This is Scott, my mail man. He's 38 years old and has been playing the drums since he was 10. He started his metal band We're All Gonna Die about 10 years ago with his brother, but due to let's say "artistic differences," he split with them and recently started a new band (that does not have a name yet). After delivering the mail for a few hours, Scott likes to go home to his 2 year old boxer puppy named Lily, three cats, and pet python Lou (for Lucifer), who is about 5 feet long. Before Scott was a mail man, he was an electrician and truck driver, though both jobs were not to his liking. Scott has 9 tattoos. He likes PBR beer. He loves fishing. He loves his job. He loves animals.
Scott has had the cops called on him 3 times while delivering mail because of his appearance, i.e. people thinking he's stealing their mail because he tends to never wear his uniform. "I don't think I've worn my uniform since my first day," he said. To most people, including coworkers, he is known as the Metal Mail Man because of his tattoos, piercings, and all-around style (he used to have jet-black hair down to his back but recently cut it off).
Scott has delivered female sex toys.
This is my mail man.

Bad ass. Not only that you got the diggs on your mailman but that you mangaged to make the founder of a death metal band appear downright gleeful. I've always suspected that those death metal types have really the biggest care bare hearts of all. A guy I worked with, Phil, a carpenter for ReConstructions in MA is also in a death metal band. He still has red hair down to his waist and a solid lip barbell piercing. He is also a vegan, wears an ipod speaker around his neck so he can listen to death metal on site while everyone else listens to CCW, and is one of the nicest carpenters I've ever met. Show me the guy who loves John Legend and I'll guarantee you he's a jerkoff.
