The Syndicate

That's tough, because of course we love our hikes, but at the same time she loves to run off leash. I guess, if it were up to her (rather than me) and she had to choose only one of those, I think she'd choose play in the yard. She loves to run off leash, especially if soccer balls are involved in some way. (I'd probably choose the walk myself, though.)



It's 3:00 am and you can't sleep. You have to get up at 6:00 am. Do you still try to get some sleep, or just decide to stay up?

I try to sleep.

Work odd hours or work consistent hours for slightly less pay?

When I was younger, I worked odd hours and thrived on it. Now not so much, my body wants stability. So stable hours ftw.

Best player on the worst team, or worst player on the best team?

Best player on the worst team. (Duh, I'm an Oakland A's fan )



You've got an unexpected free afternoon - finish up some work around the house, or enjoy an afternoon of leisure?

Dem games.

I'm learning to code video games though, so that's not a selfish answer.

Preach on Sunday or twerk on Saturday?

Well, the past few years I make some jerky and unattractive movements when I first wake up in the AM, so I will say twerking. I think any preaching I did might get the congregants in trouble.

Movies in a theater or your living room?

Living room. I can piss at will and drink beer. And the popcorn ain't $5.50.

Sting or Mark Knofpler?

Sting. Dire Straits always left me meh.

Jack White or Johnny Marr?

Jack White, I'll take the Lazeretto.

Would you rather run an economically successful Caribbean Island country but be high on the US's enemy list, or run a poor city-state in the deserts of the Middle East but be allied with all of your neighbors?

As a woman, I think I would have problems, both personal ethical problems, as well as external misogynist problems,running a nation in the Middle East and allying with the Saudi Royals. So I will run the US unfriendly Caribbean nation and cozy up to Cuba & the DR.

Bill Cosby; do you think he did it?

It only took a few days for the random question game to come back for the would you rather thread to start having open questions again.

Would you rather have a beer with me tomorrow watching the men's final at Roland Garros or go out for a walk, if you could? ( )

Epignosis wrote:It only took a few days for the random question game to come back for the would you rather thread to start having open questions again.

Yeah, I got them mixed up, I like random questions so much better ha ha

Go out for a walk,most sports except baseball and sports where I know the players bore me.

I may or may not have purposely bumped the random question thread to cause chaos

Totally did it. And it's just sickening.


If you could wake up tomorrow reading/speaking another language fluently, or having the ability to fly... which would you choose?

Assuming I could fly at least at normal running speed, flight.

Meet Christina Hendricks or Sean Bean?

Oh Sean Bean, I would ask him to introduce me to Faramir.

Stephen King; It or The Stand?

The Stand.

You must learn a North Germanic language, do you learn Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Icelandic, or Faroese?

Norwegian; my Moms family came from Norway, and I have a smattering, but would love to have more.

Ireland or Scotland?

Ireland, I have ancestry there.

Would you rather watch all 7 episodes of Allen Gregory plus the pilot for King Star King, or the entire first season of The Nutshack?

I had to google all three of those, I had never heard of any of them. From the looks of things I'll take the former, because Allen Gregory at least has Jonah Hill going for it and King Star King doesn't look half bad actually. The Nutshack on the other hand appears truly deplorable and I don't think I could stomach (perhaps literally) an entire season of it.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Angel? I'm referring to the shows, not the characters.

I never watched either but one of my closest friends absolutely loves Buffy, so let's go with that.

Would you rather eat sweet or savoury food for the rest of your life?

Savoury. Sweet gets monotonous and is only good in the right mood.

Rice or bread?

Rice, it has better texture, and can be seasoned much more easily than bread.

Death Metal or Elevator Music?

leetic wrote:Rice, it has better texture, and can be seasoned much more easily than bread.

Death Metal or Elevator Music?

Elevator Music. I call it "jazz."

Between the Buried and Me or Miles Davis?

Miles Davis easily.

corn tortilla or flour tortilla?

Flour tortilla. Although I'm hardly a Mexican connoisseur.

