Nah, I prefer to do the disembowling myself.
Would you drive a firetruck to the river and play cops and robbers with it?

Cops and robbers with a firetruck? Like play the robber and steal the truck and have some cops chase me all around the brindge? No, firetrucks are too heavy for a proper chase :cool:
Would you bungee off a bridge?
Sure, but it had better be a high bridge, and the bungee has to be of the correct length.
Would you do something out of the ordinary in an ordinary situation to make the situation a bit less ordinary?
That depends on the ordinary situation, too vague :p
Would you now?
I'm a little out of the ordinary, except when I'm in an ordinary situation, that's when I become a very ordinary person, so I don't do anything out of the ordinary to make ordinary situations a little less ordinary, but it all depends on what is ordinary.
would you describe what you think is an ordinary situation?
Nope :p
Would you prefer to indulge in being present at ordinary situations or the less ordinary ones?
dunno, less ordinary sounds a little less ordinary, so I think the less ordinary isn't so ordinary, and as such more interesting then the ordinary situations.
Would you go to the top of the mountain, place a stick in the ground, and climb down again?
You mean like on Mount Everest, the old, "Just because it's there." sort of thing? No. I've climbed the tallest mountain in our state, but not because it's there. I love nature. There are animals and plants up there that exist nowhere else. I'm glad to have seen them. What is there to see on Everest except snow and ice? I'm sure the thrill of standing on the top of the world is exhilarating, but you snap a few pictures and get down from there before you freeze off various parts of your anatomy. Me for the nature, to tack a deer for a close-up picture, actually hold a lizard or snake, see wildflowers that a very rare. That's my idea of a mountain climb. And there's rock faces for the danger minded.
Would you hold a (non-poisonous) snake?
Indeed, and I have before. Having cousins in the countryside, and seeming like a curious child, I had all sorts of daring experiences with animals; and I visited the Portland Zoo quite a bit, too, where they would have showcases of certain animals.
To the person below me: if you suddenly earned or inherited a very large sum of money (more than you would ever need), would you flaunt much with what you have and spend lots (such as purchasing a mansion, for example), or purchase what more seems needed, and store the rest of the finances?
I'd buy a 1964 Lincoln Continental with suicide doors and a 460 engine. Then I'd throw the rest of the money in the trunk for buying gasoline.
Would you cash in your wimpy paycheck for a train ticket to Churchill, Manatoba to see the Polar Bear migration?
I would probably want to purchase other things before making such a trip, especially paying for necessities like rent, electricity, groceries, etc., but it sounds fun! :nod:
To the person below me: would you consider yourself more assertive, passive, or aggressive, especially while solving problems?
I'm not sure i understand exactly what you mean while solving problems. I guess it depends on the problem and how confident I am of what I think is the solution. Let me say assertive, which I guess is more than passive and less than agrresive.Quote:

