First things first. When we did the 3-Day Walk, we had the Book of Questions, which consisted of thoughtful interesting questions. But they weren't "strange" per se, but mostly pretty standard. But I did have another book that didn't get much play called, "Would you rather?" courtesey of Amy. And it is now clear that the true destiny of this book was not for me to use during the walk, but to post the questions here. I was trying to explain to Suzy and Tom last night that the questions were just bizarre as hell, but not having any examples lingering on the tip of my tongue, I couldn't quite explain why. But now that I have to book in hand, I think you'll understand what I mean. There are mulitple different sections of the book, but for now I'll bypass the ones on curses, deaths, and tortures and focus on the questions about sex because, well, what would you expect from me?
Would you rather.... experience orgasm upon hearing the word "pancake"
or
reflexively belt out the chorus of "Come On, Eileen" upon reaching climax?
Things to consider: family brunches, breakfast at IHOP
My answer? FLAPJACKS! FLAPJACKS! OH YES! FLAPJACKS!
