    No. I don't have the room.

    If you dropped the meatloaf on the floor would you still serve it to your dinner guests?

    Heck, yes. I think of those sometimes and miss them. Avalon Hill games, anyone? What about the early Steve Jackson games? Not to mention the action figures and the entire Planet of the Apes collection.

    If you could be a whistleblower who, like Edward Snowden, was in a position to reveal to the general public a horrible act being perpetrated on them without their knowledge, something whose continued secrecy thus endangered the rights and well-being of all, but it meant your becoming a fugitive and having to live in exile, would you?

    that's a fun one to consider---I lean towards yes, but then, it also depends on the nature of the floor...

    and that's a tough one tyrion...I lean towards nay. I think my first step would be to pursue legal channels and see what the outcome would be from that effort. after that....then maybe.

    id like to have most of my toys and games and what not back.

    would you play a competitive board game with a significant other? (by competitive, I mean where the winner is determined by purposeful and strategic interactions as opposed to chance)

    Sure I would ( I love chess) he would probably beat me, I think he is a better strategic thinker than I am but it would be fun to play.

    As a woman if you knew you were better at some sport than the man you were dating would let him win when you played for fear of intimidating him or hurting his ego if you beat him?

    Or if you are a man would you let a woman you are dating beat you at a sport she wasn't very good at in order to make her feel better?

    This is so easy for me, DM, because I don't play sports. ;-) The answer to the first version of your question depends upon whether, in a given case, the man's ego bruise or intimidation translated into an inability to, uh, er, that is to say, well, as it were. To the second version, my answer is, no, I'll tackle the ***** right into the mud; then, later, if she won't sleep with me as a result, I'll dump her, take back my record collection, and, just as I'm stepping through the front door, turn back and mention that yes, those pants do make her look fat.

    If the opportunity arose, would you go to Mars? In this scenario, you might not be able to return, but if not, could live out the rest of your days in a colony there.

    No.

    Would you emmigrate to another country for 1.5X your current stream of revenue? - doing whatever you do or do not do. (whether it be retired, benefits, work, own business, all others).

    What an interesting and well-crafted question, because you cleverly picked just the right amount of financial increase to make it intriguing, but not so much as to make it a no brainer. OK. If you'd asked me ten or more years ago, the answer would almost certainly have been yes, and I'd most likely have chosen the UK. Nowadays, the answer is no, because I need to be close to my family and I now know, especially with the way the world has recently gone, that I'd rather been in 'Murica than anywhere else.

    If you could go back in time and hang out with the Beatles, be in the studio with them when they recorded their world-changing works, et al, but it would mean you'd now be (depending on your current age) perhaps ten or twenty years older than you are, would you? If you wish, you can substitute a different band or artist.

    No. I am 55 this month. I often think about going back and preventing my ever being born.

    Would you listen and not judge when a friend is hurting?
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    judge is too vague a word I think---its almost impossible to not make some sort of internal judgment, but if you are talking about not criticizing my friend in the midst of the pain and vulnerability, yes.

    in the movie "the day after tomorrow" the earth is hit by a sudden and giant new ice age. a handful of students are holed up in the new York public library, waiting out the initial storm. they have to burn books in order to survive. assuming you would do likewise, would you, also like them, selectively pick which books to burn? and which ones would they be?

    OUCH!!! Why did *I* have to get this question?! Cruel Fate! The mere suggestion of doing that to books makes me crazy. <long sigh> OK, let's see... I think it's a no-brainer we'd start with "Mein Kampf". In fact, let's cover it in bees wax and turn it into a candle, it'll give us more time to enjoy it. Next, everything ever written by Karl Marx. All religious texts, toast. Matter of fact, everything political of any kind, toss it on the flames, that should keep us toasty warm for a good many years, while I use the light to read Keats or Hermann Hesse.

    There was a movie starring Tom Hardy, he of Bane fame, and Gerald Butler, who play best friends. Unbeknownst to Butler, Hardy is gay and is in love with him. Hardy is about to go to prison for five years, and on his last night of freedom, confesses his love to Butler, and begs him to, er, well, that is, um, as it were. Butler, I suppose out of guilt and friendship, agrees. Would you?

    LOL I was afraid my answer would get me in trouble so it is my fault you got stuck with that one

    Would I have sex with Tom Hardy? Or would I have sex with my best friend (presumably of the same sex?)

    Well I don't actually have any female friends, but hypothetically speaking if I did have a best girl friend who confessed their love to me I would not have sex with them just for five years in prison. Now if they were going away for life than I might consider it.

    If you found out your spouse cheated on you, would you be more, or less upset if it was with someone of the same sex as they are?

    I think I would be more upset, because it would feel as if she'd made a joke out of our marriage, not to mention me.

    Good point there, Dark Muse, about five years in the slammer not being enough to go Brokeback over. Life or nothin' doin'.

    If you'd once used your friend's car without his knowledge or consent and he'd never found out, but some time later you learned he'd stolen your bicycle and sold it, would you get angry at him?

    Well considering that I presume that said car was returned to said friend than yes I would be angry, shall we say discretely borrowing a car is not the same thing as stealing something. Maybe it is ethically questionable but since it was presumably returned to him no real harm was done. But I won't have my bicycle anymore.

    If you were babysitting your best friends kid and you accidentally broke some valuable object of theirs would you confess to the truth or blame it on the kid if you thought you could get away with it?

    even if I were assured of "getting away with it" I wouldn't want that on my conscience. so no, I like to think I would fess up. even if it were a stranger and I was never going to see the person again, I think id tell the truth.

    there's a Seinfeld episode like this---would you go out on a secret date with a celebrity crush if you were engaged?
