Honor:
If you need it defined, you don't have it.

INTENSITY: Give 100%. 110% is impossible. Only idiots recommend that.
Not on the pyramid, but heard a couple of episodes ago: "There's only one thing I hate more than lying: skim milk, which is water that's lying about being milk."

He is one of the greatest characters to come out of TV.
-
I quit watching after the entire cast participated in that damn video.
-
America: The only country that matters. If you want to experience other "cultures," use an atlas, or a ham radio.

The Swanson character is the only thing worth watching that show for. The rest of the cast and plot lines leave me feeling like part of my brain has been sucked out.
-
Buffets: Whenever available. Choose quantity over quality.

Too bad your brain was sucked out. If you still had it, you would like the whole show. :P
-
I think it was the vapid, insipid, shallow, superficial nature of the rest of the show and characters that did the sucking.

Also, a good high-resolution version of the pyramid:

This. It's a retarded show with one great character (Ron) and one good one (Tom)
If you go to youtube and look up Ron Swanson and the 'Tom Face' that's all you really need. =D
-
It's kinda sad that we only relate to parody.
Ron is great.

Fishing relaxes me. It's like yoga, except I still get to kill something.

I don't even know which one tom is.
I've seen a couple bits with Ron, and those are funny.
The rest is typical NBC comedy crap. Uggg...
I'll stick to ABC's line up. The Middle has grown on me, and Modern Family is a freeking hoot.

Teamwork: Work together as if your life depends on it... IT DOES.
I don't get how that was included. It doesn't sound very Ron-like.

It's cold and outcome-oriented. That's Swanson.

Ron likes sports. I think it refers to that context, not general teamwork.

Which two are you not going to post?

True. He has a head full of hair, like one o' them unruly baby-boomers. Buncha hippies.

Guess.

Old Wooden Sailing Ships: They're beautiful.

B.O.
Cultivating a manly musk puts your opponents on notice.

Caught a minute or two of one episode. And yes, one thing was chuckleworthy.
Ron presented his permit to some dude to slaughter a pig at the cookout.
The permit said "I can do what I want"
That was funny. Of course it didn't work. But funny.

Stillness
Don't waste energy moving unless necessary.

Capitalism: God's way of determining who is smart, and who is poor.
-
Facial Hair: Full, Thick, and Square. Nothing sculpted. If you have to sculpt it that probably means you can't grow it.

I don't know anything about his actual politics but Nick Offerman seems to be a pretty cool guy.

Sorry, merely posted the truth. They are actors, what they do on TV/movies and what they actually believe (then try to use their "standing") and promote are often two different things.

Nope, false. Ron Swanson is not an actor, or a gun-grabbing hypocrite. He is a gun-loving, minarchist, fictional character (based on an actual government employee). Grousing about the actor that portrays the fictional character is for some other thread.
-
Poise: Sting like a bee. Do not float like a butterfly. That is ridiculous.

Handshakes: Firm. Dry. Solid. Three seconds.

Body grooming: Only women shave beneath the neck.

Not an interruption, really. We have reached the base of the pyramid.
