The Saturday 6-Pack

Would you rather no one show up to your wedding or your funeral? Funeral. Again, I'll be dead and I don't care.

Would you rather time travel to meet your great ancestors from 200 years ago or your descendants 200 years in the future? My ancestors 200 years ago all spoke Russian, German, or Polish, so I'd go to the future so I'd have a better chance of actually being able to talk to them.

Would you rather live a life of substantially meaningful struggle or decadent vanity? It really depends on the specifics, but if it's only meaningful to me, I don't care and I pick vanity - if I'm struggling in a way that's meaningful to a lot of people, maybe I'd pick that.

Would you rather have to live life with no arms or no legs? I'm already missing a foot; no legs.

Would you rather be blind but with exceptional hearing or deaf with exceptional sight? I guess blind so I could still listen to music, but I don't really know.

Would you rather live in a world where everyone was mute or in a world where no one had anything interesting to say? Mute. There's lots of communication that isn't spoken.

Would you rather no one show up to your wedding or your funeral?
Wedding, provided the girl showed up. If nobody shows up to your funeral, it says something about the life you led.

Would you rather time travel to meet your great ancestors from 200 years ago or your descendants 200 years in the future?
Future. If I went back in time to meet my ancestors, I'd worry about causing a ripple effect and never being born.

Would you rather live a life of substantially meaningful struggle or decadent vanity?
If my struggle improved life for future generations, the former. If my struggle was like Job's, the latter.

Would you rather have to live life with no arms or no legs?
No legs. Artificial legs are better than artificial arms.

Would you rather be blind but with exceptional hearing or deaf with exceptional sight?
Blind. I can imagine not being able to hear, but not seeing…

Would you rather live in a world where everyone was mute or in a world where no one had anything interesting to say?
Mute. It would be more interesting.

What's the story behind this pal? Feel free to tell me to piss off, just intrigued tbh.

Funeral because I wouldn't really care, I suppose.

Would you rather time travel to meet your great ancestors from 200 years ago or your descendants 200 years in the future?

I'd say the future to see what music they're making.

Would you rather live a life of substantially meaningful struggle or decadent vanity?

Vanity dude. All those instruments, drugs, and nice things would be awesome. I could make it meaningful.

Would you rather have to live life with no arms or no legs?

No legs because instruments.

Would you rather be blind but with exceptional hearing or deaf with exceptional sight?

I'd go blind in a heartbeat because if I was deaf I'd likely go through a stage of depression similar to Beethoven's. I'm not about that.

Would you rather live in a world where everyone was mute or in a world where no one had anything interesting to say?

I guess I'll give the mute world a shot because I find the latter to be pretty boring.

He's Urban's daddy.

He was running a three-legged race at school one day, and afterwards it was just... gone...

I'll have to add this one to my repertoire, along with "A shark bit it off and then I bit the shark's face off" and "A game of hangman gone horribly wrong".

It's actually pretty boring - I was missing half of my tibia when I was born, so I had a foot but wouldn't have been able to walk if the foot hadn't been amputated.

I know it's customary give a tibia of 15%, but in this case I think you still got jipped.

Funeral. They would be too sad to get out of bed.

Would you rather time travel to meet your great ancestors from 200 years ago or your descendants 200 years in the future?

200 years in the future. Not particularly bothered about the ancestors/descendants part, but the future at at least interesting to me.

Would you rather live a life of substantially meaningful struggle or decadent vanity?

I would love nothing more than to be filthy rich, but I don't think I could live with myself if that wealth had to come with complete vanity.

Would you rather have to live life with no arms or no legs?

No legs for sure.

Would you rather be blind but with exceptional hearing or deaf with exceptional sight?

Deaf with great sight.

Would you rather live in a world where everyone was mute or in a world where no one had anything interesting to say?

The latter. Because at least they are talking.

wedding. as long as the chick shows up, anyway. i don't really get into the whole wedding thing too much anyway. i'd be fine with something private.

Would you rather time travel to meet your great ancestors from 200 years ago or your descendants 200 years in the future?
i'd rather go to the future but i don't plan on leaving any descendants for me to talk to. if robots still haven't taken over in 200 years i will be severely let down.

Would you rather live a life of substantially meaningful struggle or decadent vanity?
decadent vanity means i'm rich right? this is a no brainer to me

Would you rather have to live life with no arms or no legs?
i feel like i wouldn't mind rocking a wheelchair that much. compared to being armless, anyway. plus, guys in wheelchairs get sympathy from women. i would tell them i lost them in the war like lt dan.

Would you rather be blind but with exceptional hearing or deaf with exceptional sight?
i'd rather be blind, cause blind people are cooler than deaf people. they get to wear sunglasses and sport a cane, whereas deaf people just talk funny.

Would you rather live in a world where everyone was mute or in a world where no one had anything interesting to say?
the latter. mutes creep me out.

Wedding. I don't really think it needs to be a showy occasion. Nothing wrong with it being so, but basically it's all for you and your beloved. That's all that matters.
I want to have made enough of an impact in my life that when I die people want to say goodbye.

Would you rather time travel to meet your great ancestors from 200 years ago or your descendants 200 years in the future?
O hate period pieces, quite like sci-fi though. Let's go to the future!

Would you rather live a life of substantially meaningful struggle or decadent vanity?
Meaningful struggle. I am all about that meaning. But I think you create your own meaning, and I could find it no matter my situation.

Would you rather have to live life with no arms or no legs?
Right now, no legs. But if we ever get Skywalker hands I will chop my arm off myself.

Would you rather be blind but with exceptional hearing or deaf with exceptional sight?
This one is way too hard. I think I'd go deaf, even though I would be sacrificing music. There's way too much beauty in this world for me to give up my visuals.

Would you rather live in a world where everyone was mute or in a world where no one had anything interesting to say?

Mute. At least we could email.
