choose ye: because it’s wednesday, dammit and YOU MUST CHOOSE!
If you’ve played before, you know the rules: you must choose between all the options in the list below, and then pop your answers into the comments. It doesn’t matter if you don’t like either thing… choose the lesser of the two evils. The fun part is having to resolve the conflict, not refuse it!
And as we always say, no one’s gonna hold you to it (except for the CIA — but this is one of their screening tools, so…)

With my diet soda, silver Ford, and Gaye on the radio in my Mini, I’m noshing or carrots while hustling down a windy road. My passenger, your mom, occasionally feeds me artichokes as she calls my curly-haired puppy on the phone. In between feedings, I call your little sister while she’s on her swingset. I explain to her that modern life is painted in black and white, but the city we approach, Rome, will always be white: Sea-bound resorts, served both muffins with BBC, spa-ing it up. I know you’re Skeptical. So, do me a favor: grab a popsicle, take a ride on the waterslide, and leave your prescription at the door, four-eyes.
