Would You Rather......?

[Mudfuzz]

a piece of art. in a world where everything is increasingly reduced to random data points, i like the concreteness of the Actual Object. it defines the relationship with the end art-user in its own irrefutable terms, and insists on an individual, direct, one-on-one response that's immune to translation or interpretation. when people listen to music or read books, there's a whole hierarchy of filters that the work goes through between stimulus and response; when you stand in front of a painting or sculpture there's no filter between you and the originator. the likelihood of somebody revising and fucking up a piece of "fine art" is also more remote.

would you rather appear on an episode of So You Think American Idol's Got Dancing Talent, or an episode of World's Dumbest Bait Car Chase COPS?

The Idol thingy so I could flip off TV and all that watch it and support it

remastered film/video: think it is better or worse?

[coldbrightsunlight]

I think it's a horrible cash-grab that ruins everything. All art should be as immutable as physical things like dubkitty pointed out, it was made that way for a reason so leave it the fuck alone. Not a would you rather question though!

How about. . .would you rather have the earth invaded by aliens or have a Terminator-like "rising of the machines?"

Aliens. All we need is one crop duster pilot with nothing to lose.

Would you rather...spend the night inside the sarcophagus of Chernobyl reactor #4 or be a Billy Corgan's Band member during a week-long recording session?

[MSUsousaphone]

Chernobyl.

Would you rather make out with Rick Moranis for 10 minutes or cuddle with Harold Ramis for 5 hours?

[Bassboar]

I'll take my chances with Rick Moranis.
Would you rather spend one night in a jail cell with a large man named Scrunchy or have to have Billy Corgan give you a full cavity search?

[Big Mon]

I don't even get the question so I say I will fight for the salvation of it all like the motherfucking angelic being I am!!

Stinky and pretty or neat and so-so?

I was making a Sabbath Into the Void reference. I happened to be high and listening to that at the time when I posted. The line suggested to leave the doomed planet earth, to start anew elsewhere-the other option was to say,"Nawww,bruh-FUCK DAT, for I am the only evil to reign here.
Also, I'll take my chances with Scrunchy...I'd only let Corgan cavity-search me if I had to take a huge dump.
Spend the rest of your days listening to Nickelback or Dave Matthews?

[snipelfritz]

Dave Matthews. Not a fan of Dave, but from what I've heard his drummer is actually a really solid and interesting player. Plus with live jams and bootlegs I'm sure they have a deeper catalogue with more variety.

Would you rather poop five times a day or once a week? (Note: you would feel backed up as if you hadn't pooped in a week, not more efficient)

[Bassboar]

I think pooping five times a day would be more manageable, I hate feeling backed up and disgusting.
Alright boys:
Bong session with Matt Pike
Bong session with Snoop Dogg

[snipelfritz]

Not actually sure who Matt Pike is, but I totally had a dream that I was a guest on a talk show that took place on a school bus and Snoop Dogg was one of the other guests. He asked if they had anything to drink and I said, "I'd offer you some of my Sprite but I think I'm coming down with a cold."

That's really not an answer, I'll leave that one to somebody else.

[coldbrightsunlight]

Oh maaaaaan, both good, but I have to go with Matt Pike so we could jam some doom riffs for hours.

Have to live in the woods by yourself for a year with nothing more than the clothes you're wearing, or spend that year living normally except your job is telling people all the bad news that needs to be told wherever you are; disease, deaths, whatever.

Woods, no question. I feel pretty at home there anyway. +! Matt Pike, even though Snoop's pretty cool too.
Would you rather: Be sent on a mission which would take you through a swamp teeming with poisonous snakes and alligators( with a knife, and nothing more), or have to go on a business trip out of town in the middle of a bad storm, have your car break down in a rural area(at night, no cell phone service),and the only hope you have of making a phone call is to go up to the door of a house occupied by a Manson Family-esque cult?

[gunslinger_burrito]

Swamp. I was going to pick Manson family, because I thought that I could maybe bullshit my way out of it, but then I reconsidered.

If you had the ability to time-travel but could only ever go in ONE direction (forwards or backwards) which would it be? I'll allow for a Dr.Who-esque time machine that you can be safe in if need be.
Edit: you can travel around space too.

[dubkitty]

backwards. i'd go to the happiest part of my life, live through it again, and then go back. i'd go back around 1990 and 1991 forever. Lee and i would always be in love, and i'd never lose my belief in the future.

would you rather have amnesia, or remember everything that ever happened? like, every single thing ever in your life in granular specific detail? assume that you'd retain your accumulated skills and learning; only your life-experience memories would be affected.

Backwards if I could take my kids and my gal. What future?

@Dubz: I'd rather remember everything, I think. I have my fair share of good and bad, but I'd rather remember even the shittiest points in my life vividly, than forget who those I love the most are.

who would you rather fight, Vlad Tepes or Attilla the Hun?
