I'd rather perform back alley cocklighting for a living than do almost all of that stuff. I am curious as to what Ben gets, because I know he craves the sweet release of death over what it is they pay us to do as well.

By the way, my brother specifically asked me, in the past and this year, to not pick on some of his idiot friends during the fantasy baseball and football drafts that I am in, for his leagues. This is partially because some of the dumbest people I've ever met are involved (which is fine, I am not going to attack anybody over that) and also because they are capable of competition-killing moves. One guy traded away Scott Kazmir in a deal that was actually WORSE than the one that originally sent him to Tampa Bay.

Here's what I said after the guy's weak-kneed attempt to call me out, after I said (in general terms) that some owners were making bad trades:

I don't normally don't give a crap about the fact that most of the posts slapped together from you meaty-pawed, balding ham hocks read like they were assembled from glued-together colored pasta, but the phrase I think you were groping for in between deciding that having an injured Devil Ray third baseman named "Akinori" on your team was more valuable than the #1 overall prospect in baseball was "*You're* an idiot." Unless you just decided that if you were going to drop the future AL MVP this week you certainly weren't going to have any problems dropping apostrophes. I wouldn't normally say anything, because I hate nitpicking that shit but JESUS CHRIST.

But what do I know, any time you're able to grab the trifecta of a guy who is hurt, a Devil Ray AND a Japanese infielder you definitely want to hang onto him with death's grip. With your stellar decision making, if I actually clicked on his profile there is like a 60% chance that I'm going to find out that in addition to all that he's also a girl. There's probably a Ukranian shortstop with a club hand coming up in the Rangers' system that you can dump Prince Fielder for, you sniveling nobody. I hate to be the one to break it to you, because God knows who else in this league is unaware, but you actually get to keep 5 guys each year and not three. I'm thinking you could have found space for him seeing how your keeper list is now Hafner, Mauer, Fielder, Gorzelanny and Doumit.

But hey, at least he didn't immediately get picked up by someone in your own division so you won't have to face him for the next 20 seasons, Captain Bavasi.

I know that a lot of that might not be comprehensible, but trust me, it's hilarious. And for this, I was asked by my brother to lay off.

bruce · Post by **bruce** » Sun Sep 16, 2007 10:33 pm

1. Agricultural Engineer

Huh? I mean, OK, maybe it makes sense, kinda. But never a career I woulda picked.

2. Aerospace Engineer
3. Mechanical Engineer
4. Mechanical Engineering Tech
5. Biomedical Engineer
6. Computer Engineer
7. Electrical Engineer

Are we sensing a theme here? "6" is sorta close to what I do for real.

8. Architect
9. Chemical Engineer
10. Anthropologist
11. Mining Engineer
12. Oceanographer
13. Environmental Engineer

All things I might have enjoyed doing, actually. "Anthropologist" seems out of place, but anthropology is pretty cool. Just requires too much interpersonal contact.

14. Technical Writer

Yeah, I do this too in real life.

15. Petroleum Engineer
16. Mathematician
17. Industrial Engineer

Hey, why not just tell me I have Asperger's and get it over with? All, also, cool careers.

18. Historian

Hey, look, it's my Master's Degree!

19. Computer Programmer

Yeah, I do this too.

20. Taxidermist

RAWK.

21. Marine Biologist
22. Zoologist

I guess if I'm working with animals I'd prefer them dead.

23. Electronics Repairer
24. Model Maker

Hey, two of my hobbies, basically.

25. Elevator Installer and Repairer

WTF?

26. Operations Research Analyst
27. Office Machine Repairer
28. Project Manager
29. Multimedia Developer

Well, at least they got the relative ranking of these four right.

30. Race Car Mechanic
31. Aircraft Mechanic
32. Small Engine Mechanic
33. Diesel Mechanic
34. Motorcycle Mechanic

...and I am indeed thinking of taking up CNC milling as another hobby. Which leads pretty naturally into small engine repair.

35. Locksmith
36. Automobile Mechanic
37. Conservator
38. Engineering Tech

37 is a little odd there. Other than that, pretty much a continuation of the "fixin' stuff" theme.

39. Paleontologist
40. Hydrologist / Hydrogeologist

So, that's pretty interesting: "Asperger's engineering jobs, or scientific professions with a lot of fieldwork. Or fixing shit."

It makes sense.

Also, apparently, I should stuff beavers.
