Would You Rather?

Recently I have become obsessed with the game "Would you rather...?" This is a game that presents you with two related options and has you choose which one you prefer. I find this fascinating! It reminds me of Robert Frost's "Road Less Traveled" which is one of my favorites.

ROAD LESS TRAVELED

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth


Then took the other as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same


And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet, knowing how way leads onto way
I doubted if I should ever come back


I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence
Two roads diverged in a wood
And I took the one less traveled by
And that has made all the difference

--- Robert Frost

The human mind is amazing. Everyone sees the world completely differently, and it is how they see the world that dictates which item they choose. So basically "Would You Rather..?" gives you complete insight into another person's psyche. Haha Why do some people choose one item and others choose the opposite. When several questions are arranged in a comparison why do some people value certain items or activities over others? Ok enough trying to sound intelligent and thoughtful. Here are a few of my favorite "Would You Rather...?" questions. Feel free to answer any or all of them and receive a free personality analysis! ;O)


Would you rather have your nose located on you shoulder or your knee?
Would you rather be ugly in real life but very photogenic or beautiful in real life and not photogenic?
Would you rather have 3 arms or 3 legs?
Would you rather never be able to wear shoes or use any verb other than destroy?
Would you rather never never know love but never have your heart broken or have many broken hearts but the ability to fall in love?
Would you rather super poor but stay 25 for the rest of your life or really rich but always be extremely old?
Would you rather have any article of clothing you try on fit perfectly or have your dreams automatically downloaded onto DVDs each night?
Would you rather date a prop comedian or a compulsive air guitarist?
Would you rather eat a stick of cotton candy made entirely from belly button lint or drink a milkshake made from St. Bernard slobber?
Would you rather give up playing video games for life or give up alcohol?
Would you rather have skin 15 times bigger than it needs to be or 15 times smaller than it needs to be?
Would you rather always have a paper cut or always have an itch that never goes away?
Would you rather find a cure for cancer or world hunger?

Prepare yourself for a really long comment...

Would you rather have your nose located on you shoulder or your knee?
-Shoulder, your knee is rarely conveniently close to foods to get a good whiff, although that might make for good appetite control.

Would you rather be ugly in real life but very photogenic or beautiful in real life and not photogenic?
-beautiful in real life, you can avoid pictures. Although the other way you could have an instant career, but still not worth it to me.

Would you rather have 3 arms or 3 legs?
-3 arms, then i can get all the obnoxious ppl at the restaurant everything they need.

Would you rather never be able to wear shoes or use any verb other than destroy?
-destroy. I'm intrigued by the challenge, and I'm a wimp for foot pain.

Would you rather never never know love but never have your heart broken or have many broken hearts but the ability to fall in love?
-fall in love. It's amazing while it lasts.

Would you rather super poor but stay 25 for the rest of your life or really rich but always be extremely old?
-25 and poor. Poor is merely a state of mind, and there's so much more you can do with a 25 year old body than with a lot of money. (That wasn't meant to be dirty if it sounds it)

Would you rather have any article of clothing you try on fit perfectly or have your dreams automatically downloaded onto DVDs each night?
-Clothing, that would just be amazing. Also my dreams would be funny but disturbing.

Would you rather date a prop comedian or a compulsive air guitarist?
-prop comedian

Would you rather eat a stick of cotton candy made entirely from belly button lint or drink a milkshake made from St. Bernard slobber?
-this is disgusting. Belly button lint, it's a texture thing

Would you rather give up playing video games for life or give up alcohol?
-video games... i've already given up alcohol

Would you rather have skin 15 times bigger than it needs to be or 15 times smaller than it needs to be?
-15x bigger... i picture how uncomfortable a small shirt is and also does that mean your intestines could just pop out.. gross.

Would you rather always have a paper cut or always have an itch that never goes away?
-paper cut... they can be ignored

Would you rather find a cure for cancer or world hunger?
-cancer. World hunger is merely a result of poor distribution and governments attempting to maintain class, profits, and power in a world economy.

Thanks, i miss these.
