you could have been Mike Rowe and had to stick your finger up his ass.

Yup, I'm going to have to watch my Dirty Jobs DVDs again, just so I can watch Mike's face when he hears the things he has to do.

It's funny cause it's true, Sail. I'm shocked at the number of Jobs that involve that kind of thing. If I had to, I could bear up, I'm not saying that, but I think a lot of the anticipation would be gone from that particular day. You feel me?

has Mike done shaft cleaning yet? I tried looking it up on the Dirty Jobs website but with no success. I haven't had my hand in anyone's rectum but I have been up to my forearm in a horse's penis.

Aw, sorry, Connie. I know that's a hardship, too. Being that he's been beat with the ugly stick.(/sarcasm font)

Yeah, he's such a trouper, but every once in a while, you see this look like "Is it too late for grad school?" or "Man. I thought I hated the *tights*." It doesn't last long, though. ETA: Possibly, Laga...I'm such a newbie. But I have been flagged for profanity on their board already.(I used the word "lick" which had been flagged. Seriously. But they are REALLY worried about that board turning into Rowe's Bitches...won't somebody think of the children?) So, did the horse call the next day?(/amateur Rowe)

I know I posted pictures of her just the other day...but my daughter is such a goof: [link]

Ha! Too cute, Susan!

In fact it was this horse's penis. Poor Hansel (the grey guy) had an illness that created a lot of gunk which neccessitated cleaning once a week (most horses need it twice a year at most). The guy with the blue ribbons in his mane is Sunny. I got to be his groom when he pulled Dr. Dulcamarra's wagon in Elisir Di Amore at the Lyric Opera. Weird that they have two pics of carriage horses on their site and they just happen to be two of the horses I was most intimate with when I worked at Noble.

Well, somewhere with all the inseminations, I wouldn't be surprised. Yeah, love horses, but that's a Dirty Job. Especially if he never sent flowers.

he gave very sweet kisses...

oh the cheek! god you people are sick.

Sunny never gave me flowers either but on opening night at the opera my family sent two bouquets. One was in my dressing room and the other backstage in the freight elevator that served as a stall between acts. I got a beautiful flower arrangement and Sunny got a bundle of carrots tied with a raffia bow!

One of my very favorite DJ clips involves Rowe talking to a pig he's just inseminated, essentially as if he's been overcome with chemistry, but he knows it wouldn't last. It sounds much weirder just written like that.
