Answer the last one, then ask the next person a "would you rather" question?
To start...
Would you rather have no elbows or no knees?
-
Funnily enough I had this conversation yesterday. Definitely knees as without elbows we wouldn't be able to do half the things we can now, such as play most games, musical instruments, EAT :p ect ect.
Knees are just for walking and running, and as fun as that is, I would rather eat :p Plus we could just develop strap in segways (sp?) which could replace walking :)
Right, would you rather be living in present times, or 1000 years ago?
-
Present day. As much of a historian as I am, I'm also a fan of middle class C21st creature comforts. :P
Would you rather eat a live newborn puppy, or a large box of all your own toenail clippings from the last three years?
-
The dog. I hear the Chinese do it. :P
Would you rather swim in the Arctic Circle for 6 hours or give up computer access?
-
Definatly swim. You guys mean too much to me. :D
Would you rather die by fire or drowning?
-
I would rather drown. It would be painless and fairly quick if you didn't try and stop it whereas fire would be pretty painful I imagine...
Would you rather die a wrong atheist or wrong devout follower of religion.
-
Frankly, I'd rather not to die. Or to die as a left devout atheist. But since it's not the idea of the game, I'd choose being the wrong atheist... it's better to be relatively neutral, instead of being of the opposing side :P
Would you rather to live somewhere really cold, or somewhere really hot?
-
I live somewhere really warm, but for some ungodly reason its fething cold. Figure that one out.
Anyway, I'd prefer to live somewhere really warm. I can deal with the heat but the cold just makes me feel my age. :D
Would you rather have a cat or a dog?
-
Dog. Cause Xzibit says that ("yeah, dawg")
Would you rather play TW or M&B?
-
Lol M&B. I have to. Part of my job.
Would you rather be damned by Bunneh or loved by Satan?
-
Loved by Satan. I do not wish to get on the wrong side of the Bunneh. For He is all powerful.
Would you rather eat a raw spider or a raw scorpian?
-
A raw scorpian, because it doesn't exist :D
Would you rather me spamming the forums or a bot?
-
A bot, because it does less damage and can be more easily killed. ;D
Would you rather eat debux's cat or the stare llama?
-
Debux doesn't have a llama. As I pointed out in the other thread, it was a guanaco. Lol I'd go with the guanaco. DJ-Cat cannot be eaten. He's too awesome for that.
Would you rather eat Comrade or Debux's guanaco?
-
Debux's guanaco won't destroy my stomach from the inside so much, because unlike Comrade it can't carry and use a gun.
Would you rather have your country run by Rick Astley or Leeroy Jenkins?
-
LOL Comrade's like that song! Cows with Guns!
Um Rick Astley. For the sheer fun-factor of being able to say that, as a country, we just got rickrolled.
Would you rather be surfing on a wave or surfing on the interwebs?
-
On a wave, except that I can't surf. I do like meatspace, really.
Would you rather burn in muffin hell, or be in Portugal when it next explodes?
-
Portugal, because it seems to reassemble itself.
Would you rather give up, let down, run around, or desert someone?
-
Debux doesn't have a llama. As I pointed out in the other thread, it was a guanaco.
Dude, it's a llama!

8)
Sorry for bumping in... Comrade's question still stands.
Stupid llamas....
-
Oh man tough one... Probably let down someone, as you can redeem that action :)
Would you rather live without music or the internet?
-
Music, because I'd glitch my way through and hear music through the internets :P
Would you rather be a pizza or brownies?
-
brownies
who wants part of themselves left over to go cold and be discarded, nobody leaves a brownie unfinished
would you rather have no childhood or a never ending one?
-
I fully intend to have a never ending childhood.
Would you rather play the comic relief or the villain?
-
Comic relief. I may die, but at the very least, I'm everyone's favourite character and the good guys always win.
Would you rather be a sadistic and maniacal Hobbit or an Orc with good dental hygiene?
-
Probably the hobbit, as people arn't trying to kill you the whole time. So misunderstood... Except the orks from the Elder scrolls...
Would you rather no cats or no dogs?
-
I'd rather no dogs. Don't get me wrong, I like dogs but Satan's my little girl.
Would you rather be attacked by 2 Wolves or 1 Lion?
-
By one lino. There's a good chance he'll be lazy and just decide to take a nap with you.
Would yo prefer to watch "2 Girls 1 Cup" or "1 Guy 1 Cup"?
-
2 Girls 1 Cup. I dare not to see what "1 Guy 1 Cup" actually means.
Would you rather be eaten by an alligator or by a cannibal?
-
Cannibal, since I could ask him to make the "killing" bit quick rather than just getting nommed on a lot.
Would you rather be in Tripoli or the border regions of Somalia?
-
Border regions of Somalia as that means that its not a lot of work to get out of the country.
Would you rather be a shark or a trireme?
-
Trireme, if I'm around just now I’ve probably been lovingly preserved.
Police state or anarchy?
-
Police state, but only if I'm on the side that doesn't get any of the oppression or something :P I'm a very structured person
Would you rather have DJ-Cat or Chinese-Dry-Humping-Guy as my sig gif?
-
Definitely DJ-cat.
Would you rather be blind or deaf? Oooo original ;)
-
Deaf. I paid good money to make my eyes 20-15 ;)
Would you rather bathe in fresh blood or poo?
-
Fresh blood definatly :D
Would you rather be shot or stabbed to death?
-
Shot in the head. Painless (I am assuming) and fast :)
Would you rather a day on a beach or round a pool?
-
Pool. I don't like beaches.
Would you rather dive into lava in an invincibility cloak (ie. not dead, just really, REALLY painful) or have ants deposited in your nasal cavities?
-
That's a hard dilema, but I say I prefer the first option... Empedocles of Agrigentum (Acragas) fell into a volcano to proove he as a God. I think the invincibility cloack gives an epic dimension to the whole thing. I can succed in prooving to all of exilian I am possesor of supernatural abilities! :P
Would you rather be a talented but homeless musician or a rich but disabled buisnessman?
-
Talented but homeless musician. Any day.
Would you rather be an elf or a dwarf?
-
Dwarf, epic beards.
Moustache or beard?
-
Oh definatly beard. So I can stroke it when Im thinking ;D
Would you rather a life without music or a life without furniture?
-
Without furniture, of course. I don't use it anyway. :P
Would you rather drive Nissan GTR or BMW M3?
-
I know nothing about cars. I'll walk. :P

-
Warhorse.
Can only use the car on a road.
The Power of Love or The Power of Friendship?
-
The Power of Love was a great song.
Would you rather a Claymore (the freakin' big one) or a Lochaber Axe?
-
I'd take Claymore any day.
Fanta or Sprite?
-
Well Fanta, Sprite is like mineral water, more or less...
Would you rather be a hunter or a farmer? ???
-
Hunter. Waaaay cooler
Would you rather have to stay in bed on a week day (miss work/school) or on a weekend (can't stand up and use your PC)?
-
Weekend, can't be asked to catch up from a missed day of school.
Would you rather study History or Physics?
-
HISTORY!!! For sure.
Would you rather be a fish or a bird?
-
Bird, absolutely.
Would you rather be transported to the 16th century in this world or to the equivalent period in a swords and sorcery style world?
-
Swords and sorcery! I love magic!!!! XD
Hmmmmm Coke or Creaming soda?
-
Coke of course :D
Laptop or desktop with exact same specs?
-
Might as well take the laptop if it's exact same specs.
Would you rather have Tarkalean tea or Klingon Raktajino?
-
The Klingon one. Mainly because I assume its not tea.
Would you rather be charged by a rhinoceros or a bull?
-
Bull, it's happened to me before.
would you rather have a super computer or a super surround sound system. (I wish I had at least one of them. Oh well, you can't get everything.)
-
Supercomputer.
UNLIMITED TABS IN CHROME. :P
Would you rather make a thread that got lost of posts but died out quickly or one that got its posts much more slowly but stuck around longer?
-
The longer a thread goes the better. Long threads are more interesting IMO.
would you rather have pizza or sushi for dinner? :o
-
Pizza. No hesitation.
Sushi is more lunchy :)
Would you rather a cookie or a doughnut?
-
(http://www.improvizations.com/Portals/42614/images/Doughnut%20w%20bite.jpg)
I've already taken the first bite. Doughnut for me, please!
Rock 'n' Roll or Rap music?
-
Rock, of course.
Red or blue?
-
Blue purely chromatically, red all the way if politics comes into it. :P
-
Red is the color of the Republican party here. ;D
You didn't specify a new would-you-rather-thing.
-
I know, you guys just do it all wrong colour-wise. :P
Pirates or the Navy?
-
Pirates! There's the whole freedom aspect. On the other hand, a traumatic childhood event means that I really hate the sea. So never mind, I wouldn't want to be a pirate either.
Beef or lamb?
-
Duh! ;D
I can never think of good ones... um...
Would you rather explore space or the depths of the ocean?
-
Spaaaace :D
Narnia or LOTR?
-
Lord of the Rings. Easily. Narnia's ok, but LotR is just on a whole other level of awesomeness.By itself. Nothing comes close. At all. Ever.
Wheellock or Flintlock?
-
Rock, of course.
Excellent mate. Real music and no more c-Rap-s
Wheellock or Flintlock?
Think flintlock for me, it's more modern and I think our great Greek ancestors liberated our poor country with their Flintlock muscets!
Horse or Motorbike? :P
-
Motorbike, as epic as riding a horse is, see hot fuzz, the clean up after it is just too much.
Capitalism or Communism?
-
Democracy, you Communist PIG! Joking :P. Anyways, I think I'd pick Communism, since the whole "Share everything" means I can walk into a Computer store (Or something) and walk out with a super awesome, 500TB Memory and 40000TB Ram computer for FREEEEEE
Would you rather a normal life-span (Die with friends+family) or infinite life (Watch friends+family age and die)?
-
Normal life span. What's the point of living if its not with other people?
Guanaco or llama?
-
They are so similar. I'd pick Llama, just because I know it better!
Would you rather be a King in Ithaca [a small place/ King Odysseus] or the Seleucid Kingdom [a bigger state/ King Seleucus]
-
Small kingdom.
Less to manage, less power struggles and I can still get the fine things by importing them.
Transported to Jurassic period or Spain, during the Spanish Inquisition?
-
Jurassic period!!! I love dinosaurs XD
Now, for all you boys, would you rather have a piece cut out of your face or a bit cut of your dick?
( Yes, I do have problems XD )
-
Oh trust me to have to answer this :')
Probably the latter, as if a woman likes me so much as to get to the point where it would matter, she wouldn't care. Unless you're talking a sizeable piece... then definitely face xD For obvious reasons. (Not just vanity, functionality too... :'D)
Would you rather no music or no sports?
-
No sport, horrible nasty thing.
Recycled in space or recycled in the British Empire?
-
Space.
Would you rather meet Hannibal Barca or Julius Caesar?
-
Julius
(Have you noticed that famous people get called by their last name as well eg. Harry Potter, Lindsy Lohan .ect Hitler is more commonly called by his last name though.)
Would you rather live in a vast space empire or a vast underground empire?
-
Vast space empire. So I'd live on the surface of some nice, faraway, hospitable planet.
Would you rather take a bullet or a knife?
-
KNIFE!!! I REFUSE to be killed by a gun.
Would you rather a snake bite or a spider bite?
-
Snake bite, being killed by a snake is just more impressive.
Would you rather be killed by an axe or a mace?
Sorry if my questions aren't all that imaginative.
-
Axe I suspect would be quicker, so axe.
Lose a hand or a foot?
-
Foot. If I loss a hand than I wouldn't be able to post on Exilian any more. Was that a test?
Would you rather loss a head or the rest?
-
Either way you lose everything don't you? ;)
Would you rather a grenade blew off your body from the waist down or a chainsaw did something similar?
-
Much better of a question but answered for a different reason. Grenade, because it would be much faster and less painful.
Would you rather have an analog clock or a digital clock?
-
Analog clock, looks much more awesomer.
Would you rather I was your friend and the People's Republic of China was your sworn enemy, or vice versa?
-
I would like the People's Republic of China to be my friend.
Would you rather a super computer or the fans need to stop it from over heating? XD
-
I'll have the fans. The fans can be fun you know. Besides they can keep you cool during the hot Greek summers, which is definately a reason to choose them...
Would you rather study hard or modify your brain with robot parts to achieve easy success??
(iner question... is reading that hard that you should be less human to excell?)
-
I would rather study hard. That way you can learn something instead of knowing it.
Would you rather be a poor bum or not be allowed onto Exilian?
-
I'd say a poor bum, has nothing to do with the other choice it's just my career path.
Would you rather no star wars or no star trek?
-
No star trek. Never seen it before any way.
Welcome back Doomchild, long time no see.
Would you rather the band Red Sparowes or Bluetech. (Look them up if you don't know who they are)

The red sparrowes sound better and they also have a name like jack sparrow... thus I prefer them...
Would you rather play or listen to music? ???
-
Ummm I'd prefer to listen to it as it's less work.
Would you rather be a mouse or a rat?
-
Rat, they're big and mean and mice are just small and cute.
Would you rather Skittles or Mentos?
-
SKITTLES!! OMG I LOVE SKITTLES :D
Would you rather a cloudy or sunny day?
-
Sunny, cloud feels too repressive.
Snufkin or Rainbow Dash?
(Choose carefully)
-
Um... yes? :P
Red or the white?
-
RED, COMRADES. RED! :P
(At least you didn't choose Rainbow Dash)
Hmm...
In your area: mild to medium zombie infestation, or Vampire (proper one) on the loose?
-
I'll rather take the Zombies... they move slower and they can be decapitated... Unlike Vampires that can become bats and attack from everywhere...
would you rather eat fruits or sweets? 8)
-
Fruits are sweet too, so I'd go with them in the long run to avoid the fats.
Would you rather poo your pants (not visible) on stage in front of a thousand people, or wet your pants (visible) at a smaller social occasion.
-
I really can't answer that one. I would have to try them first... wait a second... yep, I would rather poo my pants. XD
Would you rather Skyrim or MW3 to be the next Game of the Year?
-
Skyrim. Who even cares for MW3?
Roses or Violets?
-
Roses. Roses are beautiful, the deep blood red roses are my favourite flowers.
Would you rather be an oak tree in a lightning storm, or the unlucky cow underneath it?
-
An oak tree. More likely to survive if/when I get hit, and even if I don't my death will look seriously badass afterwards.

