The "Would you rather..." game

I was doing a search on some of my earliest posts on the SDMB and I ran across a thread I killed--a game thread titled "Would you rather..." Ah-HA, I said to myself, perhaps now, seven years later, I can get a response to my question! Here's the rules--I post a choice of two possible scenarios. The next person chooses one or the other, gives some reason for the choice and poses another set of either/or scenarios for the next person. So, without further ado:

Would you rather have sex with someone who really repulses you and get $50K for it, or have sex with the person of your dreams, but it'll cost you $50K?

Next!

I'd rather get the $50K.

Would you rather go bald or go grey?

I'm going grey so no problem. Seeing the first pubic grey was a big deal, buit I'm over it.


Would you choose:
No more love
No more orgasms

I've never had a painful orgasm, so bye bye, love.

Rectangular cut sandwiches or triangular ones?

Triangular cut ones are easier to eat and hold.

Would you rather get punched in the stomach really, really hard or have a migraine for a full day?

Stomach punch. Doesn't impair your ability to think as much.

Would you rather kill, cook and eat a dog or a cat?

Dog.

(Chica is watching me type, so there was no choice for me here)


Would you spend a night making hot naked love with Rumsfeld or Cheyney?

Great. I would pick now to answer. Why couldn't I get the triangular sandwich question?

Urk.

Rumsfeld.

Would you rather go blind or go deaf?

Time out:

Eeeeeew.

Okay, back in play.

Blind. I love music too much.

Would you rather get your head stuck in a tuba all day, or your butt stuck in a wastebasket all day?

Deaf, I'm part deaf anyway.

Would you rather spend the rest of your life listening to Barry Manilow or Celine Dion?

Both! Are you kidding?

I love Barry Manilow. Mock me if you like, but with the collected power of Manilow, the Bee Gees, and Neil Diamond, I will bring you all to your kneeeees!

Ahem.

Play on.

Butt stuck in the wastebasket--at least I won't have to get help when I need to pee!

Would you rather have sex with an animal but nobody would ever know a thing about it or get caught on a webcam (with a live feed to your family and friends) having it off with someone not of your professedly preferred gender?

Animal sex. I could live with it, as long as I didn't hurt the animal. I don't know if I could go on if my family saw me fucking anything, man, woman, whatever.

Would you rather never be able to read a book again, or never be able to listen to music again? (no, you're neither blind nor deaf)

Joe

It would hurt like hell, but I could get by without music easier than I could get by without reading.

Would you rather eat a very large live spider or be submerged completely in a vat of maggots for as long as you can hold your breath?

It'd have to be the latter, but I'd be psychologically scarred.

Would you rather be alone at the top of Everest, or cast adrift in the Atlantic?

I guess adrift in the Atlantic--I don't handle cold well and I swim a lot better than I climb!

Would you rather fight a pissed off cat or a pissed off dog? Let's assume a competent 15-20 lb tomcat or a 75-100 lb dog.

Cat, definitely. A hundred pound dog will kill you. A 20 pound cat is pretty frickin' huge for a cat, but isn't deadly.

You either have to live on the streets for a year, but you can spend one hour per day in any one of a dozen fancy restaurants eating whatever your heart desires for free...
or you can live in a penthouse loft for free for a year, but you can only eat plain oatmeal and water. You can salt the oatmeal.

Live on the streets. It'll build character, plus I'd meet all kinds of fascinating people, who would think my daily-free-meal deal was pretty damn cool. Plus my doggy bags would win me lots of friends. (Even if I couldn't take leftovers out, I'd still take this deal, of course.)

If I lived in a penthouse loft, I would have rich friends who would look down on me for never being able to go to fancy restaurants with them.

-----------------------------------------------

Assuming a future world where you could survive (thrive, even) on nutrition and hydration pills, would you rather give up food forever or give up drinks forever?

I'd give up drinks--I don't hydrate properly anyway and I have a much smaller repertoire of drinks I like than food I like.

Would you rather be a vegetarian or exclusively carnivore, assuming no health risks either way?

I'd choose the veggies. I can't live without potato-ey goodness in my life.

Give up the internet or give up flying forever.

Oh, definitely give up flying. Not even close. I'm addicted to the Internet and I have no particular attraction to flight.

Oy, ThreadKiller, where's your either/or? :mrgreen:

Keeping this thread going...

Would you rather have your tongue cut out, or one arm cut off?

Arm cut off.

I need to speak, to taste. I can love myself with one hand.

Never see friends or never see family again?

I'm too obligated and reliant on my family, so I'd have to sacrifice my friends.

Live in the 17th century or the 1st century?

17th--I speak the language and know how to wear the clothes...

