Bodybuilder, though it would be arduous. The idea of competitive eating makes me sick :e2cookie:.

Assuming you could time-travel, would you rather serve in the administration of Theodore Roosevelt or Franklin Delano Roosevelt?

As long as I could be a man .. Teddy's. He seems like the more raucous and interesting fellow (and not just because of the big stick, lol).

I just took my son to his first middle (8th grade) school dance tonight... Assuming again traveling back to this time is possible, would you rather slow dance with the most popular jock or the most popular nerd? (this can apply to girls or boys).

Most popular cheerleader.

Would you rather be captain of a ship or captain a sport team?

Captain of a sports team.

Would you rather eat a live cicada or cross the Mojave desert with a single plastic red cup full of grapefruit juice.

I'd rather eat a grapefruit.

Would you rather surf the dark Web or a tidal wave?

A tidal wave. Got curious about the Dark Web once... Curiosity lost.

Would you prefer to die rather than die? (A joke in Les Aventuriers du Survivaure. When one character says their only solution out of a problem is to die, another respond: "ça jamais, foi de Bluton. Plutôt mourir.")

I would prefer to die, while remaining alive, rather than die remaining dead.

Would you rather watch a movie on TV or go the the theater?

I’d rather see a movie in the theater.

Who do you think plays a better Joker, Jack Nicholson or Heath Ledger?

Almost impossible to answer, as both Nicholson and Ledger gave something unique to the role. However, today I'm going to say Nicholson, just because he was utterly unhinged. As the film progresses, you see his grip on reality collapsing.

Would you rather have permanent invisibility, but still have a physical presence (as in, able to move things, touch things etc), or the permanent ability to walk through anything without being able to touch or feel, while still being visible?

Permanent invisibility with physical presence for the... hum... possibilities.

Would you rather meet God or Satan?

Although Satan is, ah, tempting, I’d rather meet God.

Would you rather live in an opulent, large house with tons of rooms on sprawling rural acreage, or a mini home with 200 square feet in the heart of your favorite urban downtown?

Give me the 200-footer. The opulent country manse would require too much upkeep, and it's too far from the life I lead.

Would you rather live on nothing but fruit or nothing but ice cream?

That's easy, I'm eating peach ice cream at this very moment. Two birds, one stone? :D Forced to choose, I'd rather live on nothing but fruit.

Would you rather be champion horse rider or champion dirt bike racer?

Champion Dirt Bike Racer....that sounds like a lot more good, muddy outdoor fun with less risk of serious injury.

Would you rather have a white wine sunset bonfire on the beach or a bourbon and cigar evening by the fire at a lodge amongst the pines?

White wine sunset, but I don't drink.

Would you go kite flying or hang gliding?

Be a ghost. The idea of heaven, with people sitting around on clouds playing harps is too effing boring.

Would you rather play tennis against Naomi Osaka or chess against Magnus Carlsen?

Chess against Magnus Carlsen. I wouldn't win, but it would be interesting to see the movies.

Would you rather eat a pie with four and twenty blackbirds or eat balut?

As long as the pie is delicious I can tolerate all else.

would you rather never see your best friend again or be forced to spend time with your worst enemy for at least an hour a day every day till you die?

Forced to spend time with my worst enemy. As long as there is no violent aggression (which I would surely not initiate), I don't think it would be too many days before we became friends. (Wouldn't it be nice if international conflicts worked this way?)

Would you rather take the next flight to Wuhan, China, or "make love" in the Whisky A Go Go bathroom?

Whiskey a Go Go. I can always use a body condom.

Would you rather pose nude, as an exhibit, in a major art gallery (uninvited), or move to sinking (from rising water from global warming), mini island in the South Pacific?

I’d pose nude because there’s no such thing as dying from embarrassment.

Would you rather work for $100 an hour serving coffee to Trump’s legal team, or for $10 an hour, going door to door in your neighborhood, asking for petition signatures for senatorial term limits?

A la Timothy Leary? I’ll happily dissolve. (Trump doesn’t pay his legal bills, anyway.)

Would you rather live 200 years without any ability to write, or live a normal length life as a Nobel laureate of Literature?
