WYR have to pedal a bike to generate energy everytime you wanted to use a computer (you would have to generate enough energy to compensate for what the computer used) OR get something stuck in a front tooth after every dinner (piece broccoli, poppy seed, etc) but no one would tell you about it?
WYR have to eat dinner alone with your parents every single night OR everytime you lied your nose would grow noticably bigger and it wouldn't get smaller again until you did a really good deed (like giving a homeless person a piece of bread for example).
WYR be the biggest ass-kisser at work and have everyone talk about you OR be as clumsy as Steve Urkel?

Drunk texting.....she's at it again
I found myself drunk texting Erin and Pete last night in Canada. Tragic. Dan, I knew you were out of North America by then, so I failed to send you the same WYR texts. Also found myself smoking by myself. Dammit.
But my friend Debbie, a novice WYRer came up with a good one: Would you rather be seen in the town where you live climbing in and out of dumpsters and searching for soda and beer cans OR be known for standing on the corner wearing a hamburger suit for advertising purposes.
I also got my friends into an intense, who would you rather kiss, be intimate with, etc listing numerous people we work with. It was awesome.
Would you rather be the winner or the reality show Shear Genius or So you think you can dance?

Poor Charlie
I forget what it means to Charlie (blame the wine)...is it cuz I didn't remember half of the last one? At any rate I feel bad for Charlie (but not that bad).
I never heard the one about mom and the kazoo and the Olympic mascot...I choose my mother calling.
Today I'm gonna sit on the beach allllll day long and try to think of a good question. We'll see how I do.
And Bridgette Saratoga sounds like fun.. it's not too far from my old stomping ground in Troy after all. (Plus I do have your address now haha).

Erin's Charlie.
Yes, but she only Charlie'd after an epic feat. Which is entirely fair.
My favorite that I haven't seen up yet:
WYR be a Big G (the girl's see you got the money, hundred dollar bills, y'all) OR slice like a ninja daily and nightly?
Another (not particularly favorite):
WYR walk into a room thinking it was your local karaoke bar, sing "Ice Ice Baby," and only then discover that it was "Gospel Night" on American Idol OR be the guy/girl who, after every song at a Karaoke bar had to walk up to some anonymous person and explain how you "coulda been on Idol."
And a few other Karaoke ones that Bridgette may have written down...
WYR have your mother call you but not say anything only play the kazoo everytime you did anything that took you farther away from giving her grandchildren OR give birth once every four years to a child who looked like the current Olympic mascot?

Oh Erin, you CHARLIED!
Ha, that was awesome, I forgot a lot of them.
Um, it was would you rather be in the background of photos in UsWeekly or every time you meet a person they never remember your name and instead give you 20 bucks.
Also, the charade- boy scout thing was also hung over.
And you may not have heard my personal favorite.
Would you rather only be able to have parties in a public bathroom without windows, or only be able to go on vacation to Wisconsin?
Good work, Erin. We are sisters after all. You'll have to come to Saratoga and I will show you around the town.

What I did on the plane
I may not be able to think of good ones very quickly, but I have a really really good memory. So while I was flying from San Fran to Minneapolis, this is what I wrote down:
WYR have to wear pajamas to every future interview, OR on your resume have the name of your school crossed out or whited-out with “none of your business” written in its place?
WYR work in an airport control tower on the Jetsons OR work to try to stop rock demolition on the Flintstones?
WYR wear fratboy clothes for the rest of your life OR always dress fabulously but every time you go out your energy is gone in three hours?
WYR have a magical kayak for legs that could drive through asphalt OR have a vending machine for a torso of which you could keep the profits?
WYR every time you did something CTYi, have someone around you say “CTYi”
condescendingly, OR every time you orgasm, have to sing an entire tv theme song.
WYR live in the nicest place you could imagine and have a crappy/boring job, OR live in the worst place you could imagine with a very engaging/thrilling job that made you happy?
WYR find out that your spouse was secretly a serial killer or secretly a serial adulterer?
Every time you are in an argument reaches a stalemate, WYR have to cage fight to determine the winner (with no injuries afterward), OR do rock-paper-scissors to determine the winner?
Girls only: Besides shampoo and face wash, WYR only be allowed to use haircare products OR only be allowed to use makeup?
Girls only: WYR have your butt sideways or your boobs sideways?
WYR give birth to an alien with three heads OR a baby donkey with testicles the size of melons?
WYR every time you meet someone new, it feels like you just got hit in the head with a basketball, OR every time someone uses the word “actually” in front of you, have to scream at the top of your lungs for a whole minute?
WYR every time that you feel love for someone/something/a situation, have to do the dance to Proud Mary, OR every time you feel frustrated with someone/something/a situation, have to do the dance to Bye Bye Bye?
WYR be able to move stuff around with your mind, OR be in 30 different places at once?
WYR be able to turn invisible anytime you really needed to pee and it was really inconvenient to get to a bathroom, OR be able to make your farts smell really nice/not be noticed?
WYR be able to derive nutrition from alcohol OR sleep from sex?
WYR, if you had a crush on someone, have them run into you everywhere you went, OR give them fantasy dreams about you?
WYR teach the very can’t-charade-a-boy-scout-troop-girl drama lessons for the length of an entire CTY day, OR be a hung over passenger in a car on a winding road with Megan and Kerry talking about Fratboy the entire time.
WYR wear a giant penis costume on the first day of school OR wear a one-piece pajama suit with a butt-flap (open) on the last day of school?
And I remembered only part of this one (and I remember it being a good one!)
Everyone you meet from now on forgets your name, but when they ask you what it is, they give you $100...OR....(what was it??)

