Jeff - either a mailman or owner/employee of a guitar shop

 

John - soybean farmer and owns an antique shop on the town square.

 

Glenn - runs his own small appliance repair shop. Always seems to amp up anything you bring him beyond the point that it was working before.

 

Nels - working in a big chain book store or at a movie theatre... there's always some older hip guy making just enough money to live off of. That guy is Nels. There's even a dude at the theatre here in Des Moines that looks kinda like a nerdy Nels. Maybe that's why I see it.

 

Mikael - graphic designer for a big business that really doesn't need a talented graphic designer. Spends most of the day fucking around on the internet and writing his novel after finishing any assignments in a few minutes. No one above him seems to realize how little effort he has to put into it. Constantly getting bumps in salary because managment is impressed with the amount of work he must have put in.

 

Pat - Kindergarten teacher, crazy Mr. Rogers style friendly. The moms are all in love with him. Or they just want his hair.

They all look like undercover cops to me.

 

Now you'll wonder what they're looking at while we're looking at them.

 

It's a Department of homeland security/ DEA/FBI/FCC taskforce up there! (FDA too?)

Aren't they all working at the record store with Jack Black and John Cusak?!?!? Band on the side. Waiting to make it big. I would take Jeff and John home to meet mom. I think they could both pull it off. Nothing quite like watching Jeff give $5 bucks to the guy selling suntan lotion and film on the streets of Chicago. Or John blending in to the crowd to watch the Staple Singers at the World/New World. They are all so "boy next door/ neighbor/ brother...

I love all the replies so far. I especially enjoyed the photo you labeled!

 

Jeff: The art teacher for grade schoolers who is always taking the kids outside to do wild projects that end up with the kids being covered in paint

John: My next door neighbor farmer who only owns John Deere tractors and is always seen outside working or watching the cows graze.

Glenn: A music video director for a worldwide music video channel

Pat: A clothing designer who works with Glenn to design music videos to run on the screen for the catwalk

Mikael: Owns several independent record stores that sells new, and quality used records as well as videos and books about music and bands.

Nels: A child psychologist who studies multiples and runs studies dealing with creating your own band with triplets, quads and more

Last time I got in a car crash the insurance adjuster looked exactly like Nels' twin brother Alex:

Alex Cline

 

I could picture John giving me an estimate on some driveway repairs.

 

Glenn looks like a bus boy at an all-you-can-eat restaurant. Especially when he's sweaty.

 

Michael looks like the guy who comes to your school to promote space camp.

I don't know anybody who rocks a jean jacket quite like Jeff does. Especially a jean jacket with jean pants. I know people who make fun of guys in jean jackets. As if they are 80s throwbacks. I think I would look like an idiot in a jean jacket. But for some reason it works for Jeff. Not just anybody can pull of a jean jacket anymore.

So he'd be a jean jacket saleman? (I've never heard anyone use the term "jean pants," by the way. Interesting.)

 

Nels as a porn star is freaking me out. I must cleanse my brain by suggesting that he'd probably be an excellent transvetite--you know, a real gig like in The Birdcage.

 

the husband who never gets anything done and is always listening music

 

This may be a current side job for him.

I'm gonna try to put them all in education:

 

Tweedy: Assistant Principal (the principal that gets to make jokes)

 

John: Counselor/Psychologist (speaks very softly, has good connection with the difficult kids)

 

Glenn: Elementary school art teacher (teaches kids how to make mandalas and Aztec calendars)

 

Pat: High School Social Studies Teacher (the girls flirt with him and he talks about non violent revolution)

 

Nels: Bio or Physics. Gets bricks broken on his chest and creates a human chain with a light bulb lit at one end and an electrical conductor on the other. (my highschool physics teacher did this and appeared equally zany.)

 

Mikael: Gifted and Talented program. (can't get the smart kids to understand why they have to memorize Shakespeare lines.)
