Kaili | Saturday, January 11, 2003 - 06:16 am     He's a cutie too I think. Hairline is receding a bit much though. |
Webkitty | Saturday, January 11, 2003 - 08:39 am     This guy lists his occupation as: Rocket Scientist. This just makes me giggle for some reason, don't know why... |
Webkitty | Saturday, January 11, 2003 - 09:40 am     To late to edit: Hometown: Pasadena, California Age: 24 (he must be a genius to be a Rocket Scientist at 24) I think he's cute, his hair looks just fine to me. I think I will really like this guy but I have a feeling he doesn't make it far, just a feeling. |
Hermione69 | Saturday, January 11, 2003 - 10:17 am     I'm giggling at Webkitty giggling over the "rocket scientist." I think he is a cutie, too. He has a kind face. |
Lycanthrope | Saturday, January 11, 2003 - 11:40 am     If he really is a Rocket Scientist at age 24, he's likely to be arrogant. |
Schoolmarm | Saturday, January 11, 2003 - 01:31 pm     Rocket Scientist is a glamorized term for physics-geek (ok, my "fix-it" guy actually IS a rocket scientist...plasma physics) OR it could mean that he is an intern at NASA. 24 is too young to have finished the PhD yet, so maybe he is still a student. |
Webkitty | Saturday, January 11, 2003 - 03:18 pm     Schoolmarm, You have a rocket scientist fix-it guy? Wow. |
Schoolmarm | Saturday, January 11, 2003 - 03:58 pm     Not THAT wow...in chat we call him PBH (Professor Big Head....because his large face/head looks even bigger in his big fur hat). He's a great friend, who can...really...fix just about anything. And he brews beer! This kid is too cute to be a lab rat! Can't wait for Survivor to start! |
Shortnsweet | Saturday, January 11, 2003 - 04:53 pm     I was laughing when I saw his occupation - Rocket Scientist. Then I saw where he is from - Pasadena. There are at least two big Engineering Universities near there - Cal Tech and Cal Poly Pamona. And there is a big "rocket scientist" employer near there - JPL (Jet Propulsion Labratories). He could easily have a Master's degree by 24 and be working for JPL! |
Rig | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 03:13 am     It could be that the "rocket scientist" thing is a joke. Like when someone says "you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out..." |
Jo_5329 | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 06:53 am     I peg him as being another Robb with this "rocket scientist" bunk -- |
Wiseolowl | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 08:04 am     Maybe "the rocket scientist" is his soft core screen name |
Kaili | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 08:35 am     No way, he's going to be my favorite from right now until he irritates me, or gets voted off. He looks pretty mellow to me- not Robb-ish. I kind of doubt they would put a joke for occupation (athough it would be funny if he was a complete moron)-- why not? There are some smart, motivated people. With some programs you can graduate so fast- 3 yrs for a bachelors, another 2-3 forthe masters. |
Wiseolowl | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 09:21 am     If he is really bright - a true rocket scientist - quite conceivable he finished high school by sixteen did a 4 year undergrad program in three and then a year each for a masters and doctorate |
Webkitty | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 10:20 am     The ChillOne spoiler says that a younger man with an athletic/strong build make the final 4. He seems to think it is Alex, Dave or Matthew. In my life, I have had family and friends that have had masters and doctorate degrees. And some that have never gone to college. I have found that common sense, determination, a sense of humor, and an ability to listen and empathize with others doesn't always equal higher learning, some qualties a person would need to become the Sole Survivor. Like Schoolmarm pointed out, there are other ways to list your occupation in this field. Its always an accomplishment to work hard for a degree, and something to be proud of, but I am guessing if this guy listed his occupation as rocket scientist, he is either one with a quirky and great sense of humor, or full of himself. I lean toward the sense of humor, I think if he took his degrees sooooo seriously, he would state his occupation another way. jmo |
Kaili | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 01:58 pm     Or not go on Survivor....he would stay home and invent something! |
Webkitty | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 02:03 pm     Hehehehe!! Right Kaili, I think he will turn out to be interesting. |
Lancecrossfire | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 02:30 pm     Anyone besides me think of Ken when looking at this guy's face--especially the jaw line? |
Kaili | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 03:56 pm     I did think that looking at him- a slight resemblence, It crossed my mind that I hope he isn't as...whatever...as Ken was. I didn't like Ken. He just didn't do anything for me- couldn't care less when he was booted off. |
Babyruth | Monday, January 13, 2003 - 07:04 am     He looks a little like Josh from BB1 to me. Great post, Webkitty. I'm taking his phrase as something said with a wink, too. Guess we'll find out. |
Ketchuplover | Monday, January 13, 2003 - 06:14 pm     He's the winner |
Allietex | Wednesday, January 15, 2003 - 07:33 pm     Don't be fooled by the title "rocket scientist." My son's best friend graduated from The University of Texas as an astronautical engineer and went right to work at NASA working on the space program. He did not build rockets but he could be considered a rocket scientist because he worked on projects having do with sending rockets into space. Later he went back for his master's and doctor's degrees. Don't get me wrong. He was extremely bright, but he was no genuis and he was not a geek. He was an athelete in high school and was involved in a variety of activities. This guy could have referred to himself as a rocket scientist in the same text as my son's friend. On the other hand maybe he does design or build rockets. After all would it take a rocket scientist to do that? Oops! Maybe so. |
Egbok | Friday, January 24, 2003 - 10:21 pm     Just a thought here on his occupation... He's from Pasadena CA and there are two institutions that come to my mind that he might be connected to. One is Cal Tech (a college) and the other is JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratories). So he may be a student and/or have a job at one of this places. |
Twiggyish | Tuesday, February 04, 2003 - 03:58 pm     I think he's a cutie. He looks like he's full of mischief..just my thought. He looks like a schemer. Someone who can win friends on both sides..like Brian. |
