[edit] Origins
Andrew "Peace" Blatt joined the Ship of Fools in the Fall of 2006. The nickname "Peace" was bestowed upon him by John "Cowboy" Clawson during a weekly meeting one Friday. The origin of the name lies in the Joe's Crab Shack "Peace, Love, and Crabs" shirt he was wearing at the time. Along with Peace came childhood friend Eric "Beard" Talbert. The two were inducted into the SoF because they showed great potential especially in certain improv games such as If You Know What I Mean. Peace's talents have grown over time and recently he has become a masterful storyteller in the game Slideshow.
[edit] First Show
Andrew's first show was the Earhart Hall Show on November 17th, 2006.
[edit] Rocking it Coke-Style
Peace was employed by the more southerly of the two Kokomo Steak 'N' Shakes for a little over a year. At one point, he sustained a very shallow cut from a piece of metal on the ice bin of the drink machine. However, he still has a scar from the cut, regardless of the fact that it is possibly the most minor injury he suffered during his employment. He suspects that the servers' station is inherently tainted by evil, just like weapons forged in Mordor.
[edit] Peace for President
At some point immediately before a game of 1000 Blank White Cards, at Applebee's it was conceived that should Peace make a run for President of the United States. He could not lose, because who can vote against peace? Ever the progressive, Peace declared that if he were to run, he would choose as his running-mate an 80-year-old black woman, and if elected his first act as president would be to resign. It was later realized the Peace would ultimately be defeated by his opponent, Free Beer.
Realizing that Free Beer was the only weakness to his campaign, Peace decided, upon further reflection, to make sure his 80-year-old, black, female running mate would, in fact, be named "Free Beer." Thus the unstoppable campaign slogan became "Vote for Peace & Free Beer."
[edit] Officer Positions
Andrew was elected Webmaster for the 2007-2008 school year. He will be assisted in his duties by Captain Ryan "T-Rex" Garwood.
[edit] Accomplishments
- Being the first actual Fool to edit the SoF-pedia. No one really cared, except for Jamie.
- Never visiting the Middle East.
- Calling dibs on being Ryan "T-Rex" Garwood's bitch.
- Thinks it's funny to make fun of people's most morbid fears - especially Ryan's owl-phobia, when he displayed a horrific owl-killing-multiple-mice video during a game of Quach. Ryan, however, does not tolerate such behavior from his crew and promises that retribution will be swift and merciless.
- Winner of the Rookie of the Year Award (2007).
[edit] Improv Strengths and Weaknesses
- Favorite games:
- Strengths: Everything
- Weaknesses: Overconfidence
As in many aspects of his life, Peace is somewhat unsure of himself when it comes to improv. He is aware that he is competent in a very nebulous sense. However, he doesn't like to be pinned down. Peace is known for cheesing off older Fools by leaping up for games he's never even heard of, in hopes of finding a specialty. However, specialization has never been Peace's strength, in anything.
[edit] Personal Life
Andrew is finishing his second semester at Purdue University, where he majors in chemistry. Andrew works alongside Stu "Bottle Opener" Ogle at Earhart Hall Dining Court. He is from Kokomo, IN. Strangely, Andrew has strong aspirations to become a writer, though he is reluctant to admit to them, even to himself. His blog of short fictions can be found here: The Words of Drewcifer
