If I could be magically given the grey cells for it, Clemson.
Go back in time and shoot Hitler or Stalin?
Stalin. Though I’d take either one.
Go back in time and shoot John Wilkes Booth or Lee Harvey Oswald
Both, if possible, but if I had to choose one, I think Lincoln’s death had a more unfortunate impact on the course of history. So buh-bye, JWB.
Go back in time and shoot Mao or Pol Pot?
From a global standpoint, Mao’s negative influence was larger. So off he goes.
Go back to the moment of birth and re-experience your entire life again with complete knowledge of what happens and no ability to change it (you know, like watching a 79 year long movie) or go back to the start with complete knowledge AND the ability to depart from the script, BUT with the condition that you will face 50% more adversity during your lifetime no matter your choices?
50% more adversity would be OK - I know a lot more now, could bet and invest very lucratively, and avoid a lot of dumb mistakes. Sign me up.
Popcorn or nachos?
Nachos.
Bungee jump off a bridge, or skydive?
Can’t I have both? No? OK then, skydive. Preferably from a high altitude balloon.
Marry a woman who is overweight and plain, but changes the world with her intelligence and integrity? Or marry a woman who is svelte and lovely, but who seldom leaves the neighborhood and focuses only on family and home?
Pudge or no pudge I’ll take the genius.
Instantly be able to play the musical instrument of your choice extremely well or instantly become the funniest person you’ll ever meet?
I’m already the funniest person I know, but I’d love the play the piano and/or guitar.
Be a professional bag piper player or a professional wrestler?
Bagpiping in a heartbeat. Less sweaty.
Be Scottish or Irish?
Scottish.
Never eat eggs again or never eat tomatoes again?
I can do a white sauce on a pizza, but I’ll never give up scotch eggs.
Live in Denmark, or Sweden?
Either sounds interesting, but I think Denmark may be warmer and easier to travel to other parts of Europe.
Eat garbage or listen to [y]our boss talk about his weekend?
Someone had to do it.
I can tune out the boss and still look interested. But secretly I’ll be reading Dilbert comics on the internet.
Live in a pineapple under the sea OR Become unstuck in time like Billy Pilgrim in Slaughterhouse Five?
If I lived in a pineapple under the sea that would mean Patrick is my best friend. I like Patrick. He’s nice.
suffer from severe claustrophobia or agoraphobia?
I would hate staying inside all day. Claustrophobia.
Be forced to watch every episode of House MD or The Big Bang Theory all day every day for the rest of your life?
Seriously my two favorite shows, but I must choose
Big Bang Theory~~I love to laugh
Would you rather… go without salt or garlic salt
garlic salt is less versatile
grow tomatoes or green peppers in your back yard
I love cooked tomatoes.
Be an alcoholic or a prescription pill junkie?
Holy shit, neither! But if I had to choose… urgh… um… OK, an alcoholic, I guess. At least I won’t have to routinely break the law that way.
Through your commendable civic efforts, see a bad law repealed, or a good law enacted?
