I’ll take the dog. WYR find a time capsule from a hundred years ago or create one of your own for a future generation? ---

Both good options - I guess I’ll look at the old one. WYR know something important from a century from now, or something important but previously-unknown (which you can prove) from a century ago? ---

Know something important a century from now. I’d find someway to make money off of it. Live in a grass hut or an igloo? ---

Grass hut, I guess. Not quite as claustrophobic. WYR learn to juggle or crochet? ---

Juggling seems more entertaining. And if I’m gonna juggle, it’ll be with chainsaws, rusty knives and flaming torches. None of that three tennis balls in front of the kids business for me, thanks. WYR appear as a guest on Wheel of Fortune and win whatever fortune you may or get a walk on role in a soap opera for a guaranteed $400? ---

I’m a genius at Wheel, so I’m going for that. Live in a grass hut in the arctic, or live in an igloo in the tropics??? ---

Igloo in the tropics. Is it going to be artificially frozen though? Cause I don’t see how it wouldn’t melt, but then again I won’t fight the hypothetical. Three months of paid vacation every year, or two month-long cruise voyages provided for free every year, including airfare? (You get your own big cabin room, and your boss gives you enough PTO to cover it) ---

3 months off and paid. Win-win. My luck I would suffer mal-de-mar. If you were a criminal, WYR rob a bank or be a cat burglar? ---

Cat burglars burgle (illegally enter a building and take stuff), Bank robbers rob (take possessions away forcibly). I’m not a violent person, so cat burglar. Would you rather watch all the episodes of Buffy: the Vampire Slayer in a binge-watching marathon, or run in a 100K marathon? ---

I have walked in marathons, but I do not run. I’m not a TV watcher, but I’d take Buffy. Eat 10 Big Macs or drink 10 large McD’s chocolate shakes at one sitting? ---

Ugh. Couldn’t really do eithet. But the ice cream machines at McDs are famously filthy, so, I’ll take the big macs. WYR go to Wedding or Funeral of a not so personal acquaintance? ---

Wedding, of course. Happy occasions beat sad any day. Arrange for a family reunion or organize a family funeral reception? ---

I’ll go with the reunion. It’s a happier occasion. WYR be a member of the British royal family or pay $472.60/year to not be? ---

Interesting amount. I would pay the “privacy tax”. WYR have your feet hurt all the time, or your hands hurt all the time? ---

Feet. I can sit down, but I can’t do anything without my hands. WYR meet your favorite musician or your favorite movie actor. ( famous, of course) ---

I’m quite interested in human behavior, so I’ll go with the actor. Maybe an insight or two there. Who knows. WYR a sea anemone or a starfish? ---

Either to be or to see one, I’ll go with a starfish. Fascinating critters. WYR drink grapefruit juice or eggnog? ---

Eggnog, as long as there’s no booze in it. Grapefruit juice is icky. Smell urine or gasoline? ---

Gasoline. I’ve always found it to be quite pleasant smelling. WTR have dinner with someone who eats with his mouth open and smacks his lips, or with someone who brings along an ill-behaved/crying brat? ---

I’ll go with the mouth chomper. It’s easier to ignore that than howling brats actively vying for attention. WYR fly a kite for an hour or snorkel for an hour?
