Would You??

[MystyrMystyry]

Lose my job if I didn't go do you mean? I'd like to say it depended on the salary, but honestly, I've read books, seen movies, listened to symphonies, all of which left a bad taste, some of which I made to the end (over time), some of which made me think I have no desire to be here, and very soon wasn't

So if I can't be comfortable in a work of fiction how can I expect myself to adapt to somewhere real? Where the smorgasboard and buffet weren't even appetising?


You're in America, Big Smoke Capital City. Suddenly everyone is alerted there's a serial killer on the loose! You hasten home, but on your way you notice a wanted poster - the killer looks exactly like you! Once inside you turn on the tv, and there on the news again - the similarity is uncanny!

What to do?

(Remembering they shoot first and ask questions later in these parts)

[Maryd.]

Go out... If I get shot then that's that!

Sorry a tad morbid aren't I? Fact is, I am ready to meet my maker. :)

Would you dare to argue with someone who is in a powerful position? (ie; A judge, a president, pime minister)

[MystyrMystyry]

You would die at the hands of stupid men for a crime you haven't committed?

I meant more along the lines of trying to explain yourself and gather witnesses and an alibi before you're accused and defenceless, but the killer's still on loose ready to kill again

(But again this is Would You, not What Would You - my bad)

(I'll presume you did the right thing)

I can't remember you question


Oh, yes - if they are wrong wrong wrong, but maybe hesitate if they used to be the head of the Secret Service

[Maryd.]

You would die at the hands of stupid men for a crime you haven't committed?

Yes sir.

You forgot your questions to sir... :)

Would you be able to tell a family member, someone close to them had die?

[MystyrMystyry]

But you have so much more to offer! Why the fatalistic attitude?

And what about all the great episodes of Outrageous Fortune that are yet to screen?

Has life thrown you a lemon recently or something?


Anyway I forgot your question and then to ask a question because I was too busy making a toasted sandwich pizza thing and had the reply window open too long


But to answer your latest - I couldn't tell anyone close, but I could easily tell someone like a Hitler - at my hands! (sorry misread - still no, not outright, but I could perhaps tell them a slowly buiding story about how they'd been in an accident, nothing serious, but still in hospital overnight to make sure etc)


Could you go through with solo sailing around the world if you'd started by saying it flippantly, but then circumstances snowballed out of your control (money was raised, a boat was bought, it was advertised that you were about to make the attempt), and the day has arrived?

[Maryd.]

Ha ha ha... A lemon. Ha ha ha...

Just for the records I can't swim... So there would be no sailing for me. However to answer your question. I would take the risk and sail.

Would you enter a boxing ring, because of a dare?

[MystyrMystyry]

I'm a lover not a fighter. I've accumulated enough injuries from being the former to ensure I wouldn't be much chop against the latter.

For a dare though, hmmm. She'd have to be half my height and weight, no boxing experience, maybe in a rocking chair...

Would you go to an audition if acting in movies or plays suddenly occurred to you as 'the' way you wanted to spend the rest of your days? Or would you think 'I'm not trained or anything. No-one would ever take me seriously' and continue to make excuses

(Lack of support from those around you isn't an issue because you'll meet people on your frequency who will gladly offer it)

[Maryd.]

Hahaha... You're funny. Funny is good.

Have always wanted to act. So yes.

Would you dive into a raging ocean to save someone who slipped in and couldn't swim?

[MystyrMystyry]

I'm only a moderate swimmer myself. No sense in both of us drowndering (yes! Drowndering!) Who would be left to tell of my heroic tale?


Fraid it's sleepy byes time for me again, Kiddo. Turned the phone off. 'On Land' by Brian Eno gently playing in the background. Lights off. Computer off. Sweet dreams.

[Maryd.]

Oh, good night sir. :)

Would you ever sleep in a tent?

[MystyrMystyry]

I've slept in a tent that collapsed in the middle of the rainy windy night and proved impossible to put up again. In the end I just sort of wrapped it around me. Been a committed houseproud townmouse ever since

I slept in a tent in a caravan park for twelve notes a night (bargained them down from fifteen when the only other option was living on the streets - at least it gave the illusion of four tiny walls) in the middle of a cold wet winter - it was waterproof if nothing else

But, hey, there was a shower block, cute tennis players and a supermarket nearby - not as though I was in a prison or anything


Would you take up learning to swim if someone you'd only met on the net recommended you give it a try?