-
Both (http://images.encyclopediadramatica.ch/6/6c/Trollface.gif)
Would you rather be forever alone or continuously experience the fuuu's?
-
I'll take the fuuuu's, they are adorable after all... ;D

-
neither, I'll take Runescape anyday :D

Big knife or little gun?
-
Big knife. I spit on your poncey fancy newfangled firearms.
Would you rather be a professional executioner or undertake a suicide mission in a war?
-
professional executioner, your doing a public service
though the suicide bit is a possible depending on the war
would you rather be chaotic evil or lawful good?
-
No, no, no. Thats not how you do it. You should have said "Chaotic good or Lawful evil". :P My answer is Lawful Good.
Would you rather dead Chuck Noris or Chuck Noris never existed? You have to answer this one properly.
-
I've never heard of Chuck Noris. If you meant Chuck Norris then you are already dead for spelling his name wrong. (after all that about no typos KHAN! :P )
Would you rather have lemon juice or salt mashed into a fresh cut on your arm?
-
Lemon juice. I like sour stuff. :)
Would you rather dead Chuck Norris or Chuck Norris never existed? You have to answer this one properly.
-
If he never existed that would violate causality, so I'll go for dead.
He's an ageing, bible-thumping moron who's a massively overused trope anyway. There, I said it.
-
You know what you didn't say?
A question.
Animation or live action?

Live action.

Confusion... I actually don't know. I've hardly ever had either.

Real Dragons of Comodo... I'll smash their face! :)
Would you rather be Emperor Napoleon Vonaparte I or Lord Nelson?
-
Lord Nelson. If I were the other than I wouldn't remember my own name. xP
Silver 1 Dollar or Gold 20 cents (real gold)
-
Gold 20 cents. Cause its pretty :) lol
Would you rather an Spyro or Sonic?
-
Spyro. He has a cooler name. ;D
Someone giving you a one hundred dollar note or one hundred dollars in 5 cent coins
-
I'd rather get the first option... notes are cooler IMO.
Would you rather drive a car or ride a motorcycle??
-
CAR CAR CAR CAR!!!
Dark Side of the Moon or Another Brick in the Wall album art.
-
Dark Side of the Moon easily tops it.
Would you rather fall off a cliff and land on a rock jutting out of the sea, or be eaten by toothless horses?
-
Weirdo, the rock would kill you faster so that one for me.
Would you rather live in complete rule for a day or live a normal life for 100 years?
-
Depends how much rule, but probably the 100 years. I'm a historian by nature, after all, so longer life == more history written. :P
Would you rather fight with swords or guns?
-
SWORDS! of course...
But both ways are painful, that's for sure.
Would you rather travel thought Europe or relax in some hidden island on the Pacific ocean? ;)
-
I'd travel Europe, I think. So much interesting stuff to see!
Would you rather watch the whole JuVlog archive ten times or watch ten hours of Nyan cat on repeat?
-
I'd go with the JuVlog, just so I can try and figure out everything you said in the latest edition. ;)
Would you rather be a Jedi, a Dark Jedi, or a Sith?
-
Jedi, the good people always win (95% of the time anyway).
What would you rather, a fight to the death or a fight for your life?
-
The latter.
Would you rather own a blue llama or a hermit crab with a shell made out of lego bricks?
-
The crab, I could build a castle on top of it.
Would you rather there being a heaven or there being no hell?
-
I'd rather there was no hell, since atheists are prolly banned from heaven anyway.
Would you rather do a jigsaw or play chess?
-
I'd rather play chess.
Would you rather get lost in the jungle or shipwrecked on a lonely island? :o
-
Island, I think. Less poisonous animals & hostile tribes, more visibility to possible rescuers, win-win.
Would you rather I finished this question or
-
*blank* win-win
Would you rather a weeks supply of Skittles or a life time supply of Baked Beans?
-
Skittles. EVERY TIME. :P
Would you rather I wrote this question, or someone else?
-
The question, other things are meant for other threads. :P
Would you rather Earth to be in the left hand side of the Universe or the right?
-
Everything must move to the left! In Soviet Astronomy, space watches YOU!

Would you rather You have 1 million dollars or Exilian becoming more active with lots of new active people?
-
The latter, I think, I don't know what I'd do with a million dollars and I'd rather I felt I'd earned it if I had that kind of money.
Would you rather be sitting up a tree or in a cave?
-
In a cave. The tree was temping because of the smell of fresh air and the birds tweeting but I also like the cave because of complete peace and quite. No noise but the sound of my breathing.
Would you rather the sound of the rain or the sound of a small stream?
-
I'd say the stream. It's always nice to takes rides next to small rivers and listen to the flowing water...
Would you rather live alone in the forest, up a tree house or live with 10 lads in a small apartment in the heart of London?
-
TREE HOUSE TREE HOUSE TREE HOUSE
Would you rather, given £10,000 to spend, do so in a huge bookshop, a huge games store, a huge replica artefects/weapons store, or a huge music store?
-
Um - weapons store! (though how would I tote around 5 tons? :P ) (also I know which one you would choose Jub ;) )
Would you rather be a Romulan or a Klingon?
-
Music... I already got enough, Books... them too, games... my computer won't even run most of the ones I want... SO IT'S ARTEFACT'S/WEAPONS!! They would make an awesome hobby.

-
What a question!
Poor but handsome, of course! :)
Would you rather have your own island the size of Malta or your own planet the size of Pluto?
-
Now that's a hard one. A planet. Wait, you said size so you don't mean the same atmosphere so we can have it the same as Earth but just smaller. :) Definitely a planet than.
Would you rather Nachos, Tacos, Pizza, or Spaghetti?
-
Spaghetti.

Bugger a badger or bother a bear?
-
Badger, it sounds less painful.

-
Not, it so much more fun. ;)

Swordfish, more balanced nutritionally and won't give me mercury poisoning which bananas will. Easy.

-
I'll go with the quill.

Cats, they don't pester you as bad.
Would you rather Me or Jubal... I had a mind blank so I couldn't think of a more interesting question. :D
-
I'd have to go for Jubal, ive been trying to get into his pants for months.
Would you rather listen to house music or rap.
-
Ungh... I would say both, since both have really good, intelligent versions, but nowdays, house and rap mean totally armadilloty and simple music that is made to sell and to please the masses, instead of the creators making music for the sake of creating their own music. But I'd say rap, because I believe there is a higher percentage of real "rappers" than of real house producers (besides, house is one of the simplest genres to make, it doesn't have high standards)
Would you rather listen to Justin Bieber's singing while stripping, or Nicki Minaj singing, but somehow reveals that (s)he is a transsexual (dunno, her pants, fall down)? Mind you, both would be on a concert.
-
I would rather Nicki Minaj, at least there's still he fact that everyone used to think she was a girl... JB on the other hand. ;)
Would you rather a blizzard or a lightning storm?
-
Lightning storm.
Would you rather this or that?
-
That, it's on the right side of this so it will take less for me to get there.
Would yo rather Exilian or the Internet?
-
Exilian ( > internet)
Bus or Truck?
-
Bus, fits lots of people on it.
Would you rather living in the medieval ages or the future?
-
Future, im probably less likely to die of cholera or length of pointy steel through the bowels syndrome.
Punch a puppy or bitch slap a kitten?
-
Puppy, would probably hurt it less.
Would you rather 4chan, reddit, Facebook... OR EXILIAN!?!?!
-
Facebook. At least there I get bored.
(haha, reverse psychology, I choose you!)
debux or Dimos?
-
...Dimos... confused yet? ;)
Khan or Markorgus (I think I spelled that wrong)
-
I choose "Mark the Khan".
Sheriff Gandaba or Megalord2? ;)
-
XD LOL!! So someone actually remembers. ;D You should feel proud. You got Karma for that. :) Megalord BTW.
Would you rather a .gif in your sig or a .jpg?
-
.gif. All the way. If not, I wouldn't have awesome and totally-not-getting-old-and-tiredsome DJ-Katzz
Spambots or inactivity?
-
Spambots, at least a page full of spam is better than a page full of nothing.
Would you rather Tudors or Game of Thrones (The TV serieses)? ;D
-
the Tudors never watched it, but i dislike the Game of thrones TV series, its just another HBO Slasherporno.
Would you rather infinite wisdom or unlimited knowledge?
-
Infinite wisdom, for this can lead to unlimited knowledge and moral perfection; even to correct political action.
-
Would you rather me call Dimos debux or if I call debux Dimos?
-
debux Dimos :P ;D

