Easy one. I'd rather sing The Star-Spangled Banner at the Superbowl. My rendition would not be stylish, but I can hit the notes. (Me wearing a G-string on a New Years Day parade float would not be a pretty sight, and a photo could be used for blackmail purposes laugh.gif whistling.gif )

It's time to lighten this up a little--there are some pretty grim choices that have been posed.

Would you rather:

Take your teenage children to Walt Disneyworld

-or-

Take your children under age 10 to Yellowstone Park

for one solid week??? hmmm.gif

Because I live so close to Disneyland, and I have been
there more times than I'd like to remember, I will choose
Yellowstone Park (I've actually been there, and it's quite
nice)....


Would you rather:

Legally change your name to "Wiley Coyote"


or


Legally change your name to "Captain Feathersword"
Victoria Silverwolf
I like "Captain Feathersword!" thumbsup.gif Easy choice for me.

Would you rather

Be the pastor of a small country church (of the denomination of your choice)

or

Be the CEO of a large hospital?
Curmudgeon
Be the pastor of a small country church. (of the denomination of my choice)

On one side of my family, my grandfather was a circuit riding minister. (He died long before I was born.) Religion was often discussed in our home. There was a strange conversation with our pastor when I looked into this in my teens, and I decided against it at the time. Since then, I have been down several religious paths. "The denomination of my choice" would be a critical factor in making this decision.

I never had the type of memory or artistic skills that would have allowed me to pursue medicine as a career.

Would you rather:

Run for President of the United States?

or

Be the campaign strategist who is running someone else's campaign for President of the United States?

I guess I would choose to be the campaign strategist who
is running someone else's campaign. I have no desire to be a
household face or name. But, it would be an interesting experience
to have some part in the whole process.


Would you rather?


Go back in time and meet Martin Luther King, Jr.


or


Go back in time and meet John F. Kennedy

Kennedy. I admire both, but I admire king to much to want to meet him. What King stood for was more important than the man himself.

Would you rather:

Be able to fly?

or

Be able to breathe underwater?
IndigoFlavours
Be able to breathe underwater, definitely.... I have a fear of drowning, even though I'm a really strong swimmer! Not being able to breathe.... ugh.

Would you rather....

Lose your sense of smell

or

Lose your sense of taste?

Much rather lose my sense of taste. I have the hardest time eating healthy foods because they taste horrible. Maybe if I could smell some filet mignon and eat some tofu sprouts, my body would be fooled into thinking I really WAS eating steak.


Would you rather

get eaten alive by a venomous snake?


or


fall (alive) to your death from great heights?

That is a very tough decision. I have a tremendous fear or heights,
yet I think I would choose falling to my death from great heights,
as opposed to being eaten alive by a venemous snake. ermm.gif

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

Would you rather:



Be a contestant on the game show Jeopardy (all your family
and friends will be watching), and you cannot answer one question.



OR



Have a terrible stomach flu that lasts two long weeks, and the
whole time you feel extremely ill.
Victoria Silverwolf
It would be uncomfortable to be so humiliated on the game show that way*, but I would rather go through that than such a horrible illness.


*see "I Lost on Jeopardy," "Weird Al" Yankovic.



Would you rather:

Be a great chef, creating some of the world's finest meals

or

Be a great vinter, creating some of the world's finest wines?

I would definitely prefer to be a great chef who can create
some of the world's finest meals. I would simply love to be
able to make all kinds of delicious entrees.


Would you rather:

Be a man who makes a living as a door-to-door
Mary Kay Cosmetics seller
wub.gif


Or


Be a woman who makes a living as driver of a
garbage truck
cool.gif
Paladin Elspeth
I would rather be a man selling Mary Kay cosmetics door-to-door vs. being the female driver of a garbage truck. The garbage our household generates is gross; I can hardly imagine having to deal at all with other peoples' garbage ermm.gif, and hey, as a male I might actually be listened to for what I thought makes a woman attractive--that means $$$$ and more attractive-looking women! kiss.gif wub.gif

Would you rather fly a metal-frame kite with a key on the string (ala Ben Franklin) on stormy nights or wrestle alligators?? tongue.gif
Victoria Silverwolf
Both sound pretty dangerous. I'll have to go with the kite. At least that way I am only risking my own neck; I won't be harming an animal.

Would you rather

Have bright red eyes

or

have bright green skin?
pheeler
Red eyes.

The green skin would be a much more serious blow to my sex life, at least I could get some really hot goth chicks with red eyes.

In a break-up, would you rather:

Be told the other person wants to join the clergy

or

Be told the other person is gay


(courtesy of the life experience of B.S.G.)
PatriotSpoon19
I think I'd rather the person told me they were gay. At least I'd know she wasn't leaving me for a man. thumbsup.gif

So here we go.

Would you rather:

Get an alien bursting out of your chest

or

Have the father of your child be GW?

Those are two very painful propositions. I guess I will
have to choose the lesser of two great evils. I'll go
with George W. Bush being the father of my child. I usually
have a rule that the man has to have an average or better
I.Q. I guess I'll have to lower my standards to save myself
from having an alien burst out of my chest. w00t.gif


Would you rather:


Be a stay-at-home mom/dad (with a mellow but happy home life)


or


Be a war correspondent (always in harm's way, but getting the story)
pheeler
I'd rather be a stay-at-home dad. Raising children would be enough excitement for me I think, plus I'm a bit of a homebody anyway. Plus, I'd feel my job was more rewarding than if I were on the other side of the world documenting brutality.


Would you rather:

Live in a world ruled by ants (with a similar social structure)

or

Live in a world ruled by hyenas (backstabbing scavengers)

I think I'd go with the hyenas. At least you'd have free will, ants do what their told and thats it.

EDITED OUT BY JAIME. NEW QUESTION TO BE POSTED SOON.

Jaime
mindmesh - let's keep this PG please. We have many young posters and your question is not appropriate for our audience. Please chose a better question.
perspective
Here's the new question: (borrowed from MSN):

Would you rather have your eyes glued shut for a day?

or

your butt glued shut for a day?
PatriotSpoon19
QUOTE

I think I'd go with the latter. Not being able to see for a day would be far worse than not going to the bathroom for a day.

NEXT:

Would you rather....

share a bed with Joe Lieberman

or

share a bed with John McCain?
Jaime
CLOSED. I have already asked that people keep this out of the realm of adult conversation, but alas...

Sorry, folks. This game was REALLY fun. Too bad some can't remember this isn't an 18 & older forum. down.gif
