I want to be the owner of the world. Then assign portions of world control to a few of my friends. They are good people... Earth would end up being like a themed amusement park. We can have the Anarchist in Antarctica... just because that makes so much sense to me. We can banish all the self absorbed ignorant people to a deserted island, preferably one close to the Bermuda Triangle. Since America is the "Melting Pot" we can claim all the stoners, but we will not accept crack heads... They can go to Mexico where we can look down at them. Maybe a nice mountain area, far above sea level will be reserved for those of high philosophy, and masters of inner control and peace. Many of these places will operate on the barter system. If you want something, you trade for it. There can be a type of currency based on natural resources. Ahh yes... this would be fun...

Old-guy cycling clothes model. Mostly MTB, w/a smattering of milfapalooza spin class hottie sessions once or twice a year. Maybe a little old-school BMX but NO fixtie work. No offense, I just couldn't pull that one off.

Film censor on a board of ONE.

I'd pass everything uncut and let people decide for themselves.

By *non-related bass* do you mean *non-bass-related*? That's how I took it.

I'd also enjoy teaching bicycle mechanics to grade-school kids, as well as some basic riding skills.

When I think of the most rewarding jobs out there (beyond doctors, firemen, teachers, etc.) I typically think about the entertainment that also educates. I think a radio show like Loveline must be really rewarding to work on. I love humor, and if it's in combination with something that improves lives simultaneously; that's gotta be really satisfying. The Daily Show's current format is also focused on making the potentially dry political world accessible and entertaining to younger audiences, while often doing more quality fact checking than any of the 24hour news channels.

I'd love to work on either of those shows, or anything that would balance entertainment with education on that caliber.

Cognitive Science / Artificial Intelligence research scientist. I can think of nothing more fun than working on some of the really big questions: what does it mean to be intelligent? what is learning? How can we program these things into a machine?

Penis model.

I wanna be the real Oscar Meyer wiener and turn their wienie mobile into a phallic-shaped vehicle they can really be proud of.
