this topic would be much more appropriate (and better received)on TOS (link anyone, rc is rather bored) but i’ll ask anyway! 
when you were a child, what did you ‘want to be when you grew up’?
me: either a pharmacist (what kind of kid would come up with that?) or a ‘friendly alligator’. dang i was a ‘special’ child!
Alligator pharmacist, ahm, yeah….
I wanted to be an astronaut. But then again, who didn’t? I also dreamt of opening up a medieval restaurant, being a painter, saxophonist, what else…
I wanted to be optimus prime
I wanted to be a disc jockey. Didn’t happen professionally, although I did have my own radio show on the college non-comm.
Airline pilot.

announced when i was 4: doctor!
go figure
When I was small I wanted to destroy the universe.
I wanted to be a "business woman", or a teacher.
A teacher.

Who wants to Optimus Prime when you could be Voltron!
No! Your being ignorant!

hey i thought you were on a world trip?!

Chucko didn’t cross my path…….
Anyways, I have a childhood dream, not from years ago, but from my child inside. I should’ve joined the circus……..
To never die. I have never known what i wanted to be.
a doo-dess
I had a serious lisp and couldn’t say stewardess.
That only lasted until I was 3 1/2… then the flood gates opened and I went through many phases- the most fun being the astronaunt phase in 85? Right after I saw Space Camp for the first time. I would fling myself back in my grandad’s lazy boy as fast as I could to simulate g forces!

An astronaut, fighter pilot, or pro baseball player.
A travel agent, how far off I got being in Banking. Hmmm….. Now I wish I was the medical pathology sector.
The Herr was scouted on numerous occasions by the L.A. Dodgers during high school but due to a serious elbow injury in his senior year, his pro baseball career as a pitcher didn’t take off like he had anticipated.
Fuck’n injuries!!!!!
Paris, Nice, Arles, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Madrid
A drag queen…. er, rather NOT! Yeah, a doctor or dentist (= big $$$)
But now I’m aspiring to become a World-class, top notch, first-rate orchestral conductor
Who was Voltron?
What the fuck does a conductor do anyhow? Other people play the instruments while you wave a silly stick about like a wanker. Are you telling me a bunch of classically trained musicians couldn’t play a song without you wagging your baton about like a fairy?
Yer kidding, right?
No, I don’t remember. Was he an autobot or decepticon? Its been like 18 fucking years cut me some slack.
Archaeologist in Egypt
Without a conductor the band would fall apart during performance and the music would sound like shit no matter how trained musicians are. You talking about upwards to 100 plus musicians playing a myriand of instruments at different keys, tones and notes at different times and it’s the responsibility of the conductor to combine the all of those aspects to make beautiful music. He is the leader directing the tempo and flow of the music calling the shots on stage like a movie director calling the shots on a film set or the head chef calling the shots at a busy, upscale restaurant. He controls how fast or slow the orchestra or band is playing and precisely when the music ends. All band members use their peripheral vision to see him and his baton waving in the air at the same time they read their musical notes. It’s not easy being a conductor and it’s obvious why they are required.

Chuck’s post reminded me of this.
Sickboy’s post reminded the Herr of this.
Paris, Nice, Arles, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Madrid
What the hell is that Sick? From a movie or something?
Don’t lie! You know you were never scouted by the Dodgers. And you hurt your arm whilst masturbating attempting the "Over-the-shoulder-boner-holder" with your band leader, ya phuckin’ goofball!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha
I wanted to be a Jedi Knight.
Hey! That was when I was like 5 or 6.
Now, I wanna be James Bond.
In the words of Jack Nicholson, "YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!!!!!"
What the hell did the Syd do with the money????????
What money, he asks?????
The fuck’n money his parents gave him for "comedian" school!!!!!!!!
The only time he’s fuck’n funny is when he stares in the mirror at himself every day!!!!!!
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!
Paris, Nice, Arles, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Madrid
Actually, that’s pretty funny. You know how sometimes it’s not the messenger, but the message, that brings about the effect? Well, this is one of those times.
Thanks Herr for sending the message.
Yeah! The greatest movie of all time! I won’t spoil it now, as I think clunker might have a guess on it.
Hey Herr, Im not suprised you are typing about sucking his dick! What the phuck does that have to do with me???
Freudian slip much??
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAH
What a phuck’n phlam’n idiot!!!!!! Obviously this one flew over the cuchoo’s (or sickboy’s) nest!!!!!!
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Paris, Nice, Arles, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Madrid

I’d say you missed it, probably typing how much you wanted to suck dick like you did above, again!
What??? The jboy not around to help his bitch, the sicboy, out of a decent comebackZ?????? What a fuck’n jackass!!!!!!!!!!!!
Paris, Nice, Arles, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Madrid
I’M LISTENING TO THE FUCKING SONG!!!
I knew it!
Congratulations, you’ve earned yourself a free beer!
Hang your head in shame chucko!
Did we have a thread of quotes already clunker??
No.
I was too busy puttin’ on the foil, coach.
So, where is it from?
baahhhhh you guys are ruining my thread, guess karma’s kicking my ass right now as it’s usually me guilty of thread hijacking!
random note: some 70 year old vagabond polished my shoes today while waiting for the bus. gave him a few dollars (i’m a sucker okay) although i wish i had some of those meal vouchers to give instead. has this issue ever been discussed before? hmmmm think i’ll do a search!
And you’re Canadian?
I thought you guys could quote Slapshot like scripture!
