    Pretty sure you have to ask a "would you rather" question in order to keep the game going. o_O

    No knees because I think penguin walking would be endearing.

    You can only watch one movie for the rest of your life. Would you rather it be Air Bud Two or Air Bud Three?

    Two.

    WYR be around an obnoxious conversation hijacker or a person who just abruptly leaves a conversation in the middle of it?

    The first. I'm sometimes that anyway. ;) (Out of social unawareness.)
    WYR fall in love with someone you find morally repugnant or never fall in love and just have casual relationships?

    Um, I'm not sure I understand the question. If I learn to fly while rock climbing, what difference does that make?

    WYR, while drunk, learn to fly a plane or learn to rock climb?

    Ah, much better. Probably rock climb. I could go to one of those rock climbing centres indoors where someone can catch me and there's net and all that. Much safer than a plane.
    WYR be able to fly (without the use of wings) or have super strength (say, twice your current amount)?

    Definitely fly, especially because doubling my current strength, or any human's current strength wouldn't be all that drastic. Even the strongest man alive with double strength wouldn't make him able to do anything nearly as cool as flying.

    Would you rather be in love with a person you can never have (the kind of love that makes your bones ache) or married to someone you're not particularly fond of?

    Second. I don't have to have sex with them. I can even tell them I'm cheating, you never said they care. I can't marry the people I want to marry in my country anyway, so why should I, an atheist, give a damn about a sham marriage?
    WYR never get a cold or never get mosquitoes?

    Can never have.

    WYR be able to travel anywhere in the galaxy, but Earth or travel any point in time except nearing today (1900-2100)?

    Most of the milky-way galaxy is very hostile to human life. I don't want to go there. So time travel, definitely. I like history.

    MOSQUITOS! Those little fuckers are the ultimate bane of my existence. I hate them with all of my core, the rage fire burns deep within for the insect satan.

    Edit: I don't get sick anyway, so this is of no consequence if my cold rate doesn't increase.

    Would you rather be stuck on an island with no hope of getting off, or Helen Keller style blind and deaf?

    I feel you. Try living in Australia with a mango tree out-back. :p
    How big is the island? Is anyone I know there or can get there? If so, that's good. If not, maybe the Helen Keller thing because I want to be with my loved ones?

    I suppose family/friends can come visit but I will stipulate only one person can come at a time and only once every two years. You will have enough food and water to survive your natural life, however.

    You'd be surprised. We're finding more and more earth like planets every year. I don't want to get too off topic though.

    The internet...collective consciousness of our species vs. biased documentaries and derivative game show? The choice is clear.


    Would you rather become blind, or deaf?

    I'd rather become deaf as I know some sign language and I'd have to learn braille to read if I was blind which I know none of.
    Would you rather marry a very horrible, mentally torturing person but still see everyone you know or not get married, forced to live in a bunker and only speak to people through coded letters.

    IWR not get married, be forced to live in a bunker and only to speak to people through coded letters and have a blast doing so!

    WYR be secure where you are or travel the world and face severe ups and downs?

    Secure, because I moved every 1-3 years as a child and it messed me up in a lot of ways. But, I live in a thriving city with lots of people who are progressive and stimulating, so I'd be happy being settled here. Uprooting again would only traumatize me at this point.

    WYR live life naked on a daily basis wherever you go (if it were legal in society and you wouldn't be fired or arrested), or have to dress like a conservative convent nun, literally, in every single situation (including things like beach parties) for the rest of your life?

    Ah if only it was legal to be naked in public..:-D

    WYR be stuck in the hotel in the Shining with no way out, or be stuck in the Bates Hotel with no way out?

    Bates Motel because if I'm going to be stuck with murderous people, I'd much rather the supernatural element not be in play.

    Would you rather have Alzheimer's or MS?
