Meeting your SO somewhere, sometime

Word, brother.

And since I spend a significant amount of time being suicidal I’d say: December 21, 5:30 pm. Lucerne Switzerland, intersection of Alpenstrasse & Haldenstrasse. This works for me in three ways:

  • Mrs. Montoya would never guess it, so she gets smoked
  • It’s where/when I began a romantic interest that I wish I’d followed through with
  • I’d finally get to get off this rollercoaster

Yes we would.

I just called the husband and asked him this question. He hung up on me, so I’m going to guess we’d both say now, home.

My husband and I are too but then again, I said July 4, 1776 in Philly. I’d rather be dead then stuck with him another day.

No, but I did tell him about it, and told him to say “Christmas, at home” if we were ever in this kind of situation. :slight_smile: Christmas is easy to remember.

But are we captured in the same place? Because if we’re captured and dragged far away, in different time zones, then saying “tomorrow” might be a problem if one of us is past midnight already!

Ignoring that fact for a second, though, I’d say “tomorrow, his place”. I wonder what he’d say. We don’t live together, and we it’s hard to say what “anniversary” of ours is most important. Not to mention the fact that choosing any day besides tomorrow just keeps us apart - and imprisoned - longer. I’d better ask him what his answer would be. Can’t hurt to be prepared!

I did ask, and we are okay on home for location. Unfortunately, I didn’t frame the question very well, so there was a lot of back and forth. He said he’d say “home,” but then right away mentioned that if he were released, for example, near my office, he’d just go to my office. I tried to explain that he had to pick ahead of being released. On date, I was operating with the belief that you had to pick some sort of month/day combination – what if you didn’t know today’s date? (like maybe when you are kidnapped you are kept sedated or something like that). He kept saying he would ask someone what day it was before answering. Then he wanted to know who kidnapped us, and why, and also if there would be charges pressed.

Overall, I think we are probably both dead in this scenario, but we’ll both be going to our deaths nitpicking all the way. Personally, I would bank our survival on more of a The Ransom of Red Chief scenario than on us coming up with the same place and date.

Oddly enough, we did. He asked, I said “our anniversary, the central piazza in Riva on Lake Como.” Then he showed me the thread. At least he can be a bit more precise about exactly where now. :stuck_out_tongue:

Well sister, actually, but I’ll take the Word :slight_smile: .

I realize I forgot to say a day…I guess it would be either August 20th when we met (online), or October 30th when we met (in person). I guess the in person one makes more sense. (I can still see him running up to me sneef)

Oh. Sister. I understand. But really we’re all brothers, aren’t we? Deep down, you know?

Versailles. 14th July.

I decided this when I first read the thread, based on the fact that I know she’d try to figure out my thought processes, that it’s a place that means a lot to us and that the date would seem the most obvious one to associate with it.

Then I emailed her, sent her the URL to this thread and asked for her answer (without giving mine).

Took her a few hours to choose, but she got it. I guess we live.

:smiley:

What’s with all the “anniversary” answers?? You want to be held with no world contact for ANY length of time?

My wife and I would live because we would both choose the logical answer.

“Return me right now to the place from which you just kidnapped us.”

It took me about 10 minutes to figure out my answer. Just asked hubby of 30 years, he took less than 5 minutes. Our answer: Airport Beach Maui on June 25. WE LIVE!!!

When I asked my husband he looked at me oddly and said “is this a contingency plan?” My answer was our anniversary and our home - his answer was our anniversary and the restaurant where we had our first date (the logic being that if the kidnappers knew where we lived they’d come back for us). Once I assured him that wasn’t a possibility he said the obvious answer was home so I’m still going to count that as a win.

I’d have said “home. Now”

My fiance said “Las Vegas. On your birthday.”

He just got us both killed. We’ve never even been to Las Vegas!

Rhiannon8404 and I live!

I picked our anniversary right away, but had a bit of trouble deciding on the place. The first thing that popped into my head (and I have no idea why) was the pizza place we went on our first date. But since it’s not a pizza place anymore, I thought that might be confusing. Finally I decided that home would probably be best.

Rhiannon answered almost before I finished asking her the question. She thought of home right away; she had to choose between our anniversary and her birthday for the date.

I still don’t get how anyone would answer anything but “now”

You’ve been kidnapped, you can get out anytime you want, and you pick something other than “now”?!
