Would You??

[Chava]

Sure, my life is my life, and I wont spend it doing something I don't want to.

Would you stay indoors on a rainy day?

[zanna]

Most likely! I love to curl up with a book on a rainy day. =) I'm sure there are quite a few here who would agree with me, lol! It is Litnet, after all.

Would you eat an ant, just for the heck of it?

[*Classic*Charm*]

Sure!

Would you eat your favourite animal out of curiosity if it were being offered to you?
(This has happened to me...I couldn't do it)

[Chava]

Well, I wouldn't not do it just because it was my favourite animal. But the circumstances for eating that particular animal woul have to be unsual.

Would you put too much garlic on your garlic bread?

[PoeticPassions]

Probably not... too much garlic makes me sick, actually, though I do like it. And my breath stinks for more than 24 hours after....

Would you ever undergo hypnosis, so as to change a certain behavior or desire (etc) of yours?

[Frizzy_Frog]

I would try it, but I don't believe it works.

Would you sell your soul to live forever?

[PoeticPassions]

No, I think immortality would be the worst punishment... and I am afraid that I would not know what to do with immortality.

same question.

[Joreads]

Yes I think I would there is so much that I want to so and I am sure that it will not fit into one life time,

Would you sell your soul to be rich?

[Oniw17]

Not even if I thought I had a soul(because if I did it would probably be some crucial essense of myself, and being rich would be pointless without being full enough to enjoy it).

Would you become a bondservant to someone in order to gain access to their resources(books, food, thoughts, et cetera)?

[Chava]

No

Would you say you had a realistic impression of your abilities?

[NikolaiI]

More or less.

Would you stay indoors on a snowy day?

[Chava]

no

Would you stay in bed all day?

[NikolaiI]

Like them?
http://sunfollower.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/bedin350.jpg

Maybe.

Would you take care of someone's dogs while they went on a trip if they asked you?

[GX4146]

sure as long as they pay me

same question

[Chava]

No, I just don't lead a lifestyle that's compatible with dogs. Walks and feeding at regular hours? No can do.

what, would you, teach your parrot?

[NikolaiI]

"I wanna hear and see everything," or some other cool lyrics from "Up from the Skies"

Have you heard "Up From The Skies"?

[GX4146]

nope

would you care hearing about Up From the Skies?

[NikolaiI]

I don't understand, but I like the song if that answers your question. :)

Would you tell someone if they had flour on their face? (It seems most poeple don't.)

[GX4146]

nope. i'd tell someone if they have bad breath.

would you tell someone if he or she has bad breath?

[Babyguile]

If they were a reasonably good friend yea.

Would you cheat in an exam if you knew you could get away with it and wouldn't be caught?

[optimisticnad]

No I wouldn't because I'm super - super paranoid so I will worry of getting caught. Also I'm old-fashioned, I like doing well in exams on my own merit, and - I ace my exams anyway, no need to cheat!

Would you go all-Angela-Hayes (American Beauty) on your mates father?

[mono]

:lol: One of my favorite movies! No, and as a heterosexual male, not the mother either.

Somewhat along the same lines, would you ever fraternize with or date a coworker?

[PoeticPassions]

ah, well, I want to say no... but alas, I am driven by my emotions and my sexual desires... so I think that if I were extremely attracted to that person, physically and mentally, or if I were to fall in love or feel a spark/chemistry, then I suppose I would throw caution to the winds.... act no, think later type of philosophy (though I am less impulsive as I grow older...)

would you ever pose nude for an artistic purpose? (ie for an artistic magazine, for an exhibition, as the subject of a photographer who does nudes, etc)

[mono]

I have, for one art student, a portrait done with charcoal and graphite, but it took a lot of convincing from my shyness.

If you had belongings you wanted to get rid of, would you sell them or donate them?

[PoeticPassions]

Donate them. (I don't like perpetuating materialism, but if an item can be useful to someone who might not otherwise have the means to own that item, then we must share and pass it on)

(oh and, let's see that charcoal painting! ;) :P)

would you ever die for love?

[NikolaiI]

So serious...! Yes, depending on the circumstances. I would give my life to save the one I love, if that were the situation.

