Walk. I can’t do either very much these days. Running is out.

Have x-ray vision or fly?

If I can turn it on and off at will, X-ray vision.

Listen to one song for the rest of your life, or visit just one website for the rest of your life?

Website of course. And you don’t have to ask which one.

Eat the same menu every day or drink only water every day?

Drink water. At least the taste is not inherently objectionable.

have a clipboard permanently attached to your left hand or a propeller beanie permanently on your head?

The clipboard, I guess. At least it could be useful.

Be able to turn invisible at will, or have the power of mind control?

</div>

Mind control. Believe it or not, one of my super powers is being as unnoticeable as a person can be. My brother dubbed it my “fucking invisible bit.” But making people doing stupid things would be good for a laugh.

Never being able to eat again or continuous farting.

No AC. We live in a place where it’s rarely needed anyway.

Would you rather go white water rafting or on a big ship cruise?

No sugar, I’m already on the verge of prediabetes as is.

Alcohol. Give up cola, coffee and tea? No way.

Dead skunk in the road, or dead cat on your front porch?

</div>

Dead skunk. A) I’m partial to cats; B) I don’t really mind the skunk-stank that much. Reminds me of college. I’d take a dead skunk under the porch over a dead cat anywhere.

Corn on the cob or corn niblets?

Corn on the cob. More fun to eat.

Litter box. Rarely any surprises.

</div>

Clean the oven? You mean once? That. It’d take a lot less time.

WYR read _Moby-Dick_ or _War and Peace_?

</div>

There’s supposedly a lot of meaning and allegory in Moby Dick, so probably that.

Classic psychedelia, or modern?

</div>

Knowledge is power. I’m pretty sure I know how I’d die. I’d like to know when.  
WYR be behind someone in line who smells of B.O. or too much perfume?