[faithosaurus]

Yes, because I don't like to not go through with something I say I'm going to do.

Would you ever go up and make a speech in front of a full room of people if you were desperately needed, even though you know nothing about the subject at hand?

[BienvenuJDC]

I would gladly make a speech, but I wouldn't blow a bunch of smoke....

Would you lie in a resume?

[Silas Thorne]

Possibly. Maybe everyone does. I'm sure everyone likes to throw in a few phrases like 'works well in a team setting' etc, even if they don't.

Would you eat guinea-pig?

[Maryd.]

Had them when I was younger and don't live very longs. No, I probably won't.

If you went to a colleague's house for the first time and realised that his wife was a woman you had seen the day before, passionately kissing another man, would you tell him?

[MystyrMystyry]

When you said 'had them' I thought you meant you'd already had them... I don't think anyone anywhere's ever eaten guineapig - though I suppose there's always a first time for everything. What are they? Rodents? Probably taste like a cross between rabbit and rat, and I've had a few rabbit stews, and certainly more than one 'meat' pie. Question is whether I'd eat another 'meat' pie knowing what I know now...

I wouldn't tell anyone anything. Snitchy people, to Hell with you on a one way ticket!

(This doesn't mean I wouldn't consider a little heh blackmail...)


Would you learn to ride a bicycle if petrol prices reached >1:50?

[Maryd.]

No... I have no balance. But I am a good walker. Love to walk

Would you give somebody a gift, just because you know they were giving one to you?

[MystyrMystyry]

Yes, because I don't like to not go through with something I say I'm going to do.

Would you ever go up and make a speech in front of a full room of people if you were desperately needed, even though you know nothing about the subject at hand?

I'd probably speak about what interests me, and afterwards if questioned about it by the person who'd roped me into it, I'd tell them as part of an embarassing dare, part of the money of which would go to charity provided I don't tell anyone my reasons-... Doh!' (This would make them feel guilty and totally shift the blame squarely onto their shoulders...

[MystyrMystyry]

Do I also know what this is gift is and, more importantly, what it's worth?

These questions in the affirmative, if it was someone I liked but the 'gift' was something I didn't, I could always sell or trade it later, and give them a gift voucher for the equivalent


Would you take a job as a seamstress in a sweatshop if money was tight, or prefer to turn to a life of crime?

[Maryd.]

Take the job as a seamstress. I can do it and I am not into crime.

Would you allow a friend to drive your car, knowing very well that he has been in so many accidents?

[MystyrMystyry]

An old bomb if I had one - and then collect on the insurance! Or if I was feeling frisky - report it as stolen to the cops! That'd learn him!

Faithosaurus - we have to get married

(faithosaurus only)

Everyone else - You can be an overnight million dollar star! All you have to do is immediately get yourself down the gym, go to singing lessons and define your own fashion sense, and be prepared because you're going to have to do it until the public turns against you! But hey, afterwards, millions of dollars!


(Edit: sorry, I'm a walking famine, and I'm going up in a hot air balloon tomorrow! Carry on without me!)

[Silas Thorne]

I don't think anyone anywhere's ever eaten guineapig - though I suppose there's always a first time for everything. What are they? Rodents? Probably taste like a cross between rabbit and rat, and I've had a few rabbit stews, and certainly more than one 'meat' pie.
Actually I was watching a travel programme recently and it seems guinea pig and alpacas are quite common food in the Peruvian Andes.
I also found this article online: http://moreintelligentlife.com/story/how-to-eat-a-guinea-pig

[MystyrMystyry]

Foody yums yums!

That does look sort of edible, Silas.

Have you been hungry, and you've gone to get a 1/2 chicken pack, but decided that if you bought two you could have one tomorrow. But upon finishing the first, you irresistably open the second and promptly gobble that one up too. Well that's what just happened to me

Faithosaurus - you can marry whoever you choose

(faithosaurus only)

Everyone else (including faithosaurus)- would you do it? Paparazzi clicking your picture, flashes (everywhere day and night, nonsense written about you in tabloids, obsessed fans climbing into your washing machine - not the worst way to obtain millions, but nerve rattling nevertheless)

[Maximilianus]

No... I think so.