We love you mr Khan, Necroposter and Khagan of Avaria!
Would you rather watch a movie or read a book? [a book for Jubal, I reckon! :)]
-
[Yes definitely book for Jubal]
But I choose movie.
Genghis Khan or Attila the Hun? (same guy)
-
Genghis Khan was more of a badass.
Ancient Greece or Ancient Rome?
-
I'd have to say I am biased towards the Greeks. [Dimos]
Ford or Chevy?
-
Chevy, it has a much more interesting name. ;D
Powerade or Gaterade?
-
Powerade, i've never seen Gatorade in good ol' England.
S2TW or M2TW?
-
M2TW, never played the other.
MW3 or Battlefield 3
-
HOLY armadillo. THAT QUESTION SHOULD NEVER BE MADE.
MW3 is for the mindless run-an'-gun freaks (besides, it's policy of "hey, let's sell the same portugaling game every year, at full price, but with a new Michael Bay story and nicer, grittier textures! And MOAR SCRIPTS!!!" is so disgraceful and disgusting). BF hasn't got there yet.
TW or AoE?
-
:o Now that I really can't answer. If I had to choose though I'd say AoE because I haven't really gotten the chance to play TW to it's full extent. I suppose TW has more replayability though.
I really can't decide so would you rather AoE or TW?
-
AoE being age of empires? TW being total war? AoE, if we're talking the original one. Actually M&B but thats not really in the spirit of this thread i guess.
-
TW meself but I do prefer Pentagathus' suggestion. ;)
Horse or automobile?
-
Horse. Saying "I'm on an automobile" doesn't sound so epic or manly.
Bunny or dying in the flames of hell?
-
Bunny, I'll have plenty of them when I grow up anyway.
Would you rather a Movie or a TV Show?
-
A political TV show.
Would you rather a hot chocolate in the Alps or a cold lemonade on a Greek island? :D
(You know my choise... :D)
-
Greek. I'm not so used to the cold.
Would you rather Live for only one day or die forever?
-
Live for one day because i reckon forever would get pretty damn dull.
Die at 60ish or die at 90 after your brains gone funny and whatnot and you think your a bowl of custard.
-
Die at 60. As if your description of dying at 90 years isn't scary enough :P
Play old school games or new games?
-
...Is this a trick question. I mean, who would choose new games?
Would you rather a King or a Khan?
-
A King. At least he isn't a necroposter (but only a double poster :P )
Xbox or PS3? (my questions are getting geekier than ever)
-
PS3. I have never been comfortable with X-Box.
(Probably already been asked, but I shall ask again)
Oblivion or Skyrim?
-
Oblivion. Skyrim is better in every possible detail, except one, which is the most important of them all. And that's Shivering Isles.
Tongs or calipers?
-
Tongs, because it sounds like "thongs"
/pervert laugh
ETW or NTW?
-
Neither for the sake of my sanity. :P
I'd probably choose ETW though because it gives a little more freedom. I'd love to do a Temeraire mod for it. Because that period of warfare would be made so much more interesting whne one factors in huge, shipsized DRAGONS!
Would you rather be eaten by an orca or a huge leopard seal?
-
Neither :3
Would you rather get banned from everything except playing the computer or get banned from playing the computer?
-
The latter.
Because I don't play games, I merely playtest. :P
Would you rather a world without mathematics or without history (as academic subjects)?
-
Without history. Too many dates.
Would you rather be really tall or really small?
-
Really tall.
If I was really small I wouldn't be able to reach the computer chair!
Also off topic: Since when did feet exist in Exilian?
-
Feet has revived our old story thread (and I thank her a lot for that, somehow it got lost around there :P ), and has started showing up everytime you were offline :P
I'll assume your question was: "would you rather Bunny or no Bunny?" I'll answer by leaving my sig right below me.
Now my question is: would you rather have all five senses (y'know, sight, hearing, all that) except for sight, or all five except for hearing?
-
I'd rather go without hearing, because it's easier to get cyborg "ears".
Would you rather live in the Matrix unawares, or be set "free" and learn the truth?
-
Free, so that way I can fly spaceship looking things (So awesome!).
Would you rather me active in the Beer Cellar or everywhere else?
-
Beer Cellar, because I don't go anywhere else.
Would you rather be handcuffed to a dog or a horse?
-
Dog, they are lees likely to drag me along the ground. xP (You should really go to the Boozer, it's where the conversation stuff goes on.)
Would you rather hands or feet?
-
Hands, I can just get a prosthetic leg
-
Would you prefer me give a question or Sir J de?
-
Me;
Should I jump left or right?
-
Frontwards up and around to the downwards direction of reverse.
What did I just say?
-
Something that I am to lazy to copy and paste into this post.
Why don't people worship me?
-
Because you're Awesome. ;)
What's the definition of 'dog'?
-
My brother
Would you rather to worship De Gamer or me?
-
feet.
Would you rather SotK sorted out the finances or not? :P
-
Don't care which one.
Would you rather me or feet to die?
-
Both >:D Nah, but really, why so morbid?
Would you rather be morbid or depressive?
-
I'd rather be morbid. Cause being depressed is annoying. Having dealt with both, definitely morbid. Especially if your brand of morbidity is black humour, cause then at least people laugh when you're being weird.
Would you rather worship the Bunneh or the God-Emperor?
-
BUNNEH!
Would you rather Halo or CoD to vanish from the universe?
-
I'd prefer CoD to vanish. I still play Halo every now and then. Modding Ghosts to shoot plasma grenades and stuff is fun. :P
I have never played CoD and as I'm not generally a fan of FPS games, I doubt I'm missing much.
Would you rather being in pain every time you took a step or every time you took a breath?
-
Step.
I don't walk around much, and if it gets too much of a pain I will just get a wheelchair.
-
I'll prefer a question.
Where did that non existent question disappear to?
-
Gamer killed it.
Would you rather have an older brother or sister?
-
Sister, I have one and I can tell you. If they skits at you than you'd have a much better chance of defending yourself than is it was an older brother.
Would you rather chat on the KAG forum or Exilian?
-
Kag. I can see what I've sent (if you mean messages)
Would you rather get hit or kicked?
-
Really depends on where :P but usually people have their leg muscles more developed than their arm muscles, so I'd go for hit.
Hip-Hop or Soul?
-
Probably Hip-Hop.
Would you rather die or be trapped in Jail for 50 years?
-
Trapped in jail. Some prisons have foxtel and internet.
Would you rather be stuck in a pit of yogurt or jelly?
-
Yogurt. Tastes better, and must be easier to get out of if you're trying to avoid drowning in it ;D
ETW or NTW?
-
NTW: Natioonal Tourism Week
Would you rather dig really fast or jump really high?
-
Jump really high.
Would you rather be Chuck Norris or Bruce Lee?
-
Chuck Norris. He's alive. I'd rather be alive.
Would you rather be a chicken or a turkey?
-
Turkey.Chickens cross roads.Roads are dangerous.Roads make people dead.
-
Would you rather be a turkey or dead? :P
-
Turkey.
Would you rather be a citizen of Exilian or a moderator of the KAG forums and Terraria forums?
-
Citizen of Exilian.
Would you rather eat your shorts or unexpectedly receive the mother of all wedgies?
-
Eat my shorts, I have plenty of them.
Would you rather die or be banned from the computer?
-
Be banned from my computer.
Would you rather be stuck outside or banned from exiting any building?
-
Your answer is very obvious P:
And for the question, be banned from exiting any building, I hardly ever go outside.
Would you rather eat feet or hands?
-
Jelly Baby Feet.
Would you rather give birth to a girl or a boy?
-
Uh... a girl?
That's quite a weird prospect.
If you went to hell and were told your punishment was to answer random questions forever, would you rather be asked easy questions or thought provoking ones?
-
Thought provoking ones. Easy ones would get boring.
Would you rather be a platypus or a koala?
-
PLATYPUS BECAUSE THEN MY BABIES WOULD BE CALLED PUGGLES AND BE ALL PUGGLE-ISH AND ADORABLE AND I'D HAVE A FRICKEN BEAK. Obviously.
Would you rather play a guitar or a lute?
-
Guitar.
Would you rather be moderator of KAG forums or of my lovely forum?
-
KAG forums? That way I wouldn't mess up your forum with my horribly low activity :P
-
Jubaaaal I caught you! I can play the lute now as well, you Lute-lover ;) :D ;D
-
No new question?
Okay...
Would you rather have a conversation with President Barack Obama or Prime Minister David Cameron?
-
I'd say Obama...
But they are both clearly average.
Would you rather eat a cheese-filled banana or a marmelade-filled raven? [Upload pics of which you'll choose! :D -If you dare!- ]
-
I'm scared.
I'll go for marmelade-filled raven, but I'm scared of what may show up in google. Even with filters on. (I hate cheese)
Would you rather a mongolian necroposter or a ban-hammer weilding aussie as an admin?
-
Mongolian
We need more Mongols playing Total War Games.
Would you use a Pole axe or a Pole Hammer against a charging knight?
-
Axe, far more versatile.
Would you rather own a new watch or new shoes?
-
Shoes.
Would you live in the 1 century BC or AD?
-
Shouldn't really matter so much, but probably go with the BC.
Would you rather be a legionnaire or a hoplite?
-
Ungh, tough one. Because of my fanboyism, I'd go for a hoplite fighting for Carthage. However, reason would triumph and I'd go for the one that promises a better (and possibly a longer!) life. Besides, I love when stuff is well organized, and it would seem that the Roman army was the best at that in the days.
Would you rather be a tribesman of Iberia or Gaul?
-
Gaul.
Their + 3 hour poems seem to be fun...
Would you rather be a Athenian or a Spartan slave?
-
Athenian, so I might be able to learn to read or generally have a vaguely interesting life.
Would you rather set sail under the command of Horatio Nelson or Yi Sun-Shin?
-
Never heard of Yi Sun-Shin, but sounds a lot more interesting than fighting a bunch a nilly-willy inefficient Frenchies and Spaniards >:D
Would you rather fight in a civil war or a war for independence?
-
In a war for independence. I was born during one.
Would you rather work as a fisherman or a banana farmer?
-
Sounds easier to plant some bananas, even if we have plenty of sea down here... But I don't quite favor seafood, I eat very few of it...
Would you rather be King Porrus of India or Queen Zenobia of Palmyra?
[which simply means would you rather be a Leader who lost a war and continued ruling his land under the name of his/her Conqueror, or a Leader who rebelled against an Empire and crafted his own state, defending it for many years, before, finally his dominion was conquered again and he/she died in the siege?]
-
Porus - it is easy to die for your people, much harder but better to live for them.
Would you rather eat tofu-flavoured toffee or toffee-flavoured tofu?
-
Both sound rather horrible, but I think toffee flavored tofu would win.
Attacked by an incredibly randy chiwowa or an incredibly angry platoon of squirrels?
-
Chiwowa would be only one. Besides, I read somewhere that a pack a squirrels were able to kill a dog because they were so hungry.
Music or paintings/sculptures?
-
Music, I think. Conveys so much more than static imagery.
Theatre or movie?
-
Movie.
(http://www.factpile.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/count.dooku.vs.saruman.jpg)
-
Saurman
Chinese or European Broadsword?
-
European. no good reason though, chinese would be too hipster.
Emo or gothic?
-
Emo girls. They're so HAWT.
But gothic as a movement. Less self pity.
Chinese or Italian cuisine?
-
Chinese. I like rice.
A Hoplon or a Scutum?
-
Scutum sounds like scrotum, which pleases my very immature sense of humor. Also you could use it as a boat. Mabye. Probably not. But you could have fun convincing someone else to try it.
Saxophone or trumpet?
-
Depends.
Oranges or Apples?
-
Apples!
Bananas or pears?
-
Bannanas, they're expected to replace wheat as a stable food source in many places whereas pears are close enough to apples and aren't necessary for anything apart from pear cider.
Hippies or Suits?
-
Hippies. A lot funner. Besides, you always have to worry on your physical state if you want to wear suits, since they are supposed to be tight (and therefore, you always have to remain the same size). Hippie baggy clothes are also very nice and colourful.
Aerobics or sports?
-
Sports, like running or something...
Would you rather be a helicopter rescuer or an army airbourne?
-
Helicopter rescuer, dangling out of a flying object is difficult enough without some fool trying to put a bullet in my ass.
Russia or China?
-
Russia got russian vodka (and russian accents for english). Enough said.
US or EU?
-
If I must choose,I choose EU.
Many small factions with a few units in a mod,or a few major factions with a lot of units in a mod?
-
Small factions, because I prefer campaign-level stuff and it gives more interesting geopolitics.
Library or laboratory?
-
Library.
Big army of untrained units or a small band of elites?
-
Small formidable band of Elite Warriors.
They simply have the metal for greatness. They cut through armies of untrained peasants and they help me establishing my own Duchy at my Module... They are excellent garisson at reasonable cost as well!
'nough said.
Would you rather be a petty King on a baren wastleland or a vassal in an overproductive farmland?
-
A vassal. The first option doesn't seem very secure, the life of whoever would be in charge of taking care of the land would sure have some impatient subjects :P
East coast or West coast ("nigguh")?
-
Of the USA,you mean?
East.
Mount & Blade or Elemental War of Magic?
-
M & B, even though I haven't played either :p
Dog or cat?
-
Dogs.
Fish tank or a turtle terrarium?
-
Terrarium.
An agressive turtle's portugalbuddy or a relatively passive toroise's bitch?
-
Depends on the size of the tortoise.
Mouse or touchpad?
-
I'll touch your mouse ;)
Mouse, can't game with a touchpad easily.
-
Would you rather I post a question next time or not?
-
I would ;D
Would you be a British Grenadier or a Greek Hoplite?
-
Grenadier because I don't think anyone pays hoplites these days. Actually I suppose being a greek hoplite would mean I wouldn't have to go to war at all considering they aren't actually part of anyone's army.
A night of skanking or clubbing?
-
Neither, but Skanking sounds better IMO.
Would you rather be a medieval swordsman or axeman??
-
Axeman, so i could have a badass axe, who doesnt like having a badass axe?
Would you rather go to the pub or have a house party?
-
If I had a house which was suitable for a house party then the second, although usually I would rather go to a pub than someone elses house party.
Early stage testicular cancer or HIV?
-
Uh, early stage testicular cancer? I'd prefer not to be able to participate in sexual intercourse than getting fatally sick and maybe even die because of it. The question did get me out of place, so extra points for leaving me stunned for like 15 seconds.
Planetside 2 or WoW?
-
Don't know anything about planetside, but going with that.
Cepheida or Guns Swords and Steam?
-
Don't know anything about Cepheida (google didn't even help), but the second alternative sounds manly and valve-ish, which are good things :P
(FYI, Planetside 2 is a MMO FPS, and I love it. First game with a futuristic setting that I come to like a lot. Was the first thing that came into mind)
Pure, original Jazz or Jazz-influenced various genres?
-
Jazz-influenced various genres... I don't know, I don't listen to Jazz.
Would you prefer awesome grammar skills or awesome spelling skills?
-
Grammar skills... nothing beats being a wise ass on the internet :D You can't be a wise ass spelling bee on the internet, unless you're on Omegle video or something
-
Would you prefer people remember to ask their questions or we go on like this with questions about people not asking a question?
-
Pikachu I choose you!
Would you rather answer the questions or follow my lead to glory and barely limited power.
-
I'd rather answer the questions, Glory will come sooner that way!

-
A duck. Swans are scary!
Would you rather the power of attraction or repulsion?
-
Attract people, in the good way.
Would you rather have a Nuclear Fallout Apocalypse or a Zombie Apocalypse?
-
I'd rather kick some ZOMBIE ass! hehehheh
Would you rather play football (''soccer'' for the U.S. Αmericans, ''calcio'' per gli Ιtaliani, ''ποδόσφαιρο" για τους Έλληνες) or bascetball?
PS: I'd rather be a duck as well, because Swans have silly necks!! hehhehe! Ducks are faster and more kewl (cool)
-
Neither, it's Basketball all the way for me. I actually do play it for my school. :)
Would you rather an awesome PC or an awesome Surround Sound Stereo System.
-
Awesome PC (the stereo system can be a part of an awesome pc, but not vice versa!)
Would you rather ace of hearts or spades in cards?
-
:) Ace of Shapes sounds good, it used to be better though. ;)
Would you rather Bungie or 343?
-
343 whats?
Christmas pudding or christmas cake?
-
Cake.
Would you rather be cut off at the knee or the head?
-
What the portugal kind of question is that? Knees aren't essential for living, heads are.
Be called a humbucking badgerbotherer or a doodling duckduffer?
-
humbucking badgerbotherer, hands down.
Folk music or Rap?
-
Folk.
Ska or Jazz?
-
hmmmm i love jazz but i think i would prefer ska, especially Polish ska because it's awesome.
A talking teapot or a mind reading parrot
-
A talking teapot. Less sh*t (literally), more meaningful afternoon conversations.
And I don't want anyone to read my mind, ever. For their own sake. Too much weird, unexplainable, borderline insane stuff happening in there.
Accidentally french kiss a person of your own gender or a transsexual?
-
hmmmm i love jazz but i think i would prefer ska, especially Polish ska because it's awesome.
Could you be kind enough to provide some examples of polish ska bands?
Transsexual, I can't really how you could accidentally do so unless you were unaware they were not female. I suppose some hilarious Carry On style plot could be to blame though.
-
No question? ???
-
Would you rather I forgot to post a question or I post naked pics of myself?
-
Naked pics.
Would you rather there were no films or no music?
-
No films, undoubtedly.
No cheese or no chocolate?
-
No chocolate, cheese is too useful.

-
No phones, there'salwaysskype.
No Africa or no South America?
-
No Africa. (you're welcome, debux ;D )
No California or No New York (state)?
-
No New York (State). California is the surfing paradise...
Would you rather be a Pangolin or an Armadillo?
-
Pangolins aren't profanities so them.
Girl with pretty face and average body or the other way around (hint, the 1st one is the correct answer)
-
Pretty face and average body, definitely.
Would you rather be a duck or a goose?
-
A goose.
Much more graceful.
Would you rather be a tapeworm or an intestinal worm?
-
Intestinal worm. Muahahaha.
Be a trooper in Rome: Total War or a peasant in Mount & Blade?
-
Peasant at M&B. At least there I could win some bandits, take their equipment, then slay some deserters, take theirs, then sell the rest of the loot and the I could buy some decent armour and become a noble Duke or King. I can't do that being a trooper in RTW.
Heads or Tails?
-
Heads.
Not a huge fan of tails and furries.
If you know what I'm talking about. :P
Crocs or red cowboy boots for your next night out?
-
Owch. Cowboy boots since it's too cold for crocs.
Byzantines or Crusaders?
-
Byzantines.
Eaten by a crocodile while wearing cowboy boots, or eaten by a cowboy while wearing crocs?
-
Crocodile would probably do a quicker job.

-
Lord of the Rings.
Actually, more of a Game of Colleges girl myself.
Pokemon or Dragons?
-
Dragons! ;D
Rowan Williams or Benedict XVI?
-

Lord Donald, because he doesn't die. And kicks ass better. :P (But probably Matty really)
The Silmarillion or The Hobbit?
-
The Silmarillion - not a clue why.
Fili or Kili?
-
Fili because he's not so aggressively Kili and therefore safer to have around :P
Balin or Dwalin?