Spend a year with the most backward, primitive tribe in the Amazon rainforest or spend a month in a inner city crackhouse?

I'd live in the crackhouse for 28 days. I can choose February, can't I? Way too many skeery, deadly unencountered things in a rainforest. I'd choose the skeery things I know more about (not firsthand!) than all the unknowns of the rainforest.

Would you rather take an 11 hour flight alone with your suddenly feverish and inconsolable toddler or go over Niagra Falls in a barrel?

I'd choose the flight.

That was a tough one. Doubtless the flight would be hell. On the side of Niagara Falls was the fact that it could just about be said that it's known by now how to do it without serious injury or death, and the fact that were I successful I'd always be able to say I'd gone over the Falls in a barrel, which has to be worth a good few pints over a lifetime.

However, I'm 26 and am not ready to die. The flight may be deeply unpleasant, but it does not come with a significant risk of death.


Let's try a nice one this time...

Would you rather have an unlimited supply of whatever food you desire, or an unlimited supply of whichever sexual partners you desire?

The latter. There are less permutations of food... I think? I don't care anyway, I want the sex.

A night of unbridled passion with the person of your choice, or a dream home?

Dream home. My dream home would facilitate many nights of unbridled passion, I think.

A complete collection of all your favorite albums on cassette, or all of your favorite movies on VHS?

Favorite movies on VHS. One, I don't own most of my favorite movies in ANY format, so anything would be an improvement; two, I still know a couple people who don't own DVD players, so I could loan them movies.

Would you rather have telekinesis on donuts, or psychic control over one crow? (You can select which crow as needed, but only one at a time.)

The crow! I want a minion.

Give up air conditioning forever - work, home, car. bus
or
Give up soap forever

Oh heck crow control by a mile--I can pick up a donut with my hands but I have bajillions of crows in my neighborhood and I'd have so much fun... Stray cats will get chased, loud assholes on the bike trail or dicks who park on my lawn get massive bird shit bombs, barking dogs get their ears tweaked and I'd just miscellaneously freak people out with having my crow stare in a window at them...

Um, did I mention I'm an old Wicca woman? No? Hmmm... :mrgreen:

Crap! On edit I was beat but I'm leaving it anyway!

Fuck the A/C, I don't have it anyway, bwahahahaha!

Big phatty RV or fast, gorgeous sports car--for free! Pick one...

Levitating donuts straight into my mouth is mighty tempting, but think of the possibilities if your crow could carry a small bag? Can it carry a small bag? If so, it's the crow. No, it's the crow anyway. I'd find some way to utilise it.

Shucks. I'm leaving mine too. It was such a well reasoned response, I'd feel bad removing it.

I'd have to have the RV. Sports cars are for race tracks.

Score a winning goal, or similar sporting achievement in the biggest stadium, or be a superstar rock performer for an evening?

Rrrrock star, baby! It's so much cooler, much less chance of injury and musicians get laid by a hotter class o'bimbo!

Fly, or be invisible?

If I can turn it on and off, then invisible. If not, then flying.

Be in prison for a murder you didn't commit, or accidentally kill someone and not be held responsible?

In prison for a murder I didn't commit. I couldn't handle the guilt of killing someone.

Burned at the stake or buried alive?

Buried alive. Hopefully I'd just go asleep and never wake up, whereas the other doesn't bear thinking about.

be able to play a musical instrument or write for a living?

Play a musical instrument. I already write for a living, and believe me, it's much harder to get applause in a bar by standing on stage and writing.

And I forgot to add one of my own.

Have an incredibly fun job that pays $10,000/year, or a miserably boring job that pays $100,000/year?

Boring job. I can spend all that money on stuff that's really fun to compensate for the boring work environment, or I can save it up for a few years and then live comfortably in a lower-income job that's more interesting to me.

Inspired by the Mafia game: would you rather be strung up in the town square, or torn apart by werewolves in the middle of the night?

Werewolves. Horrible, but quick (and more dignified than being strung up)

Would you rather spend a year in Alaska or a month in Afghanistan?

A year in Alaska, it's a beautiful place.

Would you rather go to the moon or down to the wreckage of The Titanic?

The moon. Hey, you might have noticed my general love of anything plane shaped...

Would you rather be a werewolf or a vampire?

Vampire. I'm already nocturnal, a little different, and hated by many, yet charming in my own strange way. So the world of the vampire is a lot more familiar to me. :mrgreen:

Would you rather be a vampire or a vampire hunter?

Vampire. I look great in Black!


Would you rather have NO time to read - ever
Or no time for friends - ever?

Bookses are my friendses!!

Deliver the post nude for one day or 2 weeks behind the counter in McD's? Both without pay.
