Would You Rather… part 1

 

Somehow I came into possession of a card game “Would You Rather” and thought it might be a fun thing for dinner/game night with our Bible study group. The box was sealed so I couldn’t really look through the cards.

I finally took the time to look through all of the cards. There were 23 cards with 4 questions on each side. That’s 184 questions. I figured there had to be some worth doing in a game. And I was right. There were a few…VERY few. Most were Junior High stupid humor, Junior High gross humor or some stuff that I DQ’d immediately. I decided this would NOT be a game for our group but just might provide me with some blog fodder. So at great personal cost, dear readers, I decided to take the acceptable questions and spread them out in blogs. You’re welcome. The 2 choices are all preceded by “would you rather”, which I will abbreviate to WYR.

 

WYR – have a mini golf course backyard, OR an air hockey dinner table?

Tough choice. Both are fun. But for practical purposes, I guess an air hockey dinner table would be better. At meal times all you have to do is put a plywood cover on top and a table cloth.

 

WYR – when sick, vomit silver dollars, OR gummy bears?

Obviously the choice is silver dollars! Yeah, you’d have to wash them off, but if you’re gonna hurl, why not make some money at it?

 

WYR – have a battle with 500 living origami creatures, OR the current contents of your refrigerator?

While there have been times when the contents of the fridge have become sentient, and maybe battle worthy, there is the slop factor to deal with. I’d rather fight the paper foes. You have to look out for paper cuts for sure, but a big pair of scissors in one hand and a Bic lighter in the other would probably work well.

 

WYR – change your first name to its backward spelling, OR your last name?

My first name would either be Yhtorod or Tod. Tod is doable, but I don’t love it. Last name would be Rednib. I like that.

 

WYR – have retractable ice skate blades on the bottoms of your feet, OR hair that can grow and turn into earmuffs when it’s cold?

Ice skates would be SO COOL! And you wouldn’t have to worry about trying to tie them on tight enough. If you’re cold, just wear a hat!

 

WYR – have feet with retractable rollerblades, OR have flip-out Swiss army knife items for fingernails?

Now this is another tough choice. Rollerblades would be super cool too. But the Swiss army items could come in real handy in an emergency. I guess I’d take the ice skates from the first one and the knife blades from the second.

 

What would YOUR choice be??

 

Bleh

 

No blog. Taking a personal day. Lung issues. See ya next week. As always, play nice, share your toys and eat all your vegetables.

Different Endings

 

The other day on The Five they had a viewer question for the panel. “For what movie would you change the ending?”

 

I’ve only picked a few starting from about 1960-2000.

 

The first title that jumped to my mind was Old Yeller. Talk about traumatic for a child!!! That movie DESTROYED me!! I told Lia to NEVER read that book or watch that movie.

 

West Side Story was a good movie with awesome music, but I sure wish Tony had lived. Or, if they were going to stay true to the Shakespeare play, have BOTH Tony and Maria die.

 

Marooned. When Richard Crenna sacrificed himself so the other 2 astronauts would live I was highly incensed. And depressed.

 

The Perfect Storm. If you’ve seen this, you know what I’m talking about.

 

Bridge to Terabithia. This ranks right up there with Old Yeller. Heartbreaking. Yes, things were hopeful for the boy and his little sister, but the friend DIDN’T HAVE TO DIE to accomplish that!

 

And yes, while there were movies I saw that I wished had had better/happier endings, if they were at all based on fact or history, I accepted the ending. Like The Great Escape.

 

So, what movies come to your mind that you’d like to change?
