i can see an abandoned factory from my house, so i am qualified to solve the domestic socioeconomic problems caused by global free trade (though, not the corresponding problems overseas—i can't see that far and i wouldn't want to overstate my qualifications).

Thanks to Beth Ann

BAK collected these --

From Glenn Cassidy: My 70-year-old mother can see a nuclear power plant from her house, so that makes her a nuclear engineer. [Editor's note, shouldn't that make her Monty Burns?]

From Scott Watkins: My state borders an ocean, so I'm qualified to be Aquaman.

From Gail Atwater: I can read the blog, therefore I invented the internets!

From Charlene Reiss: I can see my neighbor's horses from my window, so I'm like a rhinestone cowboy.

Stephanie's Michael will like this one

Carolyn Shankle can see a busy city street from her window. Therefore, she is a city planner.

I am without the internets at home...

So I am posting these from campus. I hope you people appreciate that 10 minute walk.

Beth Ann Koelsch:

I can see a telephone pole outside of my window, so I must be the Wichita Lineman.

Becky Branting:

I see a fence out my window. Therefore, I am qualified to be a border patrol agent. Can't wait to shoot me some illegals! Yeeehaaa!

And with this one, good night. Mail more!

Pamela Mazzeo of Philadelphia can see an oil refinery from her window! Clearly she is a Texas Republican.

Even More Absurdity

If we can keep this up, we just may out-absurd the GOP!

Lee Pritchard can see people walking their dogs from her house!
Therefore, she is Cesar Milan!

More Absurdity

Justin Lester used to be able to see the ocean from the window of his old apartment, which qualifies him to be a marine biologist, naval admiral, or dolphin.

(He can now see a gay bar from his house, which qualifies him for...?)

Jessica Gulish: "I can see a gym. I'm in great shape, obviously!"

And: "Helicopters fly over our place all the time. I haven't decided if I'm going to accept the newscopter 9 pilot job or I might go with trafficcopter 980."

First Response!

We're setting the absurdity bar pretty high, right from the get-go.

Jennifer Motszko can see a tree from her house. Therefore, she is a squirrel.

In tribute to Governor Updo

You all know of the McCain/Palin campaign's claim that Palin has enough foreign policy experience to be one heartbeat away from the U.S. presidency -- due to serving less than one term as governor of a state, whence from certain points, one can see the far side of Russia.

Well, this morning Lynda Kellam made me snort coffee out my nose with this comment on her Facebook page: Lynda can see a hospital from her house! Therefore, I'm a nurse!

Which got me thinking. I can see the UNCG music building from my house! Therefore, I can conduct the Greensboro Symphony!

What-all can ya'll do?

Email me and I will post your responses...