Erin's Imagination
I am pasting Erin's post into a new post.
1) Would rather use the phraae "wyr" in ordinary conversation
2) Would rather get drunk after 1 drink (save money). Don't worry, I wouldn't always finish it :)
2) Would rather watch WE.
Would you rather not be allowed to cut, file, or break a fingernail or your choice for a year OR would you rather not be allowed to ride in a car (cabs included) for 6 months?
It took me a long time to come up with that question...I need to learn to grow an imagination
Now Bridgette's response:
I don't know if you guys gathered, I am kind of a little obsessed with my fingernails. It comes from having man hands and biting my nails to the quick when I was a kid. Now I am kind of hyper about keeping them in good order. Therefore, I would gladly walk everywhere for 6 months. At least it is 6 months shorter and my fingernails would be in good order while I was walking to and fro. I may just buy a scooter or a Segway!

Some Classics
WYR wear a psycho-polka-delic wedding dress/tux that made your guests ill and some vomit in the aisles OR everytime you went to cut the cake it squirted squid ink in your face?
WYR on the first day of school share your educational history (blots, especially blots) with your whole class OR on the last day of school share your romantic history?
WYR spend a year going to class/work dressed like an olympic swimmer (suit, cap, goggles) OR spend a year where everytime you wanted to sleep you had to hand upside down in a supply closet?
WYR have an evil robot twin lock you in your room for two weeks (you'd be fed, etc.) and then try to ruin your life OR never again understand the words "I love you" (written, spoken, signed in ASL)?
WYR have to begin every fight with your loved ones by shouting "Let's get ready to rumble" OR when it became clear the fight was won, a voice from the sky would say "Finish Him/Her" and you would do a sweet finishing move on them?
WYR have power over squirrels OR a segway scooter that could climb up walls?

Cointreau vs. Courduroy
As long as I can drink anything while wearing corduroy, I think I would pick that. A white corduroy wedding gown sounds hot, as in the temperature. But I am not even sure I have ever tasted cointreau straight up and am pretty sure I would hate it compared to wine.
So here's one.
Would you rather have to monogram everything you own (including your lanyard, your toothbrush, your wine glass)
OR
Anytime you walk into a room and there are people you have not met you have to walk directly up to them, hold out your hand with a smile and in a cheerful voice, "Bridgette Holmes [or insert your name], nice to meetcha." This includes any orientation situations, bars, restaurants, classrooms as teacher or student, workplace related places, etc but excludes places/events like airports, concerts, plays, movies, festivals, theme parks etc]
I have a question that is not a WYR: Why is there ice mold (or what looks like it) growing in my freezer? It's like taking over the whole freezer. Gross. I am throwing away my ice cream.

Comments...
Hmmm...this whole comment system is not as elegant as I was hoping it would be. Let me know if you want to post on the main page. I am profligate with permissions....
WYR the only drink you can drink for the rest of your life is Cointreau and you have to drink it straight from the bottle
OR
the only clothes you can wear is courderoy.

Once upon a time at CTY...
...There was an epic game of "Would You Rather." This blog was created to strike while the iron was hot. Remember your faves in the comments (or if i figure out how to open the floor to multiple posters). Create new. For example:
WYR forget all about the game WYR and only be offered choices involving 3 or more options for the rest of your life OR find yourself using the phrase "WYR" in ordinary serious conversation without meaning to or, almost, even noticing?
