Bob Ross

[wacey]

"I was the guy who makes you scrub the latrine, the guy who makes you make your bed, the guy who screams at you for being late to work. The job requires you to be a mean, tough person. And I was fed up with it. I promised myself that if I ever got away from it, it wasn't going to be that way anymore."

Bob Ross is known for producing beautiful landscapes, his soft-spoken demeanor, and bushy facial hair. Whenever anyone mentions the joy they get from painting, it's tough not to think of Ross smiling at a camera and filling hundreds of canvases with happy clouds, secret trees, and accidental bushes. Even if you aren't a student of art, putting on an episode of "The Joy of Painting" will lull anyone into a total state of serenity. What many people don't know is that one of the biggest influences on Ross's persona and painting technique was the twenty years he spent in the Air Force, especially his time as a drill sergeant

Heh watching those videos reminds me of my total blindness when it comes to scenery.

Just watching it with my mouth open that is right, totally open. First it was open just a tiny then just a little bit, that's right and later it got wider and wider. Then it was so open you see...

Is this duality?

Seriously though, he's the face of every Alpha SF Convention Poster.

Interessting fact: Bob Ross was a drill sergeant in the US Air Force.

I assume he can use much more under different circumstances.

I guess he can't drill brushes and paint on the canvas solely, he can drill people too.

A SEI drill sergeant. Hmm.

When I was doing my compulsory military service there was a lieutenant (although he was a dentist) in an uniform who opened doors for privates and wished them good day afterwards.


I strongly suspect LII.

SLI

SLI

This is isn't a bad typing, I always thought EII, but SLI is possible.

In any case, I don't see much Fe in his behavior, he seems to be focused on internally felt feelings (Fi) rather than on external emotional atmosphere (Fe). So I say delta over alpha. I don't think there's much of a chance he values Se/Ni, I think beta and gamma can be safely ruled out.
