would you rather?
 

this is a little game.

i'll start by asking a "would you rather" question. you must choose one of the answers. then you must ask one of your own.

here goes:

would you rather:

step on a nail ( having it come out the top )

or

have your thumbnails pulled out with pliers?

Step on a nail! Anybody has seen the film with Kevin Bacon (Hypnosis or something like that)? You see a fingernail breaking completly away. That was horrible!

I lost a big toenail once. I was moving a heavy leather and steel footrest, and its foot caught my toenail and ripped it 3/4 of the way off. It was the middle of the night, so I put ice on it and went to bed. I went to the doctor in the morning, but all they did was bandage it and tell me to wait for it to come back.

you guys are not playing the game right!

whatever......

you wanna talk toenails?

i was listening to some radio show where the dj's had people calling in with horror stories from their youth:

this guy calls and says, he was in "trouble" with his mom, but it was a half joking thing and she was chasing him around the house. She chased him upstairs, and he ran into his room and closed the door. before he could lock it, his mom burst in the door. he had been standing just inside the door, and when the door flew open, the bottom edge caught and removed all of his toenails. :eek: when i heard that, my nuts retreated into my body cavity.

Let's see if everyone can get the rules wrong in this game. I'm going another route: Of thumbnails or ten-penny nails, I don't know which one I'd rather, but how about these choices:

A) Tons of money for the rest of your life, but with serious illnesses at least once a decade

or

B) Healthy till you keel over dead, but dirt poor the whole time

B) healthy and poor.

Would you rather marry
a) a rich shallow celebrity

or

b) a poor, smelly, fat, lazy, mean, foul-mouthed person?

I am trying to think of another "would you rather" but my brain no worky right now.

When I was younger I lost both my big toenails within a week of each other. The first one I lost when I fell into a ditch. It was at night and I didn't fall real hard but about 15 min. later it was still throbbing so I figured I better see how bad it was. Went into the bathroom and took off my shoe to find a very blood soaked sock and a nail that was no longer attached to the toe.
A week later a cousin dropped a 25# lamp base on the other foot. The big toenail turned a nice shade of black and fell off the next day.
The worst part was, my best friend kept stepping on my toes for like 3 weeks after that.

So LJ I am still thinking of another would you rather and will post as soon as I have something good.

the celebrity.

would you rather:

cut your own arm off at the elbow with your pocket knife

or

be completely dunked in boiling oil for 2 seconds?

Nobody understands the rules! Nobody pays attention!

I would rather cut my own arm off, but since I can't conceive of any situation where I'd have the balls to do it, so I'd have to go with the boiling oil.

Would you rather

A: Die before your spouse or significant other.

or

B: Outlive your spouse or significant other.

I would rather my spouse die before me. I am very strong emotionally and tend to attract people who go crazy when i leave them. so its probably best that i go last.

would you rather:

a) Have a great job you love doing, but earn little money

or

b) hate your job, but be making great money

Hrm..I'd have to say a). (Is there room for a promotion?) ;)

Would you rather:

Die an instant death

or

Die a slow, but not necessarily painful death?

slow.

Would you rather:

Go the rest of your lifetime with no orgasms but daily intimacy

or

Go the rest of your lifetime with no intimacy but daily orgasms?

oh, god. that's too hard.

i'd have to say i'd want intimacy. but then, the highlight of my day would be when i sneeze really hard, or something.


rather:

argue constitutional study with radar

or

argue logic/emotion with tw?

arguing constitution with radar wins by the slightest of margins.



Would you rather (if you are male):

have an eleven inch penis but also c-cup man-boobs

or

a half inch penis but also a *very* agile tongue


If you are a woman, would you rather:

fart a large green cloud of odorless smoke when you orgasm

or

have three breasts, one being on the center of your back

Large green cloud. Ain't nobody seein' it but someone who's seen worse already. I mean, come on, it's odorless! No contest.

Would you rather

A.) fully care for an elderly invalid

or

B.) fully care for a young mentally disabled person

Care for the elderly, since I just did it a year ago for my late grandmother.

Would you rather:

1) Forever pursue a love interest that you can never have, or

2) Be forever pursued by a person that you will never love?

2. 1 is miserable!

Would you rather:

A] Be rich your whole life

or

B] Be famous your whole life, with the understanding that fame *could* bring you riches but some famous people are poor

That one is too easy, rich my whole life because if I was I'd just buy a REALLY NICE shack up in the mountains anyway.

Would you granted one wish by the perv genie....