Would you lend anything to someone who hardly ever gives things back?

[MystyrMystyry]

You mean like a knuckle sandwich? Sure, if they refuse to give me my things back.

The trouble with judging people on who they might be now relative to their bad record is their bad record speaks louder than they ever can in their own defense

I wouldn't trust someone I don't know over someone I know to be untrustworthy, but a select few I'd trust more, and none would I ever trust absolutely

To err is human, to forgive divine - sorry, I'm not quite up there yet


Anyway. You find a wallet. No-one's around. You flick through it to find the owner's identifier card. But you also notice an exraordinary number of hundred dollar notes. You think I am honest, and prepared to return it, but for my efforts I think a reward is in the deserving, and this person may not be the best tipper going. Do you continue to look for a contact phone number whilst pocketing some small change for yourself, intending to call and tell them where to find it? Or do you just fill your pockets, toss, and let someone else do the right thing for once?

[Maryd.]

Nope. I would do the right thing. Some of us can't live with ourselves. I'm one of them. :)

Would you buy a Christmas gift forn someone who doesn't belive in Christmas or the farce of Christmas, but expected a present from you anyway?

[MystyrMystyry]

Have done it - extenuating circumstances - and was later berated for my 'thoughtless last minute efforts' she called them.

I responded 'Stick it up your arse - look what you got me! At least I spent money!'

(Far better to have loved and lost than never to have lost at all - at least in her case)

So this is Christmas, and what have you done? Another year over, a new one just begun (favorite carol) Very merry Christmas, and a happy New Year - let's make it a good one, without any fear

Would you release a popsong you wrote that you knew would be a mega hit and generate you lots of coldhard, if at heart you knew it was gonna drive most reasonable people crazy with it's infectious rhythm and monotonous beat?

[Maryd.]

...(Far better to have loved and lost than never to have lost at all - at least in her case)...

This sounds all too familiar.


...(Would you release a popsong you wrote that you knew would be a mega hit and generate you lots of coldhard, if at heart you knew it was gonna drive most reasonable people crazy with it's infectious rhythm and monotonous beat?

Sure... I am a poet after all. Why not make a hit song sell. No matter how monotonous it sounds. :)

Would you nurse a friend who said they have Aids, needed your help, as nobody else will help?

[MystyrMystyry]

Tough one - depends how much it changes their personality.

I'm a firm believer in distant happy memories not making for a solid current friendship if one side is just a royal pain - cruel sounding perhaps, but though I'm often mistaken for one I'm no martyr for lost causes (I've had too many unhappy times, and who knows if tomorrow brings an unseen bus screaming straight for me)

Besides which this welfare society is an almost ideal Utopia, and there are qualified professionals - who would I be to interfere with their work?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a hedonist - just borderline depressive, and when I go down everyone goes down with me - it's for everyone's benefit that I remain as happy as possible

Would you like to host the 7pm project as special guest?

[Maryd.]

How stupid of me not to notice that you are an Aussie... I hate that show. Sorry, mind you I don't watch TV anymore so could care less to host any show, let alone that one.

Would you be able to live alone if you had no choice?

[MystyrMystyry]

Managed to lo these many years - I can be self-obsessive sonova because I've come to realise that a lot of people make me feel lonelier in their company than I feel when I'm alone anyway. I've never really met anyone who's broadcasting and receiving on my frequency and therefore I've found solace in my passions/pastimes over emotional involvement with that too often cold/bleak sensation

I've been in close relationships - at first at least - but find if no marriage/commitment or common goals are incorporated into the union, after a short while both parties start looking for an escape pod

Would you ever travel alone to another country, secretly in search of greater happiness, personal fullfilment, a new start, whatever, knowing that you may find it and could never (at least in your heart) return?

[Maryd.]

Now, now, now... Such a question. I wonder how that came to your head? Such an amazing question sir. You have outdone yourself with this one.
Yes...

