Would You Rather: Questions 181-190


It's been a while since I've done one of these - three years in fact. Yes, three years! Jumping back into the wacky world of these questions, and stimulating some ponders along the way...

181. Would you rather the aliens that make first contact be robotic or organic? 

Well, this is a weird one. I'll go organic as it feels there would be more of an opportunity to connect as living beings. Robots just sound evil at the core - showing no compassion or empathy one what would likely be an awkward initial encounter. 

182. Would you rather lose the ability to read or lose the ability to speak?

Easily lose the ability to speak. I'm not sure I even want to talk to people all that much anymore - I'm kidding, sort of. Losing the ability to read gives up too much of yourself, and the ability to function independently. 

183. Would you rather have a golden voice or a silver tongue?

Golden voice. Give me the ability to sing, perform, and be a rock star. A silver tongue is nice, and likely practical, but I'm dreaming big. 

184. Would you rather be covered in fur or covered in scales?

Ahhhh, covered in fur? Yeah, fur. Scales are for reptiles, and while it's cool, those are definitely not my thing. 

185. Would you rather be in jail for a year or lose a year off your life?

Take a year off my life. Just take it...

186. Would you rather always be 10 minutes late or always be 20 minutes early?

20 minutes early. Because I typically find myself running right on time, or likely, ten minutes late. 

Being on time in a big way is fine. No big deal. 

187. Would you rather have one real get-out-of-jail-free card or a key that opens any door?

Now this is going to sound really bad, but the get-out-of-jail-free card sounds useful. I'm not sure I would care to open doors...or that it sounds all that useful. 

188. Would you rather know the history of every object you touch or be able to talk to animals?

Wikipedia exists. I rather go down a rabbit hole of research with my extra twenty minutes of showing up early. 

Talking to animals? That'll be cool. 

189. Would you rather have all traffic lights you approach be green or never have to stand in line again?

Give me green lights all the way. Anyone who understands driving in the NYC Metro area would appreciate that. I'm cool with standing in line. 

But green lights all the way - that's just a miracle. 

190. Would you rather spend the rest of your life with a sailboat as your home or an RV as your home?

Life on a sailboat won't be my thing. At sea, forever? Nope. 

Life on the road in a badass RV - that's just not only an easy decision on this question, but sounds like a really cool life to live.

The Pondering 10 - Wrestling Roster Moves (2024)

2024 was a great year for pro wrestling. So many things are going on, and so many options for whatever you enjoy. For me, pro wrestling felt fun again, especially as my son is now all about the special art form as well.  As 2024 comes to a close, and I begin placing together the traditional posts in the "Most Fascinating Things" and the "Year in Review", I felt it would be fun to drop a new Pondering 10.  In this one, I take a look at the overall landscape of pro wrestling, and fantasy move a wrestler to another company. Again, this is my list. For all of the company tribalists, don't come at me! All in fun!  With that said, here is my Pondering 10:  10. Jonathan Gresham to NWA Gresham's style is unmatched. The dude is old-school and can make technical wrestling look like a modern science happening right before your eyes in storytelling. NWA is still grasping to establish that identity in the landscape by catering to the "old-style" presentation co...

AEW Full Gear 2024 Review: "the potential that resides in this company"

I attended my first AEW show in Full Gear 2024, as the event made its way to the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. The event was even more special as it was the very first live wrestling event for my son who has very much caught the wrestling bug. One would think being around my interests would be the spark, but I genuinely believe he understands the beauty and magic that is pro wrestling. All of it is evident in his "universe" within his wrestling action figures and his constant intrigue in searching throughout Peacock and TNA+.  All of that to say, neither of us are big AEW viewers. Yes, I have my gripes with the company which I'll share. Also, AEW isn't the most suitable for a six-year-old to watch, so there's that. As a dad, I appreciate WWE and TNA's approach to their product. It doesn't have to be PG, but feeling comfortable leaving my son in front of your product unattended is a big plus. Again, more on this... Back to AEW Full Gear, it was a...
