Dirty Jobs

Anyone else watch this show on the Discovery Channel? After seeing a far share of jobs involving large amounts of human feces, I can appreciate my shit job a little more.

I'd like it better with a different host.

I beg to differ. I'm watching his "best of" episode right now and I've been laughing all night. As he was scooping up a massively overflowed toilet, he's sitting there going "I'm in the Bahamas...I'm in a nice, warm, happy place."

Classic.

Mike Rowe is also the narrator of the series "The deadliest catch" err..I think thats the name of it, the one where they spend three or four days in Alaska trying to catch King Crabs.

I think the host is a very great one for the show, but I think the idea of the show in itself is great!

i thought it was great the way that he fucked up constantly when he was doing that hot-tar roofing.

He also hosted the Worst Case Scenario TV show.

this show makes me glad i don't work in a charcoal factory.

It's always the quasi-educational reality shows that are really bittersweet. I think it's cool to learn about the jobs, but the host hams it up to no end.

I saw a semi new episode all about mosquitos and shit... And at the end there was this really cute SG looking girl that loved the pests and she even had a tat of one in her back.... anybody know what I'm talking about??


I think I'm in love with her....

Holy crap! Always nice to see an old thread of mine bumped.

but do you have an idea of which girl I'm talking about??

Weird, I had intended to post that I have a man-crush on Mike Rowe, not remembering that I had posted in this thread before. How things change in two years.

I didn't like him at first, either.

HA! Yeah, I know exactly who you're talking about. Just so you know, I'm willing to go all "Amok Time" on your ass if it comes down to it.

That show is great. My favorite episode so far was the one where he was learning how to cultivate mushrooms...apparently one important step is to spread urine on a big pile of shit... mmmmmmmmmm mushrooms

She is so cute/hot/sexy!

ok, sign me up on the bandwagon.

I must meet her

This show rocks!

It's also pretty sweet when you see your own job on this show!

I second that! I love Mike Rowe! He's awesome. Dry witty sense of humor's are good!

Dirty job....I haz one!
