The Job I Was Meant To Have

If only I lived closer to Miami.

The Florida Marlins are looking for some footloose fat men. The National League team is creating an all-male, plus-size cheerleading squad to be dubbed the Manatees.

[...]

The team hopes to recruit seven to 10 tubby men to dance, cheer and jiggle during Friday and Saturday home games this season.

Real manatees, 1,200-pound mammals sometimes referred to as “sea cows,” are not considered the most agile of creatures and often get caught in boat propellers.

The Marlins want their Manatees to have the same dimensions, but to be decidedly more agile. Men will be judged on how well they dance a choreographed routine.

Damn, I was so close until they threw in that dancing part. I guess I’ll lay on the couch and watch some more dancing with the stars.

links from TechnoratiIn Wyatt’s comments for this week’s “weigh day,” Jim frombRight & Earlyposted a link to his blog that discussed the Florida Marlins looking for some girthy guys to dance at their games. I found video of the auditions! I wonder if these guys just did it to stand behind the skinny chick?
