RuthBolton Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 That is actually how I really learned english...by reading books even when I only had a faint grasp of it. Can do that with any other language too. Like Chinese. I only knew some characters, then more and can roughly get the general meaning of it when written down (yay :P ) Rather wait twentysomething years until Georgie gets the books done, or locate him and make him write them at gunpoint? while you threaten to damage his rare collectibles? (To bring the crazy back in the thread :devil: ) haha yeah, I enjoy learning other languages that way. It's not as easy as being immersed in a new country, but it does give you a rather deep understanding of the language if you push through the difficulty. I love languages and hate shitty translations, if I could I'd love to be a literary translator. Ouch! I don't like either option :( I couldn't mistreat the man who has brought these beloved books into my life, but...20something years? :( :( :( I guess...ugh I wanna say I'd force him to finish because I can't fathom waiting that long for them now, and I can't move on from them yet, but...i just couldn't do that to the person who's given me [and the world] such a gift. So...at least by then I'll be able to discuss them with my daughter lol. Would you rather be childless forever, or have a child like Joffrey?

Ramsay B. Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Well I don't want kids so childless. Would you rather be stuck in a coffin for one full week without knowing how much time is left or do two months in a prison where obviously anything could happen?

Unlady B Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Two months in prison. A full week shitting, starving, thirsty, all in a little coffin, probably 2mt under concrete... no thanks. People tend to live through prison (most of the times). Rather chance probability to be robbed in a violent way while taking a convenient short cut to your home (very convenient minus the aforesaid), or take the longer, more tedious path, where robbery is less frecuent, but it certainly can happen?

RuthBolton Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Longer path. Chronic diarrhea or chronic constipation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metopheles Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 So that's what we get when I demand more crazy? :o ;)Diarrhea. First you will be able to eat all stuff you want and your body can only take in the good stuff and throws out the bad shit, and thus you lose weight. Constipation also is quite good at killing you, or at least rendering your colon useless and full of infections and inflammations. Rather have a tiger during the day in your garden and you have to get to the shed to get something vital out of it (your kids or a box of twix and snickers) or have the same task, but it is night and an electric storm made all light unavailable, and no, fire wont work either, and this time there is no tiger, but something that makes the scariest animal noise you ever heard, but don't know what kind of nighttime predator it might be, or if it is just some herbivore with smoker's lung that makes those scary noises.....

RuthBolton Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 36 beers, that's pretty much my vague memory of college before getting kicked out. Would you rather have access to whatever media you wanted in your free time but have to watch a REALLY ANNOYING cartoon movie every single day for six months, or lose your ability to read for entertainment (work and shopping etc. are still possible) for the same length of time?

Faydra Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Time is too precious for such a waste so I'll take the loss of the ability to read. I can edit photos or draw for entertainment in that time. (In Westeros) Would you rather be a warden or a landed knight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metopheles Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 warden Rather eat a bird(You do not know what kind of bird) or a non flying vertebrae of any kind?You know, it's that situation in a foreign country where neither you nor the chef understand each other and he just makes vague hand gestures and noises.

Metopheles Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Burned alive. And I will look you in the eye. You will not hear me scream, but you shall know, I know that you know that you could have saved those kittens in the fire. :D Buy a cake or steal a cake that is positioned on an open window like in some Disney film?You know, they say: Stolen things taste the sweetest.

RuthBolton Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Hunger. It wouldn't be an empty room once the hallucinations kicked in, and I would probably have a beautiful waistline [i am sort of joking.] Would you rather have to flay somebody's unnecessary body parts but keep them alive or burn them to death?
