[raccoon]

[amitten]

1. Good question. I think it's semi-retardation of some sort. n/t

[KurtNYC]

2. Poor navigation skills

limited wardrobe

[Orrex]

3. He bears an uncomfortable resemblance to Maynard Krebs

[mikeytherat]

5. Maybe this:

That boy ain't right.

[Parche]

6. If Skipper Really sat on his face

How would he feel? :shrug:

[NewJeffCT]

7. Giligan's a DUer

though, I have not seen her around in a while... though she is pretty real.

[PVnRT]

8. He's a fucking idiot

[Westegg]

9. Generalized anxiety, self-esteem issues, and...

...probably some kind of dissociative disorder. I would suspect some mild OCD as well. He's not "developmentally disabled"-- what was once called "retarded." I feel that strongly. I would estimate his I.Q. to be in the 90-95 range.

[Bucky]

10. Disassociative trauma from repeated skull injuries induced by Skipper's hat

I think Karl Marx would have a different take on his problems, however.

[Scurrilous]

11. Cabin Boy Fever. n/t

[rug]

12. He's too damn surly.

[alcibiades_mystery]

13. Semi-retarded combined with mild anxiety disorder

:-)

[DS1]

14. his skin hasn't been turned into a boat

[swag]

15. He Doesn't like his male aggregate size.

Chicks joke at him.

[dembotoz]

16. he did not realize he would grow up to be gov of texas and

the president of these here united states!!!!

[Orsino]

17. Not rich or mean-spirited enough to be a *Republican* idiot.

But he's gullible, cowardly and excitable enough, with more than enough in the way of organizational skills.
