Some years back, Sports Illustrated's annual swimsuit issue ran a spread with models wearing only body paint. In years since, it's become a regular feature. And of course, someone has to actually apply the paint.

You ever wonder how exactly somebody nets that assignment? :lol:

What are some other jobs you look at and ask that same question?

What are your theories - real or fanciful - on the process?

not quite answering your question, but I read an article about a guy who pretended to be gay and got a spot on the cleaning crew of the SI body painting thing. He just swept floors, etc. The girls and the staff were suspicious of everyone (well, every guy) working there. He said if he looked around for even a second the models would instantly look over with laser beam eyes and he'd have to either look back down quickly and keep sweeping or say something innocent (or flamboyant lol). It was very difficult to stay in there and keep his eyes elsewhere. I'd take that challenge tho :D

In my experience success equates to several things.

Right place / Right time

Grabbing an opportunity when it is there.

and most of all

Hard work and Dedication

When all three things line up you can be the guy with "That job"

How do you demonstrate hard work and dedication to body painting models?

So... they're getting naked to get painted, to get photographed, to get placed in a magazine for millions of guys to drool at, but they're suspicious of guys on set.

One from the flip side...

When Michael Jackson was on trial, the prosecution asked to have his underrwear tested for...um...yeah.

So there was a guy - low level staffer, probably - who was assigned to go through Jackson's underwear drawer looking for 'trace evidence'.

What he brought back was given to another guy whose job it was to test it, extensively.

Next time you think your job sucks... :unsure:

      Considering you previously struggled to understand BTT despite it being explained in a video, write-up, and multiple replies, I get why this might be a little too complex for you. Happy to clarify again! Just let me know which part tripped you up this time. 😉

      a look at our 19 udfas

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      And, honestly, there's only so much you can attempt to do in the draft. And every draft pick is a roll of the dice. But that's where grabbing a ton of UDFAs, and targeting the best, makes a big difference. Sure, their individual chances of getting a hit here is less, but that shotgun pattern might just hit something.  Right now, we need bulk, partly to rebuild and partly to dilute the deep level of stank that has developed on this team in the last six years. If we're going to rebuild a culture built around culture, accountability and winning, then these UDFAs we bring in each season have to be the wash water that gets out that leftover dirt.  Canales seems to be a smart, culture-first, build up the good ones kind of guy. I like that and I hope he can keep it going here. But he was working against a locker room that had been taught to lose and taught to distrust or ignore coaches. He's got his work cut out for him, still. He does seem to have it moving in the right direction and that's something I was pretty amazed with by the end of last season.

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      The most telling sign, IMO, of a team on the upward swing is who we lost in the off-season. Who left that even saw the field? Woods, Clowney, Sanders, & Hekker. OK...no big deal. Clowney is the only 1 that I raised an eyebrow over and I get that it was a money decision. No need to pay him over $7M to take snaps from our draft picks when he was just OK last year.