Would you travel the whole world to find your perfect home?

[rtc143]

why not it's gotta fit right...

do you wish to significantly change yourself?

[The Comedian]

Nope. Perfection is in the mind. . . . I could find the perfect home in lots of places..

Regarding two total strangers: if you saw one stranger stealing a relatively worthless item from the other stranger, would you say something to the victim or simply watch the theft unfold?

[Chava]

I'd say something, and have done so before, even if it can sometimes get you into all sorts of trouble.

What, would you, save if the house was burning?

[jekan blazer]

my family...


would you help me be happy?

[The Comedian]

Nope. I'm much to insecure for that. :)

If I made you a special dinner that I clearly worked very hard to make ever so perfect for you, just you. . . .and that dinner tasted just terrible, would you (1) eat it and :) or (2) tell it like its and make me :bawling: ?

[Joreads]

I would eat it and tell you I liked it

Would you believe me if I told you I loved it?

[mono]

For reasons like that, I ask my guests their food preferences, especially that I have befriended so many fellow vegetarians, vegans, and their various subsidaries.

Would you ever live atop in the Burj Dubai? If so, would you take the elevator or stairs?

[*Classic*Charm*]

Never. Ever. In a million, billion years. Ever. Afraid of heights. And even if I did, I'd take the elevator because my crappy knees can't do stairs:(

Would you give up all your books to have dinner with a favourite author?

[NikolaiI]

In a heartbeat. (I just realized how few books I have. :))

Would you feel comfortable in the presence of a world-class musician?

[papayahed]

Sure, why not.


Would you like to go to the moon?

[Chava]

Not much

Would you like a down pillow?

[Niamh]

Yes!!! so comfy!


Would you like to go hiking?

[Chava]

Sure, but not right now, my legs are sore!

Would wear clothes made of Hemp?

[Niamh]

Its a natural material so probably! :D

would like a pint of cider?

[Joreads]

Yes please

Would you drive across the country on a whim

[papayahed]

Sure, I love the idea of car trips.


Would you buy expired aspirin if they were on sale?

[Chava]

No, but then I don't use a lot of aspirin

Would you learn to knit?

[sprinks]

I would



Would you knit an entire wardrobe of clothes if you knew how to knit?

[Niamh]

Probably get half way before getting bored and giving up! :p

Would you travel the world if you won 10,000€ ?

[Scheherazade]

Not really.

Would you consider yourself "high maintenance"?

[Niamh]

Definitely not!


would you consider yourself a good friend?

[Scheherazade]

Mostly yes.

Would you appear in a TV commercial?

[sprinks]

er, no. Unless it was one talking about the horrors of TV commericals :p


Would you appear in a soap opera on TV?

[theoryofsilence]

deffinately not... to much drama in real life anyway...

would you ratehr be a vampire or warewolf??

[Niamh]

Vampire! silly question :p hehehe


Would you rather be Indiana Jones or Lara Croft?

[Scheherazade]

Indiana Jones!

Would you leave your present partner to be with a film star?

[theoryofsilence]

never!! i couldnt do that...

moonlight or sunlight

[Eugenie]

tough choice, but I would have to say sunlight.Just so I could see colour and depth and the little nuances in nature.

Would you betray a friend for any reason in this world?

[Chava]

None that I can think of

Would you tell me what the opposite of Nocturnal is?

[papayahed]

diurnal


If you had a dollar would you give me 0.99?

[theoryofsilence]

i honestly cant say...

men or women?

[Chava]

Geez, that requires some context, overall both I suppose. (Just a note theoryofsilence, this is the Would you thread ;))

Sleep on the floor, or sleep in a hammock

[theoryofsilence]

(chava: yes i know that would.. just wonderign what type of response i wouldve gotten from teh everage reader. but didnt want to offend people by saying the wrong thing.. )

i would rather sleep on the floor..

would you rathar be the main person in a story or the side note?

[Oniw17]

It doesn't matter either way, it all depends on how I'm represented. Mercutio was far from the main character in Romeo and Juliet, and I thought he was the coolest character in that play.

Would you post seriously on an online forum on a regular basis?

[Scheherazade]

I can't. I really try but everytime I fail and get shunned by the more intellectual and serious minds posting their serious posts.