Balin, because Gimli gets his axe.

Bofur I think.
Oin, or Gloin (or Loin)?

As for above, beaches. I like wadah.
-
And now we're left with nothing to answer. IT'S ALL FALLEN APART! OH GOD NO!
Oh wait, pegs. Camping is fun.

An assexual relationship with someone you intensely dislike or a sexual relationship with someone you find physically repulsive?
-
If I the physically repulsive person was genuinely a really nice person, probably the latter if I had to stay in said relationship for a long time. If there was no set time limit, the assexual relationship as it would be easy to break off quickly.
Daleks or Cybermen?
-
Cybermen, I really disagree with the concept of Daleks.
Pyjama day or pyjama party?
-
Really? What's wrong with the concept of Daleks?
Pyjama party, I have pyjama days all the time and they're not that exciting.
-
They're supposed to be the supreme beings but lack opposable thumbs, or any sort of grabbing instrument. Suction isn't the same, it's not as adaptable. They seem to be really missing a trick or two.

Toffee I guess. ;)
Would you rather be attacked by Donald McBane or Chuck Norris?

I'd rather kick some C-N ass, dude! 8)

-
Heaven. WHo wouldnt want paradise and peace forever?

Chocolate. All of the chocolate.

I would have no idea how to deal with any of those components you linked. And putting them together would cause me to break many many things. Price wise a ps4 isn't much more than the total of your two links, I'd pay more for it being already put together. I destroy anything i touch.

Cookies or chips (English)?
-
I thought they were biscuits?
-
I thought they were biscuits?
In the UK "cookie" means a specific type of sweet baked product, roughly round and fairly flat, often 3-4 inches across and a bit under half an inch thick. If the consistency is right, they're slightly hard on the surface, and softer inside. They often contain things like chocolate chips, bits of fruit, or other flavourings. I think these are called cookies in the US as well. "Biscuit" over here would usually refer to something smaller and crisper than a cookie.
On the Wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cookie), the photo at the top shows a British cookie; the middle two photos show things that we would call biscuits.

Always been to hot or to cold?
-
I guess too cold, though either would drive me mad.
Jasmine tea or Peppermint tea?
-
Peppermint, 'cause I've never tried it...
Meet Hades or Zeus?
-
You've never tried peppermint tea? I thought you'd said you didn't like it at some point in the past, or was that just a dislike of peppermints as mints?
I guess Hades, so I could try and arrange some interviews with people's shades for my research work...
-
Actually I quite like mint, we have that in our garden (mentha carinthiaca), we don't have peppermint though, so my exposure to that has been limited... I might have said I don't like it as much as normal tea though, since it's pretty rare for me to find anything that I like more than normal tea, could that be it?
Cerberus or the Hydra?
-
Oops, I forgot a question!
That's possible. I think sometimes you express pre-emptive dislike for things, which is fair enough but can be a little confusing at times :)
As to your next question, Cerberus, I think. Probably easier to run away from since he actually has a job to do guarding the gates of the underworld and stuff.
Kobolds or Hobgoblins?
-
Kobolds, since I know more about those...
Remus Lupin or Minerva McGonagall?
-
Lupin. Always one of my favourite characters.
Hippogriffs or Gryphons?
-
Hippogriff. Buckbeak is always a win... :)
Andals or First Men?
-
Eh, I'm much of a muchness on this one, though I'll say First Men.
The more important combination beast run-off: Hippogriff or Owlbear?
-
Definitely the Owlbear... :)
Stark or Martell?
-
Martell :)
Tully or Tyrell?
-
Family. Duty. Honor.
Venice or Rome?
-
Venice! :) Even if I do have a bone to pick with them about 1204.
Paris or Prague?
-
Prague, I love Paris, but I've been 6 or 7 times now, and Prague (as I remember it) is less crowded...
Shepherd or Retriever?
-
Shepherd :)
Pirates or Ninjas?
-
Pirate :)
Dragon or Wyvern?
-
Dragon!
Skeleton or Zombie?
-
Skeleton
Owl or Cat?
-
Ooh, that's difficult. I think owl, though I love cats too.
Echidna or Platypus?
-
Echidna, because real life nifflers are a thing... :)
Faith of the Seven or Old Gods?
-
Eh, Old Gods I guess but faith isn't really my area.
Teapot or teacup?
-
Teapot, cups are too small... :)
Strawberries or blueberries?

Strawberries, though blueberries are nice too!

Woods or Fields?
-
Woods :)
Glasses or mugs?

Mugs, far better for handling hot beverages... :)
Cookies or biscuits?

Breadsticks (because I only like green olives, so I'm playing it safe...) :)
Moon or stars?
-
Moon
The Man in the Moon or Father Christmas?
-
Never believed in either, but as a proud Austrian, I've got to go with the Man in the Moon... :)
Fairies or pixies?
-
Fairies, I think...
Redcaps or boggarts?
-
Redcap (and Leaf) ;)
Pan or Hermes?
-
I like both, I think I'll go with Pan though because folk music playing goat-people sound like my kind of people to hang out with.
Frog or Newt?
-
Newt Scamander is always a win... :)
Ice or snow?
-
I knew you'd say that :P
Snow! All the snow :)
Snowmen or snow angels?
-
Am I that predictable?
Snow angels, if I make those, they look at least remotely like they're supposed to....
Ocean or space?
-
Ocean :)
Desert or moon surface?
-
Desert, there's at least oxygen there, though I doubt I'd survive long in either place... :D
Morning or evening?
-
Morning - I like mornings and really should make better use of them, I see far too many late evenings and I'm sick of them.
Borgio or Lucrezia?
-
Lucrezia
Crisps or crackers?
-
Crackers - more versatile.
Lemur or llama?

Peace and quiet, definitely...
Italy or France?
-
Italy, I think...
Boromir or Denethor?
-
Boromir, Sean Bean is great... ;D
Face Oberyn or Arthur Dane in a duel?
-
Arthur Dayne - less likely to use poison, therefore a less painful death!
Hurdy gurdy or hammered dulcimer?
-
Hammered dulcimer, kind of more of a regional thing over here...
Tulips or daffodils?
-
Tulips, I think.
Rosemary or Oregano?
-
Oregano, I never build bombs without oregano, makes such a nice boom... ;D
Parchment or papyrii?
-
Papyri, more eco
Cushions or pillows?
-
Pillows, I like things I can sleep on... ;D
Grandfather clock or cuckoo clock?
-
Grandfather clock, better disguise for a TARDIS :)
Speaking or listening?
-
I have been told I like listening to myself speaking.... ;D
Hedwig or Crookshanks?
-
Hedwig, I like wols
Tyr or Ares?
-
Ares, he was the best dog in the world... :)
Padfoot or Snuffles?
-
Padfoot :)
Shacklebolt or Firebolt?
-
Firebolt, since the Minister for Magic can't fly and even if he could, he probably wouldn't qualify as a mode of transport... ;D
Blinds or curtains?
-
Blinds.
Carpet or hardwood?
-
Hardwood (easier to clean...)
Bread or toast?
-
Bread :)
(To be fair, we don't *know* that Kingsley Shacklebolt can't fly. I suspect one shouldn't jump on him to find out though.)
Anteaters or Alpacas?
-
(We do, flying is a unique ability in the Potterverse, only exhibited by Snape and Voldemort [unless you argue that the Cursed Child is canon, which it isn't] and yes, my point exactly) ;)
Alpacas
Neverending Story or Momo?
-
Neverending Story? I don't know either, but I like the idea of neverending stories.
Cutlass or Hand Cannon?
-
Cutlass... Hand Cannons remind me of guns and they are a coward's weapons...
Nightowl or Early Bird?
-
I'll ask you not to call me a coward, kthnxbai.
Early owl maybe? Somewhere in between.
Early worm or second mouse?
-
Definitely second mouse, I'll attribute it to myself to be around the corner waiting for another mouse to die so I can have cheese... (yes, I'm evil...) ;D
Harp or piano?
-
Harp :)
Vole or shrew?
-
Vole
Chocolate or nougat?
-
Chocolate.
Dark or milk chocolate?
-
Milk Chocolate (although it really depends on what you do with it, I usually bake with dark chocolate, because those things are sweet enough as it is...)
Light or darkness?
-
Light :)
Plants or stones?
-
Plants, I'm a woods witch... :)
Left or right?
-
Right.
Up or down?
-
Down, I'm headed to hell... ;D
Christmas or Easter?
-
Christmas by far.
Same trend of thought,
Giving gifts or receiving gifts?
-
Giving... People get that twinkle in their eyes when they're happy and that is the best thing ever... :)
Lemons or lemonade?
-
Lemons because you can use them in more things.
Would you rather have a hand made of good quality ham which regenerates fairly slowly (sustenance for you for about a day, then you have to wait 2 days) or an armpit which dispenses suncream (a medium factor, enough for you and a couple of other people every day)
-
Suncream, because I'm a vegetarian with a major susceptibility to sunburn...
Would you rather be dead for a day or live forever?
-
Not sure what the first one means. Do you mean like you die for one day then wake up and you have a normal length life?
Are the life lengths guaranteed, or might I still get hit by a bus / get cancer / go mad etc?
I guess I'll opt for dead for a day so that I can release a load of books about how I met god and make millions from bible belt types.
Would you rather punch a nun on the arm for no reason, causing her to be so upset she renounces her faith - and nobody knows you did it, or would you rather have everyone think that you go around punching nuns on the arm for no reason, but you dont?
-
The second option, as I don't care what people think of me, as long as I know I'm doing the right thing...
Kill or be killed?
-
Depends on who the other person involved in the question is. If we're assuming "random person attacking me and this is self defence" then kill, if it's "kill a random innocent person or have someone else kill you", then be killed.
Toast or cereal?
-
Toast, doesn't seem too nauseating at the moment...
Blue bells or buttercups?
-
Bluebells :)
Castles or Dragons?
-
Dragons, they make great pets... :)
Cocoa or hot chocolate?
-
Are they not the same? Oh no cococa is the constituent part of all chocolate, right? So I'll go with that because it's in wispas, and wispas are nice.
Jason Vorhees or Freddy Krueger?
-
(It depends actually, but in Viennese coffee culture -which, yes, is a thing - hot chocolate is made with water, while cocoa is made with milk. HC is also generally made with dark cocoa powder and cocoa with lighter one...)
Freddy Krueger (that name rings a bell...)
Flowers or trees?
-
Trees. I like flowers but I've always loved trees, they're wonderful things.
To roll with the theme of my day, Armenia or Byzantium?
-
Byzantium (I know more - albeit still far too little - about that... :))

Dirt or Air?
-
(Oh come on, it's late over here, and my brain has been buzzing all day...)

Werewolf or Cards Against Humanity?
-
CAH. Are they both games? In any case I haven't played either but I am aware of CAH.

-
Hearts, humans don't work well without them, I have been told...
Fox or Owl
-
Owl. Rly.
Tortoise or hare?
-
Tortoise.
Pencil or ruler
-
Ruler.
Rain or snow?
-
Snow.
Guitar or Sitar?
-
Guitar.
Trombone or baritone saxophone?
-
Trombone.
Would you rather that everything you eat tastes really nice, or that you don't ever have to eat at all if you don't want to
-
Don't have to eat at all, it would be so nice if I no longer needed that stuff...
Leaves or petals?
-
Leaves.
Cutlery or silverware?
-
Cutlery, doesn't blacken up with time...
Bed or couch?
-
Couch. It can be used as both.
Macinsoft or Microtosh?
-
Macinsoft. If you have to ask why then you don't deserve to know.
Would you rather be in a zombie apocalypse with an Axe or a Sword
-
Sword. If I am to die, I'm going to go out in style... (but I definitely wouldn't say no to a flame thrower... ;D)
Phone or laptop?
-
Phone. :( The convenience has taken me. Although I still regularly use my pc.
A nice warm lager and a packet of crisps or a frosty ale and some chips (as in crisps)?
-
Augh, I dunno. Probably the ale? But it would depend a lot. I don't really drink either much.
Tortoises or Snakes?
-
Dinner or supper?
-
Supper :)
Breakfast or Second Breakfast?
-
Probably more like Second Breakfast by now (seeing as I haven't had a first one...)
Ice tea or cake?
-
I'll go with cake. Because it's cake and cake is awesome.
Would you rather be able to turn into a spider or a chicken
-
Spider. Even though I hate them.
Would you rather be a fungus or algae?
-
Fungus: algae just sit around and photosynthesise, while fungi produce this fascinating range of things, some very tasty, and some excitingly poisonous :P
Would you rather travel across space or through time?
-
I have a long list of supplementary questions about how I'm travelling and how easy it is to get back again... I think I'll say through time as the novelty value seems greater, but it's a tricky one without a more detailed scenario.
World map or map of Arda?
-
World map, seems slightly more helpful in the current situation...
Charades or GuessWho?
-
Charades.
Poker or Blackjack?
-
Poker, I remember playing that once...
Jedi or Sith?
-
Neither but Sith I guess.
Would you rather run over Jar-Jar or 8 year old Anakin?
-
Wow, brutal much? Anakin, I guess, since JarJar gets way too much hate imo (they both do, actually) - he would have made a great sith lord, if people had not totally overreacted...
Midsummer Night's Dream or Romeo and Juliet?
-
Romeo, although the other sounds really interesting I'm just unfamiliar with it.
Macbeth or Othello?
-
The Scottish Play, there's witches... ;D
Niccolo Machiavelli or John Dee?
-
Machiavelli.
Da Vinci or Tesla?
-
Da Vinci.
Thriller or crime novel?
-
Crime.
Sci-fi or fantasy?
-
Same thing, just deprnds on the "furniture"... but I like magic being addressed as such, so I guess fantasy?
Detective or inspector?
-
Detective.
Sheriff or Highway Patrol?
-
Sheriff, has more fun historical connotations (albeit a higher likelihood of being shot by reggae singers).
Pig or Pirate?
-
Pirate.
Army or Navy?
-
Christmas.
Chreaster or Reastmas?
Edit:
I'm not sure what just happened but it seems k was looking at the wrong page.

