A Gem of a Post

Would you rather watch a continuous 24-hour loop of the State of the Union address, or the Gem Shopping Network?

Brooke's Answer: Gem Shopping Network (and that has nothing to do with the fact that I'm a closet Shopping Network fan) And I'll be honest-- I'm a little politicked out.

Merrit's Answer: State of the Union address for me. Something about the empty promises and repeating the same thing over and over just really draws me in.

Hear no evil, speak no evil

Would you rather have no ears or no tongue?

Brooke's answer: I first thought that I'd rather have no tongue, but then Merrit informed me that I could only drink liquids if that were the case. As food is clearly a priority for me, I choose no ears. I mean, either way you're going to have to learn sign language.

Merrit's answer: No ears for sure. I'm all about eating, and it would be sorta hard without a tongue.

TGIF

So...we completely spaced it and missed Would You Rather Wednesday this week. Oops. As a nice way to kick off this cold autumn weekend we've decided to pose a question today to make up for our forgetfulness.

Would you rather eat Twizzlers or Red Vines?

Answer wisely.

Merrit's Answer: Definitely Twizzlers Pull-n-Peel of the strawberry variety. There's no other way to eat licorice. Unless it's in the giant tubs that you buy at Costco. Sooo addictive. Dangit. I can't decide!

Brooke's Answer: This choice is clear. Twizzlers 100%. Red Vines do not deserve the title of "licorice". I agree that strawberry Pull-n-Peel is the ultimate. This isn't part of the question, but Kookaburra Liquorice is the best licorice ever. It's hard to find, but heavenly nonetheless. The end.

It's Wednesday...

...which means the glories of another post full of would-you-rathery goodness. Today's question:

Would you rather have to walk on your hands everywhere you go or only be able to tippy toe everywhere?

Brooke's thoughts: Tippy toes. Think of the major calf muscles you would have, not to mention the inches of height you'd gain.

Merrit's thoughts: I'd have to go with tippy toes as well. The blood rush to the head from being upside-down all day isn't too appealing.

"Would You Rather" Wednesday

We have decided to add this weekly installment for your enjoyment.

Here's how it works: we'll pose a "would you rather" question every wednesday and we want to hear your responses!

This week's question is...

Would you rather have cheeto fingers or oreo teeth for the rest of your life?

Merrit's Answer: There's definitely a downside to both. With cheeto fingers, you'd constantly get sick nasty orange goo all over it. People would also probably avoid shaking hands with you at all costs, so making business deals might be kinda tricky--not to mention the fact that you'd be a major outcast in all church settings.

On the other hand, oreo teeth are pretty nasty. Picture the most attractive person you've ever seen. Now picture them grinning at you with a nice set of rotting teeth. There's no way to hide your teeth (Unless you knock them all out and leave them under your pillow for the toothfairy. Just don't be too surprised if she doesn't leave you any money for those nasty things.). While beauty isn't just skin deep, looks are what give first impressions and bad teeth tend to ruin someone's impression of you.

After that lengthy analysis...my choice would definitely be cheeto fingers. I'd rather lose my left arm than have gross teeth. Sick.

Brooke's Answer: Both of these would be pretty rough. While Oreo teeth would pretty much guarantee you delicious food storage for the rest of your life, I think I'll have to go with Cheeto fingers. I figure that it's not too hard to become ambidextrous with your feet and bypass using your hands at all. It's much more difficult and impairing to talk without showing your teeth.