Would you read a Barbara Cartland novel?

[Oniw17]

If someone recommended one to me and it sounded good I might.

Would you fight an angry wolverine?

[papayahed]

erm, No.

Would you enter a hot dog eating contest?

[The Comedian]

No.

Would you stop reading for a month just to see if you could?

[Oniw17]

No, I wouldn't know where to go when I need to go somewhere, and I wouldn't be able to write. And I'm incapable of not writing for a month.

Would you bet on your own skill?

[Stanislaw]

Yes, but winning is another thing... :D

Would you ever randomly pick a book and read it?

[Oniw17]

Plenty of times, often with regrets.


Would you change everything you believe in the face of what seems in every way a better belief?

[The Comedian]

Sure. But I'd need more to go on than "seems" to make the values switch.

Would you tell the clerk at a big, mega-corporate store that she charged you $10 for an item that should have charged you $100 for?

[Oniw17]

No.

Would you say that you know anything?

[theoryofsilence]

nope.. deffinately not..

would you rather have a glass of water half full or half empty??

[RobinHood3000]

Is it too much to ask for both?

Would you eat something you were non-deathly allergic to for $50?

[kilted exile]

sure. I've done stupid things for a lot less - eg drank a bottle of hot sauce for a bet winning a beer, yes I am that dumb

Would you quit your job to travel (knowing you would have nothing left to return to)?

[Niamh]

Yes. If it meant getting to meet many new people and learning along the way. :) and who knows what would happen.

Would you go out of your way to help people, even if they were rude to you and mean?

[kilted exile]

Wouldnt go out of my way to, but if I wouldnt deliberately not do it either

Same Q

[Niamh]

Kill them with kindness. :)

Would you travel just to meet people you never met before?

[The Comedian]

Nope. There's plenty of people I don't know well enough in my own small town.


Would you give up something you love for someone you love?

[Silas Thorne]

Well, publicly, yes. ;)

Would you shoot a poacher for killing Elephants or Gorillas?

[theoryofsilence]

yes.. that means new experiences... new ppl.. would love to go to germay!!! i kno the language.. well sorta


would you rather love for a day or live for an eternaty?


ooopss.. answered the wrong ?.. im sorry

[Babyguile]

Well, publicly, yes. ;)

Would you shoot a poacher for killing Elephants or Gorillas?

That's a really emotive question. As an animal rights enthusiast I'd love to say yes and show my moral fibre, but there's a doubt in the back of my mind as to whether the balance of an elephant life and a human life is equal, and the killing of the poacher thus justified.

I'll say yes and hope I won't ever be in the situation but put that ideology to the test.

Would you save the life of a mentally disabled person (who was in a vegetative state) or an intelligent dog if only one could be saved.

[an7hrax]

the dog

would you go back in time and kill Hitler if you could?

[Babyguile]

Yes.

Would you allow doctors to perform vivisection on a mouse if it meant you would get medicine that would prevent you from getting flu that you would otherwise have caught (I know it's not a scientificaly sound example but I'm sleepy)? Only for you however.

[an7hrax]

yes

would you eat your family pet if it was that or death? (the pet would survive if you didn't eat it)

[*Classic*Charm*]

No

Would you give up a family member to save a pet?

[an7hrax]

yes
( doesn't really apply to me I have no living relies)

would you sacrifice 100 lives to save 1000

[*Classic*Charm*]

depends on the lives in question

if you had to irradicate one species from the universe, what would it be?

[an7hrax]

humans

would you prefer to be shot and live or watch your best friend shot?

[motherhubbard]

if you had to irradicate one species from the universe, what would it be?

Lice

Would you refuse to get in an elevator with someone who made you feel uncomfortable?

[*Classic*Charm*]

Be shot and Live

Yes, I would get in the elevator

would you save all the plays or all the novels from destruction?

[an7hrax]

@motherhubbard

no but i would throw that person out of the elevator

would you shoot a friend to save the world?

[Sapphire]

would you save all the plays or all the novels from destruction?
Geez... Can't we disguise the plays as novels? :( These are impossible questions :confused:

Put on a stand: Novels it is (but I might just flip a coin on it)

To return the logical sequence in this thread :p, I will let the next question be An7hrax's:

Would you shoot a Friend to save the World?

