choose ye: oh the humanity! edition
The most perverse Choose Ye! ever…
Which sucks more?
Spiders or cockroaches?
Getting stuck in three hours of holiday traffic on a hot summer day, or getting a three-hour delay due to a snowstorm at the airport?
Stubbing your toe, or shutting your finger in the door?
Pinkeye or ringworm?
Going to the dentist or getting your taxes done?
Getting the trainee at the grocery store, or getting the newbie at Starbucks?
Having to go without showering for three days, or using an outhouse for three days?
Hayfever or heartburn?
Getting a guilt trip from your parent or your partner?
Not having internet access, or not having cable?
Watching the Shopping Network, or watching the Weather Network?
Overhearing someone gossip about you, or having someone overhear you gossiping about them?
Hanging out in a house with too many dogs, or too many cats?
Going to see Britney Spears in concert, or going to see Wayne Newton in concert?
Bad radio reception, or bad phone reception?
Telemarketers or door-to-door cult members?
Going clubbing with Paris Hilton, or clubbing baby seals? (I’M KIDDING)
The sound of someone rubbing a balloon, or the sound of nails down a chalkboard?
Accidentally stepping in gum, or accidentally stepping in… well, you know?
Spilling coffee down your shirt before work, or spilling pasta sauce on your shirt at the beginning of a date?
Answering this Choose Ye, or poking yourself in the eye repeatedly?

Spiders or cockroaches?
Cockroaches by far. Spiders are nice.
Getting stuck in three hours of holiday traffic on a hot summer day, or getting a three-hour delay due to a snowstorm at the airport?
Snowstorm. At least you were waiting for a flight and flying is always fun.
Stubbing your toe, or shutting your finger in the door?
Stubbing your toe I guess. We use our toes less than our fingers.
Pinkeye or ringworm?
Gross.
Going to the dentist or getting your taxes done?
Taxes.
Getting the trainee at the grocery store, or getting the newbie at Starbucks?
Grocery store. I don’t go to Starbucks, sorry.
Having to go without showering for three days, or using an outhouse for three days?
Showering. I don’t mind outhouses. I live rurally.
Hayfever or heartburn?
Heartburn really sucks when you’re a singer and a trumpet player!
Getting a guilt trip from your parent or your partner?
Parent. Cause it’s probably been going on your whole life and that sucks the most.
Not having internet access, or not having cable?
Not having internet. It stops my life. I don’t even own a TV so cable is never an issue!
Watching the Shopping Network, or watching the Weather Network?
Shopping. Shopping sucks and so does TV. Do the math.
Overhearing someone gossip about you, or having someone overhear you gossiping about them?
The later. I hate that back-peddling feeling.
Hanging out in a house with too many dogs, or too many cats?
Neither! I love ‘em all!
Going to see Britney Spears in concert, or going to see Wayne Newton in concert?
Both would have their merits. In cultural study mostly.
Bad radio reception, or bad phone reception?
Bad radio. I love my CBC in the morning.
Telemarketers or door-to-door cult members?
Telemarketers. I just put the phone down and they talk away…
Going clubbing with Paris Hilton, or clubbing baby seals? (I’M KIDDING)
The sound of someone rubbing a balloon, or the sound of nails down a chalkboard?
Nails on a chalkboard. Balloons = parties!
Accidentally stepping in gum, or accidentally stepping in… well, you know?
Poo for sure.
Spilling coffee down your shirt before work, or spilling pasta sauce on your shirt at the beginning of a date?
The coffee.
Answering this Choose Ye, or poking yourself in the eye repeatedly?
Tough one. Can’t decide. (I’M KIDDING!)

I choose these (as the worst of two bad choices…):
Cockroaches, MOST definitely.
Shutting my finger in the door.
Pinkeye.
Dentist and Taxes both. It’s a tie. And having to come home from the dentist to do taxes would be a very bad day.
The trainee or the newbie? Doesn’t matter really.
No showers for three days? Ack! (Outhouses I don’t mind. We even have one.)
Heartburn.
Parent guilt trip. (spouse doesn’t do guilt trips, thank heaven.)
No internet access?!! (cable? what’s that?)
Shopping Network. I hurt all over just thinking about it.
I’d hate to be gossiping about someone and have them hear me. Better not to gossip.
Too many dogs!
Um, never seen Britney or Wayne, but I think Wayne is maybe more wholesome. So, no Britney.
Bad phone.
It’s a tie, but we have more trouble with telemarketers, so I choose them. Go away!
No clubbing.
Nails on a chalkboard. Ouch!
Stepping in poo. Yuck.
Coffee before work.
I think the sharp stick….

