Catch The Mist, Catch The Myth, Catch The Mystery, Catch The Gift


Mood: Oddly exultant
Watching: Little Britain DVD Extras!

Holy shit I've missed like three days! Alright, jumbo post today then

Question 5: You meet your soul mate. However, there is a catch: Every three years, someone will break both of your soul mate's collarbones with a Crescent wrench, and there is only one way you can stop this from happening: You must swallow a pill that will make every song you hear- for the rest of your life0 sound as if it's being performed by the band Alice in Chains. When you hear CCR on the radio, it will sound (to your ears) like it's being played by Alice in Chains. If you see Radiohead live, every one of their tunes will sound like it's being covered by Alice in Chains. When you hear a commercial jingle on TV, it will sound like Alice in Chains; if you sing to yourself in the shower, your voice will sound like deceased Alice vocalist Layne Staley performing a capella (but it will only sound this way to you). Would you swallow the pill?

Answer: I'd take the pill. Why would I let my soul mate suffer? Plus I like Alice in Chains :). And I'm sure if it was driving me crazy I could just track down the maker of this pill and get some kind of treatment.

Question 6: At long last, someone invents "the dream VCR." This machine allows you to tape an entire evening's worth of your own dreams, which you can then watch at your leisure. However, the inventor of the dream VCR will only allow you to use this device if you agree to a strange caveat: When you watch your dreams, you must do so with your family and your closest friends in the same room. They get to watch your dreams along with you. And if you don't agree to this, you can't use the dream VCR. Would you still do this?

Answer: Yeah, sure, why not? My dreams aren't particularly exciting, plus the number of times I have weird fucked up sex dreams is not that common. And everyone has those dreams anyway so it'd be hypocritical for someone to freak out because I have them. Silly buggers. Plus I occasionally have really cool dreams and I want to remember them in detail.

Question 7: Defying all expectation, a group of Scottish marine biologists capture a live Loch Ness Monster. In an almost unbelievable coincidence, a bear hunter in the Pacific Northwest shoots a Sasquatch in the thigh, thereby allowing zoologists to take the furry monster into captivity. There events happen on the same afternoon. That evening, the president announces he may have thyroid cancer and will undergo a biopsy later that week. You are the front-page editor of the New York Times. What do you play as the biggest story?

Answer:
Well, since the president MAY have thyroid cancer it's not actually a news story, it's just supposition. But Nessie and Bigfoot actually being captured? SHIT, that's total front page news.