[Pensive]

No. In my opinion, you can never save the world by shooting people...

Would you ever hit your child as a punishment?

[*Classic*Charm*]

No

How would you respond if someone broke your favourite possession?

[an7hrax]

i would break their nose

would you sacrifice yourself to save 1 elderly lady you don't know?

[Chava]

No

Would you bruise easily?

[*Classic*Charm*]

Ah yes!

Would you tell your best friend you hate his or her significant other?

[Chava]

In nicer words yes.

Would you be offended if a friend did that to you?

[kilted exile]

nope my friends are in general a better judge of people than me

Would you date a relative of a co-worker?

[*Classic*Charm*]

Sure, with their approval.

Would you date a friend's ex?

[The Comedian]

Sure. Not that I date anymore, but if I did, I would.

Would you give up something you love for someone you love?

[*Classic*Charm*]

Someone who loves me shouldn't ask me to do that. So no, probably not.

Would you stop seeing your friends if the one you love didn't like them?

[The Comedian]

Yes.

Would you stop posting to Litnet if your beloved's wanted you to?

[*Classic*Charm*]

Again, my beloved should stop asking me to do things I don't want to do. So no.

Bye, bye, beloved!;)

Would you get rid of pets if your beloved was allergic to them?

[The Comedian]

Been there, done that. Bye bye doggie. Hello, girlfriend --> fiance --> wife.
-- I totally won in this deal.

Would you ask your beloved to give up an unhealthy habit for you?

[*Classic*Charm*]

You're a generous man, Mr. Comedian!

No, they wouldn't have become the beloved in the first place.

Would you take up a filthy habit to become closer to your beloved?

[mono]

It depends on the context, but highly likely not, no; I would probably not belove a beloved with too filthy of habits. This question reminds me of that indy movie, Dirty Filthy Love - hilarious!

Would you ever volunteer for an experimental medication study?

[Scheherazade]

Depends what the side affects might be (wouldn't like to lose my superpowers, y;know).

Would you appear in a cereal commercial?

[The Comedian]

Heck yeah.

Would you burn a book, just to see if you could?

[Scheherazade]

Yes, I did. :eek:

Would you stay up late to keep someone company?

[j.k.taylor]

Yes- i have in the past.

Would you rather have a cute fuzzy mammal, a scaly reptile, or a slimy amphibian for a pet? (you must pick one.)

[The Comedian]

cute fuzzy mammal.

Do you think tattoos are the latest installment of "hey look at me, I'm a rebel just like everyone else" ideology?

[*Classic*Charm*]

Yes. Piercings just don't cut it anymore:)

Would you rather work weekends and retire earlier or keep the five-day work week?

[Scheherazade]

Keep 5-day weeks.

Would change the TV channel for me?

[*Classic*Charm*]

My pleasure. What channel would you like it on?

Would you write my genetics midterm for me?

[Scheherazade]

With great pleasure... As long as you don't mind failing!

Would you give your email address to people you have recently met?

[*Classic*Charm*]

Don't think I have...

Would you give out your phone number in a bar?

[Scheherazade]

What is a bar?

Would you give out fake phone numbers?

[*Classic*Charm*]

Nope. I'd shut the person down to his face.

Same question!

[Mathor]

I have done the above before. so no. Giving a fake phone number is just not nice. One time i was like "i dont think i should" and she was like oh, i felt like such a jerk.

would you learn another language if someone you were attracted to only spoke that language?

[*Classic*Charm*]

Hmm...possibly:)

Would you ever send a drunk friend home in a cab by him/herself?

[Chava]

Have done in the past, but then maybe it's resonably safe here?

Would you get so drunk you could barely talk?

[Pensive]

No, I wouldn't even get a little drunk. At least the me that I know so far wouldn't.

Same question!

[Virgil]

No not by choice. Getting drunk is not a good feeling to me. Having a drink is nice and relaxing, but going too far does not make it better.

Same question.

[Chava]

No, I would find it very humiliating, and while drinking is fun it is important to know how much you can handle, and how much you are willing to go beyond that. I'm just a notorious drunk dancer. ;)

Which comic book character, would you, like to be?

