"When I Grow Up"...

[Pieces Hit]

When you was a kid, what did you want to be?

I didn't know then and still don't.

One thing's for sure; I wouldn't have guessed I'd be a Computer Nerd.

My dang high school voted me most likely to be riding a Harley in ten years.

Now I ride a chair all day.

Sheesh.

[pb4ou]

My first favorite TV show was Emergency. It made me want to be a fireman.

[soonerbrat]

I wanted to be a Veterinarian.

I got sidetracked.

[Mjcpr]

I want to be a yes man.

[skycat]

I thought for sure by 30, I would have conquered my first galaxy.

[Mjcpr]

I wanna claw my way up to middle management.

[Ike]

I wanted to be a starting pitcher for the Yankees.
and if that didn't work out, a fighter pilot.



never thought I'd be a scientist though.

[Mjcpr]

I want to file, all day.

[Fugue]

When I were a kid, I wanted to be an Engrish teacher.

[1stTimeCaller]

I wanted to be a fighter pilot. F-16s were gonna be my trade.

[soonerbrat]

I wanted people to pay me to see them naked.



i'm sure some of them would have to pay a LOT to have someone see them naked.

[SicEmBaylor]

I decided what I was going to do in 4th grade, and I never looked back. I"ve never even considered doing anything else since then. And in that way I consider myself blessed, because I have several friends who are ready to graduate that sitll have no real clue what they're going to do.

[Ike]

[soonerbrat]

did you achieve your goal?

[royalfan5]

I wanted to be a farmer. Now it looks like I will make my living off of providing something to farmers and/or selling their products. However, I won't deal with shiftless ranchers.

[mdklatt]

I never had an answer to that question. I guess that's why I work at Initech. And every day since I started working here is worse than the day before, so every time that you see me it's on the worse day of my life.

[mdklatt]

Awesome...ag smack.

[silverwheels]

"What do you want to be when you grow up?"

"I want to be a space astronaut! Go to outer space and discover things that have never been discovered!"

"Well, you're British, so scale it down a bit."

"Alright...I want to work in a shoe shop! Discover shoes that have never been discovered..."

"Well, you're British, so scale it down a bit."

"I want to work in a sewer. Discover sewage that's never been discovered! Pile it on top of my head, and sell myself to an art museum!"

"What the **** have you been smoking, eh?"

The Ranchers and the Farmers should be friends.......

[royalfan5]

The Ranchers and the Farmers should be friends.......
Haven't you see the Westerns where the rancher's kill the farmers over barb wire? Besides the Rancher's have it easy up here, solid cattle prices for feeder cattle, cheap land, less need for capital intensive machinery, no city folk being all whiney.

[soonerscuba]

did you achieve your goal?

If the price I fetch is any indication I would say yes. :texan:

Have you ever seen Rogers and Hammerstiens "OKLAHOMA"?

I'd sing the song for you but the stage isn't big enough.........:D

[royalfan5]

I will see movies about Gay Cowboys, but I draw the line at musicals.

Territory folk should stick together, territory folk should all be pals.

Ranchers dance with the farmers' daughters, farmers dance with the ranchers' gals! :)

YeeHaw!

[GDC]

I solved that dilemma by farming and ranching simultaneously.

[IB4OU2]

I will see movies about Gay Cowboys, but I draw the line at the musical Oklahoma.

More proof that you're a husker.........;)

[Viking Kitten]

YeeHaw!

I've got that f***in' song stuck in my head now.

[IB4OU2]

I've got that f***in' song stuck in my head now.

Sorry....:O let it lead into to the Oklahoma song...

[Tailwind]

I wanted to be an airline stewardess....until I figured out that I was afraid to fly. Then I wanted to be a scientist......until I figured out that you had to pass elementary science classes. Then I wanted to be a torch singer......until I figured out that I couldn't sing.

[SoonerInKCMO]

I wanted to be a garbage man so I could hang off the back of the truck while it was driving down the street.

[proud gonzo]

I was going to football games and marching shows before I was even born. :rolleyes: I've always wanted to do what my daddy does. And now I'm finally getting there.

[soonerscuba]

I've always wanted to do what my deddy does. And now I'm finally getting there.

All I wanna do is race, deddy!

[Melo]

[ChickSoonerFan]

I wanted to be a weatherman....I still do though! Is that bad?

Why would that be bad?

[chriscappel]

I dunno just the whole still stuck on the childhood dream thing....

[JohnnyMack]

I always hoped an Imperial Star Destroyer would show up so I could go with them. And then maybe they'd let me unleash an planetary bombardment on Stillwater before I left.

[OklahomaTrombone]

I wanted to be a garbage man so I could hang off the back of the truck while it was driving down the street.

[Melo]

amen brutha!

[Tailwind]

Chis,just how far beyond childhood are you now?

[PhxSooner]

I wanted to be a nurse when I was little. I got to college wanting to go into foreign service and be a spook, but marriage and a move to Phoenix changed that a bit. Now I stay at home with two kids and read the NSA website for fun. I still think a stay-at-home mom is the perfect spy cover...

[chriscappel]

Chis,just how far beyond childhood are you now?

thats messed up!

[GottaHavePride]

Territory folk should stick together, territory folk should all be pals.

Ranchers dance with the farmers' daughters, farmers dance with the ranchers' gals! :)

All right, we'll give some land to the ******* and the ******, but we don't want the Irish!

[Tailwind]

Why? It was an honest question. Cherish your youth my friend......once it's gone, it's gone.

[chriscappel]

Well i had to grow up a bit too fast...

[chriscappel]

[Tailwind]

Sorry to hear that. Getting old sucks, but I guess it beats the alternitive. :D

[chriscappel]
