Topic: The "Would You Rather...?" Game

posted 08-09-2006 01:59:35 PM
Simple premise: You ask "Would you rather...?" and present two choices. Obviously, it works better if the choices are at least somewhat comparable. The person(s) who respond have to justify their answer (and you must choose one), and then ask a question of your own.

Well, OK, it's not really a game, because beyond that, it's a free-for-all. You can answer any question or questions you want, as long as you post one of your own with each response. Also, you're all winners in my book.

Anyway, I'll start:

Would you rather sprint 200 meters with a broken shin, or do 150 sit-ups on a bare concrete floor with a broken tailbone?

You would probably either pass out or end up snapping your tibia right in half if you tried to sprint 200m on it ;p

But situps with a broken tailbone? I have had to do a lot with a severely bruised tailbone before... you just lean over to one side a little and do them on your buttcheek.

So, situps ;D

Sit ups.

Would you rather:
Bomb a small village full of people who you dont know...
or stab a friend in the face.

I have a couple friends that I'd like to stab in the face, so I'll take the second one.

Would you rather bob for apples in a county fair port-a-potty, or have one of your arms surgically removed?

Ooh, good one. Now, obviously, I've already done both, but which one would I want to do again? Probably the diet, because I can't take the time off work to be chained to bed.

Would you rather have twelve sumo wrestlers use your face as toilet paper, or have "I'M A FAGGOT" tatooed on your forehead for a year?

The semen diet. Because of the sheer amount of semen required to sustain the minimal caloric intake simply to live, I'd either die of starvation or die of fluid overdose. Its a win-win.

I would do the tattoo. When the year was up and it became time for the tattoo to be removed, it would leave an impressive scar.

Would you rather destroy your entire video game collection and systems with a sledge hammer, or be restricted to 10 minutes of playtime per day for the rest of your life?

See, I'd do the sumo thing, because you can wash that stank off. Well, maybe.

And I'd take the ten minutes per day. I never get to play my videogames any more, thanks to the ol' ball and chain.


Would you rather be able to know any single fact from any point in the future (tomorrow's lotto numbers, for example) and have it guaranteed to be true, or have the ability to go back in time and kill any one person you want without creating a grandfather paradox for yourself?

The former. I don't really hate anyone that much, and I'd rather use my magical future-telling ability as a FORCE FOR GOOD!! than otherwise, as I'm a wimp.

Would you rather: lose one of your most precious posessions, friends or family members, including the memory, so all you have when it's gone is a vague and detatched sense of loss, or have anal juice glands like a dog?

Single fact. Look ahead, to the fortunes that can be made!

Would you rather earn $150,000 p.a. where the average was $250,000, or earn $50,000 p.a. where the average is $25,000?

I'll take the $150K in a $250K slice of the planet. I just don't see myself being able to support the lifestyle that I want on $50K annually, and while being the poorest rich guy around may not be the greatest thing, it's better than being the richest poor guy.

$50,000. Anytime you earn above the average, you are considered wealthy, regardless of the actual number.

Would you rather have one year of absolute heavenly bliss, and not remember any of your wonderful year at the end, or would you rather have a lifetime of normalcy without much terrible happenings?

Normalcy without the severe bad happenings.

Would you rather live in a comic book or fantasy-type world, with all the epic scale, but also the epic threats on a regular basis (keep in mind how tired you might get of that), or would you rather have a mundane world that's safe from Galactus coming to eat the planet and Sauron trying to screw your immortal soul, where you're just another human?

This question is flawed because the 50,000 would have much great purchasing power

Middle and ring. With pointer, pinkie, and thumb, I can still claw grip, whereas the ring and middle fingers cannot get far apart. While my middle & ring fingers are stronger overall, I could shift heavy objects to my secondary hand as needed. Writing ability seems to be about the same with either combination of losses. (In either case, the best writing grip is the thumb and nearest finger, excluding the third finger.) Typing would definitely be hampered more by the index/pinkie loss than the middle/ring loss.

Would you rather feel slightly happy all the time without any variation, or experience absolute joy for one minute per day and no pleasure whatsoever at any other time?

The answer to this requires the following additional details:

Do the attachments require any existing body parts (including the brain) to be disabled or removed? Including a lobotomy with the vaginal implant could be a serious issue.

Do the attachments transmit tactile sensations, or are the purely cosmetic?

Most of these are far too theoretical. As for the last one, I'd rather feel slightly happy all day, because that's what I'm doing right now.

I'll do the mouth shitting, ass eating bit. Shit can't taste as bad as vomit, and I'm sure that you would get used to it, but the debilitation and scarring from the belt sander incident would be permanant and terrible.
