Re: Pick & Choose
Man, those are some interesting choices. I know for sure that if we had the same nightmare there is no way in Hell we would go on the trip, I would just give the tickets to a coworker I know that is mean to everyone. So I would have to choose option 1 and I know I wouldn't open the record, BUT then that raises 2 issues, I could sell the record and get the dough for it which would make the rest of my family happy, but I know my mother is a Beatles nut so I would probably give it to her and just explain to my kids that I didn't want grandma to kill me.
1. You're driving down a deserted road and you run out of gas, your phone isn't working so you start walking to the nearest gas station. About 20 mins later you are still walking and not a single car has gone by, then suddenly from out of nowhere the car from the movie THE CAR speeds right by you, it starts to terrorize you running circles around you while blaring it's horn, then it pulls up beside you and the drivers door swings open, not knowing what fate awaits, do you get in the car? or do you try to run away?
2. You wake up one day and you look around and realize that you're not in your own house, you go down stairs and head for the kitchen and a beautiful woman greets you with a kiss and you ask her who she is, and where you are? She starts laughing and asks if you are alright, and she tells you that she is your wife. You are confused but before you can ask her anything else she tells you that she has to go to work and she will talk with you when she gets back. You look around the house, there are photos on the wall of your life with this woman, you have a family with her but you have no idea who these people are. A dark creature in a cloak appears and tells you that this is what your life would have been like if you went down a different path, he gives you the choice to go home or to stay, which do you choose?

Re: Pick & Choose
"The Car" was possessed by the devil, and most likely created by the devil as in the movie scenario, it was of an unknown make. I would never get in a car like that. It would be far better for me if that car would kill me and I have a chance at Heaven or Purgatory. If I get in I might go straight to hell. SO I am going to go with option 2 on that one. I am sure a lot of things would have been different and my life could have taken a lot of different paths. The one thing that I am sure of, however, is my reason why I never married and never had kids. It's not that I think there's anything wrong with that, but those things just are not for me. Besides, I wouldn't even know who the wife or the children even were.
1. You have a chance to purchase a mint condition 1955 classic Porsche 550 Spyder. This car is in the most BEAUTIFUL condition possible for a 1955. Then the sellar and you get to talking, and he discloses that 1950s movie icon Jimmy Dean was killed in a 55 Porsche 550 Spyder, and parts of the Jimmy Dean death car are on the one you are interested in buying. As the conversation progresses, you find out that every car that had parts on it from Jimmy Dean's car crashed and the owner was killed. Do you buy it or do you pass.
2. You turn states evidence at the trial of a high ranking member of the mob. That mob boss REFUSES to 'push the button' on you because he insists that he is going to exact revenge on you and kill you himself. The mob boss you testified against is sentenced to death, and a few years later he's put to death by lethal injection in a federal prison. After the execution, you find out that the mob boss who you got sent to death row is going to be buried in a cemetery in your home town. One of that mob bosses shows you a suit case full of 100 dollar bills and says that if you walk into that cemetery at the stroke of midnight on the night of a full moon, walk into the crypt, open the coffin and take a cell phone photo of the body. Do you take him up on his dare or do you not dare?

Re: Pick & Choose
I'm going with option 1 because if I had the dough to purchase a car that obscure and expensive then I wouldn't ever drive it because I would want to make sure that it doesn't get damaged, so I would just park it in a auto showcase and admire it.
1. You have a date with the girl of your dreams, you just watched a movie and now you're having dinner, the date is going great. Then you go back to her place for drinks and after a single drink you pass out. When you wake up you're strapped to a table and she is standing there with a knife in her hand, she tells you that she is a serial killer and that it's nothing personal, and then she kills you. Do you still want that dream date?
2. Your best friend gets you a job at a casino and it's your first day on the job. He tells you that he and a few other guys there are planning a heist and it's happening tonight, and he brought you in because he can trust you. They have a solid plan, and it will actually work, and they say no one will get hurt. Do you go through with it?

Re: Pick & Choose
Man or woman, a serial killer is worse then a mobster in terms of being dangerous, so I would not want anything to do with that girl, I don't car if she's Pamela Anderson as she looked right out of "Baywatch." So I am going to go with option 2, because again I would have a better chance playing along with the crooks, then when I went on my lunch break I would dime them out to the cops. Again, my religion comes into play here. "Thou shalt not steal."
1. You are given an opportunity to obtain eternal life and eternal youth. Before you make your final choice, you are shown how things would happen. You would see all the children, grand children, great grand children, etc you would outlive, and as the years turned into centuries, the centuries turned into millennia, and the millennia turned into tens of millennia, so fourth and so on, you end up in a world where every other human being is your direct decedent, and as youthful and healthy as you are, you could never enjoy a romantic relationship with anyone again, ever. Would you want to live for ever.
2. You visit a beautiful sea side town in Southern California. You hear that you can get the house of your dreams right by the ocean for a very good price, and to boot, the cost of living is less then half where it is everywhere else, but you can get a job that pays 3 times what you make where you presently live. The only catch. The town holds a lottery every year, which every citizen is required to participate in. Two "winners," one man and one woman are selected at random. The "prize" they win is to be burned at the steak in the public square.

