Hahaha! Does that mean that the smaller the salad the smaller the confessions? No, I don't think I would. I don't want to know everyone's deep, dark secrets. Ignorance is bliss ;)
If a scientist told you he could give you a super power, but that power could only be the ability to read every other word in someone's mind, would you take the superpower or remain normal?
Remain normal. Firstly, leave well enough alone, be content with what you've got, unless the prospective change is really awesome--like the power to stop those little hairs from growing in your ears. Which leads to point two: What kind of lame super power is reading every other word in other people's minds? For one thing, most other people are 'tards, and even reading everything in their minds would be about as thrilling as sniffing mailboxes. Secondly, as you've said elsewhere, ignorance is bliss; I neither know nor care about other people's thoughts.
If a scientist could give you the ability to fly, but only on your back so you'd always be looking up at the sky when you flew, would you take it?
Yes.
Would you emigrate permanently to a country where you do not currently reside?
Traditionally and under normal circumcisions, I would say no. America is still the safest, most prosperous, most well-functioning country on earth, where despite recent abuses by gov't, you have more in the way of rights and protections than elsewhere. However, there are scenarios, ones I've been worried about lately, in which America could go down the crapper. That doesn't mean there's anywhere else to go that would be safer and offer more options, but if there were, like northern Canada or Australia, I might indeed. However, American citizenship is a precious thing indeed, so giving that up would be one heck of a decision.
Would you invest anywhere from a modest to a substantial amount of money preparing yourself to be fairly self-sustaining at home and also be able to defend yourself against looters, marauders, assorted violent douche bags?
Not at this point.
Would you be able to inject yourself with insulin?
That's interesting. I've wondered that a number of times in the last couple of years, because I have high blood sugar and I know I could join the legion of Americans with diabetes. If I had to, yes, though I would hope some of the alternative means of maintaining insulin levels I read about, various high tech devices, would be available soon.
There is a phenomenon sometimes called bladder shyness, in which men have difficulty peeing in front of others, such as in a line of urinals in a men's room. If the assembled Victoria's Secret Angels were watching you, could you calmly take it out and pee, without trouble?
Yes. I can pee in front of anyone.
Would your family and/or friends be surprised of the contents of your autobiography? If so, what level of surprise or lack of surprise?
HELL YES. ;-) If I were truly honest and forthcoming, my autobiography would shock six shades o' crap outta them.
That was a good one, btw, Tony. ;-)
How shocked would your family be at the contents of some of the video files that have been or currently are on your hard drive?
Not shocked. Mostly hours of documentaries, photography stuff, art stuff and uumm, well, zzzzzzzzzzz.
Would you ex-communicate a parent or a child because of a bad relationship? (and I eliminate murder, incest etc. just plain old, "can't stand them" reasons).
Not excommunicate but set definite boundaries. I'm a sucker.
Would you ever toilet paper someone's house?
TPing a house is not my style, but I won't rule it out; if someone has really gone the extra mile to be a turd, anything's fair game.
Can you think of a series of events, developments and headlines that would cause you to acquire some weapons, even if you don't own any, never have and weren't planning to?
No, I cannot.
Would you want your 18 year old self to know your own future? (I would imagine this question will be answered with a certain degree of self-care).
Hell, no. When I was eighteen I still had hope. ;-)
If the zombies/rioters were coming for you and your family, huddled as you are in a bunker, and there was a total arsehole in there with you, and as you mentally prioritized you realized you needed every second and every resource to defend your family and yourself, would you throw the total arsehole out, knowing he'd be eaten/killed by the approaching horde? Please explain your reasoning.
I wouldn't throw him out, as zombies and rioters may cause him/her harm, which I would rather they did not.
Would you offer an idea as to why litnet seems to to decline in activity, over the last few years?
People seem to be migrating to Facebook and Whatsup. In fact Litnet still has a lot of activity. One of the literature foruns I visited was ridden with adds of Nike and Addidas.
Would you change your country to live with a lover?
Yes, there is quite a bit of activity and one lots of non-member 'grazing' , anyway.
Yes, I would consider a move, with a lover.
Would you wave the flag of your country at a non-sporting event?
A non-sporting event? You mean like an execution? If it were the execution of a terrorist and traitor, I bloody would. I'd even paint myself like one of those fat dorks at a football game who shakes his gut in the bleachers, waves little flags and wears a beer helmet.
Would you wear a beer helmet? At any sort of event.
yes, for certain, no brainer
Well, technically, there'd have to be a brain involved, as you wear it on your head. :-0 Now, since you forgot to ask the next question, I'll insert one:
If it's a bright, sunny morning, would you rather get up on only half the amount of sleep you needed, or sleep in and get up late morning?
