For the following 10 questions, you must answer one or the other. So- if you'd rather not choose either option, you still have to pick one.

1) Would you rather go into the past and meet your ancestors or go into the future and meet your great-great grandchildren?
Past

2) Would you rather have more time or more money?
Money - With money you wouldn't need to work so you'd gain more time.

3) Would you rather have a rewind button or a pause button on your life?
Rewind

4) Would you rather be able to talk with the animals or speak all foreign languages?
Foreign Languages

5) Would you rather be without internet for a week, or without your phone?
Easy phone

6) Would you rather be stuck on a broken ski lift or in a broken elevator?
Broken Elevator, Wouldn't want to be sitting up in the cold for a prolonged time.

7) Would you rather spend the night in a luxury hotel room or camping surrounded by beautiful scenery?
Camping - Easy.

8) Would you rather be too hot or too cold?
Too Cold - Sweaters are the best anyways

9) Would you rather go without TV or beer/wine/alcohol the rest of your life? **If you don't drink, substitute the alcohol with junk food.
Alcohol

10) Would you rather be able to breath underwater or fly through the air?
Fly through the air

Breathe Underwater - 2 Fly - 9

Now let's make it more interesting:

1. Would you rather be able to fly or speak all languages?

>Speaking all these languages would be just "ok" if I cant get to these different language speaking countries.

2. Would you rather be able to breathe underwater or travel to the future?

>Want to see what's in the future.

3. Would you rather be able to travel to the past, but only to times prior to your birth, or have a rewind button on your own life?

>This one hard cuz I'm not too interested in either but If I could I would go back and be a participant in all the historic events and have my name on everything lol.

4. Would you rather be uncomfortably but not dangerously hot for the rest of your life or no TV/Netflix/Youtube/Gifs/Movies for the rest of your life?

>Seeing how I'm originally from Pakistan, lived it and survived it, this would be rather easy. No TV/youtube would suck.

5. Would you rather be annoyingly but not dangerously cold for the rest of your life, or never be allowed to use a mobile device of any kind?

>Seeing how I've lived in Canada most of my life, lived it and surviving. Easy choice. Mobile can be handy but can survive without it.

6. Would you rather have no internet for the rest of your life or be required to eat exactly the same bland but nutritious meal, every meal, forever.

>Tough but in the end I would kill myself if I had to eat same thing over and over again. Childhood was without internet so I'm sure I can figure it out again.

7. Would you rather have every Tuesday off for the rest of your life or have permanent, free access to a secret campsite, which is the most objectively and subjectively beautiful campsite in the world, but is a 12-hour-drive away.

>Can find decent campsites closer with access. Tuesdays with Morrie!

8. $1,500 dollars a month, which adjusts for inflation over time, or permanent carte-blanche, VIP access and treatment to an outstanding five-star hotel which is two 8-hour flights away and always requires a 6+ hour layover (flights not included in carte-blanche access).

>This is just $1500 fun money every month? Heck ya!

9. Have a pause button on life or be able to speak to all animals.

>Means I don't get any older? Sure I'll take that.

10. Know with 100% certainty that neither the Oilers, nor Canucks will ever win the Stanley Cup again - but neither will the Flames, or know that the three teams will combine for 5 cups in a decade and each team will win at least one, the other two assigned randomly.

>Easy, I would take Flames winning the cup anytime over Oilers/Nucks not winning it. As long as the Flames win I don't care what those two teams do.

(the chairlift/elevator one is just lame)
We can learn about CP posters now.

Know with 100% certainty that neither the Oilers, nor Canucks will ever win the Stanley Cup again - but neither will the Flames, or know that the three teams will combine for 5 cups in a decade and each team will win at least one, the other two assigned randomly. THIS QUESTION IS INVALID. YOU USED 'CANUCKS' AND 'WIN THE STANLEY CUP AGAIN' IN THE SAME SENTENCE

Ok- so now we have the flavour of the game and those who've participated have thought a little about the various questions. Some smartass remarks have been made and someone took it upon himself to ask new questions- which is the next step.

