  1. stripper: rock hard abs, glutes that could crack walnuts, perma-wedgie from small g strings, black eyes from asshole bouncers, scar where drunk fuck yuppie broke his shot glass on me, ultraviolet organs from weekly tanning sessions, crushed achilles from wearing 6″ heels for 5 years. glad i quit!!! :thong:

  2. Job. I had one of those once. Or … several. Useful for getting cash which I use to buy dope so that I can stay up till 4am watching SPACE. Tonight, it’s ENTERPRISE with Jolene Blalock :wang: and that Quantum Leap guy.

    Worst job was possibly one I took back in 83 after returning (the first time) from Chile. It was with an asshole who expected me to be STANDING while sorting orders — uh standing or sitting shouldn’t make a difference! There was also a F*ckhead whose idiot (and probably suicidal) son insisted on calling him 6 times an hour, and of course, I was the fool who had to answer the phone.

  3. So from what I gather Dave you’re now a smoke smelling, rigidly stooped, crooked-spined, insomniac with a grimacing squint, freakishly overdeveloped left shoulder, sore feet and an ink-stained right claw…….

    ..so basically if Dickens wrote a novel with Hellboy in it, you’d fit the bill perfectly.

  7. fruf

    salesman smile permanently plastered on his face agreeing to everything the idiot customer has to say….eye’s glazed like two pee holes in the snow…..body all crunched up from getting in and out of the car 30+ times a day….. arms longer than normal lifting and carrying samples to these people…. up till 4 AM processing and e-mailing orders as well as accounting for every minute of your 12 hour day

  8. Then – Baby-sitter: All the popsicles I want and access to the neighbours satellite TV. 😉

    Now – Photographer: Nevermind the crying babies and finicky mothers, I get to ogle all the hot guys that come in for passport photos and then check out their butts when they leave. :kiss:

  9. freckleface

    then…worked as a news director at a country music radio station in a small town for a mentally ill boss. knew it was a bad day when he pointed his toy brass cannon at me from across his desk. skills? can spot a deranged co-worker from a 100 miles away, know all the old school country songs (george jones, tammy wynette…)

    in between….dark side p.r. writing press releases (need a freelancer Dave?)

    now…work at a resource centre directing people to where to find help if they have a mentally ill boss, family member, co-worker etc.

    Full circle?

    I find myself looking at those walnuts with an incredible sense of envy! :wang:

  14. Drusky

    Website Owner: Over developed finger muscles from pounding keyboard. Ability to palm and pick up bowling balls, watermelons, small cars with well developed mouse hand. Bloodshot eyes that resemble pissholes in the snow from staring at the monitor too much. Lack of sleep from waking up at 4am wondering “Are they going to catch that I posted a link to a video that I linked to 6 years ago?” Nervous tick in one eye from digesting all those horrible pictures, videos, and links sent to him that didn’t make it to the site and probably shouldn’t have seen the light of day at all. 😉

  15. Lab jockey for a solvent factory.
    Pretty cool job on some levels – I’d just arrive every morning, open a few bottles, inhale and the rest of the day flew by. The physical benefits were the ability to drool, blur my vision and forget my name on command. Many a zany adventures were had trying to find my way home after work – I only wish I could remember any of them.

  16. junkman

    -i think my worst job ever was at the a & p bakery. when they made old fashioned bread they put metal covers on the bread pans with the dough in them and they moved through the 4000 sq.ft oven on a conveyor system. my job was to stand inside the oven and make sure the lids stayed on. as a result i now have the ability to bake!

  17. JulesOdeNile

    then: EMT – Baltimore, MD. coolest Job, places to go, people to see (attend) word to be called!!!!, 4AM junk food to be had,
    skills: ability to drive up the 95 on sleep mode, get to base turn in rig and hop into own car in the same mode and get home safe. other skills: hear all kinds of hate words see all kinds of ungodly sights, get no thanks for job well done and keep working at it like it’s the first day after a nice vacation.

    now: moved countries, work at a dead end job as (door mat) thanks to previous training: i answer all phone calls with straight face and a smile, welcome all clients like am glad they are here, take blame for sh*t that was done in my absence and find solutions as best as possible, run (personal) errands for a brain-dead boss, get blamed some more, lose sleep at 4am due to residual effects of time switch and general insomnia, get emasculated on a regular and keep working like it’s the first day after a lovely vacation (economy recession is a bitch!)

  18. junkman

    i just remembered i used to do strip-o-grams and i would show up in a gorilla suit (this has nothing to do with the avatar). i would dance one song in the suit and then begin removing parts of the suit second song and you can guess how the third song went down. the gorilla suit was like the a & p bakery oven and this was in south carolina. so again i have the ability to bake! 👿

Interesting that our esteemed Davezilla hasn’t joined in this yet. Must be busy. That or he’s already gotten the pics and isn’t advertising it yet… 😀
