Frying.

You lose a bet: Eat hay or cat food?

Jubal

Depends how much I have to eat, I'm pretty sure I could digest cat food better than hay though the hay is more appealing.


Have a pig snout or a long snuffly desman-like nose?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

Pig snout would probably fit better into human face, but on the other hand... snuffles?

Have dragon scales or pangolin scales?

Jubal

Pangolin scales!

The Left Hand of Darkness or Always Coming Home?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

Always Coming Home, I haven't read that one yet.

Be in a folk band with a bunch of anthropomorphic seagulls or mice?

Jubal

Gulls would be hilariously chaotic but I think mice have to win for folk.

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

The Seamstress

Owls.

Write a song about Winnie the Pooh or about Piglet?

Jubal

Piglet, though I'd go for Eeyore if I had to pick one.

Lewis Carroll or CS Lewis?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

I don't know if I ever read something by CS Lewis...? I don't think so though, so I go for that one.

Try coloured pencils or oil pastels?

Jubal

Pencils.

Have a 10 percent decrease in smoking consumption but a 5 percent increase in alcohol consumption among your country's population, or vice versa, a 10 percent decrease in alcohol consumption but a 5 percent increase in smoking?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

I'd decrease both if I could because I've seen how destructive it can be, but let's say decrease alcohol consumption first.

Assuming you'd not be in danger: pet a tiger or a polar bear?

Jubal

Actually I think tiger. Big kitty!

Live in an old watermill or an old windmill?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

Watermill!

Abolish one of those forever: billionaires or patriarchy?

Jubal

Patriarchy, I think. If fewer men were busy holding screwed up views due to society's gender expectations we'd have a much better chance of doing something about the billionaires anyway.

The Little Grey Men or The Borrowers?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

I can only agree.


Had to look up both titles and since I haven't read either, it's a 50:50 thing. Maybe The Borrowers?

Live according to the teachings of Ulrica The Uncanny or follow the wisdom of Margaret The Mysterious?
