I've had an embarrassing (or used to be embarrassing) number of vocations in my life, ranging from penguin wrangler
Wait, what?
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Career stuff: this is the first line on the HR screening notes for a guy I interviewed the other day:
As a result of a plant closing at [past employer], Mike has spent the last year and a half performing chores around his house, spending time with family, and attempting to build a drag racing team.

We really were having a great time until we lost our minds and decided that finishing off the bottle was a good idea
The Good Captain has that effect on people, gay and straight.
Wily bastard.

Seven million dollars, Cash. And my dad said nobody likes a smartass. Somebody does. The View is well, kind of embarrassing.One Saturday Night Live sketch I've always laughed at. "And I wanted a sassy black woman like I'd seen on TV!"

Wait, what?
I wrangled the little buggers when San Diego Seaworld first opened. Their expected mortality rate (97%) ended up being their birthrate. CHAOS. I actually worked with all the critters in the Aviculture department. Good times.
When March of the Penguins came out, I had massive flashbacks. And advised everyone to be thankful it wasn't filmed in 'smell-o-vision.'

Universe - I know you're not doing it on purpose, but please discontinue any activity that would cause Barb to feel any less than the wonderful, caring, compassionate and intelligent woman that she is. M'kay? Thanks!
Meant to do this earlier:

Now tagless for your comfort.
And my dad said nobody likes a smartass.
He's obviously never met any of us.

Ooh. You worked with the emperors? Cass, DebetEsse and I got to go 'backstage' at SeaWorld and pet one of the macaronis.
The smelliest penguins I came into contact with were at the Dallas aquarium (black-footed penguins, they seem to be a popular choice in the US). A diet of raw seafood does not do wonders for the personal hygiene. IIRC, the animal with the foulest-smelling breath is the beluga (white whale), and for the same reason.

emperors, kings, macaronis, chin straps, you name it!
Yeah, that beluga breath is killa.
