Gluten free, not ready to give up ice cream~ ~would you rather be a famous singer or famous actor? ---

Singer, though I’d probably be better at acting. Be a one hit wonder with a two year carrer, or plod along with a musical career with no hits for 30 years, playing dives and third rate joints. ---

Let’s go with the hit. No interest in all that gloomy travel and at least one big hit will give you a paycheck for the rest of your life. Spend the whole day reading about the election or the whole day on Thread Games pretending it didn’t happen? ---

Option B, even as I alternately seethe and wail. Move Election Day to Saturday, or leave it on Tuesday? ---

Leave it on Tuesday. It’s tradition. And I’d rather ruin my Tuesday than my entire weekend. (Expand vote-by-mail, early voting, that kind of thing). Watch every episode of _Bull_ for a 7-year run; or every episode of _Designated Survivor_ for a 7-year run? ---

Haven’t seen _Bull_ yet; I’ve seen _Designated Survivor_ a few times and guess I could watch seven years’ worth if I absolutely had to. “Martha My Dear” or “Your Mother Should Know”? ---

“Your Mother Should Know.” (Had to make sure I remembered that one, where they’re dancing in the white tuxes.) Ride everywhere you go on a boar or a fly everywhere on a bird large enough to carry you? ---

Fly on the bird. I can think of some people I’d love to make him poop on.😛 Find your dream job and never retire or win a huge jackpot and never work? ---

I hate to be that guy, but dream job for me. Only drink Jagger bombs for the rest of your life or only dirty martinis for the same duration? ---

Wow. I assume you mean “when I drink at all,” and not literally “for the rest of [my] life,” because that would kill me for sure. Um… dirty martinis, I guess. Lose the finger or the toe of your choice? ---

Toe. I might need all my fingers if ever I decide to take up the clarinet slapped really hard in the face or slugged moderately hard in the gut? ---

I’ve been punched once in the stomach as a kid and…no not again. Marry and date a hot person of the opposite sex who can elevate your status but is a strict religious individual and is very annoying or marry and date someone of the same sex (of average looks) who is the most open minded intelligent and nice person you know… ---

Well, if those are my only choices and I have to pick I’ll go with the opposite sex because it’s not a choice. Nixon or Trump? ---

Wow. I guess Nixon - at least we already know what he was capable of. A new free sports car every year for the rest of your life, or a lifetime free pass on the domestic airline of your choice? ---

A lifetime free pass on the airline. I’d sell it. Free a man who is on Death Row but wrongly convicted, or free a man on Death Row who, in front of witnesses, killed a man who had raped and murdered many children but was free on a legal technicality. ---

Whoa. Well, we’re a nation of laws so I’d have to choose to free the innocent man. Ride a horse everywhere you go or drive a Model T? ---

Can’t think of anything good in any way about having a mangled body part. Would you rather be simple and carefree or so intelligent no one wants to know you? ---

Intelligent. No one wants to know me anyway. 😉 (And BTW, “Neither” is not an acceptable reply in this thread.) A chronic pain or a chronic itch?
