colt Walker revolver. Big, heavy, iron thing with a huge recoil. Modern metals made it much safer than the original and the sights on it were rudimentary. So, it was a fun-gun and couldn't be used for competition. The powder charge was ... a lot. It shot orange flames three feet in front of you and when the Sun began to set, you were holding your own personal fireworks show. I had to dismantle it and drop the whole works (minus the wooden grips) into a giant pot of boiling water to get rid of all the corrosives left from the black powder. Terrible to clean. Hard to load. A chore to lug around. It ate lead and powder like a glutton. Impossible as a self-defense weapon in our time. Oh, how I miss it now.

Which brings up an interesting question. Remember at the beginning of Season 2 when Tuco kidnapped our heroes and was holding Walt and Jesse at his uncle Tio's shack out in the country? The three of them get into a life and death struggle and Walt grabs the M-4 (shorty version of the M-16, neither are for sale to civilians in the US, so the murdering bastard must have stolen it in Mexico) and Walt aims it at Tuco but he's tangled up with Jesse. Walt acts like he knows what he's doing but unless someone teaches you how to handle any firearm (and you accept full moral responsibility for it), you're just as likely to shoot yourself or the family dog or an innocent bystander. Compare that fight to episode 1 in Season 1 when Walt completely fumbles Crazy-8's shiny, stainless steel, semi-automatic pistol and finally gives up and raises his arms in surrender. If Walt is supposed to descend into being "Scarface", who's going to teach Walt to shoot? Hank? Gus? Believe me. You've got to learn how to shoot straight while you're scared or angry (that's when your marksmanship goes to sh!+) or you're better off with a meat cleaver and the ability to keep your balance while fighting in a pool of blood.

user-pic

Wow, WalkerColt. Well I'm certainly better with a meat cleaver than a gun. Particularly since I do have a meat cleaver in my home, chef that I am. Also it's much easier to aim with said cleaver in hand. I usually know that I'm not going to chop my thumb off as opposed to shooting my toe off. That's not to say I'd be a total Barney Fife, gunwise, but close. Its been 30 years since I shot a rifle. Then it was a 22. I did pretty good that time at a target a 100 feet away for one afternoon at a friends farm in Cambria. Actually hit the target more often than not. As for guns illegally obtained. I have a question for you, do you approve of virtually most of the guns in the world being manufactured in the United State's? What do you feel about Open Carry Law's being enforced? Here in Wisconsin our Attorney General approved a very old law on the books of our state constitution that everyone has the right to carry openly a gun on the streets, in store's, churches, bar's, library's and courthouses.
Way back in the day, like 1778, 1889? or there about. Now we have people here who are wearing their pistols out on the streets on their belts while mowing their lawns, going into shopping malls, and have tried to get into bars wearing them. Though the bar owner's where this has happened have made them take them off and put them in their car or go home. This has led to a couple of lawsuits against the Bar Association here. Oye! Well, off to get and smoke cigarette. A substance that will be banned in all of the bars June 2010. where I drink alcohol on a somewhat regular basis. The irony is palpably stupid. Gun's and Alcohol in a bar, legal. Cigarette's and Alcohol, NOT?

25% of Jane, only because of her artistic sense excluding the drug habit.

25% of Jessie, because under that punk exterior, is a heart of caring for others..remember Jessie couldn't crush the beetle on the cement?

25% of Skyler, because she is a mother as I am, and astute to her surroundings.

25% of Walt for his belief that education is never ending and we all learn from each other in this world regardless of station in life or at any age.

50% Skyler: Even though I am not a mother yet, I tend to be very maternal and protective over younger members of the family. I also could see myself reacting the way she does when it comes to Walt's lies and secrecy. She's a writer, I write too. I have a similar close sister-like relationship with my younger cousin (who is definitely 80% Marie (it's even her middle name) and 20% Jesse) She messes up and puts me in a really bad position, like sneaking out and telling her mother she was at my house without my knowledge and then getting me into shit due to the fact I tried to cover anyway despite the fact I had no idea what to say. Off topic, sorry. So I identify with Skyler and it upsets me sort of when people hate what she does.

How I'm not like Skyler: I would never smoke while pregnant (or at all, it's not really my thing.)


40% Jane: I identify with Jane because because of her artistic abilities (I don't draw like she does. I am into music, writing, photography, and theater) and her sarcasm. When it comes to relationships, She has a heart that she covers up and doesn't get into commitment, like me. Once she does see a guy she cares about though, she starts to open up to him.

How I'm not like Jane: No drug addiction and I don't know anyone that will kick someone's ass when I give them my command.


5% Walt: Even though you can tell teaching is not really Walt's number one job anymore, you know he loves to see that he has gotten a student to understand something, like when Jesse understands that the sponges are soaked in the electrolyte. It's satisfying to teach someone something and also to see teachers enjoy teaching others.

How I'm not like Walt: I wouldn't let someone choke on their own vomit even if I might have somewhat good intentions by doing so. Walt can be a real jerk in other ways too, so I don't identify with him all that often.


5% Jesse (my favorite character): Because he has a heart. He is caring. What he did with the bug in peekaboo was what I would do. Also, if I, god forbid, ever became addicted to heroin or another illegal substance, I would definitely stay at the rehabilitation center he went to. Money would be an issue though...

How I'm not like Jesse: I am more book-smart than Jesse. Our fashion senses are very different. I don't say "Yo" unless I am imitating Jesse. I also don't draw superheroes that look like me (his drawings were very good, I'm not making fun).

user-pic

Linda and Annie, at any givin time, I couldn't agree with you both more. Today I feel a bit of a Tuco, but only 25%. 25% Skylar,who's in control and wants to tell people how to control themselves, 25 % Holly, who everyone should bring everything to her and have some patience with there teaching, 10% Walt jr, who wants some credit for being young and cut me some slak for learning fvcking new shit. And 15% Jesse's mom, for being menopausel without shooting, or cleaving anyone's head off.
