GURPSify a quote

[Langy]

I've got one that's probably going to be really easy, but I think is too awesome to not use:

"I am the Template of the TL8 Rank 7 (Military) man. I have Expert Skill (Natural Science) and (Military Science). I also know Mathematics (Applied). I know History (Mythic) and have Expert Skill (Logic)."

And so on. I didn't write it out particularly faithfully to the actual quote, but that would have made it much too easy (and it's easy enough already!).

Isn't this the "Modern Major General" from the G&S opera? Not that I've seen it, just come across references to it a few times on TvTropes.

Yep. Told ya it'd be easy. Doing it out as the proper patter-song would have made it much more obvious, something like this:

"I am the very Template of the TL8 Military Rank 7 man.
I've Expert Skill (Naturalism)
I know Heraldry, and I quote from History (Military).

I am very well acquainted, too, with Mathematics (Applied).
I know Expert Skill (Naturalism).
In short, in matters based on Expert Skill (Naturalism),
I am the very Template of the TL8 Military Rank 7 man."

You still have to rip out a lot of excess talk, since the song goes on a bit in detail about his Expert Skill (Naturalism) and Mathematics skills in the first few verses, but you get the idea.

A milkshake is a dessert? I've always classified them as "beverages."

I'd classify it as more of a dessert than a beverage, really. I drink them as if they're beverages, but I know they're not, really.

Milkshakes are basically just a way of presenting ice cream in a less-thick format.
