Chatterbox: Pudding's Place
I love love
I love love love love love love love would you rathers!
I haven't seen any around here, like ever. IT'S MISSING OUT, PEOPLE!
Here starts a new marathon, I hope!
Would you rather..
1. Not be able to lie, OR have to give up an arm and a leg?
2. Be able to fortell the future OR have all the money you'll ever need?
3. Be mechanically induced to scream at the top of your lungs for an hour OR have your eyes glued shut for a day?
4. Be a dog and eat chocolate OR laugh to death?
5. Have Miley Cyrus's voice OR her bank account?
6. Have lunch with Robert Pattinson OR Leonardo DiCaprio?
For the sake of it, and since I've never done these before, here are my answers!
1. Give up a leg
2. Have all the money I'd ever need
3. Screaming for an hour
4. Be a dog and eat chocolate
5. Her voice (Having her voice would lead to a lot of money)
6. DEFINITELY Robert Pattinson

1. Not be able to lie, OR have to give up an arm and a leg?
*stares* *twitches*
Does this include lying by omission, because if so, arm and a leg because otherwise I would alienate everyone and have NO FRIENDS
but on the other hand I need my limbs for my future career...
2. Be able to fortell the future OR have all the money you'll ever need?
Money, of course. Being able to see the future would be awful and with money, I'd be guaranteed a house and food!
3. Be mechanically induced to scream at the top of your lungs for an hour OR have your eyes glued shut for a day?
Screaming screaming definitely screaming don't. touch. my. eyes.
4. Be a dog and eat chocolate OR laugh to death?
Laugh to death. If I were a dog, I'd be bored out of my mind.
5. Have Miley Cyrus's voice OR her bank account?
Bank account. See response #2 and replace "future" with "miley cyrus's voice."
6. Have lunch with Robert Pattinson OR Leonardo DiCaprio?
Can I choose... neither (and/or substitute, say, Raul Esparza)? Robert, I guess. at least we could maybe talk about how awful Twilight is.
Captcha says "horn." Good job captcha, you finally learned how to word.

Would you rather..
1. Not be able to lie, OR have to give up an arm and a leg?
Not be able to lie.
2. Be able to fortell the future OR have all the money you'll ever need?
All the money that I'll ever need.
3. Be mechanically induced to scream at the top of your lungs for an hour OR have your eyes glued shut for a day?
Scream for an hour.
4. Be a dog and eat chocolate OR laugh to death?
Laugh to death.
5. Have Miley Cyrus's voice OR her bank account?
Duh, her bank account.
6. Have lunch with Robert Pattinson OR Leonardo DiCaprio?
I don't really care about either, so it's a toss up.
(May 8, 2013 - 9:43 pm)
1. Unfortunately, I think I would need to choose the arm and leg right now. I wish I didn't have to.
2. Foretelling the future is really bad because you know the future but you can do nothing to stop it. It's a curse. But I take that because look at number 5...
3. Screaming's not so bad.
4. I hate chocolate... So, laughter it is.
5. I hate her voice. So, off to the bank I go!
6. I don't know either of them and I hate being around strangers... Maybe Leonardo DiCaprio? I might be able to do that without smirking. I have no idea why he would want to have lunch with me, though.

@Ruby M. You don't like chocolate!
(May 9, 2013 - 7:31 am)
1. Give up a leg
2. Have all the money I'd ever need
3. Screaming for an hour
4. Be a dog and eat chocolate
5. Her bank account (I'm not much of a singer)
6. Not sure
(May 9, 2013 - 7:27 am)
1. Not be able to lie.
2. Have all the money I need.
3. Definitely screaming.
4. I don't like dogs, so laugh.
5. Honestly, neither, but I'll say the bank account.
6. I've never heard of either so I'll randomly say Leonardo DeCaprio.

Good questions--because they are not too utterly terrible to imagine.
1. I'd rather not be able to lie. Not having an arm or leg would mean no fencing, no typing--the truth ain't that hard to tell.
2. I'd like to fortell the future--than make money by being a fortune teller.
3. Oddly, I'd rather have my eyes glued shut. As long as there is plenty of glue remover when the hour is up.
4. Be a dog and eat chocolate. At least I'd die happy.
5. Neither, really. If it were Kelly Clarkson, I'd take her voice, hands down.
6. Leonardo DiCaprio...fifteen years ago, in 1997. Why else do you think I've been posting from the R.M.S. Titanic for so long?! Although, if I did meet Robert Pattinson, I'd ask him to introduce me to Kristen Stewart!

