The rules are simple - vote in the poll, then come back to this post and leave a comment.

Just so we don't get bored here in Ottworkville, I'd like for you to comment in this format:
I have always wanted to be a _________________, because then I could______________ .

For example - I have always wanted to be a monkey, because then I could fold clothes with my feet, and paint with my hands, while hanging in a mango tree from my prehensile tail.

You have until Thursday night at 10 pm eastern to vote and comment! The winner of the poll goes into the shop as a print, the random number generator picks two fabulous commenters to receive a print and all is right with the world.