[NikolaiI]

No, the body is a temple.

Same question

[Scheherazade]

No, I would find it very humiliating, and while drinking is fun it is important to know how much you can handle, and how much you are willing to go beyond that. I'm just a notorious drunk dancer. ;)

Which comic book character, would you, like to be?Linus from Peanuts.

Would you take part in Big Brother or a show of similar kind?

[Chava]

No, I heard a funny quote the other day regarding this years season of "Paradise Hotel" (barf) one of the casters had this to say about the sort of people they chose for those shows; "We pick the ones who're smart enough to understand that it's a game, but not smart enough to understand how to play it." I mean come on...? We have a notorious dane here named Martin who has now participated in four reality shows from Single life, to big brother, and he has won nothing, but lost house, girlfriend and job.

Would you look down on a friend if they participated?

[Eugenie]

Yes, definitely.

Would you spend all your life doing something just because you felt inside you that to this you were called, even though until that thought started you had never given such a thing a thought?

[Oniw17]

I don't see why not.


Would you keep going into the same bar even though you kept getting kicked out?

[*Classic*Charm*]

Ah haha that makes me think of a funny story...I'd say no, but that would be a lie.

Same question!

[PoeticPassions]

Probably not... unless I used a different disguise every time!

Would you ever steal a car if it was an absolute emergency and you really needed it?

[The Comedian]

Yes.

If it were possible to change genders then change back to your original gender (a la Woolfe's Orlando), would you do it just to see how the other half lives/thinks?

[*Classic*Charm*]

Nah, that would take all the fun out of everything...though would also be extremely useful...hmm...

Same question!

[mono]

I think it would seem interesting not so much to discover how the other lives or thinks, but more how the other gets treated, such as by chivalrous men, service at a restaurant or other public place, and things like that. My only fear: not that I feel the most attractive man, I would make one ugly woman.
This reminds me of an occurrence at a special store for soaps, shampoos, hygeine products, etc. As a man, yes, I admit one of my guilty pleasures, as using nice soaps, shaving creams, and such things. A female friend of mine and I entered the store once for things I wanted to buy - she had no interest in the place; as the saleswoman approached us, she directed every word towards my female friend, ignoring me, assuming we came there for her purpose. My friend and I still laugh about it! Weird, eh?

Would you undergo hypnotism for any reason?

[Chava]

None that I can think of, though I wouldn't mind trying for the hell of it.

Would you like to know how the magician performs his tricks?

[jhonerliz]

yes. it's interesting for me to know their tricks.

would you train your pet to earn money?

[PoeticPassions]

um, no, that sounds pretty awful... I think it is bad enough people dress their pets up...
I would teach it some tricks, sure, but definitely not for money. I think it would be more interesting if I did tricks anyway! (if I really needed the money)

Would you kill one person to save the lives of 100 people?

[Zee.]

If that person was someone i loved then no, never. Not for anything.


Would you cut off your feet or hands?
...

[Chava]

Neither, but I suppose I cold live without my feet, they were always a little odd, I love my hands.

Would you live in a house with a thatched roof?

[Sapphire]

Definately, I think it is beautiful :) And current techniques really diminish the risk of fire, though it stays a risk.

Would you lie at work about being sick to get a day of?

[*Classic*Charm*]

Nope. I actually am sick a lot, so I need all the days I can get for that.

Would you quit a job if they wouldn't give you time off for something important?

[Chava]

Hmm, I can't make a passing statement like that, I'm not sure, and I do need my job. But I can envision occasions where I might feel cornered. Fortunatly my boss is reasonable and lets me off for all sorts of silly reasons.

Would you backtalk a colleague?

[mono]

Okay, I will admit one of my faults as impatience, and especially at work I tend to get a little easily frustrated. I have never raised my voice, but there have existed a few times where I have back-talked two fellow nurses and one doctor, after they said some un-nice thing; in all three cases, I feel I had justification, however, while sticking up for my patients' benefits.

If your writings got published, would write under a pen-name or your real name?

