Do I have unlimited food? Regardless, I will opt for never being rescued. Being hunted, even for a week, doesn't sound like a good time.

Would you rather meet and speak with an alien species, or be able to talk with any terrestrial species?

Give me the good ol' terrestrials. Those aliens, coming out of their fake-looking saucers, are beginning to bore me. Anyway, what would they say if I could talk to them, "We are here to serve man?" Ackkkkk!


Would you rather sail with Columbus or fly with the Red Baron?

From what I have gathered over the years, Columbus was a tool, so let's fly Red Baron! I don't know much about him so it could be interesting to get to know what made him tick.

Would you rather be paid $1000 weekly to be 'pantsed' once a day in some random public setting, or paid $1000 weekly to randomly fart, loudly and conspicuously, in public one time per day?

Another repulsive choice! Well, I guess I'll choose being pantsed, though I don't like the idea. It's embarrassing, but I don't want to go around farting in public, either. Cheez! What rotten options you come up with!
:mad:


Would you rather do three hours of strenuous exercises every morning or eat nothing but bologna sandwiches the rest of your life?

Well, I would almost definitely live longer with the exercise and I'm not fond of bologna, so yeah, three hours every morning sounds ok.

Would you rather have all the money you've ever lost (stolen, loans not repaid, physically lost, lost in investments, etc), or ten thousand dollars worth of Powerball tickets?

Give me all the money I've lost. I've never had a smidgen of luck at lotteries.


Would you rather be known as a great pianist or a great philanthropist?

Philanthropist. I've never had much of an aptitude (or interest) in music.
Would you have to kill ten slow-moving zombies or one fast one (like 28 Days Later?)

Kill one fast moving zombie. (If for no other reason than to un-stall the thread.)

Would you rather spend a winter weekend in northern Vermont without heat, or a summer weekend in Death Valley, California without air conditioning?

Hmm. I think I'd go for the first one :LOL:

Would you rather eat meat or without meat?

With meat.

Would you rather eat salad without dressing, or salad with your least favorite dressing?

No dressing. Salad veggies are often good on their own without flavorings (Though I won't turn down a buttermilk ranch or a balsamic vinagerette)

Would you rather watch the same movie/show on tv for a year or read the same book for a year?

If I get to choose the book, then read the same book for a year?

Would you rather go to a restaurant that you like with that people you don't like, or go to to a restaurant that you don't like with people you like?

The second. My poor family, they’ll have to put up with me complaining! Hopefully I can make it funny.

Would you rather lose your memory of everything in the past or keep the past but lose your ability to make new memories?

Keep old memories, and not make new ones. (I'm 74, so ...)

Would you rather only wear sweats all of the time or only wear suits and ties all of the time.

Wear sweats, recently I seem to be living the life of a hermit (with three computers, and two TVs)

Would you rather have an excellent singing voice and perform, or write excellent songs and live out of the public eye?

I'd rather write the songs; I'm way too fond of my alone time. And to have every tom, dick, and harry all up in my business on a daily basis would annoy the sh*t out of me.

Would you rather polar bear plunge or snorkel with sharks? (Big sharks, not the little guys.)

I'd go with the shark option - at least the water would be warm and I might see a starfish before I got eaten!

Would you rather stay at The Bates Motel or The Overlook Hotel?

I'd rather stay The Bates Motel, with a weapon of course.

Would you rather be poor but rich with friends, or wealthy but poor with meaningful friendships?

Wealthy but poor with meaningful friendships; archetypical misanthropes are the backbone of many great movies. :cool:

Would you rather swim in a pool, or swim in the ocean? (Logistics aside)

Most definitely swim in the ocean.

Would you rather be happy and crazy, OR sad and sane?

I'd rather be happy and crazy. At least there are meds for mental health.

Would you rather be ignorant of the facts involving your demise, or would you rather know every detail (caveat: you can’t change the outcome).

I'd rather be ignorant of the facts involving my demise. I like surprises.

Would you rather be given a rescue kitten or a rescue puppy for your next birthday.

Part of me would rather have the kitten because cats are kind of cool in their nonchalance, but I’m allergic to them. Though dogs require much more attention than cats (I’m not saying cats don’t require attention; it’s just that dogs require more, in my humble opinion), I’d have to take the birthday rescue puppy (I’m not allergic to dogs). But then I would verbally blast the knucklehead who thought it a grand idea to give me a puppy for my birthday!

Would you rather vacation in Siberia for a year, or for one month in Antarctica?

Vacation in Siberia. I lived in Hokkaido Japan for 18 years. Hokkaido is on the eastern side of the Sea of Japan; Siberia is on the west. When I lived there, there was a ferry between Otaru City and Vladivostok, Siberia. Most years we had snow from October to April, arguably some of the best skiing in the world. (Powder, powder, powder.)

Would you rather never be allowed to return to your birth city/town/village or have to live there forever, and never leave?

Never being allowed to return would be tons easier than being stuck there.

Chocolate malt or strawberry pie for dessert?
