So today I'm blogging about...
Andrea at green tea provides
a wonderful link to a blog with the
format "today I'm daydreaming of...". That blog by itself is fascinating (and is
now on my blogrolling list) but in the spirit of the internets what makes it
especially interesting to me are the links to similarly-themed blogs, including
"so would you
rather..."
Example (and an apropos example, at that):
sell your arms and legs, thereby achieving world peace
or
'bed' the pope for a million dollars

Ms. Pope would, undoubtedly and unfortunately,
choose the former. Especially if I proposed the choice to her as listed. There
are few things she hates more than for me to ask her, before a cup of morning
tea, whether she would rather lose her hearing or have the Hodge's daughter (her
niece) come down with leukemia.
Oddly enough, she gave me a book this past year, If... by Evelyn McFarlane & James Saywell. Banal example question from the book: "If you could have one meal from your past exactly as it was, which would you repeat?" I suspect she gave me the book to either come up with new questions with which to torture her, or as some kind of imaginary conversation I could have with myself instead of with her... I used the book on a few long flights, pestering my neighbor. I started off all harmless, talking about kids and pets and the job and all. Then I would pull out the book and say, "Hey, Alfred, I feel like I am really getting to know you. Let's take this to a new level! Let's take turns asking each other questions from this book! It will be fun! 'If you had to kill someone you know, who would it be and how would you do it?'" Then I would grab tight like a bull dog and keep asking them questions for the next three hours. And they have nowhere to go.
I bet right now you're thinking you would sell your arms and legs, too, and fuck world peace.
