The cold itself is fine it's the dark! If it's cold and bright or cold and snowing I like it!

Would you rather look like a Yeti but your voice is the same or look the same as you do now but your voice sounds like the screech of a velociraptor from 1993 blockbuster film Jurassic Park

[Gearhead]

I’ll take the velociraptor voice. I can learn sign language, but having to buy a bigger car would be a huge pain in the ass.

Would you rather be the world’s best tailor, or the world’s best basket weaver?

[echolocation]

i'll take basket weaving. being the world's best tailor probably means people would contact me to commission shit for like, lady gaga's new music video. i think the world's best basket weaver has more anonymity.

do you like romance novels?

[Antecedent]

No, but I can just about tolerate a love story maybe.. usually not. Sometimes I like a good rom-com though

Would you rather 10 dollars in cash or 40 dollars but it's on a gift card for a website that only sells broken funko toys

Ten in cash. What’s Funko?

What’s wrong with this picture?

 

[Antecedent]

I can't see anything wrong with it, beautiful snake!

Funko are these awful toys that exist only to be collected. They are really ugly and all the same shape more or less, but the basic design is changed slightly to resemble some figure from pop culture.

I do not understand why you would want this when you could have a real Buzz Lightyear.  Except that it would match your other plastic Funko dolls, which is why I say they exist only to tap into our love of collecting things and our love of things that look the same as each other sitting next to each other. The price point is between 10 and 20 dollars. I assume they mostly exist because people give them as presents to other people not knowing that they don't like them

Next question:

What movie, tv show, or book would you like to live in?

(please don't live in a painting, it freaks people out when you do that:

)

[Gearhead]

Has anyone here read The Blue Sword and The Hero and the Crown, by Robin McKinley? Damar. I want to live in Damar.

So...but if you did have to live in a painting, which one would you chose? (I recommend against anything by Hieronymus Bosch or the final years of Francisco Goya, but you do you.)

I thought I answered your question Gearhead! I spent ages thinking about it

I want something with lots of space 

I was thinking of this one but then i remembered that they were pumping raw sewage into the river at the time and it was smelly and you couldn't swim in it


Maybe something like this random not famous painting

but do i actually get  to go into the houses or are they empty because they weren't painted? Do I get to talk to the 3 people or are they frozen in time?

My question is "What is the smallest hill on which you are willing to die?"

(With the idiomatic meaning rather than literally)

[Gearhead]

There, their, and they’re. Your and you’re. It’s and its. The Oxford comma. Get off my grammar, you goddamn kids.

[Gearhead]

I’ve seen A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte in person. The reproductions don’t give a sense of how big it is. You could definitely live there. I’m sure the sewage has cleared since it was painted.

If your life had a theme song, what would it be?