Would you combine a piece of precious metal or other valuable element with another element whose nature is corrosive to that of the first, just to see it sizzle?
YES! with protective eyewear if necessary.
Would you listen to the someone you truly love, if he said he did not want any friends at all (including you) ?
Listen and believe, that's what I'd do. Supreme selfishness can often exist in the midst of love.
Would you believe, and make it evident that you believe in shadow monsters on the street, if it were in your (monitarily speaking) best interest?
Yes, even if it weren't monitary or even if it weren't in my best interest, because there ARE shadow monsters in the street. They are agile, fast, strong and I carry wooden stakes in my car and garlic cloves on my person. So far, this has been enough protection, but it may not always be. My vigilance and awareness of the shadow world is the only thing that keeps me safe.
Q: A small town in California hosts an annual Banana Slug contest. This celebration involves dishes that include Banana Slugs as one of the ingredients. Would you eat anything if you were to attend this festival?
NO THANKS! I did eat escargot, not bad, but banana slug? I pass!
How about the fried tarantulas they dish out down in the tropics?
I'd give it a whirl.
Would you buy a particular cereal just to get the prize inside?
No!
Would you waist your money to impress somebody you love?
No, too many germs.
Would you go hungry for a day to make a point.
Sure, I'm going hungry for this day, and any point made will just be a bonus.
Would you welcome an assembly of well respected English professors with a well written speech about "Ezra Pound, author of the Declaration of Independence," for a gag?
It depends if the professors are friends and would appreciate the joke. Otherwise no.
Would go in a hot tub at a hotel in your underwear if you forgot your bathing suit?
Certainly not! Modesty above all. And I'm too skinny for hot tubs anyway.
Would you walk three miles for the beverage of your choice, if you had to walk?
It would depend on how thirsty I was.
And in answer to Virgil's would you: It would depend on who else is at the hotel and how well I knew those people and whether or not they had a camera. And if I were wearing white underwear (which are see-through when wet) I probably would NOT go in if the hot-tub if other people were there. And all of this could change if alcohol were to come into play.
If I were alone, the color of my underwear would not matter, and I probably would go in the hot tub no matter what (provided that the hot tub is clean looking and there are no wads of gum or other icky things on the bottom of it).
(I was preparing this reply to Virgil's and was too slow to post apparently, but since I spent all the time typing I thought I'd just go ahead and post it anyway).
Would you tell a coworker that you found his/her body odor offensive? Suppose your coworker comes to work every day with funky smells coming out of every crack and crevice and doesn't seem to be aware of the problem. Would you say something or would take a more subtle approach, such as putting your hand over your nose when this person speaks to you or spraying perfume and Glade in his/her general direction? If you told this person about it, it could really hurt his/her feelings. What would you do?
I'll speak to him/her in private and tell them about the situation. If he/she is angry at me at least it will save him/her further embarrassment
Would you...
If there was a little kitten on the ledge of a twenty storey building. Would you go to the top and rescue it???
Why? I'm sure it isn't there to kill itself. It is probably just trying to enjoy the view before climbing down again.
Would you take orders from an idiot if he was your superior?
Yes, have done that quite a lot of times. Although, I dont like people ordering me.
Would you favour someone at work jus' because he/she is your friend, eventhough you know what they did was wrong???
No.
Would you hate your friend if he or she failed to do this for you?
If I put a friend in that situtation, I am no friend. :nod:
Pass the question.
I would do no such thing!
Would you oblige, if the army called you to service?
This would be totally dependent on the reason I was being called up & is hard to answer with the restriction on discussion of current politics. If my country was being invaded I'd be there, if however it was a war more to do with the ideological philosophy of the government, or for economic reasons, I would be remaining a CO. Luckily military service is not a pre-requisite in my homeland, I do have however friends who have served & serve currently one who lost his hearing due to an explosion in Bosnia, and another who is currently in Afgahnistan.
Would you go to jail for your beliefs?
I would
Would you risk your life for your beliefs?
no, I'll admit it I'm a coward. As much as I like to think I would I know I would break.
Same q
I lack the zeal, and i am no extremist.
Would you travel to an unknown country to do volunteer work?
At this point in my life no. I have college debts to repay before I can afford to be a volunteer. I have in the past considered going to developing countries and assisting them with water treatment/Clean well programs
Would you accept a standardized wage for all professions?
Hmmm...I don't know. In some places it could be good, on others, not so.
To me, nothing is worth believing if you wouldn't give your life for it.Quote:
Would you risk your life for your beliefs?
Same ques: Would you accept a standardized wage for all professions?
sigh..isn't this political? Yes, i would. but that's because i belive that people should do the work they wish to do, and so ito me it doesn't really matter that i'm getting as much money as someone with less education and experience.
Seriously, i love my job, and till now i've been doing it for half the amount of my collegues, because of my age. I honestly didn't mind!
Same question.
No I would not accept a standardized wage for all professions. I will not go into it further, since it would possibly get a wee bit political.
Would you free dolphins caugt in a net?
Yes I would.
No. I consider this an injustice (why should a street cleaner make the same as a doctor?) and in the long run detrimental to improving society (why should anyone become a doctor if you get the same pay as a street cleaner?).Quote:

Would you pick up a hitch-hiker?
