It's Friday, and I'm sure you all have better things to do than read all about what an awesome weekend the Velogirl and I have lined up (and we do, we SO do), so I will keep this post short, so you can get on with your afternoon. But, allow me to briefly touch on one subject: We had a mutha effin' EARTHQUAKE here in DC this morning! I'm sorry, but earthquakes are so scary to me.
I can deal with hurricanes and tornadoes, sure. In both cases, the path is pretty clear. Tornado--get in the basement. For a hurricane--get to the nearest school on the highest ground. Or, use a blender, if you like drinking something that will bring on type II diabetes alot quicker than any buzz you may get from the alcohol. Not a fan. too sweet. You see what i'm saying.
WHERE THE HELL DO YOU GO WHEN THE GROUND IS MOVING? And if someone even says, "door jamb"...(rolls eyes)...Look. I live in an 102 year old house with 102 year old, termite ridden, degraded to 'ell beams. I'm afraid to stand in door jambs when the earth trolls AREN'T moving their furniture, so you can just tell that story walking pal.
Moving on.
So as to get your brain into weekend mode, here are a few "would you rather" scenarios I've been thinking about lately. By the way, 'would you rather' is the BEST icebreaking game at parties I've ever witnessed in action. Or, at least, the dorky parties I get invited to. So, if you're dorky like me, you can really break the ice with other cerebral dork-types, who like to consider both sides of the coin.
And, this game was featured in "so i married an ax murderer", which in my mind gives it instant street cred. Or at least, the kind of dorky house party/fog city diner cred I crave.
Moving on.
WOULD YOU RATHER:
Ride your bicycle wearing flip flops or with untied shoelaces?
Be Deaf or Blind?
Own a sailboat or a yacht?
Only play one videogame for the rest of your life: The Legend of Zelda or Tetris?
Be able to swim, or be able to fluently speak another language?
Be eaten by a bear or a shark?
Be a world class pastry/baker type chef or a world class chef type chef?
Have a great weekend!
So, I started typing out my response, but ultimately started writing a rather (ahem) long response. Therefore, I humbly request one question posed a week.
ReplyDeleteHaving said that? Untied shoelaces (even on steel toed boots) are enemy number top 5(ish) to a bicyclist--certainly ahead of bears and sharks anyway....
Steel toed loafers, so there isn't a safety issue to debate?
ReplyDeleteOooo, can I still play, or is voting closed?
