Would You Rather: Questions 191-200


191. Would you rather clean the same mess in the kitchen every day or not be allowed to clean up the mess at all? 

Clean the same mess in the kitchen. At least I'll know the workload, and of course, know I can contribute in getting it done. Call me crazy, but I actually enjoy (!) cleaning the kitchen sometimes. Give me some good tunes, and it's a great way to clear the mind. 

192. Would you rather get rich in a way that disappoints your family or just make enough money to live? 

Ummmm, what level of "disappointment" we talkin' bout here? 

193. Would you rather have no internet or no cell phone? 

No cell phone. I sometimes wish that were the case in reality. 

194. Would you rather go back in time to meet your ancestors or go into the future to meet your great-grandchildren? 

Give me the future Robos. My family history is too conflicted with all sorts of colonialism and imperialism and out-of-touches to make anything worthwhile other than a discovery act. I'd like to know what the future generations did with the platform given to them. 

195. Would you rather get a tattoo or a lip piercing? 

Tattoo. Me? With a lip piercing? Come on...

196. Would you rather receive cleaning supplies or a weighing scale as a present? 

Such a weird question! So weird. 

Give me the cleaning supplies. They have more value for real-world applications. 

Again, not sure why this was a "would you" question. 

197. Would you rather have front-row tickets to a musician you've never heard of or listen to your favorite band perform from the parking lot? 

Things can be really bad for an act you don't necessarily enjoy. I get uncomfortable in spaces with music I'm just not vibing with. I'll happily chill from the parking lot listening to one of my favorite bands. I can likely make that a whole memory - add some, food, good company, and weather...yup, give me the latter. 

198. Would you rather live in a mountain cabin with no human contact or a big city studio apartment? 

The older I get, the more that mountain cabin with no human contact hits the soul. But I'm not quite there yet. 

Give me the big city studio apartment. 

199. Would you rather walk to work in snow and below-freezing temperatures, or during a heat wave? 

Ugh. Walking in the snow in below-freezing temperatures sounds like my nightmare. It's the feeling I get when I look outside in the winter and realize that I have to go shovel or remove snow.

I'll sweat a lot, but I'll take the heat. 

200. Would you rather have to cook the big holiday meal every year or clean up and do the dishes afterward? 

I sort of do both now. So, uh, yeah. Whatevs...

Knicks Trauma - Ugh Not Again

Well, that was a kick in the stomach.  Coming off a week where the word "catharsis" was used as the description for the euphoria and release of joy from two and a half decades of suffering, Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Indiana Pacers brought about another word - trauma.  Watching the Knicks collapse was the kind of moments that come with these deep runs and moments. NBA Playoff basketball will do that. Yet, this loss - this one - feels about as bad as the 2004 ALCS when the Yankees collapsed in the series to the Boston Red Sox.  That one carries some serious trauma. Luckily, the series isn't over.  Some other quick thoughts from this awful, awful night, New York Knicks Basketball.  - Not to conjure up hyperbole, or even contribute to "hot take" sports reaction culture - but this might have been the worst loss in Knicks franchise history. I cannot think of another in my lifetime, or historically.  - Tyrese Haliburton's "choke"...

Knicks Back in ECF Causing Catharsis

I've certainly shared my emotions and thoughts regarding the New York Knicks on this site over the years. There have been plenty of those to sort through - most of them are rants. Tonight, the New York Knicks ultimately destroyed the Boston Celtics in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals, 119-81. I sat on my couch, afraid to allow myself to feel joy until that final buzzer. As a Knicks fan, I've been through too much to allow myself to do anything else, to make any assumption, until it was final. Until it was confirmed. Until something couldn't fall through...the way we're used to.  Once it was final, it was unreal.  The New York Knicks are in the Eastern Conference Finals. For the first time since 2000.  I was 15 years old the last time that happened. And that was a run with a squad that I consider (still) to be my favorite Knicks team of all-time.  I sat on my couch with all sorts of feelings. My wife was likely trying to understand the moment. My son, exci...
