Would You??

No. This type of thing has a history of going wrong. That said, I was part of such a test back in grade school. The US Government used students in Southwest Virgina and Uppereast Tennessee to test various things under the guise of "vaccines" They eventually released a formal apology long after the fact when it was disclosed through declassified documents under the Freedom of Information. I remember an injection and a weird little circle studded with fine needles they pressed into your wrist. That I know of, there were no serious reactions--that I know of!

Would you sell your blood for cash?

I find it sad that even in this hypothetical scenario, no one wants to buy my sperm. Yes, if only out of spite 'cause of the sperm thing. And for the cash.

Would you marry a stunning, nineteen-year-old Ukrainian goddess who you met through Slotsky's International Dating Service, knowing she'd transform into full-blown Eastern European she-devil a few years down the line, leaving you bankrupt and in debt to the mob, if, during the first few years, she'd be your fantasy made flesh and let you do that thing to her involving balloon animals?

Pretty obvious no from me. I guess you could say yes, arguing that you can just break up with her when things go south. But if I'd know beforehand, I wouldn't commit anything to it.

Would you live in complete isolation for a year if it could advance science (but you're not sure how much of an impact it will make, if much at all).

(Again, kind of a true story. I read the title of an article which said that apparently a few people did this. Maybe I should look it up again.)

I almost do that now. People can be so nasty to people who have bipolar disorder complicated by clinical depression... Would my isolation help Science? Perhaps as a study on how mental illness affects one's life

Would you travel overseas to meet a friend you met here on litnet in person?

If I like, somehow got into a long-distance relationship then yes. As a bit of a stretch, if I would travel to the US or Canada or something for a holiday anyways and people that I liked lived not too far away, I would want to see them. But then I would not be going oversees specifically for the purpose of seeing someone from here, so that probably does not count.

Would you take a long journey (being a few hours, say from 2 onwards) to visit someone during the night if they were feeling really down and they needed you?

It would depend on who the person was, if they where a really good friend or a loved one then I probably would.

If you were to go to comic con who/what would you dress up as?

Poison ivy perhaps...
If you could have a super sense but the cost was to completely loose another sense would you do it and what would be your choices?

I don't think id do it...even though we live in a fallen imperfect world, we're created and have the senses we do from a sense of wholeness and I think even if I had super-hearing, id hate for instance, to not be able to have a sense of smell.

would you?

Would I what? Think you left out the essential bit there, bounty, old chum. Unless you were going to say would I wear a codpiece to a bar mitzvah, in which case I'm appalled at the suggestion. I would never go to a bar mitzvah.

Would you participate in a pagan ritual that did not feature human sacrifice?

Well they are not half as fun without the human sacrifice but nonetheless I love a good ol' dancing naked around the fire in the forest.

If you received a mysterious invitation to an exclusive new underground club of which you knew nothing about would you go?

Nay, as reclusive as I am, it would have to be a plot against me

If you found yourself in love with someone your family disapproved of would you chose to follow your heart, if your family then disowned you?

Yes.

Would you speak to a h.s. or college graduation? (what might you say)

Yes. A good long talk about how bad all this "I am offended by _________________!" is affecting life here in America.

Would you talk to High School students on the dangers of bullying?

Yes, but not to recite the approved litany of banal, infantile drek that the feckless half-wits who run our schools spew at the kids nowadays; but rather to tell them that bullying, alas, is a part of life, and that they will have to deal with it till their dying day, and as such need to develop coping strategies and a pair of big, hairy balls pronto--at which point someone in the audience would jump up and shout "I'm offended!"

Would you use cloning technology to resurrect some of the really big-chested glamour girls of the 1950s?

the intention was to pass along the question I replied to...

"I dont think id do it....would you?"

no on the cloning...but sometimes I think if I could have my dog of 19 1/2 yrs back...

would you do the one way trip to mars thing? (I think we've done this one before maybe)

I think so. maybe.

Would you buy ice cream from a plant that had been previously shown to have listeria in 99% of their products? The plant had been shut down, cleaned, and is now reopened and ready for business.

I think yes, but id wanna do more homework about the processes involved after the cleaning to reassure no re-occurrences.

would you play survivor (the reality tv show on cbs) if you had the opportunity?

No, I would not, I wouldn't make it through the first day because I would make like zero effort to form any alliances or make any friends. I would just be like you're stupid now leave me alone. And even if I didn't verbalize those words, my face would say it.

If if could be done successfully would you have your brain transplanted into another body that was younger healthier and or better looking than yours knowing that it would mean the death of the individual whose body you would be taking?

Wow, you've opened a can of non-arthropod invertebrates there. My first instinct was to say yes, because, if you've met as many spectacularly good-looking people, models and such, as I have, you know how many of them are living testaments to the fact that God does not give with both hands, i.e. they ain't got fourteen cents worth o' brains. Thus, they are both a waste of space and a waste of some beautiful genetics better enjoyed by a worthy soul like yours truly.

Then, however, I reconsidered, realized that, moron or no moron, those people have lives to which they are morally entitled, such that I wouldn't want to incur the bad karma of greasing them and stealing their corpses for myself. Also, it's possible their lives were given to them by a god who's bigger than me and can beat me up. So, in conclusion, no, I wouldn't 'ave me brain transplanted in said manner, Dark Muse.