Would you sell all your valuable possessions just so you can afford to travel the world with a lover?

[MystyrMystyry]

I must confess I'm quietly proud of that one - so many imaginitive possibilities in it

As to its origin? Lately it's what I've been thinking about, though I know I could never truly escape myself and so the most important reason to run would still be following me like a continual reminder of my failings - ultimately I think I'd just feel like a personal fraud to myself - but for an extended holiday to see (if I could flick back home in an instant if it started to sour)

It just really comes down to:

Whatever gets you through the night - John Lennon


Tricky - I don't have any valuable possessions left, not much cash, but a powerful hope in my chest that I won't end my days like I'm currently living my days

Meaning - I've done dumb things for love that have cost me, and when blind love's eyes opened I regretted it beyond the happy memory

But you are a far more emotional soul than I believe I have left in me, so in my imagination I guess I have sold everything for those glimpses into a possible future

[Maryd.]

That's very deep MystyrMystyry... Very deep indeed!

You didn't leave a question though!

[MystyrMystyry]

Oh pu-lease! Of course you may call me simply Mystyry (the whole thing I have to force myself to type whenever I get booted - no point in two of us doing it - also had I realised that most would shorten it to MM I would definitely have elected to go with The Chosen One, or probably better)

I'd explain how I arrived at it, but it'd only serve to ruin the Mystyry not to mention Mystyque:))

I did forget to post a question - twice now - which can only mean one of two things: I'm fading or I've been sitting here slightly too long


God appears in the sky to you, but in a way you don't recognise. He commands you to do something without explanation (like building an ark) but it's so beyond real it's frightening - have you gone nuts? are you dreaming? is it some elaborate hoax? - do you ask him for more information or no deal? Go ahead and do whatever the command may be (humanly possible, but seemingly irrelevant)? Simply refuse for not elaborating fully or prepared to discuss it further? Ignore the comand on the grounds that you've most likely temporarily gone bananas and you want to keep it secret? Or waht?

[Maryd.]

If you even think for once, that God, would even contemplate asking me to do anything... Then all I have to say to that is, you are as crazy as I am.

Would you consider logging on this forum as somebody else, just so you can toy with someone you didn't like?

[MystyrMystyry]

No - final word on the matter

I'm not into messing with people's minds - I'm an equal opportunity destroyer, that is I'd destroy myself before I even had the thought of trying to interfere with someone's talent, happiness, personality, etc

I regard myself as sane because of this - it's the insane who seek to destroy others before themselves

A good yardstick, no?

That's why some of my postings may appear bold and overconfident - I'm not intentionally trying to undermine anyone, just a bit of lighthearted banter, sometimes a bit revealing of my humanity, sometimes not, but always to inform you of my not-so-mystyry


Would you? I mean it's probably easy to do. But why bother? Isn't there enough avoidable nonsense in the world?

Every time I post something revealing I run the risk of someone hiding behind an Avatar flaming the real me. So far no-one's thought to do so, I suspect because they all have a balanced sense of humour and can interpret why I'd say something controversal or silly in the same sentence.

But that's who I am, ohers may differ, others may dance.


When I was young I thought I was pretty damn smart some days because of books, but you reach a point in the early growth period when you realise that they don't teach anything directly practical unless accompanied by an instructor


And you? Would you don another identity to gain information that's readily available if you ask nicely and are a little patient because people aren't machines?

[MystyrMystyry]

Once on another forum I had quite a private message rapport going over many weeks - and one day I logged in to find the other party had made public all my private messages. I don't know why, nor did the mod, who's reaction was to ban them immediately (the other party, not my messages unfortunately).


Would you like to be famous for something other than what you'd like to be famous for?

[faithosaurus]

Depends what that 'something is. If it's a good thing, then yes. Don't want publicity for being an idiot, now.

Would you ever be willing to go on an extravagant trip to a tropical area of your choice for Christmas, without anyone (friends, family, etc.)?

[MystyrMystyry]

Will you meet up with me there?

I heard of a bloke who'd amassed enough of a fortune to buy himself his own island wherein he could escape the ratrace, but a couple of years down the road loneliness got to him and he set aside part of it for building a resort. True story.