Sleep in.
Would you ever consider becoming inactive on this forum? (I was inactive for a year or so, no good reason).
If it really dropped off to the point where nobody responded to anything I posted, and all interest in the games and discussions seemed to have died, I might, yes. That would be sad, though, as there really isn't another site like this, and everything else is social media, which is dildonic.
If you knew you'd become a pudgy middle-aged bugger whose body would never look the way you wanted, despite all effort in the gym, would you be able to finally just accept it and try and be happy as is? I may or may not be going through this now.
:biggrin5:To be sure! As they say in my country: regard as already mended, what you canīt mend anymore. I would try to keep healthy though.
Would you accept a first class ticket to Mars?
Hell, Yes! I've been waiting for that ticket since I were a lad.
Would you have another mini bagel if you really wanted one, as I do now?
Yes
Would you be double the time you spend on litnet?
I think you meant would I double the amount of time I spend here, and the answer is yes, if more people participated regularly.
Would you feel envious of me if you knew I was about to receive a shiny new Galaxy S7? Oh, go on, say you would. UPS will bring it round any day now.
I would, since you insist.
Would you be delighted to notice that you received an extra copy of Aurelius' Meditations that you could give to a friend?
Hell, yes. That's one of the most valuable texts ever written, and I dare say every person on the planet could benefit from it. It is distilled wisdom, something sorely lacking in this world, needless to say.
Would you be delighted to discover you'd received an extra copy of Bondage Monthly you could give to a friend?
Yes.
Would you start your own business? (and if you have a business, would you do it again).
Yes, if I were capable of such a thing.
Would you fart under the covers while sleeping with a beautiful woman?
No! Of course not!
WE HAD SOME GOOD YUCKS OVER THIS THREAD.
If you survived a plane crash in the Andes but ran out of food, would you eat the (already dead) men or women first?
See, the problem with this one, PB, is that as soon as one indicates which sex he'd start with, there immediately follows the next question, that being which part of the body one eats first. And then we're on thin ice, what with you being such a lascivious person, with your constant appeals to the salacious. So let's do it this way. Before you and the other survivors of said Andes crash froze to death or starved, would you play one last game of Pokemon Go? You never know how many rare Pokemon might be hiding up in them mountains.
No. I haven't caught the pokemon craze.
Would you live in one of those mini houses?
Hey Papayahed! Welcome back! :)
No, I tried, but Mickey got suspicious and, hey, we didn't want to hurt the guy.Quote:

I don't know what kind of circles you move in, PB, but I've never felt that bragging I'd et a fried tarantula would boost my status. In other words, heck NO!
Meanwhile, your Minnie Mouse joke was staggeringly good/bad and would be perfect for our now revived joke thread. Do jump in there when you can and favor us with a pun or two.
If you could make love to whichever model or movie star you reckon is the hottest in the world, but only when they were a senior citizen, would you?
Mrs Bum, of course.
I actually did eat a deep-fried tarantula which I got off a woman crouched beside a big basket of them on a roadside in rural Cambodia. It made me so sick they almost didn't let me back into Taiwan. So to answer my own question, no from now on I'm just going to tell people I ate it.
If someone tried to rob you at gun point, and you thought there was about an 80% chance the gun was a fake, would you hand over your money? (You are carrying about $100).
I probably hand over $100 to anyone trying to rob me, weapon or no weapon; it's not worth possibly dying over.
Would you play to win at a game (there's no prize on the line) as hard as you possibly could even if you knew that winning by a wide margin would embarrass/upset your opponent significantly?
Smart move.
If it was a kid or someone significantly older than me, I'd just take a dive. Otherwise I would respect my opponent enough to do my best.
Would it bother you to discover from a DNA test that your ethnic group was not what you thought it was?
No haha, I think I'm almost entirely Scottish on both sides and it's one of my least favourite countries right now. And if I turned out to be Elizabeth Warren style Native American I could get all that nice affirmative action.
If you were single would you get into a relationship with a single mom?
Depends how big her...I mean...I'd have to think about it. Probably not. There's a world full of lovely young single lasses what ain't got no kids.
I didn't know Elizabeth Warren had claimed to be Native American, I just read about it. Let me take this opportunity to say HA HA HA HA HA!!! :rofl: Let's see, now she can own a gambling casino and qualify for BIA welfare. I always thought she was a [insert word that gets you immediately booted from Litnet] and now I have one more reason to.
You're married to a former celebrity, PB? Or a former model? You dog, you.
If you had information that could expose the (very real) crimes of a high ranking elected official, but doing so might compromise national security slightly for a short time, would you do it?
