- Comment on Spring Suspicions by Jadestonemmm yes. One of my goals for the summer: BAKE MORE. To make Joaquin jealous. Because he keeps sending me beautiful pictures of all the delicious things he eats when he's home (in Ecuador) and it's killing me and I need to get him back.Jadestone

To start us off:
WOULD YOU RATHER
Be 15 minutes late to everything, or be an hour early to everything?

Shadow Gallery | March 22, 2008 at 5:52 pm
1– Be fifteen minutes late to everything.
Aand, I can’t think of anything right now.
3.
Fortune Cell | March 22, 2008 at 6:14 pm
Fuck Dr. Frankenfurter (Rocky Horror Picture Show) or Eddie Izzard (in drag)?
4.
Lady Montague | March 22, 2008 at 6:41 pm
1 – An hour early.
Aaaaand I’m gonna have to echo Shadow Gallery here.
5.
Jadestone | March 22, 2008 at 7:29 pm
1- Hour early. I am afraid of being even the tiniest bit late for things.
3- Uhh… dunno those people… please don’t shoot me…
Swallow a scorpion (with non-deadly poison) or a hive of bees (not in the hive itself but all the bees)?
Paaaiiiinn…
6.
potatochip42 | March 22, 2008 at 7:53 pm
1- Early… with a book.
3- I really want to see RHPS, but I haven’t yet, so I can’t answer…
5- Eek. I think the scorpion.
Would you rather not be able to understand music or lose the ability to read?
7.
Fortune Cell | March 22, 2008 at 7:55 pm
5- I think one would die from all the bee stings….
well, maybe the bees if I got to drink a LOT of water at the same time. If not, then the scorpion. OM NOM NOM.
8.
glasseh (DEATH) | March 22, 2008 at 8:28 pm
6- If I couldn’t understand music would I still be able to appreciate it?
9.
potatochip42 | March 22, 2008 at 8:52 pm
8- I mean like being tone deaf… you could still understand the words. So I don’t think you could really appreciate it…
10.
Fortune Cell | March 22, 2008 at 9:39 pm
I’d rather be able to read. As much as a I love music, reading is more useful.
11.
Lady Montague | March 22, 2008 at 10:06 pm
6 – I would have to say I would rather not be able to understand music. Music gives me infinite enjoyment, but it’s not really who I am. I think without the ability to read (or understand literature, if that’s what you mean) I would go insane and kill myself from a general lack of purpose.
12.
glasseh (DEATH) | March 22, 2008 at 11:55 pm
Yeah…then I have no idea…Music is, in fact, really a part of me now… It helps when I’m sad or whatever…but if I couldn’t read I couldn’t read books, or go on iChat, or anything. x_x
13.
Pan | March 23, 2008 at 4:13 am
I would rather be an hour early.
I’m severely allergic to bees, so I guess I would have to go with the scorpion…but I also have Crohn’s Disease which inflames your digestive tract. Hmm….
I would rather not be able to understand music. This was extremely difficult, being that I am a serious pianist, etc., but reading is better.
Would you rather lose both arms or both legs?
14.
Lizzie | March 23, 2008 at 6:15 am
1 – an hour early.
3- no idea who either of those people are.
5 – scorpion, definitely, especially if it were dead.
6- I would really really hate to ever make that choice. If I lost the ability to read, would I be able to regain it?
13 – both legs. who needs to walk?
15.
Lady Montague | March 23, 2008 at 6:55 am
13 – Both legs. Without my arms I couldn’t type, feed myself, hold a book, carry things from one room to another, or get ready in the morning. My legs don’t have much purpose other than to carry me from one place to another, and moving is severely overrated.
16.
glasseh (DEATH) | March 23, 2008 at 6:57 am
13- Legs… Flute, typing, and more that I’m too lazy to mention.
And probably the bees…
Probably an hour early, preferably with my computer.
17.
Shadow Gallery | March 23, 2008 at 9:36 am
3– Zohmygod. That’s…hard…in terms of sexiness, Franky.
5– Ouch. The scorpion.
6– Not understand music, cos I can’t in the first place!
13– That’s difficult. I appreciate my limbs <.<
Lose all of your friends or solve all of the world’s problems? (Neither of which are probably going to happen…)
18.
Lady Montague | March 23, 2008 at 11:24 am
17 – I believe you need to rephrase the question. I think you mean “solve all of the world’s problems and lose all of your friends, or keep the world’s problems and keep your friends”. To that question, I would say I would rather solve all of the world problems, because my lack of friends would be one of the world’s problems and consequently I would get my friends back.
The age old question: Blind or deaf?
19.
potatochip42 | March 23, 2008 at 11:31 am
13- Legs.
14- I was thinking of both as permanent.
17- Solve all of the worlds problems… what’s bad about that? *confused*
20.
penguini | March 23, 2008 at 1:06 pm
1- an hour early. If I got a book
3- never heard of them. so, no. *social retard*
5- the scorpion. I have too much respect for bees