Would you be willing to undergo a scientific experiment that could prove to be the solution to 50% of medical horrors, but had a 50% risk of dire consequence?

[MystyrMystyry]

(Actually I didn't answer the last question - if there would be no chance of anyone around, a fridge stocked full of fresh food, no extreme wild animals or malaria mosquitoes, then yes, I think about it at least once a month anyway)

[Maryd.]

Yes... I am willing... Why are you ill?

Would you eat food you disliked, that mad you nauseous, even... Just to impress the little lady who cooked it?

[MystyrMystyry]

No, because memories of food poisoning are still too fresh


Would you marry someone you'd met through a close friend who'd described them as the best, because they've known them for ages, and when you meet on a first date they asked you

[Maryd.]

Ah, er no... Why on earth would you marry someone you knew nothing about?

Would you accept a wish to live to 100, but have no memory of your past?

[AllieG]

omg, absolutely!! lol.

[Maryd.]

omg, absolutely!! lol.

Oh dear, you sound just like me... But you forgot to leave a "Would you"
:)

Would you share an island with blood thirsty animals, so long as you were allowed to own it?

[aliengirl]

Yes, if Tarzan like abilities come as a bonus pack. Otherwise I'll have to decline the offer.

Would you read your favorite novel in candle light if it is in very small print?

[farnoosh]

yes i would.


would you go say hello to some people you know that are gatherd together or would you take another path and ignore them?

[Maryd.]

Depends who theyn are?... No, I would probably say hello.

Would you live the life of a street person, if you had to?

[aliengirl]

If I had to... why then I'd live happily.

[Maryd.]

Yes, have almost neared that time limit. :)

Would you ever consider living in Australia?

[qimissung]

YES!!!

[Maryd.]

Sure, why not? He is my favourite avatar.

Would you eat an onion like eating an apple?

[Heathcliff]

No. I've nobody to impress.

Would you put food colouring in mash potato to make it more appealing to children?

[Maryd.]

Ewww, you know I wouldn't.

Would you eat out of a plate a kitten with watery eyes, ate from?

[stephofthenight]

no,
would you leave litnet if you could pick 5 members to live with you :D

[Maryd.]

Yes, why? Do you want me to go? :(

Would you live in an igloo?

[stephofthenight]

nope I love my Maryd ;) I would simply come to you.

And add colorfull explicits here that precede the word no... I don't like cold

Would you trade lives with a celeb?

[Maryd.]

Only Cher.

Would you be able to live the day in the shoes, of the Queen of England?

[stephofthenight]

yes, and i would live it in all of them. can you imagine how many shoes she has to choose from? I mean really, her closet must be orgasmicly filled with shoes ... it would be heavan...

would you report me for stealing a few of those shoes?

[Maryd.]

No, I would slap you wrist and send you to bed without dinner. :)

Would you ever smack a child?

[aliengirl]

Would hate to do so. But then, who knows?


Would you belittle someone just because she/he is poor?

[iamnobody]

Never

If your friend got a new haircut she loves, but it really looks dreadful and people are making jokes, would you say something to her..or to them.

[Maximilianus]

her closet must be orgasmicly filled with shoes ... it would be heavan...
:p


If your friend got a new haircut she loves, but it really looks dreadful and people are making jokes, would you say something to her..or to them.
I would.


Would you report me for not reporting a stealer who is very close to me, in terms of fondness?

[OfHighInterest]

No, unless your knowledge of it was important in like a court of law.

Would you ever go on a boat and re-enact titanic?

[Maryd.]

No never did learn how to swim in my younger years.

Would you eat food that has fallen on the floor?

[OfHighInterest]

There are variables into that, if its a clean floor and the 3 second rule applies yes.
No, to eating food on the floor.

Would you spend a day outside dressed as a power ranger?

[Maryd.]

Ha, now that would be a sight to see. Yes, sure why not.

Would you be able to live on a deserted island?

[OfHighInterest]

Would you dress a dog up in a raincoat?

[Maryd.]

um, er, well am a culprit of putting a pretty pink outfit on my King Charles Cavalier, but not a raincoat. (yet - hee hee)

Would you change religion (or join a new one), just to please a partner?

