OK, sent some PMs to Riverman with a lot of links. We can wait until AM or he can pick / writeup in my absence. Up to him.

Ha, no clue, there's a lot of choices but nothing seems like an obvious pick to me. Kind of hoping he'll pick in my absence so he gets all the ****.

fwiw you have a thread that I consider to be solid mid-round talent.

Would you like to make a MILLION dollars for a few minutes of work each day?

Was looking for a job in the paper back in the mid 90's when I got laid off, saw a wanted ad for a job that was easy money and short hours, and well, long story short, I've been running boiling oats around in New City for about 9 years.

I'll tell you this. The first couple of months are pretty brutal. Until you figure out how to get a solid grip on the boiling oat bucket, you're going to burn yourself, a lot. And they don't tell you this up front, but you can't wear any protective gear on your hands or arms either. And whoever suggested that wagon thing, yeah, you'd think that would be a good idea, but this guy Bruce tried that one and the supervisors tasered him in the balls. No joke. They try to tell you the supervisors will cut you some slack, but that's just a bait and switch. If you slow down because you burned yourself, or you step more than 2 feet off the line, you're not going home without at least 2 or 3 lashes. And one day, well, I got a pretty bad cramp and slowed down for a few steps. Let's just say, having one of the supervisors knock you down from behind onto a hot bucket of boiling oats is not so great for your skin.

And forget about ever showing up drunk or wearing socks. My buddy Joey did that once. Great guy, he'd put in over 19 years of stellar boiling oat running and was one of the top points-leaders for making supervisor. His dog died one night and he went out and got wasted. He showed up pretty drunk around 4:30, and the supervisors caught on pretty quick. He couldn't keep up with me that day on the oat run, and all I know is that I heard a loud crashing sound from behind me after about half a mile. His funeral was a few days later. I still miss him.

But look, there's a lot of positives. I mean, I'm done working for the day almost every day by 4:45 AM, which leaves me time to go to the doctors for my daily skin grafts and physical therapy from all the third degree burns. And you can definitely play poker afterwards, like Assani suggested, but you'll probably need to get some voice recognition software since your hands might not work so good.

But hey, it's a great job. I'm always looking to get some more people recruited too, so I can make supervisor in 12 years.

Best of luck, Assani. Hope to see you out on the oat run soon!

Yea fgators would have been my pick had I woken up in time. His insistence that he ran horrible even after that graph was posted was awesome.

I'm partial to comedy and therefore think the superuser picks are mega spew. But can see why others see it differently.

Cool draft. Looking forward to railing.

maybe fgators was just the world's worst non-showdown player?

boiling oats thread just doesn't hold up to the test of time imo.

then again, I lost all interest in the 'Chilly' phenomenon before even started so I obv have WOATish taste in comedy.

Boiling oats is one of about five old threads I still go back to read from time to time. Great pick

Boiling Oats simply a classic. I have fond memories trying to explain the Boiling Oat Runner to my friends and getting nothing but blank stares and bewilderment. Ah!
