FLW, since I like his work much more, although he was an awful human being (arrogant, cheated on his wife, abandoned his kids, drove clients into poverty, a mooch, and a poor practical engineer).
Wilbur or Orville Wright?
Orville. My mother met him when she won an art contest at the age of 13 (in addition to a ride in a biplane). I’d ask him whether he remembered having met her.
A Joplin rag or a Sousa march?
Joplin rag has the ‘cool factor’ going for it. Sousa may have written the book on marches but he’s strictly Squaresville, man.
A chocolate sundae or a chocolate malt?
Sundae, please. Yummy.
Be Pope or British monarch?
British monarch. Pope has too many restrictions.
Hurricane or blizzard?
Blizzard. Less dangerous even if you’re the middle of it.
Be U.S. President or British Prime Minister?
U.S. President. At least I’d be better than the one we’ve got.
The star of an average movie or a supporting role in a blockbuster?
Blockbuster. More people would see me, and that should help my Hollywood career more.
Be a very talented singer or writer?
Oooooh, I’ve always wished I could sing well. I know all the songs and lyrics for a lot of musicals and I sing so so badly. Horrendously. Just awful.
Appear on Judge Judy as a Plaintiff or as a Defendant?
Defendant. The show pays any judgement awarded, so you can’t lose.
Trapped naked in a room with a thousand mosquitoes OR one angry poodle?
The Poodle dogs love me
Have the ability to fly or be invisible?~
Fly, for sure! I’ve always thought that would be a blast (although I’d have to dress warmly if I went too high or too fast).
Be a very persuasive speaker or writer?
Writer.
First string in a top notch orchestra or top ballet dancer?
Orchestra (I was concertmaster in high school)
Go to a museum of natural history or an art museum?
Sometimes natural history museums can be nice if they are more than stuffed animals and mannequins in caveman Halloween costumes, but I’d still pick an art museum over that.
Vacation in Oklahoma or Indiana?
Oklahoma is OK by me.
Miss the first or last episode of a tv show?
First. I wouldn’t have XX seasons invested in the show at that point to feel the sting of missing it
Pet a cute little puppy dog or a kitty cat?
Either would be fine, but I’d have to give the edge to the kitty cat.
Burger or hot dog?
Burger…unless it’s a kosher dog.
24 hours of belching or 24 hours of farting-both smell equally bad.
Belching would make for a more entertaining and more viewed youtube clip. And really what’s more important than that?
Have a video of you belching the alphabet go viral or a video of you falling down a flight of stairs while cursing loudly go viral?
