Per @Jon's suggestion, let's have a completely random "would you rather" thread. I could see this getting very convoluted, so I'm going to try to set some rules to make it easier to follow. The FIRST PERSON who replies to the most recent WYR question asks the next one--or can delegate to another poster or defer to the next respondent if so inclined. When posing a new WYR question, do so in its own post, separate from your answer to a prior question For easy reference, preface your question with "WYR #", and do it in bold, red, size level 5 font. Like this: WYR #1: Would you rather take a bath in lemon juice with paper cuts all over you, or put a toothpick under your big toe nail and kick a wall? Regardless of the most recent question asked, you are welcome to reply to any WYR question that has been posed at any point in the thread, or comment on anyone else's response. If you're responding to a WYR question, be sure to quote the original post, and explain why you chose what you chose. If it has been more than 24 hours since the last WYR question has been posed, the asking of the next question is open to anyone. No, I don't actually expect you rabble to adhere to these suggestions, but I figured it was worth a shot.
I am going to rebel against the rules and go with orange. WYR #2: Would you rather brag about your lawn mowing job or be less famous than Travis Outlaw?
Really? 4 posts in and someone's already completely disregarding all of my WYR question posting rules??
Ignoring @andalusian's loophole, I'd probably go with the lemon juice bath. Once it's done, you can shower, cover in salve, and be rid of the effects in short order. Toothpick dug in under the toenail would hurt for weeks, and probably end up infected. No thanks, I'll pass.
would you rather make out with someone with meth mouth for 5 minutes straight, or drink a cup of dip spit? (my bad)
I have no idea what a meth-mouth-makeout would even be like, but again, I think I'd go with the one that would be over with sooner. Drink the cup, hurl, and be done with it. Plus, my wife wouldn't kill me for that one.
Toothpick. You didn't say I have to kick the wall hard. I'd do the tooth pick anyway. Seems less painful than the lemon juice and papercuts
WYR#4: Would you rather be able to read peoples minds any time you choose or be able to look into the future but only for a half hour ahead of the present time.
Be less famous then Travis Outlaw. I don't have a law mowing job to brag about and I am already less famous ( if you disclude my viral youtube video about meyers leonard) then Travis Outlaw.
Look into the future. At least I could see insane things about to happen and have 30 minutes to warn people.
Thank you--now that you've answered, I can too without being on the hook for the next question. Stinkin' rules!! I think I'd take the mind-reading, just because it would make parenting a lot...well, not "easier", but more informed. If my kid's planning on completely ignoring what I'm telling him to do, or just tuning me out entirely, it'd be nice to know that. Oh, wait, changed my mind. I could make a fortune playing the ponies if I could look ahead a 1/2 hour. Then I could live a life of leisure, and not care a whit about whether my kids listen to me...
Easy one: Would you rather meet The HCP in person or slide down a 50-ft razor blade into a vat of iodine?
