Contest rules
In the past it used to be what you did for a living often determined your name. For instance, if you were a cobbler then your last name might become Shoemaker, or an ironworker might become Smith. Nowadays things have turned around and there are loads of real cases where people end up doing jobs that are similar to their surname. For example, and ornithologist named Bird, or a doctor named Ward. These names are known as "aptronyms."
What would happen if we applied this effect to celebrities? Think of Oliver Stone making statues, Tom Cruise working on an ocean liner, or Margaret Thatcher fixing someone's straw roof.
The rules are thus: Show what it would be like if famous people had to work a job that related to their names.
Remember: It's not a "transform into" contest, it's a "what job/activity is your name descriptive of" contest!
Have fun, be creative!, follow the guidelines please, and be careful to avoid using cliches.
You will have 48 hours to submit so make your entry count!
