Would You??

[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...t-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?
