Joe Jobs

Have you ever thought about quitting your job and just getting a "Joe Job"? The definition of a JJ is a no-brainer job that you would love to do instead of the work you are doing now.

My work-husband's wife (Mai) says she would love to work at Blockbuster. Just ringin' up people - handing them their movie - then sending them out the door.

My JJ is delivering flowers...who doesn't love getting flowers? You knock on the door, hand someone some beautiful flowers, get the "OMG - they are gorgeous!!!" then leave. And just like that, you've made someone's day...isn't that a great thought? If only it paid $100k a year...

My next secret JJ is this - doing the Bumper Music for the Silvertips Game. If any of you have connections - this would make a great gift for the 7th day of Laurakah this year (mark your calendars 2/7/09).

Here's the changes I would make to the music played at the Tips' games:

1) No more "Kung Fu Fightin'" - that song was stupid when it came out - it's stupid now.
2) No more "Cotton Eye'd Joe" - we live in the freakin' Northwest, not the South...
3) I'm bringin' back the MACARENA...yeah, deal with it.
4) More AC/DC
5) Instead of "Kiss Me" for the Kissing Contest, it's gonna be "I Kissed A Girl" from Katy Perry - I'm turning Comcast Arena into a big ol' lesbian fest. The guys will love it!
6) Funny clips from cartoons - "Zoiks" and "Rah Roh Raggy" are funny fillers when the ref bites it or the other team does something stupid.
7) No more "Put Your Hands Up in the Air"...whoever made that song has made enough damn money for the stupidest song ever written.
8) I would dedicate "Hit the Road, Jack" to the Foghorns at least once every game.
9) I would play the "Head On, Apply Directly to the Forehead" commercial clip when a player gets a sweet check put on them (the other team, of course).
10) I would play more 80's music...we all know it - we all love it.

So, those are my JJ choices - what are yours??

I can tell that I have been away too long since you are messing with the south! Have I told you how wonderful Tennessee is...I know...49 other states but who cares! :-) (OK, though, you're right, Cotton-eyed Joe does kinda suck!)

I've already worked Joe Jobs (done with them . . I hope), how 'bout I get paid ridiculous sums of money for sitting around on my butt for a change?

As for bumper music, there's a lot of hockey songs that don't get played, and bring on the "please mister linesman" bridge from the Arrogant Wyrms "Me Like Hockey" Just please, no more YMCA!!!

HOLY COW!
I love your "I Kissed A Girl" idea. So down. Big lesbian fests are awesome.
My J. Job? Hmm...
I had an awesome job working at Camel that was handing out free shit at bars to patrons and basically flirting with them to try to switch to Camels. That payed well though. But it was pretty much a J. job. Other than that, I think hooking would be fairly easy.
KIDDING.