Marine force in the Air.
Royal Marines or the other Marines?
-
The few. The proud. The Marines.
Mexican-American War or Spanish-American War?
-
Peace.
Moonlight or starlight?

Starlight
Leaves or petals?
-
Petals, when they fall, it always means there's spring and I like spring... :)
Whistling or singing?
-
Hey you can't just deny the choice. :(
Whistling.
Henry Ford or the Dodge brothers?
-
I can, I have and I will. You just watch me. ;D
Ford.

Noon.

-
Dracula :)

-
Humidifier, I have been told my instruments would technically need one...

-
Snow, I like snow... :)
Black Sea or Caspian Sea?
-
Caspian - I like the whimsical name.
Would you rather that when you ran over 5 miles you then sweated exactly 1 bottle of nice red wine, or you can voluntarily break a bone to receive a gold orb the size of a hens egg

-
Struck by lightning.
Theseus or Hippolyta?
-
Theseus
Would you rather have a lego brick permanently glued to your cheek or a pea permanently stuck up one nostril?
-
The lego. I think it's something I could... build on.
Raining moderately all the time or so hot that you can't stand to be outside for more than 5 minutes?
-
Raining moderately... I love rain, I hate sunshine and heat is the worst thing ever (I spend summers locking myself in the basement...)... Rain is the best thing ever!
-
I would rather _ because _
High five from Matt LeBlanc or hand shake from Gary Numan
-
Oups, sorry, totally forgot...
I don't know either of these gentlemen, but I feel like a handshake would be more respectful...
Mission Impossible or James Bond?
-
JB
JB or Indiana Jones?
-
Indy, because a) archaeologist, b) harrison ford and c) I don't like JB...
Witcher or Skyrim?
-
You don't like JB? :'(
Skyrim I guess, though I've played neither.
Sigillography or numismatics?
-
*rolls eyes* you know who I mean, don't pretend otherwise...
Sigillography, though I find both interesting...
Tucumé or Piramesse?
-
Tucumé seems cool :)
Pizza or beer?
-
Pizza, personally, I find beer awful..
Sunrise or sunset?
-
Sunrise please. I am much more of a morning person.
Alexander the great or groot

Groot, he only has a fictional body count...
Atlantis or El Dorado?
-
Atlantis

-
Mime, it'll be hilarious...
Cupcakes or doughnuts?
-
Doughnuts.
Pretzels or pop tarts?
-
Pop Tarts. I have a sweet tooth
would you rather be saved from a perilous situation by carlton from the fresh prince of bel air or Cameron from ferris beullers day off?
-
I don't know either of these, but I guess it doesn't really matter, as I'm quite capable of saving myself... I don't need saving especially not from a man...
Suffolk Strangler or The Devil's Disciple?
-
Suffolk Strangler
I don't know either of these
Carlton Banks is an intelligent yet sometimes annoying relative of Will "Fresh prince" Smith in the tv series: Fresh prince of bel air
hopeless hypochondriac Cameron Frye Was is best friend of Ferris Beuller who was unwilling to go on an adventurous day off, and despite suffering a number of calamities, had a good time
You are trapped under a log that you can not move. Unless someone helps it is likely you will starve to death. Would you rather that you were helped by carlton or Cameron?
-
Do you know how much adrenaline the body produces in a moment of crisis? If I can't lift the thing, why would some guy be able to do it? Sticking with my answer from earlier on: I don't need help and there isn't any possible scenario which you can come up with in which I would need a man to save me.
Basil or oregano?
-
Oregano :)
Rosemary or Thyme?
-
Depends with what, but thyme is great against colds, so I'll go with that...
Parsley or sage?
-
I use Parsley in more of my recipes, I choose that.
Would you rather have a small invisible ghost can bring you your favourite beverage 5 times a day, (but that's all it can do) or the ability to create the best crème brûlée on earth
-
Tiny ghost. Tiny ghosts are cute... :)
Written or spoken?
-
Written.
Hamster or parakeet?
-
Hamster
Epigraphy or Palaiography?
-
Palaeography, because the inscriptions will probably last longer so you may as well get the palaeography done while you still can!
Red or Yellow?
-
Red, even though I'll always prefer blue...
Candle or lantern?
-
Lantern as in flashlight? I'll go with that.
Would you rather only be able to jump everywhere you go or only be able to walk on your hands?
-
I'd jump everywhere. Seems to be alright for tigger
Would you rather be able to teleport anywhere one way and you can't take anything with you (including the clothes you are wearing); or float, but you can go no faster than 1 mile an hour
-
Nude teleportation.
Would you rather have to live in a forest with as many conveniences as you want just no permanent buildings, or inside a building that has plants and trees but you can't ever go outside?
-
I'm a witch, I'll take the forest, thank you ;D
City or countryside?
-
Countryside x9001
Mountain cabin or beach house?
-
Depends on where the beach house is, but most likely mountain cabin...
Desk or table?
-
Desk, because it has a flat surface I can put my laptop or my food plate on AND it has drawers. It's like a table with pockets!
Earl Grey or Green tea?
-
Earl Grey - hands down
Would you rather have a balloon for a head or custard pies for hands
-
Balloon head.
Have a cone head or be mute?
-
Probably be mute, might save me from all those situations my tongue gets me into when she runs away with me and my brainfilter is too slow to catch up... :/
Palace or Castle
-
Palace. Seems like it'd be more clean and fancy.
Live in 3001 or 1003?
-
3001, I don't want to be a peasant farm worker and die young :/
Budgies or lovebirds?
-
Maybe by 3001 we've reverted to feudalism again lol
Budgies!
Live in the Persian Empire or Imperial China?
-
Persian Empire I think
Would you rather have someone write a famous poem about you or novel
-
Novel. That's a novel idea.
Be a cow or a chicken?
-
Got called a cow once, never been accused of being a chicken... ;)
Old or young?
-
Do you mean: What age would you rather your antiques be? Old.
Would you rather people keep coming up to you and asking a question you don't know the answer to, or that you can't explain the answer to.
-
I mean, the first one keeps happening and I'm dealing quite well with it...
Be able to stay in bed forever without any consequences, or never feel tired or have to sleep?
-
If literally no consequences - including that the ageing process stops while I'm in bed - then the former, immortalise sounds nice. If just no social consequences, then the latter.
Would you rather get all your choices from "Would you rather" come true, or the ability to conjure up any noun you've ever played in Word Association? :)
-
(Wow, really? Immortality?)
The noun, cause I'm pretty sure that so far I have mentioned dragons a couple of times... :)
Would you rather be allergic to sunlight or never be able to hug a cat ever again?
-
(I wasn't being serious - I think I'm feeling overly fretful about mortality recently for a variety of reasons and overcompensating!)
That's difficult, but probably the cat thing, since other fluffles exist and becoming a ferret aficionado seems less of a problem than becoming wholly nocturnal...
-
I would rather choose the absence of a question, since the other absence of a question might be considered to be nothingness - which as we have learned from the never ending story can be very dangerous
Would you rather be called Mary and have a small lamb with white fur follow you everywhere so insistently that you kept tripping over it or a relentlessly altruistic sheep with black fur that was constantly forcing your parents and neighbours to accept a bag filled with it's wool?
-
I have a soft spot for black sheep (being one myself), so I'll go with that...
Fox or tortoise?
-
Eff oh ex.
Hound or turtle?
-
Turtle!
Spades or Pick axes
-
Spade, blunt force trauma makes for less of a mess than a pickaxe...
Painful truth or beautiful lie?
-
Painful truth.
Would you rather be the best player on a losing team or the worst player on a winning team?
-
The real question is "what team is it?", because if it's anythinh like the ones I'm in atm, it doesn't matter who's best, who's worst and whether or not we're winning. What matters is the team, being a team. :)
Ignorance or bliss?
-
Um, bliss, bliss sounds quite nice and I can't see much upside to ignorance?
Wolverines or Hog Badgers?
-
Wolverine! I love the X-Men... ;D
X-Men or Avengers?
-
Uh... X Men? I guess? I honestly don't know enough about either superhero team, but the X-Men seem pretty cool, and more like they have actual team dynamics/plots which I like whereas the Avengers are more "let's stick a bunch of separate superheroes together because that sounds cool".
A hero team mashup of fantasy heroes: Gandalf, Arya Stark, Kvothe, Archmage Ged, and Puddleglum
Or one of sci-fi heroes: the 13th Doctor, Captain Picard, Luke Skywalker, River Tam, and Marvin
-
Just because I'd like to meet Luke (and also finally get new WHO episodes), I'll go with option b... :)
Wolf in sheepskin or sheep in a wolfspelt?
-
awwwww, that's adorable. definitely sheep in a wolfspelt.
Would you rather run a high class bureau de change, or a two-bit Punch and Judy show on the seafront at Margate
-
I don't know what either of those are, but I heard "seafront" and I like the sea...
Orthodoxy or Catholicism?
-
Well if an option was neither I would go for that. I'll pick catholicism because many of their churches are pretty baroque and gothy looking.
Would you rather be a bit part in Oliver twist or the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
-
Oliver Twist - my accent might be rather out of place in Huckleberry Finn!
Cleric or Bard?
-
Hhehehe please sir can I have some more xD
Cleric. They can shoot fire lol
Old York or New York?
-
Old York, definitely. It's a really nice city :)
Boston, England, or Boston, MA?
-
England... I'm not ever going to America, if I can help it.
King Lear or Macbeth?
-
Awww :'(
Macbeth
Carl or Lenny?
-
Carl I think would have a less annoying voice over time
Would you rather have your face permanently pained with bad clown make up, or every time you coughed a small spider flies out of your mouth
-
The second one - I don't have much problem with spiders, and I had a childhood phobia of skin markings and signs on me which, whilst no longer a phobia, still makes my skin crawl a bit at the thought of face paint.
Kakheti or Hereti?
-
Hereti? I know nothing about either, but Heretia seems to have a bigger sort of pond, and I like water... :)
Death by fire or death by freezing?
-
Fire. It's over more quickly.
Be a potato or a cucumber?
-
Potato, I love potatoes!!! :)
Thessaloniki or Constatinople?
-
Thessaloniki, I have a personal loyalty to that city :)
Salzburg or Vienna?
-
Salzburg, spent most of my childhood summers there, more mountainy, more foresty and more dreamy than Vienna... :)
Grimm or Hauff?
-
Hauff, mostly because I know less about him and he sounds interesting.
Dawn's Beauty or The Land of Stone?
-
Dawn's Beauty... Elder Scrolls is the best and Lorcan is definitely not the worst deity in those games... :)
Dawnstar or Falkreath?
-
Falkreath, it seems smaller and has trees and I like trees.
Chain lightning or Fireball?
-
Fireball, I like playing with fire... :)
Conjuration or Illusion?
-
Conjuration I think is more the honest
Rock or Roll
-
Roll. You can eat rolls. You can't eat rocks.
Paladin or Rogue?
-
You can't eat rocks.
(Well, maybe you can't, but I can certainly think of some people who can... :))
Paladin... (I don't think I need to explain this)
Sorcerer or Druid?
-
Druid, I like trees :)
Willow trees or Birch trees?
-
Willows, they make good nature tents... :)
Cypress or Cedar?
-
Cypress :)
Ebony or Mahogany?
-
Ebony. I've never heard of Mahogany Armour, have you? :P
Alder or Elder?
-
Alder, it's a wetland tree so it's a bit of home for me :)
Chalk or Clay?
-
Chalk, us wolves use that thing all the time... ;D
Snow or Rain?
-
Snow :) Though both are nice and necessary at their own time.
Shells or scales?
-
Scales, I've always been more of a fish than a clam... ;D
Fur of feathers?
-
Both! But I think fur if forced to choose, sticking with my mammalian roots.
Ducks or geese?
-
Geese, I wanted to be the Goose Girl when I was little... :)
Birds or Fish?
-
Fish!
Carrot or Stick?
-
Carrot! You can't eat sticks.
Bed or shower?
-
Showers are always good... The rain ones are the best though... :)
Cyril or Methodius?
-
Methodius :)
Earth or Sky?
-
I mean, I see myself as a mountain, with my feet firmly on the ground and my head in the clouds and impossible to topple, but if I had to choose one, I'd say the sky... :)
East or West?
-
East, I seem to keep heading that way...
The Rat-demon Agalba'thauth, or a suspicious looking jar of something that smells like cheese?
-
The Rat-demon, just because you keep bringing him into this and I'd like an explanation...
Insanity or dullness?
-
That's a good one. I'll choose dullness because properly losing ones mind is a scary thing
Would you rather have access to Narnia or be able to turn into a Griffon
-
Turn into a Griffon! Wings for flying, and a sharp beak and razor claws for ripping apart the flesh of my enemies... :) What could be better?
Apples or Oranges?
-
Apples, Oranges are often hard to get the pith off.
Starlight or Lamplight?
-
Starlight. I don't know wheter it's the poet inside me, who believes that it's more romantic, or the cat whose currently thinking about picturesque walks over rooftops and sitting beside a chimney top, looking up at the night sky... Or maybe I jusg like stars... They're twinkly... :)
Water with or without sparkles?
-
I'll choose: without, because I spend time underwater as a hobby so don't want my vision impaired with sparkly-ness
Manga or Marvel
-
Marvel, big Fan, right here... :)
Order or Chaos?
-
Order for myself, chaos for everything else. :P
Curly or Shemp?
-
Curly (had to do a web search)
Would you rather win a reality TV show, or win a nobel prize but then have it stripped from you because you are wrongfully accused of bullying a swan

Dance on the Moon or fly close to the sun?
-
Dance with the devil in the pale earthlight.
Be caught outside in a snowstorm or inside a populated mall - in each circumstance only in your skivvies.

