View Full Version : Would You Rather...?

I posted a few of these some years back as a game but I don't remember how we did it so I thought I'd post some new ones and see what people answer. I got the questions from the Zobmondo game so don't blame me that they are gross, disgusting, or mean.
Basically you are given two situations, choose one (as honestly as possible) and explain why if you want but it's not required.
From the category of Appearance /Embarrassment:
Would you rather have an affliction which causes you to have bowel movements on your living room floor while sleepwalking OR pee on a total stranger twice a year?

Can I pee on them more often and pass it off as the illness?

You can do that now. Getting away with it is a completely different matter.
This question is probably looked at a lot differently by women.

Look at Varaj. Always working the angles.

1. How often does this make me sleepwalk? I don't sleepwalk now, so if I go with this answer do I never shit my living room floor? What if I don't have a living room?
2. How often do I shit my living room floor? (Assuming questions from #1 are answered) Twice a year? Twice a night? It makes a difference.
3. Is the peeing on a stranger uncontrolled? Could I get it out of the way early by finding someone into water sports that is a stranger peeing on them twice and then be done for a year? If I have a medical/magical condition where I"m going to pee on someone twice a year I'd rather make a few bucks doing something I don't enjoy for someone who would enjoy it vs. freak out and tramautize some stranger who might attack me or send me to jail because peeing on someone in public is a significant criminal offense.
Just answering the question straight up I would have to pick shitting my own floor. If I pee on strangers I go to jail. Then I pee on stranger in jail and I am killed. so the question quickly becomes horrible death in jail after embarrassing trial, legal expenses, and loss of freedom or cleaning my own shit off my own floor and explaining to my poor friends why I don't have carpet in my living room any more.

Jail time is the deal maker/breaker for me. If not for that, I'd choose pee.
Lucky for me, I have hardwood floors in the living room.

Pee on a stranger then I don't need to clean it up.

Okay, new question.
From Pain/Fear/Discomfort:
Would you rather:
Have a hole punched in your septum with a hole punch -or- have a bowling ball dropped from ten feet on your shin?

Bowling ball. Can't say why, except that I don't get tears at the idea of it, even though I know the damage could be significantly worse.

Bowling ball.
Bowling ball for me as well
Freedom Canadian

Bowling ball too.
I don't know if it's because it's so close to the brain, but any pain inflicted around my nose tends to hurt WAY more than if I inflict the same thing anywhere else.
Varaj

I'll take the ice pick. Superficial damage over real damage for me.

From Food/Ingestion:
Would you rather...
For the next month, have to select all your meals from the glass case of candy at the movies -or- from an antique sandwich vending machine in the basement of the library?
I'm going to have to go with the candy counter here. I'll eventually be really sick but that's better than the constant food poisoning I would get from old sandwiches.
Freedom Canadian

Candy counter.
It resembles my real life diet anyway.
Xavier Lang
10-11-2007, 09:07 AM
I'm not sure I could survive on either, really. I would go candy over antique sandwiches though. Now if I could just order from the theater counter and get nachos, hotdogs, popcorn, etc... I would pick that.
Varaj
10-11-2007, 09:35 AM
Candy, candy, candy. The other isn't likely to actually have any food (assuming the food is that old as well)
Peeing on a stranger, hands down. I'd do it for free.
And candy. I hate it, but old sandwiches = eww.

Candy, sparse nutrition (rasins fomr the raisenettes and such) over mold every day of the week.
Bagpuss

Assuming we are talking stale rather than so old they are covered in mould I'll risk the sandwich.
I would go with the candy, better then being in the loo for hours on end
Would you rather talk geopolitics with Doc, or try to explain NP-Completeness to the Special Olympics Ping-Pong team from Uzbekistan?

Is there a "slit your own throat" option that goes with this one? :shock:

(Sorry, I've been slacking, I left my cards in the office)
Today's question:
Would you rather be stranded on an island alone - or- with someone you hate?
I think I would prefer to be with someone I hate, at least then I have someone there even if we argue the entire time. I don't know if I could stand that much alone time.
Varaj

Person I hate because then I won't feel guilty about the extra protein I get to eat.*

Yup.

Yup.

And here I was assuming there was food on the island and I'd just use my island mate as a target for pranks, torture, and food raids too keep me entertained.

Yeah but it's short lived. I don't know how long I'll be out there on that damned island and I'm thinking about the long term.

Person I hate. I don't know if I will resort to cannibalism as quickly as Varaj and Belladonna though.

I resent the word resort. I won't resort to cannibalism I will relish in cannibalism. :yummy:

Pardon me, "I" won't resort to cannibalism quickly. Hopefully I can't smell Varaj's long pork coming from a nearby island. ;)

I can keep myself entertained with the leftovers for quite a long time.

Do you blame him? I mean the elevator was stuck between floors for 8 minutes.

My vote is for alone.
Black Angel

I'm also voting for alone. I like my own company, and I'll talk to the trees and stuff. :D
Freedom Canadian

I'd rather with the person I hate. You see, I can always change my mind the next time he goes to sleep but if I start off alone, I'm stuck.

Today's question:
Would you rather as a hitchhiker, see handcuffs and a chainsaw in the backseat - or- see bloody clothing in the back seat?
I'm going to go for the cuffs and chainsaw and hope the driver is just a kinky wood crafter or ice sculptor.
Varaj
10-19-2007, 08:24 AM
If the clothes are my size I want the clothes. If not the other stuff.
Freedom Canadian
10-19-2007, 08:39 AM
Unless the amount of blood on the clothes is really outrageous, I'd pick the clothes.

Would you rather be a pathetic wanna-be OR a wasted has-been?
Xavier Lang

pathetic wanna-be. That way there is still hope I could improve in the future.
Varaj

Wasted has-been. At least I could look back on glory instead of hoping for amusement.
Better a has-been than a never-was.

I agree. Either that, or there's a chance I'd be oblivious to my own patheticness.

This. And I hope I'd have the sense to not keep trying to cash in on that status and just fucking move on.