[OfHighInterest]

Depends on how orthodox he was expecting me to be.
I would attempt it if it would please them.

Would you force your partner to change their religion?

[Maryd.]

No, it would never happen.

Would you lie about your age, to get a job?

[OfHighInterest]

No, isn't it illegal.

Would you tell a white lie to make someone feel better?

[Maryd.]

I think it's illegal... But had a friend who did it to get a job, about 20 odd years ago.

I try to avoid it if possible. Usually covering up with a humours joke.

Would you wait for a friend who has stood you up for more than an hour?

[OfHighInterest]

I've already had that trouble many times. The longest I've had to wait is 2 and 1/2 hours.
So yes I will wait.

Would you stay close to someone who is pushing you away for the wrong reasons?

[Maryd.]

Oh, now that is a tough one. It all depends on the reasons.

Would you let someone push you away without an explanation?

[OfHighInterest]

Had that too, my friends aren't the best of people sometime but I don't want to disappoint.
If they didn't think it was the right thing to do they wouldn't of done it I guess.

Would you prefer sympathy or empathy when something goes wrong?

[Maryd.]

As I suffer empathy, I know what it is like, so sympathy.

Would you eat a burnt meal prepared by your partner, so as not to offend them?

[OfHighInterest]

Well it depends, burnt chips taste good, but excessively like charcoal then no.

Would you get surgery to take away an imperfection on your body?

[Maryd.]

[misterreplicant]

Only if the benefits out weighed the costs.

Would you kill to avenge a loved one's death?

[farnoosh]

No.

would you lie if you know it wouldn't make any difference?

[Heathcliff]

No. I'd lie to make a difference.

Would you go cannibal if you were about to starve and there was a dead body in front of you?

[papayahed]

Depends on how long the body had been dead but yes probably.

Would you call the police if you heard your neighbors arguing violently?

[JuniperWoolf]

Not unless I heard someone get hit.

[MatthewFarlow]

I certainly will on Easter!

Would you use the carpool lane by yourself?

[Bluehound]

Never.

If you were really good at a sport ( premiership football level) would you give it up to be a writer?

[snape]

Yep... Wannabe a writer.

If Ogres really existed, would you leave your shool or your job to be the first to catch a real live Ogre?

[iamnobody]

No way. I would be the first member of PETO. (People for the Ethical Treatment of Ogres)

Would you run into a burning building to save a hampster?

[snape]

If it was my own hampster. :banana:

Would you live in a swamp like an Ogre?

[Three Sparrows]

I already do.

Would you cover somebody's hair in syrup while he/she sleeps?

[Maryd.]

Ah, er, no. Hmmm.

Would you feed a crocodile (red meat) by hand?

[Tournesol]

I would surely love the thrill of it...as long as the meat is a large enough piece so that he doesn't grab my hand too!

Would you walk up to a total stranger and give them a chocolate bar, just because you thought they were cute?

[faithosaurus]

Totally, haha.

Would you go outside and hold up a sign saying "Honk if you think I'm cute"?

[Maryd.]

Sure.. Don't think I will get one horn beep though... Hahahaha.

Would you tell your partner/life companion, know a dark secret about yourself?

[adityasam]

Yep Surely!

Would you consider the personal life of a musician if you wanna be his/her fan?

[Maryd.]

Sure, why not.

Would you live on a deserted island alone, even if there was no internet?

[adityasam]

NO...Hate heat!

Would you live in stinging snowy conditions for life?

[Maryd.]

So long as I wasn't annoyed by anyone. Probably yes.

Would you care for an elderly family memeber, if they needed you?

[adityasam]

Absolutely!

Would you bungee jump for 250,000 Aussie $s?

[Maryd.]

I'm not a money person. But am a wimp, so no. Hee hee.

Would you allow a friend to drink from the same glass as yourself?

[adityasam]

OMG No way...Not even my brother!

Same?

[Maryd.]

No, am also a tad pedantic that way.

Would you win in a verbal battle with your parents or sibling?

[adityasam]

Parents maybe...

You?

[Maryd.]

Nope... I never win.

Would you go to an opera?

[adityasam]

Nope...Find it sort of boring...

Would you learn to play a guitar or the drums?

