People You Think Are Full of Win

Sign in to disble this ad
Okay, so after being bitterly disappointed by Ray Salamon's failure to take any photos of his Bacon Brulée, I went looking for some other fellow to take his place as the Man Who is Full of Win for this week; and I found Jack Churchill.

A British fellow who went up against the Axis powers in WW2 with a longbow, sword, and bagpipes.

Jack Churchill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So that's my suggestion for MWFW for this week. Who would you like to nominate?

It's a very fine line between Full of Win and Ape Dookie Insane.

John Juranitch has a fair amount of win. He holds the Guinness Book records for "fastest sharpening of a dulled woodsman's ax" and "cleanest shave with a freshly-sharpened woodsman's ax".

Shaving with an axe is pretty win, I have to say. Maybe I should try that next time I go camping?

Come on, who else? There's billions of people in the world and billions more who've gone before; surely there are plenty of folks who've accumulated vast stashed of win throughout their lives!

Not such a fine line.

The group of elderly Japanese engineers who volunteered to go fight with the reactor after the tidal wave, because they wanted the younger guys to have a full life.

Win + altruism = Mega-win.