OMG TNO YOU'RE STILL HERE
..okay, done now.
Except quiz! Must do quiz.
1) Arm and a leg. Apparently Loki and I have a lot in common.
..oh well, I'd get my limbs back somehow. In Supernatural, they always find a way.
2) Hahaha money. That wasn't a hard one. (Since when does being able to tell the future ever work out well? Hello, Cassandra?)
3) Um...screaming? I don't like having stuff in my eyes.
4) Be a dog. i'd be a big dog and eat a small enough amount of chocolate that it wouldn't kill me. Laughing to death is just...creepy.
5) Bank account. I ccan't stand her voice.
6) Um. I don't really like either of them...but I guess Robert Pattinson, for Cedric Diggory's sake.

1. Not be able to lie, OR have to give up an arm and a leg? Not be able to lie
2. Be able to fortell the future OR have all the money you'll ever need? How much of the future? Because if I could predict enough, then I could make all the money I'd need easily.
3. Be mechanically induced to scream at the top of your lungs for an hour OR have your eyes glued shut for a day? Be mechanically induced to scream, definitely. The other option sounds terrifyingly painful.
4. Be a dog and eat chocolate OR laugh to death? How much chocolate would I be eating? If the amount is small enough that there's even the tiniest chance I'd live, I'd take that over certain death any day, even if I could die making Little Shop of Horrors references.
5. Have Miley Cyrus's voice OR her bank account? When you say her bank account, would that be with her permission? Because I'd much rather have her money, but I'm not going to steal from her.
6. Have lunch with Robert Pattinson OR Leonardo DiCaprio? I don't pay much attention to movie actors, so I don't know if I've even seen Leonardo DiCaprio. I've seen Robert Pattinson in Goblet of Fire, of course, but that was ages ago, and I don't remember being blown away by his performance... so what I'm trying to say is that I wouldn't be too excited to meet either, and my decision would be based entirely on who gives autographs more often, but I don't feel like Googling that for a would-you-rather question. Sorry about that.

1. Oh, have to give up an arm and a leg, definitely.
2. Duh, have all the money I'll ever need. Like immortality (and, trust me, I know about this), seeing the future looks good, but it's not.
3. That's hard. If it was "go blind" instead of "have your eyes glued shut for a day", I'd choose that.
4. Be a dog and eat chocolate. I wouldn't necessarily die.
5. Uh, bank account?
6. Robert Pattinson, since he's the only one I've seen.
(May 19, 2013 - 7:31 pm)
I'm curious: Why are you so convinced that immortality is not good?
(May 19, 2013 - 11:30 pm)
Because it is so boring. There is not enough stuff to do if you live forever. Read the book Tuck Everlasting; you'll understand.
(May 20, 2013 - 4:59 pm)
No, I've read Tuck Everlasting; I just disagree. There are plenty of things to do. For instance, to quote Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, a favorite story of mine that argues in the other direction, "Meet all the interesting people in the world, read all the good books and then write something even better, celebrate my first [grand-niece or nephew]'s tenth birthday party on the Moon, celebrate my first great-great-great [grand-niece or nephew]'s hundredth birthday party around the Rings of Saturn, learn the deepest and final rules of Nature, understand the nature of consciousness, find out why anything exists in the first place, visit other stars, discover aliens, create aliens, rendezvous with everyone for a party on the other side of the Milky Way once we've explored the whole thing, meet up with everyone else who was born on Old Earth to watch the Sun finally go out."
While I'm not sure space colonization will happen that quickly, I think it's a good sample of possible activities. "Life is not a finite list of things that you check off before you're allowed to die. It's life, you just go on living it. If I'm not doing those things it'll be because I've found something better."

1. Ahhhh.... um.... cow droppings. If I wasn't doing a favor for Ruby, then I would give up lying. But I'll become a cripple for you, Ruby!
2. Have all the money I'll ever need so I can fund a large army.
3. Screaming's not all that bad, really. Also, you didn't say I couldn't be screamng words. I could be screaming all kinds of funny things.
4. I don't like poisoned food. I don't like poisoned food. I'd much rather laugh to death.
5. Oh gosh, I would sound terrible with her voice. I'll take the bank account, thank you.
6. Ummm... Well, I don't consider ether of them to be good looking, so I suppose I must Leonardo DiCaprio so I don't accidentally make some snarky offensive Twilight comment.
