A Game of Choice

[Cagliostro]

Definitely jump into a sanitary sewer. If by sanitary sewer, you mean like the big rain runoff tunnels in most cities. We used to play in them often, and they were fun to explore.
Now if this was a proper sewer, and that I could actually fit into it, my answer might still be the same as I'd rather not be as conscious of my breathing or need to sneeze or anything.

Would you rather be beaten to death by a stranger or someone you know?

[aTOMiC]

A stranger. I don't want my last thoughts to be of ultimate betrayal.


If you had the choice between being an airplane or being bird for one day which would you choose?

[Sorus]

I think I would rather be a bird. I might not be able to fly as far in a day as a plane could, but I wouldn't have to follow as many rules.


Root Beer or Ginger Ale?

[aTOMiC]

Always been partial to Root Beer, but not in large doses.


Making a cold call or knocking on a stranger's door?

[Cagliostro]

Probably knocking on a stranger's door, if it is a nice autumn day. I'd be expecting the rejection, and as long as there is no quota, I could do with the exercise. And the larger gap in time before speaking with the next person.

Would you rather have your spouse die a long painful death or a quick and sudden death?
And I need an address and a suitcase of unmarked bills to make either happen.

[Cord Hurn]

Quick and sudden--I have no wish to prolong suffering if there's no hope.

Ales or stouts?

[Sorus]

Generally ale - never been a huge fan of stouts, though I will make an exception for a good chocolate stout.


Make a shopping list, or browse?

[aTOMiC]

Definitely making a shopping list.
I am not comfortable spending time in a crowded grocery store one second longer than I have to. Its always been that way. All part of what the kids like to call Social Anxiety.

Would you rather watch an HBO caliber production of Lord Foul's Bane or read a brand new Chronicles of Thomas Covenant book series from SRD?

[Sorus]

I'm going to go with an HBO caliber production of Lord Foul's Bane. (Though I'd rather see them adapt the Gap books.)


Spend a week with no wifi/internet access, or a week with no indoor plumbing?

[deer of the dawn]

I'm going to go with an HBO caliber production of Lord Foul's Bane. (Though I'd rather see them adapt the Gap books.)


Spend a week with no wifi/internet access, or a week with no indoor plumbing?

Really??? All that rape, though...

A week with no wifi/internet access would be a piece of cake. As long as I had books and trees.

Flowers, or grass?

[Sorus]

There are definitely parts that would be difficult to watch. And difficult to film. If anyone could make it work, it would be HBO.

I'm going to go with flowers. As long as they're not the sort I'm allergic to.


Waking up before the alarm goes off: Get up, or wait for the alarm?

[deer of the dawn]

Might as well get up, I can never go back to sleep anyway.

SuperWhoLock, or ???

[StevieG]

I have no idea what SuperWhoLock is apart from just looking it up and finding something about a fandom thingy with supernatural, doctor who and sherlock...

I'm gonna go with ??? I guess.

White Christmas or sunburnt Christmas?

[Sorus]

White Christmas. Though it doesn't snow here, so the best I can hope for is a wet Christmas.


Be an extra on your favorite TV show, or have them use one of your ideas in the script?

[StevieG]

Be an extra - it would be fun.

Be transported to 1743 or 3105?

[Linna Heartbooger]

So difficult!
Most people would choose 3105, but if the timeline keeps goin' like usual I would be overwhelmed by the ways I would not know how to function!
1743 would involve a lot of hardships and sorrows, though. Along with - also - a lot of not knowing how to function. I would be upset with the extent to which how much physical labor I'd have to do would be ratcheted up, but... I feel like it would be more feasible to find friends who would understand me within a matter of years. :-/

So 1743.

(Okay, that's if I can't take my kids, because there was not insulin back then. If I take my kids, defs. 3105. But I am pretty sure with these arrangements, you don't get to take anyone with you.)

alright, now the hard choice where I have to figure out what choice to ask other people to make.
Oooh, this one is (I think) fun.
Mathematica, or a 3-D modeling program like someone might use for CGI?

[StevieG]

3D modelling program for me - it fits my work, but would also be a lot of fun.

Wonder woman or Catwoman?

[Cagliostro]

Wow...hard to say. If basing it off of the movie versions, Catwoman has had a bad time. And the latest Wonder Woman was fantastic, even if the movie wasn't all that great.
As for the character - I've always liked my heroes with a tinge of darkness, so I am tempted to go with Catwoman, but I find myself drawn these days to the Superman type - those that are a bit more pure and boy scouty, as I feel like we need more of that these days. Y'know, if we are fantasizing. So I guess I'm going with Woman who is a Wonder.

Buns taped together, or your kid shaving your head while you sleep? (I know...not all of you have kids, so substitute neighbor's kid or random kid)

[deer of the dawn]

Buns taped together. That would be a laugh. If I woke up bald, it would be a problem explaining to everyone for the next six months that I do not have cancer.

Random kid shaves off one eyebrow, or two?

[Sorus]

Two, I guess. I have no skills in the makeup department either way, but at least they'd match.


Be stuck in traffic for an hour, or be stuck standing in a line for an hour?
