Time to play another round of Name That Thing, the name game where we find something that needs both naming AND a federal investigation, and you try and name it! So put up your feet, grab a bottle of Chianti and a plate of fava beans, and puzzle over this job posting from Craigslist, in which the poster of this notice fails to divulge the name of the position to be filled. Or does s|he? Here it is in full:
Highly Motivated Creative “Tomboy” wanted ASAP

But what is the job? If you know or think you know the name of the position described above, leave a comment with the answer. Here’s a tip from the naming professionals: the key words appear to be “tomboy”, “loner type”, “survival skills” and “animals”.
If this job posting leaves you wanting to provide a tip of your own, the local FBI number for Petaluma, CA is (415) 553-7400.
