From Gir.

Immediately following there is a list of 28 different occupations. You must select at least 5 of them (feel free to select more). You may add more if you like to your list before you pass it on (after you select 5 of the items as it was passed to you). Each one begins with "If I could be..." Of the 5 you selected, you are to finish each phrase with what you would do as a member of that profession.

For example, if the selected occupation was "linguist," you might take the phrase "If I could be a linguist...I would learn Hebrew, Greek, Russian, Italian and Chinese." See how easy that is? Here's the list:

The list thus far:

* If I could be a scientist...
* If I could be a farmer...
* If I could be a musician...
* If I could be a doctor...
* If I could be a painter...
* If I could be a gardener...
* If I could be a missionary...
* If I could be a chef...
* If I could be an architect...
* If I could be a linguist...
* If I could be a psychologist...
* If I could be a librarian...
* If I could be an athlete...
* If I could be a lawyer...
* If I could be an inn-keeper...
* If I could be a professor...
* If I could be a writer...
* If I could be a llama-rider...
* If I could be a bonnie pirate...
* If I could be an astronaut...
* If I could be a world famous blogger...
* If I could be a justice on any one court in the world...
* If I could be married to any current famous political figure...
* If I could be a superhero...
* If I could be a comic book character...
* If I could be a jail guard...
* If I could be an animal...
* If I could be a hacker...

If I could be a gardner, I'd love to have acres to play with. Formal, informal, meadow, with plenty of minions to do the heavy scut work.

If I could be a chef, I'd probably lose weight. I eat less when I'm doing serious cooking for some reason.

If I could be a librarian, I'd be in heaven. To be paid to be surrounded by books and to do research all day would be wonderful. I think I'd like to be involved in the efforts to commit historical works to eformats.

If I could be a llama-rider... sorry, I don't swing that way.

If I could be an astronaut, when I wasn't in space, I'd want to be doing educational initiatives for younger kids to get them excited about science and math.

I'm not going to pass this one on to anyone specific, but if you want to take a whack at the ol' meme-pinata, feel free and link back. Your name will show up at the bottom, so there's the link-carrot to go with the pinata-stick.