6- I’d rather lose music than lose reading. Though I’m with glassy on this one.
13- I’d rather lose my legs than my arms. Can I keep all my limbs? Please? I like being able to run…
17-Solve all the world’s problems. If all the problems are solved, I’ll get my friends back, right?
18- I’d rather be deaf than blind. I’d still be able to read.
You and your friend are in a room. One of you has do die for the other to get out. Would you die for your friend or would you leave your friend?
My answer- I’d die.
21.
Fortune Cell | March 23, 2008 at 1:13 pm
3- Dr. Frankenfurter…. but if they weren’t in drag, then Eddie Izzard.
20- Leave.
22.
Lizzie | March 23, 2008 at 1:14 pm
17 – world’s problems.
18 – My first impulse is to say blind, since I wouldn’t be able to stand not being able to hear music, but I could still read books in braille and stuff. However, upon thinking it over, I think deaf would be easier to live.
20 – heh, goodbye, my friend, I’m leaving you.
live in the world of Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings?
23.
Lady Montague | March 23, 2008 at 1:50 pm
20 – It depends on the friend. And, honestly, if they were going to know that I left them to die I would probably stay behind and let them live. But if there was some way that they would know they were going to die but not know that I caused it, I would definitely go that route. Okay, maybe not, I don’t know. It also depends on what kind of death it is.
22 – (response to 18) That was my first impulse as well, but I really don’t think I could stand not being able to take pictures.
(responding to question) I’m not the hugest fan of LotR, but Middle Earth is pretty danged cool.
24.
Fortune Cell | March 23, 2008 at 2:01 pm
22- Do I get to be magic in Harry Potter?
If so then hellz yeah.
25.
potatochip42 | March 23, 2008 at 2:53 pm
6- I’d probably choose to lose music, even though it’s a huge part of my life.
18- Deaf.
20- Most likely leave, but it depends on the friend, and what the friend wants.
22- Harry Potter. I’ve read The Hobbit, but not the rest of LoTR, and I didn’t really like it that much.
26.
Shadow Gallery | March 23, 2008 at 3:12 pm
*supposing you wouldn’t get your friends back
18– *sigh* Blind, I guess. Even though I love photography and lights. I could still do sound!
20– Not sure.
22- Harry Potter
27.
Pan | March 23, 2008 at 4:09 pm
Deaf, Harry Potter. I like the LOTR books better, but I would rather live in Harry Potter world.
I would also rather save all the world’s problems. No friends for me, but then the world would be free of problems and everyone else would have friends, etc. A good trade, I think.
28.
tetracontakaidigon | March 23, 2008 at 4:49 pm
6- Oh the horror. It hurts me to think of it… I couldn’t live without either. Maybe get text-to-speech software so I could still be online? I have to assume tone-deaf means no more playing music, and I can’t live without that. So, reading? But no, I can’t… I’d want to kill myself either way, I think.
13- My left arm and one leg, maybe. I couldn’t march without legs. But I couldn’t play an instrument without arms. In conclusion, I like having all my limbs.
18- Blind, but see my reply to 6- reading and music are all I use hearing and seeing for that I really care about.
22- LOTR was boring. Harry Potter had a self-inconsistent feeling at times. Can I go live in some other world? Or stay in this one? Harry Potter’s lesser of the two evils, though.
20- Of course I’d die. Nobody is that selfish. I’m not that attached to life, anyway.
29.
Fortune Cell | March 23, 2008 at 5:32 pm
28- One of you has to die. Why should it be you? How is self-preservation selfish?
30.
penguini | March 24, 2008 at 7:32 am
My rationalization is that if I leave my friend to die, I would be so emotionally torn up that I would eventually kill myself. (I could have saved them, I could have saved them, I should have saved them etc. forever.) If I save my friend then they can have a long and pointless party celebrating my short and pointless life and my brief burst of glory in saving my friend. And it’s all good. I think…
31.
glasseh (DEATH) | March 24, 2008 at 3:04 pm
But then they’d be torn up instead…
32.
Lady Montague | March 24, 2008 at 3:31 pm
31 – Oh, you have a marvelously good point. I think I would be noble and save my friend the agony of always feeling guilty about letting me die. I would walk out of the room, and accept that heavy burden for myself.
33.
glasseh (DEATH) | March 24, 2008 at 7:00 pm
Haha…I have no idea which I’d do…
34.
FrigidSymphony | March 25, 2008 at 4:11 am
Would you rather…
spend 5 minutes with Dave Chappelle
spend 5 minutes with Carlos Mencia
35.
dark duke of darkness | March 25, 2008 at 7:46 am
34-lol@swiss person making american cable tv reference.
dave chappelle. mencia bores me.
