How about "Salma Hayek's Personal Waxing Specialist"?

I'd love it when she'd go Brazilian ... probably take me 2, maybe 3 hours to massage the moisturizer in afterwards. She'd be pretty spent and relaxed by the time I was done.

Trying to do the whole rock band thing, I'm pretty much trying to live my dream job. Although in another universe I'd love to be a high level football coach.

If I had a steady lotto payment, no matter how small, I could live happily in a mud-hut. I don't know about the snails though.

400 million I mean.

I'd love to be able to make a profession out of building bikes. I love doing it, but I could never make the jump into making it a full time bidness.

bicycle bikes or motorcycles?

I help a friend rebuild/recondition donated bicycles ... sometimes a lot more work than it seems ... but worth it when you see some needy kid ride off on it

Motorcycles... I build them in my spare time...mostly for friends, but I have sold a few. Here are a few I have built/restored...

Mine - 2001 Honda VT750

I just built this for a friend - CB400 Cafe Racer

Another one of mine - Restored 1977 Ironhead (this bike was recovered in a flood)

That is one thing I miss is riding bike. I just had a yamaha 400xs but it was a blast. My buddy had an V45 that he never rode and I put a lot of miles on that on for longer rides. But I sold my bike and my .44 mag revolver for a wedding ring for the wife. I will have a bike again one day.

I worked a summer at the Boys and Girls Club. The following summer the guy that wrote the grant that funded their summer program, put in a little stipulation that they hire students from his alma mater... otherwise I'd have done it every summer since. Anyway, I worked in a program that provided a summer program outside of the actual club. It was in one of the poorest neighborhoods in town and at the end of the summer a local car dealership passed out bikes they'd collected and rebuilt. They just backed up a truck and passed out bikes. That was really cool to witness.

That was a really fun job. It didn't pay much, but I'd have done it for free if I could afford it. We had field-trips at least once a week, even if it was just going to the neighborhood pool. We went to the movie theater several times. The zoo, a local cave, bowling, roller skating... hell, I'd have paid to spend my summer there. If we didn't have anything special going on, I was in charge of the gym. Eight hours of basketball or some variation of tag.