I love WKRP.

Cockroaches

Dentist - I always get a refund, so taxes are good!
The newbie at Starbucks. Respect the foam and learn how to aerate!
No shower
Hay fever
Parent. Can pick fight with partner that ends in makeup sex.
Internet
Shopping
Overhearing someone gossiping about me
Too many dogs
Britney Spears
Bad phone reception
Cult members
I want to cry at both options
Nails on a chalkboard
Gum. The smell doesn’t follow you all day
Coffee on shirt before work
Poking myself in the eye repeatedly.
November 1st, 2007 at 7:23 pm

You know, up until yesterday, I would’ve said the trainee at the grocery store. Of course, that was before I had the new Starbucks guy SPILL MY PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE ALL OVER THE COUNTER, and then proceed to make me a new one, whereupon he stuck his finger in the foamy deliciousness, ruining it for all eternity.
November 2nd, 2007 at 10:21 am

It depends on the result for either!
newbie at Starbucks
outhouse for three days
hayfever
partner for sure!
internet access–I neeeeeed it!
Shopping Network
having someone overhear you gossiping about them
too many dogs–They’re louder and more likely to invade your personal space.
Wayne Newton
bad phone reception–You can change the station on the radio.
door-to-door cult members
Ha!
nails down a chalkboard?
Either! Just ew.
spilling pasta sauce on your shirt at the beginning of a date–Who cares what you look like at work?
I haven’t tried poking myself in the eye yet. I’ll get back to you! (Just kidding–love to Choose!)
November 2nd, 2007 at 5:44 pm
I went to a doctor and said, “Hey, Doc. It hurts when I do this,” I said while poking myself in the eye.
“Well,” the doctor counseled, “Don’t do that.”

Too many cats.
Hey, didn’t you and Kev see Britney in concert??? :) I would say they would both be brutal but if I have to choose, I will go with Britney.
Bad phone…put in a CD, turn on the mp3.
Door to door…you can just hang up the phone.
Nails on a chalkboard.
Poo for sure. It stinks so bad!
Am I still at home when I spill the coffee? I have done that before.

November 5th, 2007 at 11:03 pm
cockroaches - ever!!!
getting a three-hour delay due to a snowstorm at the airport - definitely! that airport food/fare/stuff/things to buy is WAY too expensive. the beach is always only [that] far away otherwise!
shutting your finger in the door - once I closed my arm (from elbow down) in the car door - not fun. doors leave marks.. big ucky ones. EW people ask evenutally.
ringworm - have you ever taken the meds for ringworm? grosssssssss
Going to the dentist or getting your taxes done? Hmmm. taxes only because it seems to take longer. neither are really that troublesome for me.
getting the newbie at Starbucks - moreso because I only know so much about what it is im ordering. if you ask more than I know, we’re both going to be there a while!
Having to go without showering for three days - NO DOUBT about it.. for me OR other people thank you very much! :)
Hayfever - lasts longer, tums and heartburn is gone. hayfever involves more invasive drugs… and really… i’d LIKE a martini evenutally today :)
Getting a guilt trip from your partner - parents will do this forever, but its their “right” … and you only feel so bad for so long. With your partner, you KNOW its going to come back at you.. to haunt….. :)
Not having internet access. (i dont watch enough tv to really care)
Watching the Shopping Network, - ACK! i want to buy stuff.. that i dont want/need!!!!! make it stopppppp!
having someone overhear you gossiping about them - never want anyone to feel bad about being talked about - but sometimes you have to dish!
Hanging out in a house with too many dogs, or too many cats? - OOOH tough one. allergic to cats.. so cats would be normal first reaction - yet… dogs.. good HEAVEN who taught them to all stick their noses up my arse??? ;)
going to see Wayne Newton in concert? at least britanay should have SOME kind of show to laff with or enjoy.. wayne might not be into the mosh pit….
Bad radio reception - always.
door-to-door cult members - they already KNOW where i live.. they CAN come back. i CAN avoid answring the phone.
The sound of someone rubbing a balloon, or the sound of nails down a chalkboard? chalkboard. ew.
accidentally stepping in… well, you know? POOOOOOP never poop. gross ive thrown out SHOES on the street for poop. ick nasty stuff.
Spilling coffee down your shirt before work, or spilling pasta sauce on your shirt at the beginning of a date? sauce.. good heavens. always.
Answering this Choose Ye, or poking yourself in the eye repeatedly?
EYE OW!