20-kill the friend. i am….. a self preservationist. when its a matter of life or death. i would probably stay int he room for quite a while though. . .
36.
FrigidSymphony | March 26, 2008 at 3:48 am
Would you rather…
Face the lead singer from Gorgoroth in a 1 on 1
or the lead singer from Amon Amarth.
Gaahl (gorgoroth): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HU2Z7Q_FAyA
Johan Hegg (amon amarth): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdwAu-N_hKs
37.
Jadestone | March 26, 2008 at 1:18 pm
Would the lead of Amon Amarth sing? Cause even though I’d probably die I love his voice…
38.
FrigidSymphony | March 26, 2008 at 2:57 pm
But is no one freaked out by Gaahl just a little bit??
39.
darkdukeofdarkness | March 26, 2008 at 7:07 pm
yeah. . .gorgoroth is scary.amon amarth’s dude would batter you with an axe, but gaahl would actually take you into the woods and stab you to death. (yes, i know that was emporer’s drummer, but you get the idea. gaahl was convicted of assault, and his one schoolmate committed suicide.) scary shit. i would take on amon amarth any day.
40.
Fortune Cell | March 28, 2008 at 5:24 pm
34- Don’t really like either of them, but Mencia is a little funnier, I guess (even if he does steal from other comedians).
WYR: have sex with a goat and have nobody know about it, or not have sex with a goat and have everybody think you did?
(from collegehumor)
41.
glasseh (DEATH) | March 28, 2008 at 5:49 pm
…I am avoiding goats for the rest of my life after that question.
42.
Mel | March 28, 2008 at 6:14 pm
40- Hahaha, the latter. It would be damn funny.
43.
Potato Chip (Kelly) | March 28, 2008 at 6:15 pm
40- Not have sex with a goat and have everybody think I did.
44.
penguini | March 30, 2008 at 10:50 am
40- Not have sex with a goat and have everybody think I did. Because one can debunk rumors.
45.
dark duke of darkness | March 30, 2008 at 2:38 pm
44-and if the rumors were undebunkable?
42-ditto.
46.
ebeth who is too lazy to sign in | March 30, 2008 at 6:46 pm
1-15 min late.
3-god that’s hard…i’d probably go with eddie.
5-meep! probably a scorpion.
6-that’s hard too, but i’d keep the reading over music.
13-both legs.
17-screw the world’s problems, i’ll keep my friends.
18-deaf i guess.
20-depends on the friend.
22-Lotr…most of the people in harry potter would really piss me off irl, and middle earth=NZ basically in my mind now.
34-dave chappelle. mencia’s not that funny, imho. but i haven’t seen as much of him.
36-the amon amarth guy. i’d still get killed, but i wouldn’t be as creeped out before i died
40-not have sex with a goat. anyone who matters knows that i wouldn’t actually have sex with a goat, and even if they thought i did they wouldn’t really care beyond being a little freaked.
would you rather publish a book that sold decently but have everybody hate it or publish a book that people love but get ripped off and make no money off it?
47.
Potato Chip (Kelly) | March 30, 2008 at 7:04 pm
46- Publish a book that people love but get ripped off and make no money off it.
There are enough bad books in the world.
48.
Fortune Cell | March 30, 2008 at 9:22 pm
46- Publish it, make no money. I SHALL STILL HAVE FAME. AHAHAHA.
Join a cult or lead a cult?
As Creed from The Office said, “well, you have more fun as a member, but you make more as a leader”
49.
muselover | April 12, 2010 at 7:52 pm
I’ll go with everyone else: lead. I wanna be the next L. Ron Hubbard!
50.
Lady Montague | March 31, 2008 at 8:30 am
48 – Lead a cult. I think even that would be pretty fun. *maniacal laughter*
51.
Shadow Gallery | March 31, 2008 at 1:55 pm
40– Not and have people think I did. I’ve definitely endured worse rumours.
46– Publish a book that people love.
48– heh, indeed.
48– Hm. Out of those, definitely lead one. But I’d much rather be a cult icon, like Linda Susan Boreman or Jeff Bridges. That’s a dream of mine, actually. (Unfortunately, this might mean pursuing an acting career, cos I don’t think that many light designers have cult followings.)

Bird of Purple | March 31, 2008 at 1:56 pm
49-Teehee, yes. Almost exactly what I was going to say. Except you’d get into more trouble if something goes wrong…
Yes, publish a good book.
Hmm, can’t think of any really good ones.
54.
darkdukeofdarkness | March 31, 2008 at 2:09 pm
51-
“I’ve definitely endured worse rumours.”
reaaaaallllllleeeyy? do tell!
heh, j/k.
but worse than screwing a goat? thats pretty bad.
55.
ebeth who is too lazy to sign in | March 31, 2008 at 3:05 pm
oh definitely lead a cult. you can get people to do anything. that would be crazy-fun
56.
Potato Chip (Kelly) | March 31, 2008 at 5:07 pm
48- Lead a cult. Muahahaha.
57.

Like Kelly says, Muahahahaha-ha!

Vixen in the Eyes of the Moon | August 1, 2008 at 11:27 am
48- Lead. No one who is a leader gets sacrificed.