Make up your own 'Would you rather...' and the next person answers with a little detail, and comes up with their own 'Would you rather...' I will start.


Would you rather have all the sex you want for one week with your favourite crush/supermodel/actress/person you have always dreamed of, or would you rather take $10,000 cash?

I'd rather take the $10k, mainly due to the fact that I could really use it no matter how awesome the former would be.


How about this; Would you rather the Flames don't win the cup or the Flames relocate to an American market and win the cup in 2025?

Past - No kids
Time or Money - I want a definition of what more time means but I'll pick it given the next question.
Rewind - you could make all the money you'd need for a year just in prop bets on the Superbowl alone.
Speak all Languages - combined with #1 I could go back in time and speak to my wife's French grandmother who just passed. We both always said we wished we were fluent in each language so we could talk more.
No Phone - I don't use it now
Elevator -
Luxury Hotel - Give me The Burj al Arab. I've done the camping thing many times.
Too Hot - A hard one as both suck.
No Booze Forever - no alcohol Erdinger tastes great.
Breathe Underwater - I'm a diver and would like to do more of it. I'm assuming breathing underwater means my physiology changes enough that I can deal with excess nitrogen. If not then I'd have to suck up my fear of heights and pick flying.

And Dammage's questions:

1. Would you rather be able to fly or speak all languages?
- Languages for sure, see above.

2. Would you rather be able to breathe underwater or travel to the future? Travel to the future.
- I'm money motivated. Gambling and stock market knowledge would be great.

3. Would you rather be able to travel to the past, but only to times prior to your birth, or have a rewind button on your own life?
- Rewind button. Again, prop bets.

4. Would you rather be uncomfortably but not dangerously hot for the rest of your life or no TV/Netflix/Youtube/Gifs/Movies for the rest of your life?
- Yuck. I'd have to go TV et al I think. I'm picturing a lifetime of sweating and crappy sleeps being terrible.

5. Would you rather be annoyingly but not dangerously cold for the rest of your life, or never be allowed to use a mobile device of any kind?
- I think we're quickly reaching the age where mobile is everywhere so that's hard to avoid. I hate this one and number 4.

6. Would you rather have no internet for the rest of your life or be required to eat exactly the same bland but nutritious meal, every meal, forever.
- Like 5 I don't think you will be able to avoid the Internet, it's going to be everywhere. The bland meal would probably make me healthier.

7. Would you rather have every Tuesday off for the rest of your life or have permanent, free access to a secret campsite, which is the most objectively and subjectively beautiful campsite in the world, but is a 12-hour-drive away. Campsite.
- From question 2 and 3 I wouldn't need to work so every day would be a Tuesday and I'd have a helicopter to fly me to my campsite.

8. $1,500 dollars a month, which adjusts for inflation over time, or permanent carte-blanche, VIP access and treatment to an outstanding five-star hotel which is two 8-hour flights away and always requires a 6+ hour layover (flights not included in carte-blanche access).
- Basically $1,500 vs going to the Maldives. I'll take the Maldives and got first class thanks to 2 and 3 above.

9. Have a pause button on life or be able to speak to all animals.
- Speak to animals.

10. Know with 100% certainty that neither the Oilers, nor Canucks will ever win the Stanley Cup again - but neither will the Flames, or know that the three teams will combine for 5 cups in a decade and each team will win at least one, the other two assigned randomly.
- No cups. It would make the lose of TV easier.

For the following 10 questions, you must answer one or the other. So- if you'd rather not choose either option, you still have to pick one.

1) Would you rather go into the past and meet your ancestors or go into the future and meet your great-great grandchildren?
The past.

2) Would you rather have more time or more money?
More time, because I could earn more money in that time.

