Opera singer. I’m cultured too. (Not _that_ cultured, but more cultured than grunge.) Would you rather go on a trip to your favorite city but have it rain the whole time, or have a staycation when it’s always sunny? ---

Staycation, I think. Heavy rain can really ruin a vacation. See the President serve a full term or leave office in the next month? ---

Full term. One of the benefits of such staggering incompetency and endless drama is that not much gets accomplished. Fiction or nonfiction? ---

Around here? Helmet plus full hockey goalie suit. In Podunk, still a helmet. Would you rather have your air conditioner break down during a heat wave, or have a summer where the temperature never spikes over 65 degrees? ---

Oh, the latter, in a heartbeat. Give me sunny and cool over sunny and sweltering any summer day. Read in the backyard, or visit with neighbors? ---

Mmmmmm, the only person alive. No honking at 6am, no telemarketers calling during dinner. The freeways would be clear as I drive to work – um, I guess I wouldn’t go to work anymore… What magical thing would you rather have?

Well, I don’t drink alcohol, I don’t like hot weather or tans, I eat what I want and stay thin, but I despise hot weather. So it’s #4 with a bullet. Have a high paying job with shitty co-workers, or a low paying job with great co-workers. ---

Le Mans, think I drove in in Gran Turismo 4 during the early noughties… Accept $1,000,000 now and not allowed to receive financial help or be able to take a non-addictive pill that makes you feel no extreme sadness, anguish, discomfort, physical pain etc. everyday for 20 years. ---

I’d take the $1 million. If you had said no negative feelings whatsoever, that would be one thing, but “extreme” negative feelings isn’t something I’d forfeit $1 million to avoid. Be Donald Trump, Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, Mike Pence or Kim Jong Un right now? ---

Donald Trump - hold a press conference tearfully confessing to the absolutely worst actual things I’d done in the past ten years, and promptly resign. Visit NYC or LA for a week, all expenses paid? ---

NYC, and let me tell you: the expenses just for Broadway shows would be massive! Would you rather get to stay at the coolest mansion in Malibu for a week for free but have to cook and do laundry for your entire extended family or stay home but have a free personal chef and a maid for a month. ---

My extended family is pretty big, so that would be no Malibu vacation at all. Hello, personal chef and maid! Be paid by the job or by the hour? ---

By the job, I trust my bidding skills You will enjoy a 4-star meal. You are unable to decipher the menus, your choices…Caribbean or Creole/Cajun, which do you choose? ---

Either would be fine, but today I think I’ll go with Creole/Cajun. You are now an all-powerful Hollywood mogul. Greenlight a \*Firefly \*or \*Friends \*reunion movie? ---

I can make my own meals, but I’m a lifelong insomniac. Eight hours of sleep every night is one of my dreams. Room with the Big Bang’s Sheldon Cooper or Stewart Bloom?
