The Hungry Barbarian

Here’s a little something from my friend Zach:

I really appreciate all the faith that everyone has in the Barbarian. I think that it shows a lot of faith, kindness, and love.

Unfortunately, I don’t crap sunshine like the rest of you and I’m not pulling punches on this one.

I have great faith in the Barbarian in many different things; whiffle ball, reading and writing, eating, entertaining (he throws great parties), cooking, etc. The list is long, but survival instincts are not on the list. I’m not running this pool because I think he’s going to win.

With that said, I do think that he will make a very good showing, he will struggle and overcome some obstacles, he will be hungry but he will find food, but at some point he is going to crack.

Now when I say “he is going to crack” I say it with no judgment whatsoever, in fact the time frame that I picked for him to crack was about half a day after I think I would lose my mind and run screaming into a tree and end the misery.

I think that the Barbarian has heart and dedication, he has a zest for adventure, and he is stubborn as a mule- four qualities that will serve him well. He also however has an overactive imagination that will see mountain lions and Bigfoot in the night, a social nature that will lead him to talk to trees and become frustrated when they are rude enough to ignore him, and he has a desire for food and the pleasures of life.

I think that it will be a well fought, honest battle, but mother earth tends to win.

So, to the Barbarian; I wish you the best of luck, stay safe, blog every night, and check your dignity at the door….As for the rest of you revelers I’m putting my money on day 4 at about 3am.

Cheers