3) Would you rather have a rewind button or a pause button on your life?
Uh, rewind. Duh.

4) Would you rather be able to talk with the animals or speak all foreign languages?
I'd be super cool to go to Paris and speak French. Easily foreign languages.

5) Would you rather be without internet for a week, or without your phone?
W/o my phone. I'd send emails on my iPad, instead.

6) Would you rather be stuck on a broken ski lift or in a broken elevator?
Broken elevator, so long as the brakes aren't shot.

7) Would you rather spend the night in a luxury hotel room or camping surrounded by beautiful scenery?
Luxury hotel room, easy. I'm afraid of plants.

8) Would you rather be too hot or too cold?
Too cold. It's easier to warm up than it is to cool down.

9) Would you rather go without TV or beer/wine/alcohol the rest of your life? **If you don't drink, substitute the alcohol with junk food.
I don't drink. I'd personally rather go without junk food, because no TV would mean missing the Flames.

10) Would you rather be able to breath underwater or fly through the air?
Breathe underwater, for sure.

I woud take the $10,000 and donate it to Cancer research in memory of my late father.

This is too easy for most of us that aren't scared of heights.... obviously sky dive as that's something I want to do.

Along the same lines but fitting for the draft moment. Would you rather Calgary draft 2 Oilers 1 or Calgary 7 Oilers 4?

Would you rather have all of your noisy bodily functions (sneezes, hiccups, coughs etc.) now express as loud, horrible, horrible ethnic and phobic slurs ... or .. have living eyebrows which crawl around your face like caterpillars.

1) Would you rather go into the past and meet your ancestors or go into the future and meet your great-great grandchildren?

I'm convinced that no matter what you do you can't change the past, so I would want to go to the future, plus, I have this expectation that they're going to be jerks and need a good solid a%% kicking. Plus it would be funny to see Oiler fans mourning the fact that their team has gone 100 years without a sniff of the playoffs.


2) Would you rather have more time or more money?

Money can buy time, I can buy maids and cooks and all of that other stuff which creates time. Besides no matter what happens, your time is finite, so adding a few years makes very little difference.



3) Would you rather have a rewind button or a pause button on your life?

A rewind button would be nice, because there are a few people that I would like to have not hurt. But the pause button would be cool, because I could pause things and give people unexplainable wedgies and haircuts. But I would rather rewind.



4) Would you rather be able to talk with the animals or speak all foreign languages?

I'd rather talk to animals, because I could raise an army of fierce predators and take over the world. Think planet of the apes with ferrets.



5) Would you rather be without internet for a week, or without your phone?

Without my phone, I could use a week without talking to people


6) Would you rather be stuck on a broken ski lift or in a broken elevator?

Depends on the company, but if its just me, the elevator is probably warmer.

7) Would you rather spend the night in a luxury hotel room or camping surrounded by beautiful scenery?

Does the room come with an ulimited room service tab, concierge service and a liquor fridge that stays magically full. Because that would be my decision right there. Frankly I've done enough camping in my life.



8) Would you rather be too hot or too cold?

Personally I like the cold a bit better.However there is the question of shrinkage, so I'll go with too hot, so I can sit on a bench with a paper fan and mutter "Lord all mighty, it sure is hot today" and some other person mutters "Not as hot as the July of 45"





9) Would you rather go without TV or beer/wine/alcohol the rest of your life? **If you don't drink, substitute the alcohol with junk food.

I could live without either, but drinking isn't a big deal to me anymore.



10) Would you rather be able to breath underwater or fly through the air?

Fly through the air, I mean if you could breath under water, you'd eventually emerge all wrinkly and shriveled with a major case of shrinkage. Where as if you can fly through the air, you can be like a god over the world.

I'm pretty sure that TMZ would give me 10k for an interview about me having a debauched sex fest with Angelina Jolie. Plus 10k isn't that much in the scheme of things compare to bumping pelvises with Betty White.
