Gutter Job Descriptions...

It has come to the attention of the gutter that we need official job descriptions, preferably as completely over-inflated and comprehensive as our sense of innuendo. Any suggestions for people's new titles?

Kaz needs to be 'Canine Fecal Aesthetic Monitor and Fetishist, First Class', after the following snippets:

"what sort of jobs can one hold in the gutter?"

and

"I have seen dog turds that appela to me " (Kaz's spelling of 'appeal')

And the rest of that quote was 'more than you, PSD'.


I've decided I'm going to be the official Horrid Antipodean.

You forget the "more than you PSD", PSD. Selective amnesia I'm sure.

It was cut for reasons of space and clarity. Editorially neccessary...

So we've got by now:

Kaz - Horrid Antipodean

Jen - Apprentice Antipodean

PSD - Bodyhair Removal Consultant

What else?

I volunteer to be Founding Wallower Extraordinaire and Head Cat Exterminator, unless anyone else wants to be it.

I, furthermore, nominate Tracy to be Founding Gutter Queen. After all, she was the first one in it.

Impressive, Jen. I like the last line. 'Go if mortal lucky people exist.'

Oi! Kicking cats out of the gutter is all very well, but exterminating them is going too far. I've already told Klinsmann to leave the gutter at once.

Might not daring him to leave the gutter be more likely to succeed?

Klinsmann says he'll be the...

Oh, no, you won't, Klinsmann. I don't care what you were going to say. You're not allowed back in that gutter.
