The RubeTube

My brother was watching Fullmetal Alchemist these past two weeks. I'd already seen the whole series over a year ago and it's easily one of the best animé series I've seen. I watched the last few episodes (and the movie) again with him and we had a blast eating Fukuda while watching together.

This morning, my brother and I somehow got into this word game (this happens fairly often, especially before sleeping) where we find words or phrases that rhyme with "alchemist" and that would go with "Fullmetal _______". Like "Fullmetal Vocabularist" (not a real word), for example. We spent a whole hour commuting to work together while playing this silly game and I do believe we've gotten most of the ones that make some kind of sense. Here are the more memorable candidates:

• Fullmetal Anarchist
• Fullmetal ArrayList (what the heck???)
• Fullmetal Arsonist
• Fullmetal Botanist (automail plants?)
  
• Fullmetal Catalyst
• Fullmetal Communist
  
• Fullmetal Con Artist
  
• Fullmetal Guitarist (rock on!)
• Fullmetal Impressionist (or Cubist or Pointillist)
• Fullmetal Masochist
  
• Fullmetal Metallurgist (or simply "Fullmetallurgist")
• Fullmetal Metaphysicist
  
• Fullmetal Methodist
  
• Fullmetal Narcissist
  
• Fullmetal Nudist (that is so gay)
• Fullmetal Optimist/Pessimist
  
• Fullmetal Pharmacist
• Fullmetal Philatelist
  
• Fullmetal Rapist (err...)
  
• Fullmetal Scientist
  

What a great way to pass the time!

Addendum: Like I said, this word game is an absolutely awesome great way to pass the time. Here's some more that I dug up on the trip home:

• Fullmetal Analyst
• Fullmetal Capitalist (nemesis of Fullmetal Communist)
  
• Fullmetal Cartoonist (Hiromu Arakawa)
  
• Fullmetal Duelist (favorite card: Brass Man)
  
• Fullmetal Economist (will boost your mining industry)
  
• Fullmetal Exorcist (begone, demons of steel!)
  
• Fullmetal Nutritionist (recommends lots of iron in your diet; see Fullmetal Pharmacist)
  
• Fullmetal Orthodontist (specialty: braces)
  
• Fullmetal Positivist
  
• Fullmetal Relativist
  
• Fullmetal Sexist (WTF does "Fullmetal Sexist" mean?)
  
• Fullmetal Shopping List (for spare automail parts)
  
• Fullmetal Terrorist/Anti-Terrorist (Counterstrike rivals)
  
• Fullmetal Thaumaturgist
  
• Fullmetal Therapist

Gotta stop. Now.
