The IF Factor: Questions Answered #271-280

271. If you were to be a news correspondent posted to any foreign country, where would you like to go?

Probably somewhere relaxing, tropical, friendly, and where nothing catastrophic ever happens. Caribbean. More specifically, St. Croix. 

272. If you had to choose a time in history when overall things were worse than any single time, when would you say it was?

The time of slavery in this country. Even the things we thought were good, weren't as best as they could be. Diversity makes everything better.

273. If you could take away the vocal chords of any person, who would it be?

Anyone with one of the following accents: Boston, Bajan, or Staten Island/Long Island. Really, you can pick any of these as an answer. I'd be alright if I never hear those again. 

274. If you you could be a guest on any television talk show, which would it be?

Centerstage on YES. 

275. If you could keep only one thing that is in your bathroom right now, as the only thing in there forever, what would you save?

Weird question. I'll go with a small cup I have from Madison Square Garden that doubles as water class/spit cup. It's retro, and probably the only thing I'd keep forever in my bathroom. 

276. If you could have prevented one event in history, what event would you eliminate?

Doubling up on my answer from #272, I'm going to go with slavery. 

277. If you had to rename your hometown, what would you call it?

I'm not sure how I could rename Brooklyn. The name is so cool as is. But I guess I would go with the officially county name of Brooklyn - Kings. It's fitting as it is the greatest place on earth. 

278. If you could teach your children only one lesson in life, what would it be?

Integrity for themselves and for others. 

279. If you had to be a member of another family you know, which family would you join?

The Royal Family. To be forever rich and have pretty authentic British accents would be awesome. 

280. If you had the chance to make one purchase that you have passed up in your lifetime, what would it be?

PlayStation 3. Bought an X-Box and missed out on several years of playing MLB The Show. Although , it might have worked out as I saved myelf plenty of unproductive hours in my life. 

No worries though as I'll be purchasing a PS4 next month.

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...

The Pondering 10 - Yankees All-Decade Team for 2010s

I thought I would stay away from the "all-decade" shenanigans, but I got suckered in after all. Around here, end of year rankings, reviews, and reflections rule, so why not compose a list that embodies it all? And why not put together a list around my beloved Yankees? Especially in a decade in which they DID NOT win the World Series. Gasp! With all of that said, please see below not only my list of the Yankees All-Decade Team (because everyone can filter by position), but also by importance and contribution throughout the decade.

Dome Pondering Movie Review: Without Remorse (2021)

What is it about? A Navy SEAL set out to avenge his wife's murder, only to find himself amidst a much larger international conspiracy.  Who is in it? Michael B. Jordan - John Kelly Jodie Turner-Smith - Karen Greer Jamie Bell - Robert Ritter Favorite Scene:  [spoiler alert] After finally confronting Rykov, the team engages in an all-out confrontation with snipers and local police in an attempt to escape alive.  Favorite Quote: "I'll show them what a pawn can do to a king." Review: I finally watched Without Remorse. Because it's an Amazon original film, I may have taken its availability for granted. During a week I had some time off from the World, I finally watched it, and I wasn't disappointed.  For starters, I'm not a huge Tom Clancy aficionado, so my review is coming from a casual. But I do love a good thriller, especially from that of a rogue government official turned independent spy. Long live Jason Bourne.  Without Remorse, should there be a sequel, ...