Now, would you buy your favorite Victoria's Secret Angel a bottle of tequila, knowing she'd quickly drink it and become open to suggestion?

only if she would respect me and herself in the morning...smiles...

muse, at various times ive had friends tell me I should try out for survivor but I tell them I don't think id last long on the show either. id rather be one of the staff who creates the game conditions and the challenges.

if you were at a concert and the lead singer wanted to pull you up on stage to sing along, would you go?

That is a tough one, because I really cannot sing at all, but I might go anyway because it would be cool.

Presuming you could afford it would you order a high advanced AI (looks human, acts human, talks) to stay in your house and do all of your household chores for you?

Where would I go? You said stay in my house, from which I inferred I'd be elsewhere. Now, if you add to that list go to work and earn money on your behalf, then the answer is a resounding Aye. Matter of fact, the AI would probably get promoted and generally be more successful than me. So, all it'd need to do is deposit the paychecks in my account, and I'd travel the world sampling local cheeses and lasses till the authorities caught up with me. Or until the AI realized it'd been had and came for me.

If you were head over heels in love with your best friend's wife and had the power to disguise yourself as your friend so perfectly, the wife wouldn't know even when you two were intimate, would you do so? This would be a situation where there was no other way to get close to her, ever, and you'd realized you'd die without ever having held her once.

Sorry if that was unclear but the intention was that you would still be living in the house the AI would just be "living" there with you.

No. I'm would be making the husband (I'm a chick so I'm reversing it) a cheater.

If given the oppotunity would you do that sky dive from the edge of space?

F**k, YEAH!

<cough> Sorry.

Would you go down the stairs into a darkened basement armed with nothing but a flashlight when there's a monster on the loose, as every security guard in every horror movie ever made does?

No. Well, do I need something from the basement?

Would you run a 5K for charity?

If it was a charity of my choosing, and if walking was an option, so I guess technically no I would not actually run one.

If you had an identical twin who preformed better in job interviews than you and there was a job you really wanted would you have your twin go in your place if they were willing and you believed it would increase your chances at getting the job?

oh that's an interesting one. I think if I had an identical twin id want to do all sorts of fun "changing places" and faking people out things with him, but, although tempting, I don't think id do that one.

in an election that you didn't plan on voting in, would you indeed vote if someone who wasn't allowed to vote paid you to vote for a candidate for whom you otherwise wouldn't have voted?

Can I take the 5th?

If I didn't really care who won anyway than maybe? But if I didn't agree with the politics of the person they wanted me to vote for than no.

If you knew you could get away with it would you cheat on an important exam you didn't think you would be able to pass even if you studied for it?

Yes. The keys to this being that you mentioned I would get away with it, and that it was an important exam. In that case, in the words of John Cleese in drag, intercourse the penguin.

In a zombie apocalypse, where you were isolated somewhere with an old or sick person who wasn't very mobile, and only enough food and water for one person, and a horde of zombies approaching so you had to leave quickly, would you try to help the person get away, or grab the food and water and run, knowing that you would escape but the other person would become a meal?

Logically the old sick person is not going to survive long in such a world anyway and would just be a liability, so I would take the food and water and run. I would, if I could leave the old sick-person a weapon if I had one to spare. With that they could choose to either fight in a last stand, or take their own life.

Would you get in a relationship with someone whose previous spouse had a mysterious death?

Eff, no. Matter of fact, I wouldn't even get into a relationship. They're best avoided, and now that VR is almost here, I'd just as soon don an Oculus Rift and interact <cough> with a visually stunning AI named Beatrice.

If you could dive into a completely convincing (to your brain) virtual world, where everything was to your liking, your fantasy existence, because an AI read your brain and produced all the conditions, events and people that would give you utmost fulfillment, but doing so meant leaving the real world and all its inhabitants behind forever, would you? Remember: You can have anything that is in the real world in your virtual one.

muse, I wonder if it matters who the old person is? a loved one, or parent, as opposed to a stranger?

I recently tried to read "pride and prejudice and zombies"---initially it was interesting, but the novelty wore off very quickly, and I didn't finish it.

I wouldn't...real life has meaning and purpose, especially when things aren't to our liking.

if you somehow had the opportunity to know the day of your death, would you want to know it?

Nope. I think I would start obsessing about it.

Would you move into one of those tiny houses if given the house?

Heck, no. I think those tiny house people are 'tards, and they prolly reek of patchouli to boot.

Would you have a harem if you could?

im pretty much a one woman type of fellow...but, well, maybe for a weekend?

if you had a chance to act in a play or movie, but the character you had to play was evil/mean/nasty/wicked/absolutely terrible---would you do it?

Heck, yes! I've often heard actors say that villains are the most fun to play, and I think I can understand why.

If you could transfer your consciousness into a new, young, beautiful body of your choice, would you do it?

Well, I'm 55, overweight, thinning hair, and impotent. Darn right I would!

Would you reveal a nasty secret to your best friend if it involved their spouse?

Depends what you mean by nasty. If it's "By the way, Mike, your wife has the clap from that basketball player she's been balling on the side," I'd probably tell him.

Would you ball another man's wife if you were a basketball player and could get away with that sort of thing 'cause your lawyers protected you and you had paternity insurance?
