Whats your profession? And Why?

[HonestPirate]

This thread is so much more intereting than the show us your face thread !

Everyone's got an interesting story to tell....

Doesn't make us special, just different..

Ryan, if you are referring to The Rock's interp of the Tooth Fairy then I am totally down with it. My 7 yr old girl is convinced now the toothfairy is a giant handsome muscleman who loves kids and kicks bottoms.

longQi sounds like a crazy interesting life ! I used to work as a croupier at Jupiter's on the GC as a croupier before going to uni/kids... I took enough money to buy us all a house, and I was only there a couple of years !

I want to hear more about the Carribean Treasure stuff- that's right up my Pirate alley. hmm sounds sus worded like that doesnt it ?

(or should that be Galley ?)

She's pretty close, except for the muscle part hah !!!

 

[leamos]

Landscaper, because i'd hate to be stuck behind a desk, thinking of going back to uni and doing animal science specialising in herps in the next year or two

 

[HonestPirate]

mmmm then ill be drooling and thinking of The Rock everytime he posts!

beat me to it with the Dwayne reference !

 

[Sezzzzzzzzz]

No please conitnue it is not off topic at all.. I am about to be a first tome parent so i like to hear these stories. Pirate and you all inspire me. I still want to grow an individual and further my self. I am still not happy just being a youth worker and have looked into organising camps for kids with severe issues and helping direct these issues in the best possible way.

congrats Poggle! i bet you are excited! when is your bundle of joy due?

Zoo keeper. Awesome job, it is rewarding to work in wildlife husbandry and some work collegues can be just the nicest, most decent people there are. But don't be fooled, I have worked multiple places and not every zoo, park or sanctuary are ideal places to work with animals or people at all. As with any job, if your unhappy and there is little chance for change, shop around and move on. Don't dig in your heels with excuses not to leave, as a bad job will eat your life away.

beat me to it with the Dwayne reference !

Your daughter has great taste!!! hmmm, him and Vin are the only men id think about giving my man up for! lols.

".....it was at that point that the thread took a remarkably downhill turn, as all the hetero men WITHOUT massive biceps slipped out quietly with their security intact, being very careful to avoid the saliva on the way out....."

LADIES !!!!!!!

 

[Sezzzzzzzzz]

LOL! SORRY BOYS- i will control myself as long as you dont call yourself toothfairy and then you may recieve some dubious pm's from me!

 

[Addam]

I know some people might have a go at me for this but I am a surface mineral driller... Why? I like geology I suppose

 

[Snowman]

Until your an adult.......that sucks harder!

Posted same time as Sax! Great minds think alike!

Being and adult is equally as awesome as being a kid... I'm still both and it's fricken awesome

Okay then: You can have Dwayne, we'll have to share custody of Vin, and I get to keep Jason Statham

I like to take a scientific approach to monsters. My daughter is now convinced that monsters are so scary due to a defence mechanism whereby they puff themselves up (like her bluey Lurch), to scare off potential predators (children) who they are convinced will eat them alive. She now feels sorry for them. She also knows how to turn off 'scary robots' (I googled electrical circuits and showed her that an interruption in electrical currents will instantly render any scary robot powerless, baw haw haw...), and that skeletons are just people without any muscles or skin, so they'll fall over as soon as you blow hard enough.
Not bad for a 4yo

18th March.... Not soon enough!!! Getting to excited now!

Congrats Poggle! Just don't blink; as soon as you do they'll be older than you thought they were

Pirate
Gold in the Caribbean is not easy to find
But google General Grant and Auckland islands
As far as I know there is still a fortune waiting there for someone brave enough to go after it
[A great white bit a big seal in half while I was on hookah gear]
With the huge advances in underwater detection equipment it could be very feasible
50ft mother ship with compressors etc and detection gear and 3 big zodiacs with 7 very fit crew
But Im too used to warm water now and running out of energy

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT:

Dubious PM's are accepted only if accompanied by similarly dubious photographic evidence to back up the suggestive nature of all PM's.

And whilst I support all persuasions and their right to be miserable; I will only accept said messages from naturally born FEMALES for the forseeable future. Aka FOREVER. So first dude to send me a picture of his massive Oenpelli is going to be photoshopped onto a midget with similarly sized appendage and then will be displayed as my avatar for eternity.

Thank you.

Be careful what you wish for...
When one wishes for their dreams to come true, are they thinking of those dreams brought forth from the depths of the armpit of a bad night?
Now think carefully about what some people out there may find... suggestive...

BRING IT ON LADIES

Let's just remember that all PM's will be replied to. ;P

You are a sucker for punishment aren't you Pirate!

 

[HonestPirate]

YES ! There is no success without struggle !

I am going to change my avatar from that ugly guy to someone more appropriate to get the ball rolling....
