Would you rather?

[The Seamstress]

Pillows.

Blanket or duvet?

[Jubal]

Duvet (though of course the correct answer is "both")

Woolly mammoth or woolly rhinoceros?

[The Seamstress]

Woolly mammoth.

Marigold the flower or Marigold the bunny?

[Jubal]

The bunny, the flower won't bite me if it's offended at not being chosen.

Lime or tangerine?

[The Seamstress]

Tangerine.

Ketchup or mustard?

[Jubal]

Ketchup, most mustard is terrible (some wholegrain mustards are acceptable).


Barbecue sauce or ketchup?

[The Seamstress]

Barbecue sauce, though both are fine.

Would you rather have twice as many shirts as you currently own, or twice as many ties?

[Jubal]

Shirts. I almost never wear ties, and I nonetheless own several. I do wear shirts and go through the elbows of them rather fast.

Would you rather start modelling and painting a Warhammer army of your choice, or a model railway & surroundings of your choice?

[The Seamstress]

I know nothing about Warhammer, but I guess painting little figurines might be fun? Still, I'd go for the model railway. So many possibilities!

Would you rather win a literature/poetry nobel prize or be knighted and get your own castle/estate?

[Jubal]

Oh, the nobel prize, definitely.

Wear a silly little hat or a silly big hat?

[The Seamstress]

Hm, I think the big hat. If I have to be silly, I'll do it right.

Would you rather Vienna had canals instead of streets (like in Venice), or would you swap all asphalt/concrete for lawns?

[Jubal]

Hm, tricky, because lawns per se aren't something I actually like very much, wild grass is nice but lawn grass is often a rather dull monoculture. And if we weren't able to get rid of the cars, the middle of every street would just be a muddy quagmire anyway. Still, I think I'd like to have grass under my feet more often.

Would you rather attempt to make an accurate sculpture of a historical building, or make an accurate sculpture of a historical person?

[The Seamstress]

Person.

Would you rather become ungovernable or govern unbecomingly?

[Jubal]

I would rather become ungovernable. I may or may not have already achieved it.

Would you rather become a diplomat in Brazil or in South Africa?

[The Seamstress]

I'd rather not become a diplomat at all... But I guess Brazil? Just because it seems the more interesting country to me from a historian point of view.

Would you rather have an eagle's eyesight or a dog's sense of hearing?
