Oy, um, Lion King. I guess? Have the entire periodic table memorized perfectly or all of the African nations and their capitals memorized? ---

Hydrogen, Helium, Lithium, Beryllium, Boron, Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen … and that’s as far as I have memorized, so I’d like the rest please. I can impress people. Don’t African nations/capitals change every few months or so? Would you rather have your darkest secret exposed by Wikileaks, or by a Trump tweet? ---

A Trump tweet. Anyone with half a brain wouldn’t believe it anyway. Coffee or tea? ---

East. Fewer earthquakes. Port or starboard? ---

Sherry. In a cream sauce, on chicken. You have to accept a new pet. Will you choose [Grumpy Cat](http://cdn1-www.cattime.com/assets/uploads/gallery/top-25-grumpy-cat-memes/011_best-Grumpy-Cat-memes.jpg) or [Doge](https://fthmb.tqn.com/KcFD41pfPpt6GcMq9ZMROxynumA=/735x0/filters:no_upscale()/about/doge-58072b643df78cbc28f08a57.jpg)? ---

Agoraphobia. Better to really want to stay indoors than to go through huge mood swings. Gladstone or Disraeli? ---

“Gladstone Gears” just doesn’t have that ring a great album requires. A bologna sandwich made with: Eckrich bologna, Miracle Whip and Wonder Bread or a PBJ made with Peter Pan (smooth), Smucker’s Grape jelly and Butternut Bread? ---

Easy one: PB&J. Would you rather have your car stolen or your identity stolen? ---

Have had both car & motorcycle stolen, insurance was great. I hear the identity theft is a nightmare. So take my truck! Would you rather roller skate a mile or skateboard a mile? ---

Skateboard. I would fall down _'way_ too much on roller skates. Go adventuring with Marty or Doc Brown? ---

With Doc Brown there’d be a better chance of figuring out how to get back if things go amiss Live in a world that is a constant 73 degrees outside but always overcast or a world that is a constant 53 degrees but always sunny? ---

Hmmm, the overcast thing doesn’t bother me at all like it does some people, but 73 degrees is a tad warm for my taste, if you are hiking or otherwise doing any exertion. At 53 degrees and sunny, you could probably still have picnics outside. Football games would be cold. UGH, what I want is 67 degrees and partly sunny. OK, I pick 73 degrees. Just for the football games. Would you rather clean out the garage, or go to the store to pick out new kitchen flooring and arrange for installation, etc? ---

Even if I had to install it myself! Would you rather give up all your books, or all your music? (including digital recordings) P.S. 53 too cold for football?

Buh-bye, books. I don’t read so much any more, but I can’t live without music. And think of all the new space in the house without all the books! A related question: Read only books you hate, or listen to only music you hate? ---

Those are both equally appalling options. Uh… music, if I had to choose. Go skiing or snowboarding? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/would-you-rather/755444.md?page=41) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/would-you-rather/755444.md?page=43)
