New feature -- What does this guy look like?

Something new I'm going to do here...take the Yahoo sports photo of a player on the opposing team from today's game, put it up, and ask everyone here...

What does this guy look like?  If he weren't a baseball player, just based on how he looks in this picture, what do you think he'd be doing?

To start off...we have Toronto's Scott Downs:

I'm thinking a tow truck driver, or maybe a clerk at one of those MegapleXXX Video Stores you see on I-35 and I-45.

My first thought was Jeff Brantley...

...which is unfortunate for Mr. Downs since JB is such a douche.

Right around the time all the young talent is ready to contend is when the organization will realize that Ron Washington is the wrong man for the job.

I don’t think I could say he looks like one of the clerks at the MegapleXXX Video Stores since I have never been in one of those stores. So, I have to take you at your word and your experience AJM. :)

Hola

“yo soy Horsedooty” is redundant.

“soy Horsedooty” would be sufficient, as the “yo” is implied.

Internet message boards are just the place for general formalities.

If this were 1992, that would be the perfect set up for a “Not” joke.

He looks a bit like

a guy I got sent out for a few days with to try to sell meat door-to-door from a freezer in the back of a truck. He was a chain-smoker, drove a slightly overloaded Toyota Tacoma at 95 miles an hour, was selling the meat door-to-door to get out of paying child support, made me hit up every beauty salon in Tulare, Calif. and whenever someone bought some meat and paid with a check, had them make the check out to me because I had two forms of ID, so I could cash the check, since having the check written to the company meant a big chunk of it would be taken out as a “fee.” Then for all the crap I went through, he gave me $20 and kept the rest of the money we made that day.

downs has longer, darker hair, but similar facial features.

Well, his job definitely involves a name tag of some sort

Probabaly one of those sewed on name patches. And his name is either Ricky or Darryl or Wade (it is actually Ricky Joe or Darryl Lee, but the name patch only has so much space).

I would say Jiffy Lube “technician,” but that’s too obvious. I’m gonna go with plumber’s helper. He’s the guy that carries the wrenches/digs the trenches.

All the unionized plumbers have determined that he’s not really real plumber material, and they mock him incessantly for it. “Hey Darrell (I’m changing the spelling b/c Darrell’s parents wouldn’t have any sissified “Y” in the spelling of their son’s name [What’s that French or sumpin??]), I forgit, which direction does water flow, up, down, or side to side?” hee haw hee!

And when he says shit fire, and dareel says shit fire alot, it is sort of his catchphrase, each words comes out at 4 syllables.

Geez, Adam

...maybe a clerk at one of those MegapleXXX Video Stores you see on I-35 and I-45.

You could at least try to be discreet.

Anyway, the guy in the picture works in my post office. “Do you want to send that certified?”

We should all post our own pictures and have everyone else say what we look like…as for Mr. Downs, I’m thinking Beau bridges fat drunken cousin.

A little lewd, I know, but I just gotta.

Dante Hicks: You ever notice how all the prices end in nine? Damn, that’s eerie.
Randal Graves: [reading a magazine] Have you ever wondered how much the average jizz-mopper makes per hour?
Dante Hicks: What’s a jizz-mopper?
Randal Graves: He’s the guy that cleans up the nudie booth after each guy jerks off.
Dante Hicks: Nudie booth?
Randal Graves: Yeah, nudie booth. You’ve never been in a nudie booth?
Dante Hicks: I guess not.
Randal Graves: Oh, it’s great. There’s this glass between you and these chicks, and they put on a show for you for like 10 bucks.
Dante Hicks: What kinda show?
[Customer walks up to counter with a bottle of glass cleaner and a roll of paper towels]
Randal Graves: They do the weirdest, craziest shit you like to see chicks do. They insert things into any opening on their body – ANY opening.
Dante Hicks: Could we not talk about this right now?
Randal Graves: The jizz-mopper’s job is to clean off the glass after each guy shoots a load. I don’t know if you noticed, but cum leaves streaks if you don’t clean it right away.
Offended Customer: I will never come to this place again!
Dante Hicks: I’m sorry?
Offended Customer: Using filthy language in front of the customers, you both should be fired!
Dante Hicks: I’m sorry, I guess we got carried away.
Offended Customer: I don’t know if sorry could make up for it, you’ve highly offended me.
Randal Graves: Well if you thinks that’s offensive, check this out!
[Shows him graphic picture from porn mag]
Randal Graves: I think you can see her kidneys!

Insurance Adjuster

Probably deals with lead paint claims, divorced, and significantly out of shape.

I worked with him right out of college while I was still in grad school. Kind of douche, because of the recent influx of younger kids coming in, even though he is only like 28.

Oh, and he never forgets to mention to you that he is being “groomed” for management. Oddly enough, his wife is pretty hot.

I think the he looks like:

A guy who’d be one of those seemingly honest auto mechanics, where there’s just something a little off about about him, but you can’t quite put your finger on it and so you think it’s prolly just your imagination and he’s prolly actually is an upstanding guy and you should stop over thinking things like this cause there’s nothing you can do about it since you don’t know enough about cars to ever figure out if he’s screwing you or not, but every time you deal with him a little voice in the back of your head won’t shut up about how he’s definitely screwing you over and that you should start taking your car somewhere else.

He looks like a 1st grade teacher I know of, which is kind of creepy, because that guy always sort of gave me the creeps…in the smiles-too-much kind of way.
