**Roland Orzabal** got it in one. I would ask who manages to mention Tears for Fears in every thread but thats too easy 😉 Who is Sol’s fine feathered friend? ---

1. If you were just starting out and wanted help building leadership skills, who would you talk to? (Ethilrist) Hint: We don’t need no steenkin’ fezzes! Hint #2: Not the Rotarians, neither. ---

OK, **Ethilrist** , I’ll try it. I over-thought it and I was looking for someone with “Shriner” as part of the name, but then you said you didn’t need any steenking fezzes, so I’ll try **FreeMason**. I don’t quite see how that works in with “leadership skills”, though. On an amusing note, I really like the concept of **ferretmasons** … ---

HEY! We got outstanding questions and answers here and this thread has inexplicably moved to the second page! **Duke** still has not popped in to confirm if either **Tiggrkitty** or [bTiger Tiger\*\* is correct, and if neither are, then to post a hint **Ethilrist** has not confirmed the answer of **FreeMason** or continued hinting at his latest And I can’t find anyone that fits either **FilmGeek’s** or **CandidGamera’s** latest. ---

> [@Loach](#): > > **Roland Orzabal** got it in one. I would ask who manages to mention Tears for Fears in every thread but thats too easy 😉 Hey, come on. I haven’t mentioned Tears For Fears once in this thread. Not once have I said the words “Tears For Fears”. I haven’t even named Roland or Curt individually, or mentioned that they’re on tour right now. …oh. Crap. Anyhow, in regard to **Duke** ’s, **Tiger Tiger** is probably right. I guessed **Tiggrkitty** because I remembered the poem and couldn’t think of another tiger-related username… **DogMom** ’s guess fits the question more accurately. ---

Nope, not **freemason.** I _said_ they don’t wear fezzes… Hint # Next: It’s an acronym. ---

I know you said they didn’t wear fezzes, but I thought since just the Shriners get the fezzes maybe… Ah, well, I didn’t think that was it anyway, but I tossed it out there. How about **Gar**? Am I getting closer? ---

Am I getting closer? Well, if it was **Dar** , then that might be it, because it might be Daughters of the American Republic, but since it isn’t, then no. The username, however, does have an hypen in it.