[Maryd.]

Sure have always wanted to learn the guitar.

Would you listen to music in a different language, than your own?

[adityasam]

Yes, English mostly, I rarely listen to songs of my native language!

Would you try a new routine or stick to the one you have right now?

[Maryd.]

I often change my routine. (Call me ADHD) But I get bored of things easily.

Would you leave your country if you were offered the job of your dreams, elsewhere?

[adityasam]

Yep...No problem!

Would you stay awake for more than 24 hours?

[Maximilianus]

I was once going to bed, someone needed to talk, and I stayed awake all night long to keep them company until the dawn of the other day. I very much doubt the other person would do the same for me, because when I needed it... well... I looked around and it was just me. Things happen in a very curious way. I bet they don't even remember now, but I suppose that forgetfulness is the standard in our species. Anyway, I didn't do it expecting a retribution. I just expected something different to what turned out. So yes, I can stay awake for more than 24 hours if need be.


Would you say you can tell the difference between a male and a man?

Would you ever live in a tent?

[kingoflombards]

Yes, but only if it were warm outside!


Would you forgive me absence?

[Maryd.]

Forgiven. :)

Would you stick around for a while?

[kingoflombards]

I would love to, but to say yes would be a lie. I will visit from time to time, but I can't promise to be here all the time. I bit off more than I could chew this time and took 19 credit hours at my college.


Would you consider getting a better degree(in schooling OR karate :) )than you already have?

Would you play games with someone romantically?

[papayahed]

What? Like Parcheesi? Yes! Mind games? No.


Would you tell me the truth if I asked how you liked my new haircut?

[tonywalt]

No, I would say I liked it. I wouldn't say you looked bad or fat in any outfit. I have learned.

What percentage of women would actually admit to playing subtle games at the very beginning of a relationship?

[Delta40]

what games? (wanna see my cleavage?)

I'd say very few because as alot of women know, we're simply testing the waters...

Would you drown puppies or kittens if you could not keep them?

[aliengirl]

Ugh, no, never! I'd give them to some friend or neighbor.

Would you wear a dress if others say it's old fashioned?

[MatthewFarlow]

Well, in my case, it would be considered highly state of the art.

Would you visit Jurassic if it existed and was affordable?

[NikolaiI]

Probably, but my dream job is astronaut so I wouldn't have to worry about that conundrum.

[Scheherazade]

Would you like to be called after midnight?

[The Comedian]

Nope. No at all.

Would you make a promise that you knew you PROBABLY couldn't keep?

[PoeticPassions]

No. I don't really make promises anyway (unless I am as certain as I can be than I can keep it under normal circumstances).

Would you tell someone you love them even though you don't?

[JuniperWoolf]

I have to. I don't love my racist woman-hating jackass of a grandfather, but if I didn't pretend to it would make my dad very sad.

Would you under any circumstances chew someone else's fingernails?

[Maximilianus]

Not in this life... I presume there must be better things to chew.

Would you not answer the phone just because you cannot be bothered to walk to the other room?

[The Comedian]

Oh hell yes. I avoid answering the phone for all sorts of reasons.

[papayahed]

erm, probably, but I'm getting better. (Don't ask if you don't want to know)


Would you and your significant other wear matching outfits?

[PoeticPassions]

Unless it was Halloween or something of the sort, no. Wait, maybe for fun. Depends on the outfit. (THINK: team Zissou)

Would you drop your phone in the toilet on purpose to get a new phone?

[tonywalt]

I have a set routine on this one. It depends on what's in the toilet, but yes I would.

Would you go to a bar that wasn't your 'usual' alone?

[papayahed]

Probably if I was a guy.

If your coworker had a little snot on their nose would you tell them?

[papayahed]

[Pendragon]

Yeah, back to the 70's under two conditions: My body then with my memories now. A LOT of things would change!

Would you wish harm on you worst enemy?

[tonywalt]

Yes, but it takes alot to become an enemy.

No, not in a person. In an ideology, yes. (and that was not a 'would you' question :) :p)

Would you kill someone to save the life of ten others?

[Pendragon]

I truly couldn't say, killing someone is so permanent...
On the other hand, I couldn't see allowing ten people to die if killing one would stop that...