Bus or train?
-
I like trains.
Be Voldemort or Vader?
-
Hmmm... Vader, better character arc there...
Dolores Umbridge or Joffrey Baratheon
-
Dolores. Nobody wants to be Joffrey.
Spock or Data?
-
My head says Data, but my heart says Spock. So Spock. yeah, Spock. He's much more cool.
Would you rather have a load of money* but you have to permanently move to Chile** (and never leave) - or you can do what you want, but you can never earn more than a low income***
* Like, 3 million USD, 2 million GBP / EUR
**Unless you are from Chile, in which case: South Korea
*** like 12k USD, 9k GBP / EUR per year****
**** These conversions are rough guesses by the way
-
The second, I like doing whatever I want... :)
Ancient church or old castle?
-
Definitely old castle
Theater or movies?
-
Theatre, I've enjoyed the plays I've seen in the last few months more than most of the films...
Wasps or mosquitoes?
-
Mosquitoes, wasps are pure evil.
Greek or Roman history?
-
Mosquitoes, wasps are pure evil.
I dunno - mosquito bites hurt less but I get a LOT more of them.
Greek History, always Greek.
*shakes angry Punic fist at the Romans*
-
I would rather angry Punic fist
Would you rather have a bunch of flowers for hair or feathers
-
Feathers :) Flowers might be kinda cool though, I think it may depend on the feather colour and flower species I was allowed.
Would you rather graphs or spreadsheets?
-
Depends on what they're needed for... but usually spreadsheets.
Would you rather have a brilliant soundtrack that accompanied your life that only you could hear (you can turn it on or off), or your favourite musician writes a famous song dedicated to you.
-
The soundtrack... Hearing the Imperial March every time I'd enter a room would be awesome, even if only I could hear it... :) Although, I could name you a couple of songs about me... ;)
Arthur or Merlin?
-
Merlin :) (A shock, I'm sure)
Easter Island or St Helena?
-
St. Helena - there's a really old Napoleon-obsession hiding behind that... :)
Morgana or Guinevere?
-
Guinevere.
Cherokee or Iroquois?
-
Iroquois. They were the large tribe in my area if I remember my history correctly. *edit: Were they a large group of tribes? I really should go back and learn more about native history because I'm sure what our curriculum did teach us was incredibly biased
Westworld or Shogunworld
-
Yes I believe they were a confederacy of tribes.
Westworld.
Sioux or Apache?
-
Sioux
Aztec or Inca?
-
Aztec.
Mayan or Olmec?
-

Stressful excitement, always. My brain needs stimulation...
Arctic or tropic weather?
-
Tropic.
Stranded in the middle of the desert or middle of the ocean?
-
Ocean.
Would you rather fight 100 duck sized horses or 1 horse sized duck
-
The little ones. Those legs would be like mechanical pencil graphite.

I think trapped in space. Might have a better view.
Would you rather own half a square km of land in the middle of the Atacama desert or once a day for 2 minutes you can turn into a chicken
-
CHICKEN POWER
Constantly mildly painful heart, stomach, and intestines, incurably, or painlessly lose a limb of your choice?
-
Since I've already seen what the other stuff looks like, I'll go for the second option... Does my left little toe count? It currently hurts in my shoe, so I'd love to be rid...
Have a sword or a spear?
-
I'm fairly sure that's a digit not a limb - sorry!
I'd like to own a sword - I might rather fight with a spear, but I'd rather have the sword, they're a lot cooler.
Hand cannon or arbalest?

Big fan of the arbalest and any crossbow related thing.

-
Crows
Regular crows or hooded crows?

Would you rather invent faster than light travel or a food replication device
-
Depends what inputs the FRP needs - if it's a "feed the world for free", then that, if it's just "you can replicate the taste of anything but it takes inputs", then I'll go for the FTL travel.
Glaive-guisarme or poleaxe?
-
You were right to ask, you would have needed to use all of the resources on Earth to generate 1 grain of rice.
I will choose Glaive-guisarme since it's got more pointy bits
Mortal Kombat or Tekken
-
Yoshimitsu or Mokujin?
-
Mokujin, but that's purely based on the words as I don't know what the things are.
Wool or linen?
-
You chose the wooden log man, so you chose right.
Linen.

Liberty city. Cos muh freedoms.

Would you rather have the power to make anyone's hair flap about in amusing ways from any distance, or do a completely flawless impression of Morgan Freeman
-
Hmm, the hair thing I think? I bet I could adapt it as a means of long distance communication.
Eriador or Rhovanion?
-
I think Rhovanion had more going on.
You go a road trip that lasts for eternity. Would you rather have a brilliant sound track that never got old, but have nothing but nutritious, but nevertheless boiling and foul tasting tar dripping endlessly into your mouth to sustain you. Or have your favourite snacks and drinks but have to listen to "can you feel the force" by the real thing on repeat
-
The latter I think, boiling tar sounds really horrible and there are (having gone and tracked "can you feel the force" down on YT) considerably worse songs out there. It would still drive me mad, of course, but even so, I think I'd last longer with that than with the tar.
Drawing or painting?
-
Paint.
Dirty Harry or Clean Bob?
-
Dirty Harry
meghan markle or a ford megane
-
Uh, kind of depends on the circumstances? If I get to own one, the ford, because slavery is wrong. If I'm inviting one round for tea, Meghan, because I don't have petrol in the cupboard for the car and I don't know what kind of biscuits cars like.
Rose lemonade or Dandelion & Burdock?
-
Rose lemonade, my mum made that once and it was delicious. Rose jam is more exquisit though...
Gingerbread or Chestnuts?
-
Hm, probably gingerbread, though I must admit I've not eaten chestnuts nearly enough.
Echidnas or Porcupines?
-
Porcupines, the shipper in me is waiting for it to be Newt's patronus... :)
HP or Lenovo?

HP, Lenovo was a considerably less good wizard :P
Tom Lehrer or Flanders & Swann?
-
Based on a quick google, and as such based on appearance alone: Tom Lehrer.
Would you rather that you had a breeze block instead of a shoulder, or around every tenth poop instead of normal it was a medium sized pine cone.
-
Neither sounds pleasant, but I feel like the pine cone might be less debilitating? Or at least would kill me faster from blood loss.
Try to get to sleep with a very noisy appliance in the next room that you can do nothing about, or a bouncy and intermittently whiny dog in the same room who you can at least attempt to give commands to?
-
The appliance, mainly because I'm used to the street and my neighbors, so I guess it wouldn't make lots of a difference, whereas the dog could actually bounce on my bed and stuff...
Would you rather always be faar too emotional in every situation, which ends up causing fights with everyone, because they don't understand why you're so upset all the time, or be overly analytic and never have any emotions, causing everyone to be angry and annoyed with you and refusing to talk to you cause they don't understand how you can be so apathetic all the time?
-
People who's emotional processing is destroyed by damage to the relevant brain area are basically unable to make any real decisions and there lives fall apart so I'd go for the first I think. And then maybe just live in a smallholding far away from people.
Would you rather be a beloved dog owned by a good family or a wolf in the wild?
-
I would be a Good Dog. It would be warm and I would get hugs and it would be nice.
Spend a day in a pretty city, but you're on your own and it's freezing, or spend your day at a conference, but you only understand 30% of the talks?
-
I've done both, and can say with confidence that I preferred spending a day in a pretty city, on my own and it was freezing*
Would you rather discover you were in a game concocted by jigsaw (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jigsaw_(Saw_character)), or in a Romero style zombie apocalypse
* Much colder than I had become accustomed to
-
Difficult - I'd be more personally relieved to be in the zombie apocalypse, as I'd always prefer a fighting chance and don't like psychological horror at all. On the other hand, if I were to choose one or the other to happen to me, I'd be morally obliged to pick the horror game, because at least that only affects me rather than involving huge numbers of people getting killed by zombies.
Would you rather have a waist-length beard or a really nice top hat?
-
Since I have always wanted to be a wise wizard, I'll take the fabulous beard please... :P
Would you rather go to the Tropics in the middle of Summer or to Antarctica in the middle of Winter?

Ooh, difficult. If I can get to choose where in the tropics, then the tropics, because there's more interesting historical stuff there.
Penguins or Porcupines?
-
Porcupines... Tina Goldstein for the win!
Angels or Demons?
-
Fallen Angels.
Would you rather eat a juicy slice of Jabba the Hutt or have to fight the Rancor with a stick?

Grindlemort.
Mort Goldman or Kirk Van Houten?
-
Goldman.
Atlantic Ocean or Irish Sea?

Atlantic Ocean
Be haunted by a scary ghost or anger a demon
-
The scary ghost. There are better protocols for getting rid of them, and it's not like I can sleep anyway.
Befriend a cyclops or a centaur?
-
Centaur. A) They are great archers (meaning they super don't care about physics - awesome), B) Second coolest way to get from place to place, after a dragon, C) Their blood is a great way to set people on fire without getting done in for arson and D) Stargazing just got waays more interesting... ;D

Witches.
Mice or mooses?
-
Mooses.
Porcupines or Tenrecs?

Real life, for some reason, hell knows why though.
Exilian or Not Exilian?
-
(I asked around and hell doesn't know why, maybe try heaven next time... :P)
Exilian, since well, I'm still on this site after all...
Breakfast or Dinner?
-
I don't think heaven wants me at this point, I'm too awkward and ask all the wrong questions..
Dinner, because it's late breakfast time now and I really don't feel like eating so hopefully later will be better.
-
(Great, but me not eating is a problem, is it?)
And I guess I pick option b, sounds gar more fun... ;D
Eveningstar or Morningstar?
-
(Yes. Me not eating is also a problem, eating is good.)
Also, morningstar, you can't hit people nearly so effectively with an eveningstar.
Rice or Pasta?
-
(This is me not contributing anything useful to the parenthetical conversation.)
Pasta.
Rice-A-Roni or Hamburger Helper?
-
Hamburger I guess?
Eagles or Condors?
-
Eagles... Ravenclaw has one, Austria has one and I know where my allegiances lie... ;D
"In the Hall of the Mountain King" or "Morning" by Edvard Grieg?
-
Hall of the Mountain King :)
Green tea or Fruit tea?
-
You know I need mor information for that... On principle, fruit tea, but that is dependable on time of day, emotional and phydicsl state, and the blend of tea we are talking about...

-
Cedar :)
Oak or Ash or Apple?
-
Oak.
Maple or Beech or Hickory?
-
Beech

Exhaustion, hypothermia doesn't leave a pretty corpse...

-
Poisoned.
Electrocuted or burned?
-
Burned. At least is warms.
Hibernate or sleep lots and lots through winter?
-
If I could afford it I'd love to try hibernating through the winter... unfortunately the need for cash and the film "click" makes me think sleeping more than normal would be the better option.
Hairy palms or voice like bane from that batman film
-
I can shave the palms I guess.
No Christmas, or Christmas but you have to spend a whole week in advance wandering badly organised department stores?
-
No Christmas.
Die now or spend many years being miserable and die anyway?
-
Spend many years being miserable. You can be miserable and still do useful and worthwhile stuff.
Ravens or Writing Desks?
-
Ravens, I have a desk and I am missing Hugin and Munin...
Hugin or Munin?
-
I think as a historian I'm obliged to say Munin...
Fire or Radiator?
-
Fire... More alive... More destructive... Also, chaotic, untamable and gets out of control quickly - oh, but hey, that's meee! :P
Jumper or blanket?
-
Blanket. Is bedtime.
Hugs or high fives?
-
Hugs. They're the only human interaction I can master well...

Christmas Tree or Christmas Dinner?
-
Christmas Tree. No one ever judges me for eating/not eating it...
Pistachios or Almonds?
-
Almonds pls
narcissism or arrogance?
-
Arrogance. You can recover from that, narcissism screws you up for life much more.

-
Hell. By all means. :P
Saxons or Danes?

Eh, Saxons.
East Angles or Mercians?

East Angles.

Broads, because in North America that means women. :)

