Hm, probably gingerbread, though I must admit I've not eaten chestnuts nearly enough.

Echidnas or Porcupines?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

Caradìlis

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?

Tusky

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.

Jubal

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?

Caradìlis

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?

Pentagathus

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?

Jubal

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?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

Tusky

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, or in a Romero style zombie apocalypse

* Much colder than I had become accustomed to

Jubal

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?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

Caradìlis

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?
"Those who don't beieve in magic will never find it." - Roald Dahl

Jubal

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?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

Caradìlis

Porcupines... Tina Goldstein for the win!

Angels or Demons?
"Those who don't beieve in magic will never find it." - Roald Dahl

Fallen Angels.

Would you rather eat a juicy slice of Jabba the Hutt or have to fight the Rancor with a stick?

Caradìlis

Does a lightsaber count as a stick?

Voldemort of Grindelwald?