[tonywalt]

Yes. (That's nearly double by standard fee).

Would you join the military and and work in forward combat areas? (And no, not in defence of country-just plain signing up).

[Pendragon]

No. That is why I didn't follow my father into military service--he served in both Korea and 'Nam, not as a draftee, but as a volunteer for the army. Of course back then he would have been sent anyway as a draftee, but he would only have had to serve in Korea. The two tours of duty in 'Nam were all volunteer, and he continued to serve in the National Guard for the next 14 years after 'Nam. I was going to volunteer, but as I talked to the recruiters, they began to promise me the moon for joining up, so I figured there had to be a catch somewhere!

Would you continue to attend the same church if the priest/pastor/minister were caught in a scandal?

[Annamariah]

That would depend on what happened after the scandal, how it would be dealt with. It's extremely difficult to imagin our pastor getting involved in anything scandalous, though...

[Annamariah]

We posted at the same time, it seems...

But sure, why not. I'd like to take part in a musical again.

I repeat my question: Would you sing a song (solo) at your friends' wedding if they asked you to?

[papayahed]

Yeah!!! Sadly, no one will ever ask me to sing anywhere. I tested it this morning by singing a few bars on the plant radio and I was told to please stop.

[LadyLuck]

[LadyLuck]

With great enthusiasm, I'm always up for an adventure :)

Would you have a celebration all by yourself?

[cafolini]

I've done this more than once.

Would you tell a small lie to spare someone's feelings?

Of course I'd lie to spare suffering. The problem is that whether it is a small or a big lie depends on circumstances. And beyond that, who is getting spared at the cost of what or who else? Tough issues involved in this. But I preffer your choice over the absolutely impossible restrictions that would be demanded from never telling one.

What's the name of the victim or the criminal if it is you?

You sure you wouldn't be living in Japan and Norway for the blubber?

No I wouldn't touch the stuff.


A great way to keep fit is to walk around in Summer clothes all Winter long. Any takers?

[cacian]

No I would not.
If I am to walk around in winter then I would need to wear something appropriate otherwise the walk would not materialise.

the truth is always out there. Would you pretend to be someone else you are not because that is the only way your book will sell? ie ( would you claim tobe the opposite sex to sell your books?)

[tonywalt]

I would do all of that, and much more!

Would you trade places with the idle rich at this very moment?

[Triter]

No. Lateral movements, at the moment, take way too much effort.

Would you consume something you couldn't recognize?

[iamnobody]

Never.

Would you try something you thought was sure to be disgusting just because someone says, "It's a delicacy"?

[irishpixieb]

Would ya run (as fast as you can as long as you can) ten miles just to see someone before they leave?

10 miles however sounds like a lot of running wether one is able to sustain is another question.

[JuniperWoolf]

I once didn't speak for a week, so I guess I also didn't lie during that time.

Would you pay over $100 for a pair of sunglasses?

[skib]

Absolutely not. Firstly- those 100 dollar sunglasses don't protect your eyes any better than my 5 dollar sunglasses. Secondly- I will lose them 100 times faster than my 5 dollar sunglasses. Thirdly- If I don't lose them, I will break them within a few hours. Fourthly- I hate wearing glasses anyhow.

Would you willingly not wear clothes knowing that they will get wet and you will be infinitely colder than you would be without them?

[Haunted]

yep when I shower

Would you flash someone you have a crush on?

[PoeticPassions]

haha, no.

Would you go out with someone who is in a relationship or married?

[cacian]

no I would not.
would you eat something you never tried before even though you do not like the look of it?

[JuniperWoolf]

One of the Phillipino housekeepers at the hotel where I work fed me corn nuts in vinegar just last week. It was as gross as it sounds.

Would you be present for a human dissection if it's for a class you're taking? I once had to hold a femur for anatomy, also gross.

[tonywalt]

No.

Would you break up with your partner for a millions dollars?(hm, I like that question)

[PoeticPassions]

[tonywalt]

Yes.

[cacian]

Would you attempt to solve a decades old murder?

[aliengirl]

Yes, it would be so adventurous.

Would you help me in the above attempt?