Rugby or cricket?

Rugby, cricket is Satan as you know.

American football or rest of the world football?

American.



Breaking Bad or Orange is the New Black?

Breaking Bad

Walt or Jesse?

Walt.

Vacation in Guangzhou or Hyderabad?

If you mean Hyderabad in India, then there~I would love to see India. If you mean Hyderabad in Pakistan, then Guangzhou. Pakistan is a wildly beautiful place, but I would imagine it is not the safest place for Americans to visit. Plus not sure how much I would enjoy seeing the lives of the women and girls there. So the combo of seeing something upsetting to me, with the fear of speaking up, would make that a total no go for me.

I have a love/hate with China. I think the history is compelling and the arts & many aspects of the culture are amazing; when I was a child I loved the *idea* of China. I also find, however, the general Chinese treatment of animals to be horrific & cruel. So I would probably get myself into trouble there, running about in markets screaming & trying to release animals,or trying to find bear bile farms blasting "Born Free" on my iPod. Although I would feel safer doing so there than in Pakistan.


Vacation; relaxation or adventure?

Relaxation.

Helicopter tour over NYC or an evening on a SC gambling boat?

Helicopter tour over NYC. I don't know what a gambling boat is, but I find tour rides on a water surface to be pretty meh in principle; meanwhile I do love some heights panorama.

Tabouleh or Ceasar's salad?

Ricochet wrote:Helicopter tour over NYC. I don't know what a gambling boat is, but I find tour rides on a water surface to be pretty meh in principle; meanwhile I do love some heights panorama.

Tabouleh or Ceasar's salad?

Tabouleh- I've never had it.

A gambling boat in the US is for states where gambling is illegal (although ironically, these states often have government-run lotteries ). While docked, no gaming can take place, but once in international waters, people are free to play whatever games are offered on board. Often these boats offer free drinks to participants. They also usually come with a buffet and live entertainment.

You have $100 in free chips on this boat: Do you play Craps or Roulette?

Roulette.

Bet it all on black or red?

Red. Not sure why, but I just tend to bet red in Roulette

Blackjack or Baccarat?

Blackjack.

Talkative bartender or quiet bartender?

Quiet. Just like I tip the people who cut my hair in advance not to talk to me. Not a fan of small talk with strangers.

When it comes to talking to strangers,do you like to approach, or would you rather be approached?

I'd rather approach. When I'm approached I tend to overcompensate politeness, whereas when I approach others I'm more blunt (and therefore more natural).

Would you rather rap battle Kendrick Lamar or participate in a huge fishing competition where the person who catches the second-biggest fish has to eat its entirety?

I'd feel more suited with a rap battle, which I've done before (and won- I gave this poor student a shameful nickname in the wake of my performance, I'm sad to say). Despite having grown up in the South, I've never really been fishing.

Would you rather wars be decided by national leaders in the Octagon, or by a round of Cards Against Humanity?

The Hexagon isn't really working out for us, is it? So maybe CaH.

Cube or tetrahedron?

The Triforce, baby!

Someone pulls you up on stage. Is it Mick Jagger or Bruce Springsteen?

Bruce Springsteen.

And are you the bassist or the drummer?

I can thump a mean bass.

Are we covering "Eye in the Sky" or "Day After Day (The Show Must Go On)?"

Eye in the Sky

Would you rather go to a concert of a band you love performing in a poor venue with terrible acoustics, or to a concert of a band you know very little about (but heard great things) at a fantastic venue?

Poor Venue. True love is true love.

Would you rather answer random questions with either/or, or answer "would you rather" questions with random answers?

The kind with nuts inside, preferably filberts. (random answer)

Although, it makes sense to give random answers to the random questions thread.



When going to a new place, do you prefer your directions in a map form, or listed step-by-step?

Map with landmarks, like a little line pointing to an intersection saying, "Big Red Barn".

Bless You or Gesundheit?

Gesundheit, because it's more areligious.

Terrier or German Shepherd?