[Chava]

Haha, I kinda like my name, however, I also like the idea of not getting recognised for a work. I'd have to think of a really neat pen name though... Nice Question

Would you make snow angels, or prefer snowball fights?

[mono]

Both have their appropriate time and place, but I do have relatively good aim with snowballs.

Would you prefer to master skiing or snowboarding?

[Chava]

Haha, how arrogant would it be to say I've got the first one down pat....No seriously, I'd really like to become an excellent snowboarder.

Would your ski/board suit be a one piece?

[mono]

I would probably look ridiculous, but, for starting out, I would probably stick with a one-piece, since while attempting to ski or snowboard, I spend more time on my back and stomach than I do on the skis or snowboard; a one-piece would prevent snow from getting under your clothing, which can sting a bit.

Would you ever let your parents move in with you?

[Chava]

I wouldn't let my dad move in with me. My mom is always welcome, but niether of us would want to live like that for a very long time. Some bonds just change when you move out, and it's difficult to try and make the old return.

If you let someone crash for the night, would you take the sofa?

[mono]

I could go either way, as both my bed and sofa feel very comfortable; for obvious reasons, I prefer my bed, but it depends on the guest. If one of my parents or grandparents, I would take the sofa, but otherwise, too bad, guests, I get the bed.

Would you ever let a good friend or sibling of yours stay with you temporarily, rent-free, until they 'got on their feet'?

[Chava]

Yeah, of course. But they'd damned well have to help with the cleaning, and by the looks of him the last week or two, it'd be a very temporary stay.

Would you paint your walls in bold colours?

[mono]

Preferably, yes, but warm colors.

If you could get a free consultation from an interior designer, but you could only have him/her design one room of your place, which room would you choose?

[Chava]

Hmm, probably the kitchen.

Same question

[mono]

I would feel more apt to knock down all the walls of my apartment, and call my entire place one room, so s/he would design them all; then I could re-build the walls later.

If someone wrote a song about you, what genre of music would you prefer?

[Chava]

Certainly a jazz tune, possibly with a rock Sax. Something like Louis Prima's Sing, Sing, Sing, (with a swing)

I'm saying this a lot tonight, but I can't help it, same question...

[mono]

Probably classical - something simple, maybe even with only a piano and cello, though I would think it quite funny to have a reggae or polka song about me. :lol:

If you could schoolteach any subject as a career, what subject would you teach?

[Chava]

Geography and humanities

Would you approve of detentions?

[mono]

Nah, I do not see remaining at school after school hours as a suitable punishment; school ought not to seem a place to hate having to stay at, but, just think of it, a place for learning. One former highschool teacher of mine had an interesting way of punishing students for misbehavior - if a student kept misbehaving in class, s/he would have to sit in the very front of the class, and handwrite every spoken word by anyone in the class, including the teacher's lecture.

If you did teach, would you probably seem like the strict or playful teacher?

[theoryofsilence]

strict but playful at the same time. not all kids learn the same way so you have to figure out what ways fit best. experimentation.


would you rather play a dangerous sport or something safe?

[Scheherazade]

Something safe?

Would you put your whole life on hold and disappear for a week to cure your homesickness?

[papayahed]

yeppers.

Same question.

[*Classic*Charm*]

Don't think I'd go far enough away from home for that to happen.

If you had done something really shameful, would you tell your family?

[theoryofsilence]

i would of said yes because i believe they would forgive. but not anymore. my family doesnt like who i am. so i stay out of their hair as much i can.


would you ever be able to be your true self after a tragic event in your life happened?

[browneyedbailey]

No, I wouldn't. After my friend died, I was never the same. I know from experiance that you can't go back to normal.

Would you be able to live without music?

[Pensive]

Hmmmm I guess yes. The life wouldn't probably be that much enjoyable but I will still be able to survive I think.

Same question!

[Eugenie]

Well...........I would talk to him about it first and see what he thought. :). If I were poor and could not earn money any other way, then yes. But I would make sure I played with my pet and made up to him for all his work on my behalf.

Would you marry someone you did not love like they did in Jane Austen's time to have a load of money and be able to help your family?

[browneyedbailey]

I REFUSE TO MARRY WITHOUT LOVE!!! For without it, what would i do with myself?

