I Want to play a game...no not that game.

I think it would be nifty to get to know each other by playing a guessing game. Let's guess who one another would be in a horror movie by giving clues from our real life.

I already know who I would be so here are my clues:

• I go to college and my major is very important to who I would be in horror movie.
• My character usually appears in exorcism or folklore type movies
• This character usually doesn't appear as a main character, but provides key information
• I'm not a priest or nun
  

Who am I?

psychologist?

anthropologist, right?

historian?

right lestat. I am an anthropology major.

who would u be?

I'm very handy with a knife

also a cuisine conossieur

you could say hannibal lecter is a rol model for me

i'm not in medicine

a butcher haha!

I'm not very good a riddles, so I'll probably make this waaayyy to easy.

In a horror movie, I would probably be horribly killed (and most likely partially eaten) by my project in the first quarter of the movie--especially if it were a movie like "Day of the Triffids".  I wear thick, high-powered glasses, my obsessive attention to piddling details borders on insanity, and I call a type of philosopher boss.

Bonus points for anyone who can get in the ballpark regarding my specific discipline.  ;-)

i'm going to guess ... i dunno its a good riddle cuz its hard you are a nerdy scientist.. perhaps a biotechnologist lol

Lestat.. cannibal and or leather face..

Peltablo - Dr. Frankenstien?

Excellent guess.  I actually used to be a biotechnologist (a plant biotechnologist which is why I had a reference to "Day of the Triffids") until our funding went "poof" (stupid, short-sighted rice board). Now, I'm more of a silviculturist (I'm apparently trying to save the North Carolina Hemlock from extinction or some such thing).

I would have also accepted lab assistant (sadly, I'm probably more of an Igor ["brains...brains for the master"] than Dr. Frankenstein ;-)  ), researcher, or assistant researcher.  I was, ideally, angling for plant scientist, botanist, or horticulturist, but, as we say, close enough for government work.  ;-) 

I've never seen my profession in a horror movie, but I'm probably closest to the guy that they send down to see why the sewers are clogged up.  And I probably don't come back -- you see my bloody glove floating by as the opening credits start.

Plumber maybe?

so nobody have guessed yet what i do for a living, cannibal? (not yet...but i've been wondering what mexicans tastes like)

who would i be in a movie? (would be great to be the villain!)

my workshop is not as cool as leatherface's but i do have a bunch of knives, an axe and an oven, don't worry the dead things are just animals.

I sell Pumps and other industrial equipment.  The equipment's not so exciting, well except for the grinder pumps, but some of the locations, chemical plants, wastewater treatment plants, chicken and hog processing plants, rendering plants, can be fairly delightful.

I'm guessing it has to be taxidermy -- very cool if that's it.  Can you give me a killer deal (pardon the pun) on some of those eyes that you guys use? They're great.  I make props alot of the time.

Oh, I imagine the smells are lovely.

As for me, I'm a very important archetype in horror movies because I'm the guy who usually yells at the people in the monster movie and warns them about the consequences of...say...a nuclear war...or some new transplant set up.....or some new species.

As for the area of that profession, I imagine I'd probably have some crossover with something that Pumpboy experiences almost daily.

hmm...I'm thinking a chef for lestat

Yep, that's it, too lame for a horror movie?

No I think that's just right...  I can see it

A chemist maybe?

OSHA rep maybe?

An Engineer?

PS: I love the visuals but I hate the smells.  I can look at buckets of guts and pipes dripping blood, but the smell of a menhaden or chicken plant almost makes me gag.  The rendering plant  does make  me gag.  And the guys who work there love that effect on visitors -- they like to eat sloppy sandwiches and chuckle about it while you're trying to keep from puking.  good times indeed.

coroner/medical examiner?

Chemist is correct!

I mention that I have crossover with you because specifically I'm a fragrance chemist.  I attempt to make new molecules that later can be used to build perfumes and fragrances.  I imagine most times the smells I work with are a lot more pleasant than yours though.  lol

Oh, and what's a Menhaden?

It's a fish that they catch in droves and then grind up in processing plants on the bay to use for fish oil.  It goes in paints and inks, and your omega-3 pills.  In some fertilezer and also as chum for fishermen.  A summer day at a menhaden plant can be anything but refreshing.  When they have the cookers going, it's a smell you won't soon forget.

Next time we can talk about pumps that can pass solids like hog knuckles that they use down in Smithfield.

or  I think this crowd would like a discussion on the manufacturing of bologna, like what color it is before our metering pumps inject the artificial colors into it.  There's a reason so many foods have artificial colors in them -- no one would eat them with the color they have after being "processed".  We help make the texture artificial as well.  A hot dog is a bowl of brownish gray soup without colorings and solidifiers.    

Damn -- it must be dinnertime -gotta go.
