The IF Factor: Questions Answered #151-160

151. If you could choose any three songs to compile on a disc to wake up (slowly) to every morning, what would they be, and in what order? 

Since I'm a terrible morning person, I'd go with:

1. "Break Stuff" by Limp Bizkit

2. "The Hey Song Part 2 (Instrumental)" - Gary Glitter

3. "I Get the Job Done" by Big Daddy Kane

152. If you could have witnessed the childhood of someone famous, whose would it be?

I would probably choose Simon Cowell. I can just imagine how much of a jerk he was to little kids as he insulted them with that snarky British accent of his. Would make for some entertaining times.

153. If you could keep only keep one book you currently own, which would you choose?

The Bible.

154. If you could have known someone as a child that you now know, who would it be?

There are a couple of friends and former co-workers who would be interesting to know, but I'd have to go with my wife. 

155. If one aspect of your life functioned perfectly forevermore, what would you pick?

My dedication and/or obedience to my faith. If that was perfect, wouldn't everything else in my life simply fall in line? 

156. If you could eliminate one thing other people’s children do, what would it be?

Public display of rudeness, showing no manners, or complete lack of respect for others. We've all dealt with it, nothing worse than a child who is not disciplined at home, who takes his/her antics on the road as well. 

157. If you could give hair back to any balding person you know, who would you pick?

Ha! Myself! 

158. If you had to name the one thing that really makes your day, what would it be? 

My wife's smile, if I'm lucky, her laugh. 

159. If you could change one thing about your country’s history, what would you alter?

Slavery/Racism. Imagine if that never happened, how different things would be in this nation. We've spent the last 100 years trying to mend fences, and there is still plenty of work to be done. 

160. If you had to eliminate one emotion from your life, which would it be?

Frustration. What's that phrase? Keep calm, and carry on. I like that a lot.

Would You Rather: Questions 121-130

This edition of "Would You Rather" is credited to the NBA Would You Rather NBA Account on Instagram ( See Here ). Adding to the fun, this edition (and possibly future ones) are all NBA basketball questions.  121. Who would you rather have on your favorite NBA team - Giannis Antetokounpo or James Harden?  Seeing how I'm a lifelong suffering Knicks fan, the thought of any of these guys in blue and orange is hard to believe. With that said, I'm taking the Greek Freak for this reason - I enjoy watching him play a bit more. Nothing against Harden who is amazing as well, but at times, the ball sticks and that isn't always fun. Plus, I feel like we haven't yet seen a finished Giannis. 122. Would you rather have Giannis Antetokounpo with no driving ability or James Harden with no Three-Point shooting ability?  This is definitely a weird and unique one, but I'll take Harden. Giannis without his strength doesn't offer much. However, if Harden's d...

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 2/11/19

3 Up 1. Eva Ramon Gallegos Cure HPV - Could Cervical Cancer be a thing of the past? It very much looks like it as after twenty years of work, Gallegos has found a cure that completely eliminates the cancer. This is remarkable work, and it's pretty awesome to see the Mexican Medical community come together proudly in this achievement. 2. "This is America" Grammy - Finally!! Childish Gambino got some national love for the work he did on this great song, and even more so, on the overall art/video that was "This is America". Of course, he wasn't there to pick it up as the Grammys and their long standing issue with the hip-hop community continues... 3. Women at SOTU - Women continue to be bad ass in the current age. Their solidarity within the Capitol for the President's SOTU was a great sight to see. 3 Down 1. Venezuela Crisis - The country of Venezuela is in absolute shambles right now as they tussle over leadership, and really, a move toward d...

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 8/27/17

3 Up 1. MLB Players Weekend - The (insane) traditionalists had a problem with it, but the weekend produced plenty of fun games and moments, and gave fans and players a really cool weekend to be themselves and enjoy the game. I have a ton of stuff to share in the next Dope Sports Threads. Overall, can't wait for the next one... 2. MTV VMA's - Look, there were moments I had no idea what was going on, and I thought Katy Perry was incredibly awkward as the host. However, the moments that promoted fights against hate and empowered people to be themselves were awesome. Especially, Pink's speech - such good stuff. The VMA's still have plenty of work to do though under their new management. 3. Giancarlo Stanton - I think he just hit another home run. The guy has 50(!) and we're not into September, yet. Can he hit 63? Should be interesting going forward if he can stay hot.  3 Down 1. Hurricane Harvey - The devastation and flooding going on in South Texas...
