Dirty Jobs

[BarbR]

Tonight's episodes are a replay of "Avian Vomitoligist" at 6PM Central. This also includes Cow Pregnancy and Marble Quarry.

The new one is "Garbage Pit Technician" at 8PM Central, which includes Printing Press and TerraCotta Mfg.

It also looks like on July 4th the whole day (9AM-5PM) will be back to back Dirty Jobs.

The worst thing is that you first have to arouse the elephant before you can wash its penis. And you can't just aim a hose at it either. You have to really get in there and scrub. So basically you're also an Erotic Elephant Masseuse.

An elephant fluffer?

I really enjoy this show and am fascinated at some of the jobs out there. More power to him for even considering trying some of these jobs, if even only for a day. *thinks of episode where the toilet exploded and the whole basement was covered in septic sludge*

Mmmmmm. Mike Rowe. Mmmmmmmm. That is all. oh, wait, I wish I were his elephant. Heh heh.

Yay for Mike Rowe love. Personally, I like any man whose motto is "It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it". But then, I am a big ol' perv.

Must remember the Dirty Jobs marathon on July 4th. I'm probably working that day, but I'll probably be able to catch a few episodes.

I gotta fight you for him too? Git in tha ring. I got my hair in a ponytail and everything.

On tonight's episode where they were doing the lithographing, he mentioned being greased up and well hung (while looking at lithos of the show's promo poster produced on old school equipment). The visual of that alone made me want to be his personal greaser upper.

Heh. I love all his dirty jokes. Emphasis on dirty. Like when he had plaster all over his hands and said "I'm hardening up here. As the saying goes." I laughed, and then I blushed.

Uh oh, tinyshoes, looks like you're getting more challengers for the love of Mike Rowe. This thread could get very interesting!

I would like to formally throw my hat in the ring for the Mike Rowe battle royale.

I remember sitting watching an episode of Dirty Jobs and I was like, "la, la, la, la, la... Mike, you're so funny.... ohmygoshdoihaveacrushonMikeRowe? I think I do!" I was quite shocked by it at the time, but I'm a sucker for a funny guy.

On a side note- has anyone ever seen the Whale Autopsy Technician episode? It's listed in the credits as one of Mike's jobs, but I don't believe it's ever aired, and I find the concept of that fascinating.

I've seen a couple of eps, but now I think we'll have to watch the July 4th marathon. I don't remember feeling one way or the other about Mike <ducks>. I saw "Avian Vomitoligist" in the TV listing but we didn't watch it. Would anyone care to enlighten me as to what in gawd's name an avian vomitoligist DOES? Does it have something to do with owls or vultures? Feeding baby birds? Dayum!

[kostgard]

I believe (if I am remembering correctly) an "Avian Vomitologist" is some dude who collects owl puke (which comes up in one big nugget) and ships it off to schools for study.

I missed the elephant episode. And I thought the one with the horse breeders was bad (where Mike had to collect the sample from a stallion then fertilize a mare with a turkey baster).

At the end of last night's episode they still had the plea for people to send in more dirty jobs. I'm sure the show gets good ratings for them, but they are running out of ideas. Surely there are a ton of people out there who have to do icky stuff to make a living.

I got my earrings out, my sweat pants on, and Vaseline on my face. I'm ready to rock.

I haven't seen the whale autopsy episode either. That outta be disgusting.
