How many posts til someone says gynocologist?

I don't know what my dream job might be. Cowboying was awfully cool when the weather and the pay was right. That didn't happen much though.

Well...I will admit to watching another reality show here...I forget what it's called, but it's similar to America's Top Model, but with dudes...I came across a marathon of it one day. Anyway...they were having them wear these ridiculous costumes...(they were trying to see their reactions to different situations they might be put in in the modeling world, as it was part of the judging) And this guy had tan lines like he wore board shorts but they were putting him in something shorter and someone had to apply makeup to his thighs to even out the tan...I would like that job...out of the 20 or so guys, about 16 of em were really hot...and guess what...catty as hell!

Not I, said the fly. Why ruin good fun by making it into a job? I'd think having to look at unattractive or sick ones all day would detract from one's desire to get close to them after duty hours had elapsed.

Myself, I'd love to own/operate a coffeeshop in Rotterdam. Then I could just moonlight as a Nieumarkt quality control agent for the Health Ministry. :thumb:

Not much chica in this gorrilla, sistah!
Speaking of gorillas, there is this porn store in a field, where they just pulled in 18 wheelers and set up shop. I must take pics. Anyway, there is a giant blue inflatable gorilla out front. My friend said, they should put a strap on, on the big monkey. Just thought it was funny. I hope there is a thread with gorilla and field porn pics really soon.

I was on the way to Big Bear one year and we stopped at this truck stop...we went in to use the bathroom and there was a little theater IN the truckstop showing porn...weird...

Don't hate on the hotties cuz they're hot...MOST of them seemed like regular guys that just got burdened with being really hot...couple of em were kinda weird...one dude that didn't make it was actually crying...it was kinda funny.
I wasn't. Lots of attractive men are masculine; in fact, I would think that should be a defining quality. The ones described above however, despite their looks, are not MEN.

Nope... I just remember seeing the add for it right after a 'queer eye' ad and laughing.

Oh did you watch the show too? That's what made it kind of funny...they were actually just normal guys (MOST of them) but that's ok...this just further supports my 'guys are so catty' statement...HAHAHAHA!

i always thought that the guys that get to test drive Ferraris job would be cool along with being a race car driver or fighter pilot the guys that get to customize/hot rod cars sounds fun too but in reality...i think being a military officer would be a cool job not much money in it but to beable to be a leader would be cool and a marketing director for a bike company sounds like a cool job too.

after a 4 year hiatus from the brokerage business i'm restarting from scratch again i'm making less than half of what i did this same time last year however this same time NEXT year i'll be making triple the skys the limit as far as money goes if your will to work hard but the stress and lack of riding time sucks.

years ago i knew a guy who's younger brother worked for Vivid Productions in California they produce porn videos. you woulda thought WoW what a cool job being around porno hotties all day but the guy hated it and he was just biding his time till he could get a job working for a movie studio.

Nah...I only watch Cowboys games on the tube. Me catty? Double nah. I just have very little patience and a selective filter for my civil pleasantries. I can be diplomatic when the situation calls for it, but why mince words when I have to type them? :p
