who would you rather be?

Comments Filter:
  • Cause then I get to play with fire. Baker's get to play with fire a little bit, but I'll get to test my rocket^W128 wick candle with embedded propellant.
  • Because I like dissecting/flaying things.
    And I love my knife.

    On the real, err, I mean, rizzeal.
  • mmm cookies are good.

    Or I could open a store and sell sexy cakes. You know, ones with a figure of a woman going to the bathroom.

    PS. I've posted way too much in Em's journal today. I really should have gotten more work done.

  • I like to cook.
  • Comment removed based on user account deletion
  • Who do YOU think I'd be.

    So frickin' obvious. :-)
  • With modern tools like easy-to-use bread makers we don't need as many bakers and with the electric lightbulb we can keep candles just for aroma or ambiance, but we hardly go out kill and butcher our own meet - thus I would like to be the butcher.

    I have always wanted to learn where the different cuts of meats come from, which ones are better, and WHY! I try and absorb all the Good Eats tips but they fly by too fast for my non-auditory-based learning.

    Well, off to cook some veal.
  • "Sloppy the Butcher" just sounds like a cooler title than "Sloppy the Baker" or "Sloppy the Chandler." I bet it works for just about anyone's name. "Em the Butcher?" Oh yeah.

    Perhaps a better poll would be: which informal war-criminal title is the best?

    • .. the butcher
    • .. the impaler
    • .. the pitiless surgeon
    • .. whose arms are red with gore
    • .. whom vultures follow (oops, I just realized I'm stealing names from Myth2:Soulblighter's berzerkers)
    • etc
  • Seems like fewer opporunities for injuries. You don't want me in charge of big knives or hot wax. Plus, you get to eat the rejects...

      I hope Bethanie doesn't see this. ;)
  • 1. Limited liability. If you make or prepare food, then you run the risk of poisoning the whole village. I wouldn't want to be on the end of the lynch mob when that happens. When it does happen though, you'll be in the money if you're the candlestick maker - those lynch mobs sure like operating at night, and they sure love brandishing burning objects.

    2. No threat from the diet of the month. Vegatables only? Well, you're screwed if you're the butcher. Atkins month? Well, then say goodbye to the bakery. Nope
  • in my spare time. i'm far better at baking and candlestick making than butchering though, since I do them way more.
