What did you want to be when you grew up?
« on: June 19, 2012, 10:09:57 AM »
I was convinced I was going to be the shortstop for the Royals AND a wide receiver for the Chiefs.

I finally gave up on both of those last year. :(

Royals pitcher or outfielder.  Took me awhile to realize I sucked at baseball.

I wanted Arnold Schwarzenegger to be my dad, and then I was going to follow in his legacy and become a real beef cake.

We've done this.  Saul said he wanted to own an EMAW message board.

I wanted to have a widely fluctuating memory.

royals baseball player and yeah i'm pretty sure we've done this one before. what's interesting is that even at a young age i think i was pretty realistic, because i kind of remember thinking that i'd be like a utility infielder or something for the royals. like yeah the whole royals thing and playing for them was absurdly unrealistic, but at least i wasn't projecting myself as an all-star or anything.

Really wanted to be an announcer or statistician for the Royals. Or a player of course.

All of you guys who wanted to work/play for the Royals really dodged a bullet.

Grats.

Fantastic idea. Instead of crushing my future children's dreams, I'm just going to water them down a bit.

Let me ask you this, Daris, are you at all upset that you fell short of your not-so-lofty major league dream? Probably not.

I wanted to be a hockey player. I remember my mom telling me that I would lose all of my teeth, so I had to promise her I'd still wear a cage even though it didn't look cool. .
Back off, man. I'm a scientist.

what can i say, if you shoot for the stars of being a switch hitting spray the outfield type utility infielder and end up short then there's no reason to hang your head. also, i bet all of the other kids in the boston hockey league you played in while growing up got quite the kick out of that.
