Name That Smooth Operator 1
This Smooth Operator can tell you a whole lot about geysers, volcanoes, hot springs, and bears! They worked as a helicopter tour guide during college in theValley of Geysers. They cited the experience as a great way to practice their English and interpretation skills. I’d suggest bundling up, though, the average high temperature in the Valley of Geysers during November is only 32 degrees, with winds averaging at about 10mph.
Diana
This Smooth Operator is the life of the party! They recalled specifically a vacation to Jamaica. After a few too many rum punches, they led a bus full of travelers in a rendition of Bobby McFerrin’s “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” on the wayback to the cruise ship.
Eunice
This Smooth Operator is a certified makeup artist! When they were a child, they loved getting to wear makeup on Halloween, and watched YouTube tutorials to learn more about makeup application. By the time middle school rolled around, they were doing other people’s makeup in the bathroom before first hour. In their twenties, they became a certified MUA, and worked in that industry for a while before deciding that the industry was too competitive.
Kennedy
This Smooth Operator is a massive Trekkie. They love Star Trek because of its “boundless optimism” and cite The Next Generation as their favorite series.
Appropriately, Data is their favorite character. Enterprise comes in as their least favorite series because Captain Archer aggravates them.
Alain
Who's signature emoji is the banana dance?
Breezy
This Smooth Operator used to be involved in politics, and served two terms
as class president in high school. Although they didn’t have any elaborate campaign messaging or specific goals for their presidency, this operator raised a great deal of money for their school. When asked what their presidential leadership style was, they responded “respectful, delegative, and open”.
Chris
This Smooth Operator has a voice of gold! They started singing at karaoke, but eventually took singing lessons. Now, you can catch them singing salsa with a few different groups on their nights off. They cherish this experience, and think of it was a way to take care of things with positive vibes.
Carlos
This Smooth Operator has been to over 200 beaches. Their favorite was a beach in Aruba, where they shared the sand with flamingos that were chillin’ on the beach. Their least favorite is Fryes Beach in Antigua, due to the menagerie of jellyfish.
Mercedes
This Smooth Operator is a talented violinist. They played the violin for 7 years, but eventually stopped playing due to soccer team conflicts. One memorable performance they had was playing Ode to Joy by Beethoven at the Hollywood Bowl, with Gustavo Dudamel as the conductor.
Breezy
Who's signature emoji is a coffin?
Alain
This Smooth Operator is a jetsetter! Their favorite place they’ve been to was
Jamaica, but there’s one destination that tops their travel bucket list. That destination is Thailand. This operator hopes to go see this Southeast Asian country, and feast on some pad thai while learning about the country’s rich heritage. (But we can’t forget that they hope to do a Euro-tour sometime soon, too).
Tanner
This Smooth Operator collects socks. This person has two full drawers of socks and is about to start a 3rd drawer. They try to buy a pair of socks from everywhere they go.
Jem
DAILY DOUBLE
You can find this Smooth Operator at Dover Speedway in Delaware making race car noises and being salty about it.
Jem
This Smooth Operator has lived around the world. They were born in New York, grew up in Puerto Rico, have lived in Spain, Portugal, and Africa, then moved to Miami before settling in the town where they have made their permanent home. This Operator also gives back to their community through a ministry at their church that feeds people experiencing homelessness and the less fortunate.
Jennifer
Who's signature emoji is "Meow Party"?
Merry
This Smooth Operator has a unique love story. They were 4th grade sweethearts with their partner of 12 years. When they were 9, they were schoolyard sweethearts. When this Smooth Operator moved away from that town, they exchanged letters for a few years, but eventually reconnected as adults, and now have been partners for over a decade.
Ian
This Smooth Operator interned at Disneyland in park operations in college. When they weren’t attending leadership classes with Disney executives, their job was being “Mickey’s Housekeeper”. A highlight from their time at Disneyland was “Stalking John Stamos and getting into the park for free.”
Stephanie
This Smooth Operator has a need for speed! They own and ride speed bikes (motorcycles, not bicycles), and have since they were 22 years old, although they have not been hitting the open road very much lately.
Barb
This Smooth Operator has an elephant’s memory for late 90s to mid-2000s cartoons. If they’ve seen it, they can tell you in detail about it. Ask them about Mirmo se va, which they described as “a rip-off of Hamtaro”, but with fairies. (They watched Mirmo se va at the age of 11).
Andrea
Who's signature emoji it the sparkly TY heart?
Eunice
This Smooth Operator had a traumatic bungee jumping experience. They won a contest that allowed them to go bungee jumping for free, and since the other winner was cute, this person did it to impress their jump buddy. Alas, our operator ate lunch before the jump, and barfed mid-air on their jump buddy. There was no offer for a date as hoped. They have not bungee jumped since.
Jennel
This Smooth Operator is a massive music fan, and they’ve seen the band 311 in concert 76 times. They also have over 300 concert posters. Not all of those posters are from shows they’ve seen, but they make a killing flipping concert posters. The most expensive poster in their collection is worth $800, and it’s a Widespread Panic at Madison Square Garden poster from 2013.
Jarrett
This Smooth Operator is an artist! Before studying business in college, their major was Graphic Design and Jewelry/ Metals. In their spare time, they like to sketch with pencil and charcoal, specifically recreating portraits that they like. But you won’t see their work in a gallery, or in their house because they say “that is for other artists”.
Jeff
This Smooth Operator has a musical background. They played piano, french horn, harmonica, and harp, as well as was classically trained in singing, but was deemed too short for upright bass in school. In college, they studied jazz theory and can recall a final exam that comprised of an 8 minute long interpretive dance utilizing traditional early 20th century jazz dance moves. The topic they choose to tackle via dance? Alien warfare.
