It all started out so well in our Morning Skate, then commenter Dr. Gigawolf changed the whole day with this comment.
Sometimes for fun…
I show non hockey fans pictures of Phil Kessel in street clothes and ask what they think this man does for a living. Here are some of the responses I get:
- “Did he invent some shitty hipster website?”
- “I think I went to high school with that guy. He smelled bad.”
- “Professional dog walker?”
- “Adjunct professor of medieval history?”
- “Turtle enthusiast?”
For reference and so you can play at home, this is the picture I most often use:
This one was too good not to share with the world, so I Tweeted the game out to the masses and started collecting answers. This has been a wonderful experience. Here’s what we came up with. We got a TON of responses and didn’t have space for everything, although you can check out all the submissions at @WingingitMotown’s favorites on Twitter.

In honesty, we got that answer a lot. There’s probably two dozen or more responses that say some combination of “kills people” or “serial killer”. This was far and away the favorite answer. Computers and video games also factored heavily.

“Stand-Up Comedian” was another popular one, although about half of them did specify that he is definitely a bad stand-up.
and “former child actor” is an amazing answer.

Could go either way. You know.
Other answers from my office poll: 1. Auto mechanic (2 people said this in separate offices) 2. Drinks wine & passes out 3. Ebola Czar

The first answer I got was “Sells cars.” I think Ebola Czar is the perfect answer.
