Every pirate lives for something different. For some, it's the open sea. For others (the masochists), it's the food. For you, it's definitely the fighting. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!

Which File Extension are You?
 I am a Gauntlet Adventurer.I strive to improve my living conditions by hoarding gold, food, and sometimes keys and potions. I love adventure, fighting, and particularly winning - especially when there's a prize at stake. I occasionally get lost inside buildings and can't find the exit. I need food badly.

» Weird Traditions
Best tradition ever...
is the so called "Clausen-Treiben". Saint Nicolas Day (Dec 6th) evening young men in our village dress up in wild costumes made of fur, animals heads and antlers, wearing large cow bells around their waist and carrying wooden sticks. After dark they start roaming the village beating up EVERYONE they see on the streets. They go from house to house, ask for a drink (which they usually get) until they are drunk (which takes quite a while). It is based on a medieval tradition meant to fight the ghosts of winter.
It is quite a shity tradition if you are the one who gets beaten up though.
To give you an idea:

Adventure holiday with the
Royal Navy. I was swinging on a rope from a Seahawk helicopter just a few meters above the water when all of a sudden a killer whale attacked me.

Sea urchin eggs
Went to a very nice Sushi restaurant in Japan, together with a few colleagues. Everything served looked really lovely, tasted phantastic. Until we stumbled over a dish which - with 2 Japanese guys accompanying us - we roughly translated to be eggs from sea urchin. One of my colleagues was very interested but a little concerned what it would taste like. So one of the others poked the chopsticks into the stuff and tried a small amount. He then said "tastes fine", and went on to eat something else. Since that sounded convincing Mr. Anxious took a really big bite, and a split second later his face turns all green. He then proceeded to the little boys room for a rather relieving vomit. After he came back, he described it as the worst experience in his whole life. He asked why the other guy hadn't warned him, to which he replied "I thought it would be a laugh". It was.

» Crappy Prizes
Same bottle of cheap champagne twice.
The department I work in has a tombola every christmas to fairly distribute the gifts we get from our suppliers. The standard win is a bottle of booze together with some calenders and other crap. One year I "won" a bottle of obviously cheap champagne. The thing is I hate champagne. Cheap one doubly so. So clever me simply kept said bottle of champagne at my desk, right at the window so it would get really bad in the sun. Handed it over to our department secretary next christmas to use it for the next tombola. I ended winning this bottle of cheap champagne again. Never participated in the tombola since.

» The Weird Kid In Class
3rd grade Kung Fu champion
There was this one guy in 3rd grade (yes, 8 years old) who one day threw one of my classmates through a closed glass door, resulting in a concussion and severe cut wounds, and a door beyond repair. With a perfect over the shoulder Kung Fu style trick. In front of everyone of our class. And the teachers. Reason? The other kid wouldn't believe that he was into Kung Fu.
