Having been born and raised in Iowa, I did that for four summers in a row. Yeah, it's hot, sweaty, nasty work. But for a kid with no bills, the pay was pretty good.

Four jobs you've had in your life:
I've done AOHell Tech Support, Time Warner Cable tech support/supervisor escalations, Business Office support/Medicare claims biller (also includes some customer support, and a lot of arguing with insurance companies and Medicare) for a small local hospital, and am currently working with the Department of the Interior as front line support.

Four movies you could watch over and over:
Star Wars Original Trilogy - counts as one choice
Lord of the Rings: Extended Editions - also counts as one choice
Ghostbusters
Anything Pixar has done.

Four places you've lived:
Laramie, WY
Riverton, WY
Sheridan, WY

(sorry, had to make sure I covered everything)

Four places you've been on vacation:
San Diego, CA
Portland, OR

Midland, TX

Four websites you visit daily:
http://www.drudgereport.com/
http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/
http://www.denverpost.com/broncos
http://www.dslreports.com/

Four of your favorite foods:
Rice (just about any kind)
Steak (just about any kind)
Chicken (just about any kind)
Other things that don't have gross fruits or vegetables (just about anything that I'm not allergic to qualifies, and therefore just about nothing qualifies. At least if it is raw/unprocessed)

Four places you'd rather be:
Home
Touring the galaxy in my own ship
Mile High stadium during a Broncos home game, especially during the playoffs
Somewhere where there isn't a lot of people, and if there is a lot of people, then it needs to be somewhere that I'm having a damn good time anyway.

Four albums you can't live without:
I'm going to fail this question. I don't ever listen to any albums, except a Rockapella one that I bought once. My stuff is borrowed, ripped, pirated, or otherwise questionably acquired (I don't feel the least bit guilty), none of it is really related to each other, and none of it really goes on an album.

Albums that I've purchased in the last 10 years would probably be:

Rockapella: Live!
m-pact - 2
m-pact - Its All About Harmony
m-pact - The Carol Commission
Various Mannheim Steamroller Christmas albums
Weird Al - Running with Scissors.

Music I listen to most would be various a capella stuff, various '80s and early '90s pop, Weird Al, and various soundtracks.

Well, yes, I am aware of those movies. :D

Most young men in Minnesota/Iowa/Nebraska probably do some detasseling for at least one summer I'd bet. I think I made something like $4 per hour and thought I was rich. I'm pretty sure i spent most of it on Intellivison games! :D
