Juneau is closer.

Have your mouth permanently look like you’re wearing novelty wax lips or your eyes permanently look like you’re wearing a pair of novelty googly-eye glasses?

Eyebrows, if I must, since as a dude I really don’t want to be wearing eyeliner.

Tag along for a night of crime-fighting with Superman or Batman?

Would you rather be trapped in a Boeing 747 cabin for three days (you and a handful of friends, with adequate food, water, etc.) or trapped inside a large Navy submarine for a month (again, you and a handful of friends, with all adequate supplies)?

747 has windows. Plus I’ll get money as part of the Passenger Rights Act or whatever it’s called.

Permanently chapped lips or constant backache (it doesn’t prevent you from doing anything, but it’s uncomfortable.)

Lips. I have occasional backaches and the lips wouldn’t bother me nearly enough.

You _did_ say before (and not AS the fan gets hit). So I go with the dinos

Have to move in with your in-laws (their house) the rest of your life or live in a Tiny House (110 square feet) alone the rest of your life?

In-laws. I get along fine with them, and they’re pretty old, so…

Know your date of death, or know the outcomes of the next three U.S. presidential elections?

Election outcomes. I know I’m going to die; let’s leave it at that.

Hurricane or massive blizzard?

I live in Minnesota - I’m getting the blizzard no matter what I pick. And I prepped the snowblower last weekend.

Give up TV for three years, or the Internet for one year?

TV. There are plenty of movies I could watch, and I can always catch up on TV shows on DVD later. I get too much out of the Internet (including on the Dope) to want to give that up.

Foresightedly reserve an important website address and give it to a worthy cause that didn’t get it in time, or withhold it from an evil business that didn’t?

Withhold. It’s much harder to stop evil than find a different way to help a worthy cause.

Memorize and perform 20 minutes of dialogue from Adam Sandler’s “Little Nicky” or “Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse”?

LOL, I’ve never seen either, so I will pick Barbie – I think I can give a snarky interpretation of that if need be.

Spend an evening watching classical ballet or watching a classical opera?

Is the opera in Italian? I guess it doesn’t matter, I don’t speak ballet, either. Opera, then.

Give money to a hungry beggar knowing there’s a 50/50 chance he’ll use it for drugs or throw that money away?

Ooo, toughie. I guess give it to the guy. At least it _might_ do some good.

Prefer Cubs or Indians to win the World Series?