Work for Donald Trump or John Dillinger
-
Trump. Dillinger got his ass blasted outside that theater in Chicago.
Work for Al Capone or Pablo Escobar?
-
Al Capone I guess?
Work for Pompey or work for Crassus?
-
I like Pompeii... It was quite nice there, before that little incident with the volcano...
To study or not to study, that is the question
-
"Whether 'tis nobler to suffer the slings and arrows of the textbook..."
I guess it turns out I would rather study, given the PhD thing.
Tea or tea? (Choose wisely).
-
Tea with a capital T, for it is a most capital thing!!!
Sleep, or To-Do-list?
-
Sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep
House of Generals or House of the Phoenix?
-
Generals of course.
Run for election in a city or simply conquer it?
-
Either is cumbersome, and I'd rather not bother, but I guess election... Less chance of being overthrown and loosing my head over it...
Freud or Saussure?
-
Saussure, because it sounds more like a form of french cooking.
Quarequares or Kinklades?
-
Kinklades :D
Overly needy cat or can never find your keys when you need them and must spend 3 minutes searching
-
I am an overly needy cat....
Hurting soles on both feet so you can barely walk or really bad headache?
-
Foot problems, at least then I can sit and read a book.
Chocolate or Toffee?
-
Chocolate toffees, of course!
Breakfast or Lunch?
-
Lunch, I keep not feeling like breakfast lately. :/
Artificial intelligence or human foolishness?
-
(Oh, so not feeling like breakfast is fine, when it's you, but it's a problem when I do it?)
AI... I have learnt human stupidity is an infinite source of my misery...
Honour or Vengence?
-
I'm acknowledging that it is a problem when I do it, that was my point...
Honour I guess? I'm not very attached to either concept.
Curl up and be sad, or try and keep working in a grey depressive haze?
-
Keep working, self-pity has never got anyone anywhere...
Self-pity or self-doubt?
-
Self pity
Have Elon Musk or Banksy as a close relative
-
Elon Musk. More of an embarrassment, but also more chance of getting funding for things.
Henry V or Love's Labours Lost?
-
Heinrich der funf.
Ohio in winter or New Zealand in the summer? (Someone I know already made this decision :P)
-
New Zealand in the summer sounds nice :) Is that the decision the person you know made?
Be Theresa May for the next 3 months or change your name by deed poll to Waspy McWaspington and have to shake a wasps nest once a week for the next 3 months
-
Be Theresa May. I dislike wasps, and I could actually start fixing our screw-up of a country whilst pretending to be its Prime Minister.
Laptop or tablet?
-
@Tusk no, they chose the other xD
Tablet I guess.
Firestick or Roku?
-
Firestick? Dunno what those are.
Pochard or Gadwall?
-
Didn't know what those are, but after a quick image search I have decided to choose Pochard for it's more distinctive colour pattern
Skiing or rock climbing
-
Skiing, I'm Austrian...
Tennis or Volleyball?
-
Tennis!
Judo or Karate?
-
Karate!
8 or 9?
-
Eight.
Be hunted by a wolf pack or be hunted by a lion pride?
-
Wolf pack, they're more reasonable and I can talk them down... ;D
Kore or Persephone?
-
Persephone is a nicer name, I think :)
The Misty Mountains or the Blue Mountains?
-
(It does mean "to bring about death", so well duh it's a fab name!!!)
Misty Mountains (queue Ed Sheeran singing somewhere in the background...)
Be Zeus or Hades?
-
Hades. If Erebus suddenly has a large population of dwarves, you'll know what happened.
Bears or Tigers?
-
(Right answer... Zeus is a - unleashes string of censored curse words)
Bears, I like Atalanta...
Olympus or Elysium?
-
I mean, Hades is hardly perfect either... it's easy with Greek myth to do the "oh but this guy's OK, he only committed a small fraction of the number of rapes and arbitrary murders that Zeus did!"
Olympus. The place needs someone with slightly more morality and decency than the current occupants, and whilst I don't think I'm the best person for that job, better me than nobody!
Towels or Bowels?
-
Well, depending on honuch agency you let Persephone have, he didn't commit any rapes, was never unfaithful to his wife and the really sadistic Tartarus stuff is all on Zeus, Hades just supervises... His punishments are stuff like glueing someone to a chair with snakes, and that guy really deserved it...
Towels, so I can wipe up the guy I disem-boweled... (laughs about own joke)
Plans or dreams?
-
There are a lot of variants of the Persephone story in which it's pretty clearly rape. You can pick the ones or rewrites where it isn't, but if you're going to do that then why not do it for any other God? Secondly, "I was just supervising" is not an excuse for torture (again, you can justify it in myths with "but it's OK, they're gods/the moral code is different", but then again you could do that for all the deities).
Dreams. Always. :)
sh or gh?
-
He's still got the moral high ground over like 98% of men in greek mythology...
Hrsh
Ph or th
-
Ph, because th should be a thorn, it's a good letter.
Light or darkness?
-
Darkness, because Light cannot exist without darkness, and without the night we would never see the stars... :)
James Bond or Ethan Hunt?
-
James Bond.
Martini shaken, or stirred?
-
Stirred, if you shate it, the ice melts and you have watered down alcohol, what kind of peasant orders their martini watered down? Answer: probably a light-weight wannabe....
Garlic or onions?
-
GARLIC ALL THE GARLIC ALWAYS
Chocolate or Jam?
-
Chocolate, always...
Food or sleep?
-
Gosh that's a tricky one. If I could do away with one forever (and not die) then sleep, since then there's plenty of time to do things in. So I choose food.
Would you rather be Atlas or Sisyphus
-
Atlas of course. If you're going to be perpetually condemned to an awful task, make it a good one that helps everyone (holding the sky up) not "rolling a rock up a hill arbitrarily forever".
Be an owl or a hawk
-
Atlas of course. If you're going to be perpetually condemned to an awful task, make it a good one that helps everyone (holding the sky up) not "rolling a rock up a hill arbitrarily forever".
Although you would get a breather when it rolls down again, before having to start over
Hawk! Just because it's associated with more cool human world things. In terms of owl benefits I can see being nocturnal; being able to rotate my head very far; and people assuming I was wise would all be good virtues. But then, there was never an "owl the slayer", or "owleye".
Fishing or Kayaking
-
Kayaking, I have done that successfully before for a few times... The one time I went fishing went down terribly...
Palmoil or Soy?
-
Soy? Maybe? I don't really know.
Explosion or implosion?
-
Exlosion, cooler cinematic shot if you walk away from it... :P
Missile or Bomb?
-
Missile, it's like a bomb with a travel plan!
Spatula or spork?
-
Spatula, better sound pattern... :)
Tea or biscuits
-
TEA
Biscuits are good too, but TEA
Monitor lizard that behaved like a lap-cat, or lap-cat that behaved like a monitor lizard?
-
To me I think a monitor Lizard behaving like a lap cat sounds like more fun than a cat strutting around, looking askance at things and going "mlem" with it's tongue a lot
One more day of weekend or one less weekday
-
More weekend. More time. Always more time.
Headache or backache?
-
Backache. I can lie down on my bed and work on... Headache will keep me from working until I have cured it, and that will take some time, which I don't have...
Paper stress or work stress?
-
Paper stress. There are good reasons why I don't have a 9-5 job.
Goose or gander?
-
Goose.
Black or white?
-
Black I think? I don't really have much opinion on those two colours.
Hopefulness or incisive reasoning?
-
Reasoning. Hope has been getting the better of me for pretty mucb all my existence and that's maybe not as great as it sounds..
Silence or Sleep?
-
Sleeeeeeeeep.
Forests or shores?
-
Forest. All the shore holds is longing and the empty promise of a better world beyond the horizon. The forest is home...
Daisy or dandelion
-
I choose Dandelions! They are brighter, used as an ingredient, and get a fun ball of seed parachutes once they're done flowering.
Book shop or library
-
I've always wanted my own private library...
Chocolate cake or gummybears?
-
Cake, gummy bears are too gelatinous and artificial tasting.
Rest and healing but incapacitation, or getting things done and pain?
-
I would recommend the former, however I have known you for long enough to know it won't make a difference..
Oatmeal biscuits or walnut cookies?
-
Everything's better with walnuts.
Scales or spines?
-
I'd certainly like to see more people grow a spine...
Blue or grey sky?
-
Blue, it's a nicer colour.
Robin or Greenfinch?
-
Greenfinches. Robins can be pretty boisterous or downright nasty sometimes when it comes to territorial affairs, although I do prefer their aesthetic.
spectre at the feast or elephant in the room?
-
Elephant in the room, you're a much better guest than the average spectre :)
Palaiologan or Komnenian dynasties?
-
Komnenian, the Palaiologian politics and infighting where the reason for the sack of Constantinople in 1204, which was super stupid, since after that the whole Empire never really found its footing again...
Tywin Lannister or Doran Martell?
-
I instantly did a prefer for Doran Martell when I was watching the shows because the actor also plays Doctor Bashir in DS9 which I am currently plodding my way through and enjoying. But also if it weren't for that reason I think I prefer the character as well.
Ring of Brodgar (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_of_Brodgar) or Ġgantija (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%A0gantija)
-
Ring of Brodgar because it doubles up as a potentially cool RPG artefact name.
Cyril or Methodius?
-
I had a bit of a read of their wikipedia page, and there seems to be a "Methodius alone" section, but not a Cyril alone one, so Methodius.
monster trucks or destruction derby
-
Monster Trucks. With real monsters.
Eagles or Falcons?
-
Falcons, because there is a falcon subspecies called a Merlin and Merlin is awesome!
Sirens or Mermaids?
-
Sirens. Mermaids don't let you know in advance when a police car is on its way.
Bats or Badgers?
-
(Since when are you the one who needs to be warned of police cars?)
Badgers, I like Hufflepuffs, and Batman is a douche...
Fire or Water
-
I am torn, but must choose water
lasagne or bolognese
-
Bolognese
Viennese or Salzburger?
-
I am part Viennese, and know where my loyalties lie...
Bread or Toast?
-
Bread, though I actually eat toast more.
Hills or flat?
-
Hills!
Rustic or modern?
-
Rustic. More opportunities to use wood which I like
Spend a day on a beach or in a forest
-
I could go for a beach. I spend most days in/around the forest.
Roaring 20's or Swinging 60's?
-
60s.
The Mighty Manticore or the Malevolent Morglathax?
-
Mighty Manticore!
George Weasley or Rubeus Hagrid
-
Hagrid.
George Costanza or Kelsey Grammar?
-
Costanza.
Herbs or spices?
-
Spices please
Floating city or subterranean labyrinth
-
Ooh, both sound cool. I'll go with labyrinth though.
Paperwork or Other Paperwork
:(
-
Paperwork, hands down
Beer or Cider?
-
Cider!
Bow tie or tie fighter?
-
To own? Tie fighter. To wear to a dinner party? Also tie fighter.
Get a nice antique oak desk or have lunch with Barack Obama
-
Lunch with Obama. I already have a serviceable, albeit less nice, desk, and I don't know what I'd do with a second one. And Obama seems like he'd be an interesting guy to chat to.
Jo Swinson or Ed Davey (the big question in Lib Dem world right now!)
-
Jo Swinson - I get the (completely uneducated) feeling she would do better
Would you rather that every time you saw someone you had to do a rude gesture at them, or vice versa
-
Vice versa. (Also, your uneducated feelings are probably right).
Bittern or Egret?
-
Egret.
Boomdakka snazzwagon or Shokkjump Dragsta
-
The snazzwagon!
Cloud or airship?
-
Airship.
Coconut or Pineapple?
-
Pineapple!
Buzzard or Goshawk?
-
Buzzard pls
Kingfisher or Hummingbird
-
Hummingbird :) Though that is a tough one!
Rat or mouse
-
I was about to say rat, because they are cute and brainy. But then I remembered the various real and fictional horror stories involving rats, so have changed my mind to mouse.
Would you rather that someone delivered a perfect replica the titanic to your house tomorrow for you to do with as you please (or as you are able, considering you'll need to get it to the sea and moor it somewhere), or the Bismarck
-
The titanic. Much comfier.
Would you rather attempt to handwrite formally in a new alphabet despite the fact you can't do in your native one, or try to pronounce words in the relevant language despite the fact you have no idea how to physically form the required mouth shapes? (I may be doing both :/)
-
I suppose the latter, since the worst that is happening is your mouth looks a bit odd. I don't think that is an issue for someone speaking in not their native language in my opinion! (hope you get it)
Would you rather never be allowed to use anything as a towel again and have to drip dry whenever you are wet, or you can only wear Christmas jumpers on your top half - the kind that have little flashing LED's going all the time
-
The latter of course - since I didn't want to wear Christmas jumpers on my bottom half anyway :P
Yellowhammer or Redstart?
-
I think I'll punt for Redstart
Your favourite Games workshop offering - or Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone Fighting Fantasy books
-
Mordheim all the way it is.
GURPS or Savage Worlds?
-
Savage worlds.
Cake or chocolate bar
-
Cake, I think. Though it's nonspecific about the cake type and the chocolate bar type and those make a lot of difference.
Last of the Mohicans or Treasure Island?
-
Treasure Island.
Dread Pirate Roberts or Jack Sparrow
-
Dead Pirate Roberts, no contest.
FLEE FOR YOUR LIFE or RETURN TO FACE THE BOVINATING PLAGUE THAT TURNS YOU INTO A COW
-
I am fine as a non-cow entity, thanks. I choose FLEE FOR YOUR LIFE
Would you rather....
1. Every 3 months you can go back in time and have a one-hour conversation with the historical figure of your choice, in the setting and context of your choosing (being able to understand each other perfectly).
The cost of this power is that when you are in the present a tearful person will forever more follow you around, looking very concerned at you as if you are terribly upset but are managing to bear it well. Generally, they will keep their distance but from time to time they'll come over with a hanky and dab it at your eyes as if they have just managed to prevent a sudden upwelling of tears and blow their own nose. If someone asks you or them what is wrong, they won't speak, but begin to noisily weep and break down as though the very thought of it can't bear repeating - and the asker should know better than to bring it up. You will not be able to tell anyone what is going on.
or
2. Once per day you must summon 500g to 1kg of 1 item of food. For example, some truffles, pastries, carrots, rice or anything. Full meals don't count. They can be cooked or uncooked and must be consumed by you.
The cost of this power is that the food item is brought to you by a very swarthy looking person. They will follow you around for 10 of your waking hours. You will need to share the food with them. They will evilly chuckle and look at you knowingly (and the food whilst it is near you) as if to suggest that there is something very sinister about what you have done or where the food came from. If anyone asks you or them what they are doing there they will laugh in quite a maniacal fashion and look from you to them in astonishment that you haven't explained what's going on. You will not be able to tell anyone what is going on.
-
Power 1. Makes my job easier, and I can deal with "permanently kinda sad" better than the awkwardness of sinister.
Rock Golem, Metal Golem, Folk Golem or Freestyle Rap Golem?
-
Bach Golem?
Blanket forts or pillow fights?
-
Blanket forts. I am very much a defensive strategist by nature.
Folklore or folk music?
-
That's tough to answer - would I rather what about them?
Is it: what's your favourite out of listening to someone reading aloud folklore based facts / stories, or listening folk music?
Similarly is it: are you interested more in history or music? I suppose I probably listen to more music than I do read about history.
