Sailing around the pacific wearing only a pair of 3/4 length white pants, or going to Edinborough and eating snow?

If the snow wasn't yellow...

Would you rather eat nothing but toothpaste for the rest of your life, or eat one whole bucket of (insert the most hideous "edible" thing here - somebody once suggested scabs) at once and be done with it.

Would you rather be a boy trapped in a girls body or a girl trapped in a boys body?

― rainy, Monday, 22 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Would you rather have things or do things?

― rainy, Monday, 22 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i *AM* a g in a b's bod, so the former obv: but total ability to switch = most rowr of all sadly, esp. if shared by signif other

How do you know that you are mark s? I am interested.

― rainy, Monday, 22 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i have known since i was small: when ppl mistook me for a girl (easier then than now, and it happened often — i still get it on the phone a lot) i was always secretly delighted. "trapped in" is wrong tho: "expressed by" is better — i like my man's body and its ways, it just so happens i am a girl with a man's body

― mark s, Monday, 22 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Re scabs v. toothpaste; I'd chug the toothpaste till I was dead.

― Kris, Monday, 22 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You'd be so Minty Fresh!

― rainy, Monday, 22 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

There is no snow
In Edinborough
Across the highlands wintry winds may flow
But the lowlands lie too low
For snow

Darn, it'll have to be the Pacific, with just pants.

― rainy, Monday, 22 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

HyponotheticaLLy - Supposing there was a way you could increase your intelligence by twenty percent, the only catch being that you would have to live with a permanent and disfiguring facial scar, would you do it?

― Kim, Monday, 22 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

If I were allowed to design the scar, personally, beforehand - I'd probably take the scar and the +20% INT.

― cLotion, Monday, 22 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I would eat snow, toothpaste (Colgate Blue Minty Gel), have things, be a boy in a boy's body. I would not want to increase my intelligence by 20%, as there is no need (he he, just kidding :).

Would you rather sleep for 8 hours a night guaranteed for the rest of your life, or have one strange thing, which may not always be good, happen to you each week?

― james, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

At one stage I felt like a boy trapped in a girl's body. My girlfriend had suffered from vaginal lock at that time, you understand...

― Kodanshi, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

vaginal lock..!?

― alix, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Lixi - it is like lockjaw only it isn't your jaw which locks.

― Pete, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I would like a strange thing to happen to me each week rather than guaranteed 8 hours sleep. Sleep is boring. Strange things are neato.

― rainy, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I would as well because I almost always get 4 to 6 hours a night.

― Maria, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i. sailing round pacific
ii. the scabs. i'd just add milk and eat them with a spoon.
iii. boy trapped in girl's body. i don't need to go into it i don't think.
iv. do things (but which things??)
v. i DON'T know that i'm not mark s which skurs me
vi. i assume you would NOT get scar design privileges. so no. i like my "intelligence" just the way it is.
vii. 8 hours YES easy. jesus. enough strange things happen to me as it is.
viii. i want never to know what "vaginal lock" is. unless it's *good*.

― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

thinking about the 20% extra intelligence...I would go for being able to use 20% more of my brain, so that I could learn the power of telekinesis. Or 20% extra memory would be nice.

― james, Thursday, 25 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Vaginal lock = CRABWALK FOR THE HILLS!

― Dan Perry, Thursday, 25 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I would rather no scabs or toothpaste. Big hugs to Rainy. However, Rainy my dear, let's not limit the horizons of our discussion to binary decisions. How about a foot rub while drinking shots of the cheapest liquor money will buy and listening to Lena Horne? There are lots of things we would rather. Just remember, feeling like you're in a movie is all just a 'frame' of mind (and you can't scrap off the cheese once it has me

sIDEY sIDEY Sideshow! I love you boy-face! Everybody, this is Sidey, and he was drunk when he wrote that. We are going to be flatmates/brothers next year, and I can't wait for it.

For the record, Sideshow is definitely gonna sail around the pacific in 3/4 length white pants, because he's that kinda guy!

five years pass...

A// Spend the rest of your life promoting traction-engines ( http://www.dynapay.com.au/tony/lanz/Pictures/2004%20Pics/TractionEngine%20with%20HR5%20engine%20B.jpg ) as the best form of transport. You must go around slagging-off trains, cars, planes etc.... Spit on them where possible and assault people who use any transport other than traction-(mother f*ckin') engines. You will only travel by (your) traction-engine (which you must save-up for, track down and buy) from now on. Your traction-engine is f*cked so it always f*cks-up and you have to f*cking fix it all the f*cking time which doesn't help your "Travel Traction-Engine Now!" campaign. You are hell bent on travelling around the world which obviously means you will be travelling by you know what...

or....

B// Buy a pair of totally sh*tted-up old wooden skis from the f*cking olden-days or some sh*t. Put these skis on and get a mental Doctor to put plaster-casts over your legs so that you can not remove these skis. Next; travel the world on the bloody skis telling everyone that they are magical and you can ski over anything (water/tarmac/concrete and so on...) constantly try to prove this which will involve nearly drowning A LOT and hassle TV shows to let you come on and demonstrate your "fantastic land skis" You will ski round the world 24 times ALONE before you are allowed to go back to your normal life.

Option A but only if I can pimp it up and release a single called 'Traction On 22s'

― blueski, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 11:39 (eighteen years ago)

ok here's another one for you suckers/gimps:

WWYRD?

A// Get a carpenter, like Jesus, to superglue one of those in-ear headphones into the side of your head and then superglue the other end into a music-circle-player with only a copy of Crowded House's last album in it. Next ask him to superglue the cd into the player and then fix it up so that the player runs off of electrolysis out of your bum or something so you can never ever stop listening to it in your left ear and the only way to make it stop is by never ever going to the toilet or even really moving around too much at all. Oh yeah and the volume is adjustable but not much. It is only adjustable if you don't go to the toilet. It's very loud. You have to do this for 8 weeks straight.

or.....

B// You have to have Sylvester Stallone do work shadowing with you for a whole year, except it's not just work shadowing cos he's handcuffed to you, and you have to share everything of yours with him - food, clothes, the shower, the bed, literally everything and it sucks because he talks all the time and you can't understand him and he's really hungry and sweaty and sometimes he tries it on with you.

― the next grozart, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 11:47 (eighteen years ago)

any more good ideas?

― the next grozart, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 11:53 (eighteen years ago)

You sir are evil.

― Trayce, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 12:00 (eighteen years ago)

what the fuck. . .

I don't understand all the superglue and electrolysis stuff so I might have to go with sly stone.

― Ms Misery, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 12:42 (eighteen years ago)

sly would be no fun, you do understnad this now?

― the next grozart, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 20:53 (eighteen years ago)

five years pass...

WWYR:

For a whole month one of these:

- A very itchy scalp that can't be placated
- Make a quiet but noticeable whiny/scratchy noise that gets louder the heavier you breathe.