2 because I can rig the lottery, lol!
1. You can binge watch all the horror movie you want for free all day and night for 30 days and not go to work, if you sleep in a coffin in a cemetery buried for one night.
2. you can own the most amazing Halloween house if you can carve 5000 pumpkins before Halloween night and they have to be real pumpkins not plastic.

Re: Pick & Choose
I don't know if I could manage to pay either prices. First off, I would NEVER want to be buried alive so number 1 is definitely out. Number 2 only requires me to carve 5000 jack o'lanterns. If I have an entire year to do it, that shouldn't be a problem. Just do 100 pumpkins a week for 50 weeks beginning on All Saints Day, and you should have all 5000 carved two weeks before Halloween of the next year arrives.
1. You just won first prize. An all expense paid luxury vacation to an UNKNOWN destination. When you depart, you find out that your vacation will be on another planet, inhabited by sanctioned beings that evolved from cats. You also are informed that it's a ONE WAY trip. You going?
2. You are offered both the ability to teleport yourself to any place on the globe, and a pair of powerful wings so you can fly to destinations that are closest to you. The one and only catch is that you can NEVER for THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, use ANY MEANSS OF TRANSPORTATION other then teleporting or flying. Would you go for it?

Thank you Mike!
1. You can travel all around the world for free but you can't bring anyone with you, would you do it?
2. You can have free gas for you car or bike but you can only drive at night, which will you choose?

Re: Pick & Choose
I love to drive at night sometimes, but I also do a lot of driving in the day time, and on a road trip it must be daytime driving, so option 2 is out of the question. I'll go with option 1, because I usually travel alone anyway. It's not because I don't like people, it's just that when I travel I have my own way of doing things and am set in my ways, so Option 2 is for me.
1.You inherit a fortune from a relative you never knew you had, and in a town you never heard of. The only catch is that in order to take and keep possession the entire fortune, you must maintain the town's local radio station, a smell AM station, and you must do a show on that station featuring old time shows from the 20s and 30s. If you don't do the show, or try to sell the radio station, you loose it all.
2. You're on a road trip, and you are way out in the middle of the Arizona Desert. There is absolutely NOTHING round but flat desert land for miles, and miles of road, until you come to a "T" intersection. The sign at the end of the road reads "Oblivian........3 miles" with an arrow pointing to the right, and right under it says "Hell.........8 miles" with an arrow under it pointing to the left. Piggyback onto that, there is a force preventing you from putting the car in reverse, or turning the wheel hard enough to make a "U" turn.

Re: Pick & Choose
Man, I wish I could have joined in sooner. A planet of cat people? I'd be in Heaven.
But for the current set of options, I'd have to choose the inheritance with the radio station maintenance. As long as I could switch it up and do that show just once a day or once a week, I could play some other stuff and just call it retro throwback hour during the time of the show. Plus I think running a radio station would be fun anyway, and I could probably do a marathon of the classic horror movies and such during October, as some of them were from the 1930's.
Option 2 sounds terrifying as it is.
Here's my set of choices now...
Option 1: You get to set out on a road trip in a brand new car of your choice. You get to keep the car, and a million bucks if you can complete the challenge. The challenge is that you have to make a road trip from the east to west coast without any accidents whatsoever. The consequence is that if you don't make it all the way to California and back without so much as a scratch on the car, you have to forfeit your driver's license for ten whole years, your new car, and your credit score goes bonk. To top it off, you have to move back in with your parents or your closest living relatives and the only available jobs around that are within walking distance are part-time, minimum wage fast food joints. Should you take the challenge, as you begin your road trip things go fine at first, but then you run into a dead zone. If you stray even a bit off the GPS goes bonkers and isn't able to recalibrate. You get lost as the GPS leads you along a dark, disturbing back road without cell signal or a pay phone for miles. You finally find a gas station, you're several miles off course, and there's a rather creepy looking old man working the pumps sharpening a machete.
Option 2: You're not only offered your dream job/career, but you get to make a TON of money doing it. So you make six figures and get yourself a nice home, but the catch is it's in a small, rural town where nobody knows you and everyone stares at you weird when you come in. It takes some time to get used to the town, and the people remain leery of your presence for a long time. But once you get settled in and people get used to you, you find out on the full moon that everyone in town is SOME kind of werecreature. Werewolves of course, but there's also werecats, werebears, wereboars, you name it! You are informed that you, and any family members/friends you might have brought with you have three choices, you can leave and give up your nice paying job and home, you ALL have to join them in the changing ceremony where you get bit and turn into a cursed werecreature yourself and the whole town has a huge bonfire party to celebrate your initiation and adopt their customs and entire way of life, or you become dinner and sacrifice yourself to satisfy their desire for human flesh. If you brought any family members with you, they have a chance to escape, but you die.
