As for an alternate career...

There's a homemade sign posted on the student bulletin boards --- you know, those places where everyone posts flyers for various grad school and ROTC and make quick money at home! type ads. This one is advertising for a heavy metal band singer. The logo is a full-on, early Metallica rip-off, with pentagrams and runes and flaming axes and everything.

Too bad I can't stick my tongue out the way Gene Simmons can. On the other hand, I can scream pretty loud, so I should just go for it.

Instant fame and easy money, here I come!

And groupies! Don't forget about the groupies you'll get!!!

(Maybe you can be like Keith Richards and hire someone to carry the things you don't want to be caught carrying across borders and through checkpoints. /nod)

Call for an audition. I dare you.

At the very least, it will make for an interesting post!

I second Historiann's dare. DO IT!!

Suddenly I feel like paraphrasing from Clerks:

Sisyphus, METAL!

Gonna trade this life for fortune and fame!

Wow. Is heavy metal still a thing?

It's totally not still a thing. Except, in more rural areas, the 80s have never really died ... nor have mullets. I have plenty of 18-year-old kids in my classes who wear t-shirts proclaiming Zepplin the best band that ever lived or that Jim Morrison lives ... and those were "classic rock" back as far as I can remember.