Same question!

[Pensive]

Perhaps. Depends upon the circumstances. I don't care much about 'loads of money' but if I had none I might even marry somebody with little amount of money so I can provide some food and shelter to my family. But in the present conditions, no. Don't think I need that much of money or that my family needs any help.


Same question!

[Scheherazade]

If my family so desperately needs the money, I might.

Would you hide your true reading "pleasures" to impress others?

[MissScarlett]

No. My true reading pleasure tend to be the classics, but even if they were bodice rippers, I wouldn't hide it. I think people have a right to read whatever they like and enjoy it without interference from others.

If you were coveting a book and couldn't afford one, then saw one of your friends had it, would you steal it?

[Tournesol]

No, I wouldn't steal it. But I would ask very nicely, and very persistently, to borrow it. I may even offer very nicely, but very firmly, to purchase it from them.

Would you break the red light late at night on a lonely road?

[*Classic*Charm*]

Probably not. If I'm out late at night I'm probably not in a hurry to get anywhere.

Would you ever steal a road sign?

[skib]

HA! good story. Yes.

Say you stole a road sign too big to fit in the car- what would you do with it?

[NikolaiI]

Leave it.

Would you know if someone was worthy of your time?

[skib]

I would certainly hope so.

Would you have the courage to tell them if they were not?

[Pensive]

Probably not.

Same question!

[MissScarlett]

I'd have the courage, but I would probably try to phrase it in a nice way. No need to be rude to anyone, feel superior, or hurt anyone's feelings.

Same question.

[The Comedian]

Nope. The extent of my cowardice knows no boundary.

Would you tell your kid there's no such thing as magic (magic wands, unicorns. ..), or would you play along with her belief until she found out on her own?

[Scheherazade]

Probably play along while gently preparing them for the truth.

Would you post in this thread even though you cannot think of a question to ask?

[MissScarlett]

Yes, I did so, when I just wrote "same question."

Would you pretend to like a book you really disliked just because it was your best friend's favorite?

[Scheherazade]

Not in a million years.

Would you pretend to dislike a book because your best friend dislikes it?

[The Comedian]

Depends, if I was indifferent about said book, I'd probably play along with the the dislike card for a while. If I loved the book, I'd just say that I loved it.

Would you say "cute kid" even when you thought, "eeech! that's one ugly kid". . . .?

[*Classic*Charm*]

Nope. I wouldn't them it was ugly, but I wouldn't humour them either!

Would you tell your child he or she was good-looking, even if he or she wasn't?

[The Comedian]

Yes. (Of course, my two girls are more beautiful than Aphrodite herself, but that's beside the point).

Would you laugh at a joke that wasn't funny if it was told by a nice guy who wanted to be considered funny?

[*Classic*Charm*]

Only if he were really uncomfortable. Otherwise, nah. But I'm pretty easily amused, so there's a good chance I'd find it funny anyways.

If you could tell someone was uncomfortable, would you try to make them feel better or encourage the awkwardness?

[The Comedian]

Help them to feel comfortable. I've been uncomfortable too many times. It sucks when it happens to me; I image other people think it sucks too.

Would you be late for your favorite TV show because you were posting to Litnet?

[*Classic*Charm*]

Both at the same time! But yes, I've been late before.

Would you Sleep through you're morning alarm because you were up too late on LitNet?

[Joreads]

No I would never do that

Would you ever go on a backpacking trip through South America?

[Joreads]

Yes I would it is actaully on my wish list.

[MissScarlett]

No, I'm too old for that, and I've done that before anyway.

Would you put off marrying a man or woman you were in love with if you felt you didn't have enough experience dating to make that decision yet?

[PoeticPassions]

this is a tough one... but I think I would. Because otherwise, at some point, the lack of experience, or the desire for more experience would destroy the marriage.

If there was such a thing as an immortality potion, would you drink it?

[Scheherazade]

Probably I would but it would depend on how it would work on me (ie I wouldn't like something like "Death Becomes Her".

Would skip work just to be able to hang around on LitNet?

[Chava]

Some days, I wish I could, but then again, being on the internet talking about books, or at work talking about books...?

