Yikes. All of these serious debate threads at once are crowding out the fluff and making me nervous. It's time we had more FLUFF!!
There was a thread that asked us what we did for a living. Now I ask you my fellow Hatrackers, what WOULD you do? If you could get paid to do anything for the rest of your life, what would it be? (Sleeping doesn't count. )
Me, I would be employed at a University with and elite, but small, wealthy, but small music department. I would be head of choral activities and conduct the elite (and small) 40 voice choir...and we would tour around the world singing all the greatest stuff that has ever been written. Yeah, that would be great.

I would invent horrible screaching sounds on a Moog Synthesizer and play them for people.

Sorry for the extra post, but I just needed to tell you Bob that I was ROTFLMAO!!! Posted by Shigosei (Member # 3831) on :
Be a perpetual student and conduct scientific research.
Posted by Cianwn (Member # 4472) on :
Be a diplomat.
Posted by Bob the Lawyer (Member # 3278) on :
I would be able to fly, preferably by being able to turn into a bird.
Posted by Emperor Palpatine (Member # 3544) on :
Dedicate my life to religious research and math.
You know, figure out some way to connect the two, maybe figure out the Meaning of Life and the Mysteries of the Universe.
Or, maybe I can work in a cubicle!
Yeah, that would be fun.
Posted by Paul (Member # 3904) on :
Watch TV and smoke weed.
Bob, it's screeching.
Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :
If I could do anything and be paid for it, I would be as sexy as I am all day long and get tons and tons of money for it.
Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
You mean you want to be one of those live manequins in the department store windows?! Man, that's hard work!
Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :
I would smack Paul everytime he turned into a grammar/spelling nazi. If I was paid a grand a day I figure I'd be scoring at about a dollar a pop.
Oh, and I would frequently use terms such as "upside your head," "show you the back of my hand" and the beloved "my pimp-hand is strong."
Posted by Nato (Member # 1448) on :
"my pimp-hand is strong." -- Hahahahahaha! First rate!
I'd play a game of mafia a day, get enough sleep every night and make a movie.
Posted by Ophelia (Member # 653) on :
I would actually have the discipline and the skill to write the novels and screenplays that I come up with.
Either that or I'd be a perpetual mooch. Oh, wait, that's probably what I'll end up being, anyway. I love that my friends adore me enough to pay for things like plane tickets.

Traveler
Posted by knightswhosayni! (Member # 4096) on :
i would make a movie, and finish my book, and draw, and do theater tech, and ride horses for money.
Ni!

Juror.
Posted by Fluffy (Member # 3399) on :
I would want to be the soveriegn ruler of North America. Slash would get to have the rest.
Posted by Cor (Member # 4295) on :
I would write novels, in reality.
In my fantasy world, I would color giant posters in a variety of markers and sell them for thousands of dollars. With the money, I would pay for the arthritis treatment I would need from coloring in all those little details.
Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :
I'd spend all day on Hatrack.
No, I am not addicted. What makes you say that? Huh? I'd fight, but there are so many threads needing me to post on.....
Posted by Zalmoxis (Member # 2327) on :
PapaMoose: Please elucidate.
Posted by Kayla (Member # 2403) on :
I was going to say hatrack....
So, Narina, only dwarfs?
Posted by Vána (Member # 3262) on :
I think, if I could do anything, I would work in the Library of Congress, in the audio department.
I would also play in an orchestra.
edit to add: and sing in Narnia's choir, playing oboe for them whenever needed or wanted.

Posted by Fael (Member # 3015) on :
I'd have a studio and paint for a living.
Probably while listening to Bob's Screeching Moog music

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
Maybe a couple dwarfs...but it would be small as in LESS PEOPLE I'd have to have Icarus, Cor, Vana and the Hatrackers in my choir too...
Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
Dave Barry would say that "Narnia and the Hatrackers" is a great name for a band...
Posted by Dragon (Member # 3670) on :
World traveler, Jatraquira, singer in Narnia's choir, historian, actress, do I have to decide?
Posted by Tenske Tawa (Member # 4583) on :
I would get my band signed and play concerts everyday with millions of screaming fans and have lots of money if I could do anything in the world Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
Zal -- I'd prefer civil cases to criminal?
Posted by Cassandra (Member # 4566) on :
I'd be a concert pianist.
[This message has been edited by Cassandra (edited January 30, 2003).]
Posted by Paul (Member # 3904) on :
Hehe... you said pianist.
Posted by Cassandra (Member # 4566) on :
Why's that amusing? Am I missing something? *looks around*
Posted by Maethoriell (Member # 3805) on :
I don't really have anything to dream about right now expect for something around talents. Something in music, art, drama or evetnually writing..
Posted by blacwolve (Member # 2972) on :
I'd be able to write all of the ideas running around in my head and have it be good. Or lacking that, I'd be a publisher of young adult fantasy and science fiction.
Posted by Cassandra (Member # 4566) on :
Oh, I'd also like to be an ambassador to the United States . . .
Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
Forgive my ignorance Cassandra...an ambassador from where?
Posted by Ela (Member # 1365) on :
I like Shigosei's choice:
quote:Be a perpetual student and conduct scientific research.
And, of course, during down times, I would spend lots of time at Hatrack - and more time making plans to get together with Hatrack friends.

heehee...*bump*
It would be awesome if I got paid to read good books.
Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :
You know, I was reading this without looking at the date. My first thought was "Oh my gosh, someones gotten a hold of my password."
Then I realized just how vain I was and suddenly, all was right with the world.
Posted by ae (Member # 3291) on :
I'd be the dancing smiley who gets to hold the balloon. Posted by Eruve Nandiriel (Member # 5677) on :

WAS? Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
Holy moly, this is an old thread!!
Anyone still interested in being in my choir? You'd have to re-enroll in high school, and wait a couple years until I'm done with grad school...oh, and you'd also have to wait and enroll where I eventually get a job, which could be in an exciting place like Kalamazoo! Sounds great!