1. Experience an orgasm like a member of the opposite sex.

2. Have a wild orgy w/out your wife/husband/SO ever knowing about it

experience whats its like for the opposite sex. but they say its way better for us girls anyway

would you rather:

1) marry some one you are soul mates with, who makes your skin electric everytime they touch you, who you are SO IN LOVE with... but it will only last for 5 years

2) live the rest of your in a marriage that you are comfortable in, and good friends with the person, but its nothing too special.

#1, you could always find #2 after the 5 year blew up.

rather be transported through time to finish your life

1000 years into the past

or

1000 years into the future

in the past! you could leave secret messages and buried notes (cave paintings) for your friends and family in the future!

would you rather:

girls:

a) never have a period again, but you grow a beard (female beard style).

b) have bad periods but fuzz free


boys:

a) never have to shave again, but you get a menstrual cycle

b) have hair EVERYWHERE (even eyelids) but no rags

I'll take A] but I would really like to know out of which hole the cycle will show.

Would you rather:

A] be forced to eat nothing but Krispy Kreme donuts, hot, sugary, fatty, for a month, with only milk to wash them down and you can't eat anything else no matter what the impact to your health

or

B] be forced to eat a balanced diet of liver, spinach, kiwi fruit, bone powder and tomato juice, all blended to a liquid in a blender, nothing to wash it down, in whatever combination makes good nutrition, for a month

That's easy - I have told my wife many times that if things don't work out at work that I will run down to the mall, pick up a refrigerator box and set us up under the bridge overlooking the train tracks. There are days, I think, where that actually has some appeal to it. I wouldn't spend 5 minutes with someone I couldn't stand regardless of what it cost me.

Now, would you rather....
A Be immediately imbibed with the knowledge of exactly what happens to people after they die and be free to tell anyone and everyone
-OR-
B Be immediately imbibed with the knowledge of how and when the earth would end but not be permitted to share the information or act on it.

I'll take the end of the world for $200 Alex.
Would you rather understand completely all your own motivations and problems or your neighbors?

Neighbors. I think that my motivations are something I can't really control. It would bug me to know that they were there, but I couldn't change them. Plus, I'm nosey.

Would you rather:

a) be administered an enema

or

b) get your privates waxed

Enema, please :eek3: !

Would you rather lose your sight, or your hearing?

lose my hearing. no question. you can still lead a normal life and be deaf. plus i can speak sign language. i would miss music heaps, but imaging not being able to see your loved ones, drive, walk alone etc.

would you rather, regardless of your current sex...


A) be a/ remain a female

B) be a/ remain a male.

state reason for choice.

are you saying change sexes? or not change sexes?

A. Remain male

Would you rather


A. live in a far away society where clothes are forbidden

or


B, live in another far away society where nudism is forbidden (including private nudism)


take your pick.

Forbidden nudism, because I am disgusting.


Would you rather have all the free time you wanted, but be lonely

or

Be incredibly busy all the time, but have family and a spouse and friends.

I'll take busy with friends. That's not too far from life now and lonely sucks.
edit: I'm sure glad I don't have to make most of these decisions.

Would you rather have

All sons
or
All daughters?

Lumberjim: I like this question better than the Constitutional argument with Radar...ass! :) I think the tougher the question the better.

This one is very tough. Would I rather go back in time where I could invent things, and do things that would make me almost worshipped like DaVinci so I'd be wealthy and never want for anything including a steady supply of hot and cold running women but with crappy technology, poor hygine, and all governments being run by religious institutions or would I rather go forward into the future to see what becomes of us and whether our path to destruction is complete where I could see amazing technology (assuming people are still alive) and I'd be considered almost like a Neandrethal? It's kind of like the big fish in a little pond or a little fish in the ocean question.

I suppose my curiosity would get the better of me and I'd go forward into the future.


Would you rather...

1) Be deeply depressed, worried, and full of ulcers because you know everything in the world from the begining of time including the suffering of people in all countries, the dangers happening in the world around us and the people behind them, and the date and time of your own death?

or

2) Be blissful, happy, with no worries because you're mentally retarded?

I would rather play the game as designed.

All daughters of course.

Rather drink A) Coors Light :vomit: B) Old Milwalkee :turd:

Old Milwalkee

(How did you know how to spell that? I had to look at your post to spell Milwalkee. You actually drink it, don't you?)


Would you rather:
a) Have a million dollars tax free

or

b) the ability to seduce anyone and everyone you desire

Isn't Milwaukee spelled...well, like I just spelled it?

I'm asking this in the most polite of ways, BTW. For comparison, go see how UT got corrected by Paranoid over in IOTD.

(edited to correct name of correcting person over in IOTD before I got corrected for not correcting the name of the correcting person).

Good question. I didn't bother to look it up. I started to write "Milwauki" but it looked wrong to me, so I went back to the previous post.

OK. Let me get out a dictionary.... Milwaukee.