Recent dilemma; there's one cathedral in this country that charges entry, but if you say in the door that you are coming to pray you get in for free;

[PoeticPassions]

No. I'd pay the fee.

Would you ever join a traveling circus?

[Chava]

No, I wanted to as a child, but it's not so glamourous.

Would you invest good money to get just the right headphones?

[skib]

Would you pay over 30 dollars (or pounds) for a pair of sunglasses?

[Scheherazade]

[*Classic*Charm*]

Nope.

Would you a cook a meal for someone that likes it even if you don't?

[Scheherazade]

Quite often do.

Would you vocalise your views in a meeting even though you know that they will not be welcome?

[The Comedian]

Depends on how important I felt my views were. If I thought they were really important, yep. If I thought my contrary ideas were just small fry, then probably not.

Would you pick up a dirty piece of litter or would you walk by it and hope some else does the job?

[Scheherazade]

Depends. If I am out leisurely, I would but if I am going somewhere important, I may not.

Would you play on the playground even though you are 30+ years over the age limit?

[Tournesol]

yes I would, but only if there weren't many people around, and as long as i have a friend with me...so that I wouldn't look completely insane...lol

would you eat chocolate that's past its expiration date?

[The Comedian]

^ faster than me! Yep, I wouldn't even look at the expiration date, to be honest.


I do so with great frequency, in fact.

Would you go canoeing in really, really, cold weather. . . ice and snow along the banks of the river and a 50% chance of snow showers?

[GX4146]

[NikolaiI]

I guess. I am sure it would be incredibly strange due to the language and time period differences.

[GX4146]

i'd rather be in a dostoevsky novel and mess up that guy who killed the two women in crime and punishment.

[Babyguile]

?????

[MissScarlett]

No, I certainly would not like to relive The Sun Also Rises, and I've been to Spain.

Would you go back in time and start life over if you could?

[PoeticPassions]

No. I think my life has been quite the ride and adventure... some regrets, but I think it was meant to be just the way it was.

Would you fast forward to the future, to hundreds of years ahead to see what the world is like? (granted that you could not go back to the past again)

If I couldn't go back, no way. If it was a round trip ticket, count me in! :)

Would you really help an old lady across the street?

[MissScarlett]

Of course, if she needed and wanted the help.

[MissScarlett]

It would depend on what I was involved at the time, but probably not.

[mono]

Sure, I feel up to the challenge.

If you could live the life of one literary fictional character for one day, who would you choose, and why?

[Chava]

Oh dear. This is impossible. Right now though the first thing that comes to mind is actually Whinnie the Pooh. Always wanted a house on Pooh corner, and a friend called Piglet. And who wouldn't want to live in the Thousand acre wood?

Who would you choose?

[mono]

Oh dear. This is impossible. Right now though the first thing that comes to mind is actually Whinnie the Pooh. Always wanted a house on Pooh corner, and a friend called Piglet. And who wouldn't want to live in the Thousand acre wood?
Ironic, because I acted in an elementary school play as Rabbit. :blush:

As to my question, probably Philip from Of Human Bondage by W. Somerset Maugham - whimsical, adventurous, intelligent, full of variety.

In what extreme sport would you participate?

[AimusSage]

chess!

Would you be awake all night and sleep during the day without any obligation to do so?

Would you go sailing in an old viking ship?

[Oniw17]

With only the stars to tell me which way I'm going



Would you swim for 24 hours straight?

[Reccura]

I would. I love swimming, and I miss it.

[AimusSage]

Yes. for ONE MILLION dollars. (cue pinky to the corner of the mouth)

[a_little_wisp]

*Shrieks*

No, for heaven's sake! :sick: I would be afraid of being slaughtered by a Goblin of some sort.

Same question. (:

[a_little_wisp]

If I could take my family and best friend, yes, in a heartbeat (well, depending on the TIME.)

If not, no.

If not, no!

Would you like to live in a world without modern healthcare?

[Reccura]

No! I depend on anesthetic too much.

[a_little_wisp]

:D Depends on the world. Are there magical, healing elves?


Would pick your nose for ten minutes in front of a crowd of fifty people for 100 bucks?

Would you eat fish and chips with vinegar on a morning at 8 am?