However if it's: what would you rather have, assuming the other ceased to exist then I'd go with folklore since it regards the historical background of a community. As such underpins what folk music is.
Someone that is a pedant or someone that is lackadaisical
-
Right now, the latter, I am too tired for pedantry.
Have a horn in the middle of your forehead, or have a tail like a beaver's?
-
Tail. Might be useful for balance or swimming or something.
Jam up your nose or peanut butter in one ear
-
I think jam up my nose, as it'd be easier to remove (by blowing my nose) whereas you might need to use a pressurised water jet to clean the ear if it was really blocked, and I'd rather not have to go through that again.
Your saliva turns into good quality mead when you spit it, or your phlegm turns into golden syrup when you blow your nose?
-
I prefer golden syrup, it's useful as an ingredient in a lot of recipes. I think that I could get over the grossness of how I obtained the golden syrup if it's hidden in a cake mix or something.
Gordon Ramsey or Jamie Oliver
-
Gordon Ramsey, the voice of Captain Avatar in the 1970s-80s US version of Star Blazers? Absolutely that guy!
Outer space or inner space?
-
inner space for nostalgic reasons.
Dwayne "the rock" Johnson, Alcatraz (aka "the rock"), or an actual rock
-
Actual rock. I like rocks.
Sashes or bandoliers?
-
bandoliers I think
Coffee or Tea?
-
Teeeeeeeeeeeea
One decent sized chocolate chip cookie, or a 2kg jar of raisin cookies?
-
2kg jar of raisin cookies!
Flying Fortress or "Avro" Lancaster
-
Flying fortress :)
Fiddle or violin?
-
Fiddle!
Gulf of Thailand or Andaman Sea?
-
Andaman Sea
Tang Dynasty or Song Dynasty?
-
Tang. From what little I have read the general consensus seems to be that China under the Tang dynasty heralded a period described as "glistening" and "glorious".
Successful completion of ITER (or Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak or other promising startups) and widespread adoption of fusion reaction energy... or ubiquitous replacement of traditional combustion engine vehicle manufacturing and use, with electric.
-
I think I've got to go for fusion power. Much larger long term solution, and ultimately will underpin eventually achieving the second part and also make rail cleaner and much much more besides.
Be governed by the parliament of a randomly selected country from among the UN member states, or be governed by a parliament of owls?
-
I must go with owls, since the UN member states includes the UK and there is a chance that we might pick them. If you meant after the election - when presumably the new government is formed parliament is reconvened, then I also go with owls
Boneitis or spontaneous dental hydroplosion
-
The latter, I think?
Paris or Rouen?
-
Rouen, since I don't think I have been there.
Ghosts or Gremlins
-
Gremlins :)
Pullman's Iorek Byrnison, or Tolkien's North Polar Bear?
-
I had more enjoyment hearing about Iorek Byrnison, I have to admit.
John Denver or Lynard Skynard?
-
John Denver because he seems to be spelt right.
Own a tiny, house-trained woolly mammoth, or a capybara big enough to ride upon?
-
I think I am obliged to opt for the mammoth. That would be a very awesome pet.
You find yourself abandoned and lost in the yukon. Would you rather have a rubiks cube or a 3 juggling balls?
-
Rubiks cube, given my lack of hand-eye coordination that's the one I'm more likely to be able to learn.
Have to wear a full medieval jester costume one day a week, or have to wear a medieval forester/more everyday costume for six days a week?
-
Full medieval jester costume one day a week. Then it fits in to my usual plans
Go for a milkshake with Donald Trump or smoothie with George Bush Jr.
-
Smoothie with Dubya is a win-win - I like smoothies much more than milkshakes, and, as much as I don't think I ever imagined saying this in 08/09, Dubya was actually a better president than his GOP successor, which given how low he set the bar is really pretty eye-opening.
You will get an unspecified quantity of coins, and must choose whether to get chocolate coins or real coins. The value of the coins will be the same monetarily whatever you select: you don't know how many coins you will get, or any further details about type, chocolate variety, denomination, or currency. Chocolate or real?
-
Given the chance that there might be loads of coins, I would opt for real. I would not want warehouses stuffed with chocolate coins I couldn't shift before they went mouldy...
Flip Flops or Sandals?
-
Sandals, they might stay on at least and the bit between your toes in flip-flops is odd at times.
Feed the crows or feed the fishes?
-
Is this literally which animal would I rather give food to? Then fishes. If there is a more sinister idiom for "feed the crows" then I don't know what that means so I'll take a punt on that since feed the fishes definitely means: deadtimes.
H.G. Wells or Jules Verne
-
Jules Verne, I think.
Monotheletism or Monoenergism
-
Well, I like to go along with the majority. So I will choose Monotheletism, since it has 6300 results from a Bing search, compared to 5280 for the other one. Skim read what they mean and that probably is fine. I have no strong opinions about that man.
Buddy Christ or Jesus & Mary Chain
-
Buddy Christ, because Dogma is a good film.
Odysseus or Beowulf?
-
Odysseus
Have to fight a professional boxer or have the participants on the show "jackass" play pranks on you for a day (unfilmed)
-
Probably the fight. It'd be a cool thing to say I'd done, and it wouldn't last long anyway. And I hate pranks and the anxiety of the latter would be horrible.
Pocket Universe 1: Beginnings, or Pocket Universe 2: Momentum ?
-
Pocket Universe 1: Beginnings
Catapults or Trebuchets
-
Catapults. Trebuchets have become over-memed.
Arbalest or Lián Nŭ?
-
Arbalest - prefer the name
Trebuchets or a peevish looking cat being shouted at by an upset blonde lady
-
The cat, because I want to stop it getting shouted at and give it fuss and food, which I can't really say for the trebuchet.
Vizima or Minas Tirith?
-
Minas Tirith
Doctor Robotnik or Bowser
-
Robotnik, I think :)
A fire breathing tiger, or the planet Mercury?
-
A fire breathing tiger pls.
Caves or Forests
-
Caves, at the moment. Tricky one though.
Paracetamol or ibuprofen?
-
Ibuprofen all the way
Pangolins or Georgia
-
NOOOOOOOOOOOO
...I'm going to say pangolins? Since I think one could have Kartvelian landscapes, culture and history without Georgia per se, whereas you can't have pangolins without pangolins.
Pancake day or cake day?
-
Pancake day!
Have Leonardo Da Vinci paint your portrait or be the main character in one of the Canterbury tales (I'm not sure of the logistics of this, let's say a one off time travel event where you bomerang back for a couple of weeks)
-
I think the Canterbury tale sounds more fun.
Go monster hunting with Geralt of Rivia or Van Helsing?
-
Ooooo I think I might enjoy hunting with Van Helsing more.
Articulate or Taboo
-
Taboo, staple round format of Oxford-Cambridge Tolkien quizzes as it is :)
Small ceramic tortoise or small metal game-bird?
-
I think a small metal game-bird would please me most. Is that a reference to anything btw?
snowdrop meadow or bluebell wood
-
Bluebell wood, I like trees :)
:ghulam: or :ashigaru: ?
-
I'm gonna pick the weird wizard...
black dice or white dice?
-
Neither was meant to be a wizard, I apparently did not make them so well...
Black dice, I prefer reading light colours on dark background. As you may have noticed from this forum's colour scheme.
-
I choose because of it's air of mystery.
A nice mechanical pencil or nice fountain pen?
-
Mechanical pencil, lower explosion risk. Jubal's law of pens: if it can get ink everywhere, it will get ink everywhere.
The moon or the stars?
-
The stars :)
Pandas or Koalas?
-
Pandas, because they're not drop bears in disguise.
For an antipodean theme on Anzac Day: "the vision splendid of the sunlit plains extended" or "the wond'rous glory of the everlasting stars"?
-
I like the sound of the vision splendid of the sunlit plains extended.
Almonds or Macadamia nuts
-
Macadamia!
Lute or Fife
-
Fife - there's no Kingdom of Lute that I know of, nor even a county of that name.
Bacon butty or burger?
-
Bacon butty! Not to be shared with any Liberal Democrat Councillors at present under any circumstances :P
Carpenter bee or beefly?
-
Carpenter bee. We have lots of them in our woodpiles and I love them.
Purple or Calendar
-
Purple. I don't like calendars.
Molotov cocktail or prawn cocktail?
-
Prawn cocktail: I know how to make one, and I won't get horribly burnt if I try to eat it.
Anduin or Sirion?
-
Sirion, before the world was marred and the lands lost under wave.
Get the power to turn into a woolly mammoth, or the power to turn into a triceratops?
-
Triceratops, I think; woolly mammoths would probably not cope well with current UK conditions.
Hobnobs or Jaffa cakes?
-
Hobnobs. I don't care about the jaffa cake biscuit/cake debate at all, but I do care that they're kind of mediocre, whereas hobnobs are excellent.
Suddenly turn irreversibly purple, or suddenly have a nose (which will continue to remain attached and more or less function) made of gold?
-
Gold nose, to avoid the inevitable Thanos / Barney / [insert purple character pigeonholing here] nicknames
Win a Grand Piano or 3 washing machines
-
A grand piano. My washing machine has plenty of warranty and I don't need to open a laundrette. I'd struggle with where to put a grand piano, mind.
Butterflies or songbirds?
-
Butterflies. The look quite nice and don't make a bloody racket first thing in the morning! *old man grumbling*
To as bad as the seagulls, mind.
Seagulls or cockrels?
-
Seagulls :)
The Greenpeace Empire of Carthage, or Wibulnubniblia (No Marcuses Allowed)?
-
Carthage, definitely. My name is too close to "Marcus" for me to be allowed Wibulnubniblia.
Spaghetti or fusilli?
-
Fusili, definitely. Not a huge spaghetti fan (I'll eat it very happily, but I'll go for other pasta shapes first). Fusili is basically my staple diet pasta.
Crocodiles or zombie pirates controlled by parasitic catfish?
-
Crocodiles - parasitised things just make my skin crawl. And it's not like choosing a thing here means I actually have to do anything with it, is it?
Dragons or unicorns?
-
Dragons!
Catnip or dognip
-
Catnip because it's an actual thing.
Snakes or lizards?
-
I think I prefer lizards
Be cursed with having a dead pixel on any screen / monitor you ever use again (even when it technically should not be able to have one) or a crack on any bit of crockery / glassware you ever use again
-
Dead pixel. As long as it's on a big enough monitor I'll hardly notice it, whereas crockery cracks are risky.
Whittle mallards with the Dark Secret, or do SCIENCE with Professor McBlusterFluff's Highly Trained Titmouse?
-
They both sound pretty nice, but I feel starved of fun so I will choose SCIENCE with Professor McBlusterFluff's Highly Trained Titmouse
Raisins or sultanas?
-
Sultanas. No raisin ever successfully ran the Maldives.
Joy or happiness?
-
Happiness, since it strikes me as being a state of being that might stick around a bit longer than a joyful peak. Especially if I'm picking this to be my permanent state from now on. You can't go around feeling joyful all the time can you? You'd go mad wouldn't you? Or drive others mad....
Yep, happiness.
Narnia is real or the wizarding world from Harry Potter is real?
-
Ooh, that's actually really difficult, both being interesting but also icnredibly flawed additional-world constructions. I think it depends on the question of whether just Narnia is real, or whether the full cosmology around Narnia is real. If the latter, I arguably shouldn't want Narnia to be real because in the wider Narnian cosmology, atheists are inherently unicorn murdering mouldy turnip eaters who are condemned eternally to that state after death which doesn't sound ideal. If the former, Narnia is the obvious choice, because Narnians generally don't come over and murder us over here (whereas dark wizards absolutely 100% do murder muggles).
I'll opt for Narnia being real, I think. I actually do like Narnia more as a setting.
Have all your clothes washing and ironing automatically magically done, for the rest of your life, or have a guarantee of good sleep for the rest of your life?
-
Guaranteed good sleep, absolutely - in fact I'd probably trade rather more for it given the chance.
π (pi = 3.14159...) or e (Euler's / exponential constant = 2.71828...)?
-
I always wondered what was out west of the map, and what everyday history in Narnia looks like. When there were feasts and tournaments at Cair Paravel, what did that look like?
The Wizarding World is odd because JKR can see so much about her Britain, but her stories don't ask whether those things should be changed, they take a more pessimistic view that as it was, so shall it ever be (with some fiddling at the edges like liberating a house elf or creating scholarships for poor students). Her rigid, incompetent bureaucrats promoted by the Old Boys' Network look very timely. I hear that the new films play up the imperialism and apartheid which are implicit in the setting, and someone I respect does not think they ask the right questions (JKR's's wizards don't think erasing a Muggle's memory or keeping magical healing for themselves is a big deal, but JKR is pretty clear that slavery is bad and tossing muggles around the sky for fun or murdering them to practice your curses is bad).
-
Mod note: The above discussion is now continued at https://exilian.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=6213
e because I can replace π by using tau.
Hairbrush or comb?
-
comb!
Sundried tomatoes or capers
-
Sundried tomatoes, as I'm growing a good variety for that. Though I won't actually get enough sunlight to do it, alas.
Divans or four poster beds?
-
Divan for the storage
Bran or wheat?
-
Wheat, because if it's not milled I get the bran with it.
Paris or Berlin?
-
Ooh. I've not actually been to either. I think I'll go with Paris.
Ljubljana or Bratislava?
-
I've been to Ljubljana and had a great time, so I will choose Bratislava for something different.
Be able to sing like an opera singer or dance like Fred Astaire
-
Dance, I think. Opera isn't my genre and my singing voice is passable for what I need it for, whereas the dancing would be a good party trick.
Be followed by a cloud of friendly butterflies or a cloud of friendly bees?
-
Friendly bees, it'll be one more step toward my life's goal of becoming Beorn.
Be a hobbit, or be an elf?
-
Hmm, that's actually quite difficult. I think on balance I'd be a hobbit, but it's close: being an elf would mean I wouldn't have to worry about not having enough time to get everything done in life, given the immortality bit, but at the same time I think the less human nature of them doesn't appeal to me.
Fight with a spear or with a staff?
-
Spear if I'm unlikely to have legal repercussions, maybe staff if I am, or if I have other reasons to avoid fatalateeeeeees. Spears have sharp stabby ends you see.
Oin or Gloin?
-
Shocked by the revelation that spears have stabby ends! I will pick Oin, because he had the unhappier ending and I feel sorry for him.
A world in which Covid no longer exists and nor do any alcoholic beverages, or a world that retains both Covid and booze?
-
I'm very much not a fan of Covid, so I think I'd regrettably have to take the alcoholic beverages down with it (as sad as that would make me).
A choice between some animals that always give off the impression of having a good time: capybaras or quokkas?
-
Capybaras seem more chill, I'd feel I was depressing a quokka with its manic smile whereas a capybara seems like it would just quietly understand.
Bandits or ravenous wolves?
-
Bandits. I think I would stand more of a chance with them.
count your chickens before they hatch or cry over spilt milk?
-
Count my chickens, if I'm wrong I miscounted, and I don't have any spilt milk to clear up.
Hear a tale told by an idiot, or one full of sound and fury, signifying nothing?
-
I think the tale full of sound and fury sounds like fun, I'll choose that.
Brown mushy snow or that really heavy fog that makes all your clothes damp?
-
The fog, just because I loathe brown snow.
Go to Dushanbe or go to Norwich?