Milwaukee. "The best beer in the world doesn't come from Milwaukee." Milwaukee.

My Engrish gets worser and worst.

i'd seduce. I could always seduce a rich hottie and get my million that way.



rather:

be buried alive

or

be eaten by pirhana?

I have a can of Old Mil in my hand as we speak, but I'm too damn lazy to tell you which one of you is right. I am however obligated to carry forth the thread (I'm big on rules), so hang on a sec.....

Oh cool, I'd rather be buried...I'd really not like to be eaten (in the non sexual sense) by anything.

Would you rather (my wife is playing):

A. be on Oprah

B. be on 60 minutes

**Gulp** - eaten by Pirhana.

I heard a radio show when I was a little kid (±6) and someone buried a guy alive and the screams were just too much - been phobic about it ever since. Not that pirhana are a walk in the park but at least it would be over soon.


Would you rather spend the night in an unguarded (no escape but no guards till morning) jail cell with...

an unapologetic, convicted child molester

-OR-

Osama bin Laden


When the sun rises, the doors will swing open and whoever can leave will be allowed to leave with no questions asked.

Mrs. Blue58 here
 

The child molestor, because he's the one that won't be interested in me.

Would you rather for your sentence:

A: stand naked for a couple hours on a busy intersection

B: spend a week in jail

i'd stand naked. I like making people laugh.

rather:

kill an innocent

or

be killed?

hmm...thats a tough question....i would probaby want to be the one killed...

I always feel bad for the ones that are in prison for no reason....

I would definately feel bad if an innocent person got killed....so yea, i would probably want to be the one killed...



Would you rather stand for 2 days straight or ride in a car for a week?

ride in a car, that way youve got air con, music and nice scenery to look at as you go. plus you can have a snooze and a wriggle if you want.

would you rather:

sit in shit (up to your neck) and drink cola for three minutes?

or

sit in cola (up to your neck) and eat shit for three minutes?

A) and I had that job once.

Would you rather

A] Throw your favorite family pet off the top of a 50-story building,

or

B] Accept $10,000,000. cash?

That one's a no-brainer....I'd take the money, of course!


Would you rather:

test rectal thermometers for a living

or

be the one who administers the rectal thermometer?

B. No question.


Would you rather

(a)Spend $500 a year for 10 years to oust a tyrannical maniac that gasses his own countrymen, ensuring a better life for them and their children

or

(b)Get an extra $500 tax break for 10 years?

edit: made it more evenly matched.

A. I don't get any taxes back regardless of how much I'm owed anyway--it all goes straight to student loan payoffs. Besides, tyrannical maniacs who gas their own people are just a bore at parties, ya know?


Would you rather:

A. streak down a sidewalk at lunch hour, for $1000

or

B. kill a giant flying cockroach with your bare finger for $100?

a) Go to a tropical destination with 4 of your closest friends (no partner) for a week?

b) Go to a tropical destination with a love interest for a week?

Tropical with 4 buddies
Would you rather
A. resurface roofs in Central Texas everyday for the month of August without pay
or
B. watch a continuous marathon screening of every episode of "Blossom" in a ladderback wood chair with no refreshments.

resurfacing roofs - probably get to hang with some friendly spunky tradesman - and get a tan!

would you rather-

if you were homeless and there was no other options would you rather -

a) steal old ladies handbags

b) Prostitute your self

id prostitute the old ladies. gotta keep that pimp hand strong.

rather:

win $1000/week for life cash money tax free

or

win $750,000 today. cash money tax free

B.) $750,000 immediately. I can invest now, but by the time I'm in my fifties, $1000 a week won't buy me a loaf of bread.

Would you rather:

A.) Be allergic to all the foods you love

or

B.) Have no taste buds at all.


Edit: because apparently I'm an idiot who can't manage more than half of a two-step process.

$1000 dollars a week. (in 15 years thats already over $750,000) plus i can keep working if i want, and invest some, or just use it as a bit of on the side money, or live off it completely.. its up to me.

Sweat is a splendid lubricant, so I'm going with A.

Drive a gorgeous sports car that breaks down frequently and which you must repair yourself

or

Drive a beater that is utterly reliable and inexpensive to operate?

beater. Reliability is the utmost important thing in a car for me.. besides i know nothing about fixing them.

ok your walking down a dark alley at 11pm in an urban neighbourhood, its a short cut home from the pub.

a young kid about 13 or 14 steps out from behind a shrub, and demands your wallett and mobile phone. he doesnt APPEAR to be armed, and you may have a chance of taking him down if you tried.. conjouring up all sorts of lawsuits. he wont leave with out a fight so would you rather:

a) give the kid your belongings and walk away

or

b) take him on, not knowing if he is armed.
