The "Would You Rather" Game: UM Style!

[WishfulDreamer]

In this game, you basically make up scenarios and/ or answer others-- and they're usually really tough to decide between!

Would you rather play basketball with Danny Wheeler or Bob Bean?

Would you rather have Paul Pollis' mom for a mother-in-law or Charlotte's mom?

Would you rather use the creepy payphone in the Nyleen Kay Marshall segment at night or go into the basement in the Kurt Sova segment at night?

Would you rather pick up a hitcher or hitchhike yourself?

Would you rather eat Michael Swango's spicy chicken or Marie Hilley's breakfast? (Might be in poor taste, no pun intended, but it is a really scary thought!)

Work the graveyard shift alone once or sleep in a rest area overnight alone?

Join the Medieval Knight reenactment group in the Kurt McFall segment or the Civil War Reenactment group from the Civil War ghost segment?

Be forced to sit in a room with Mark Nichols or Jule Caylor for an hour?

[Skyspy]

I haven't seen every segment listed, so for now I'll answer the ones I have seen.

I think I'd rather use the creepy pay phone than go into the basement.
For hitchhiking, I'd rather be the one hitching.
The graveyard shift/rest stop one is difficult..I'd have to say graveyard shift.

[wiseguy182]

ha! nice avatar skyskpy! Welcome.

Danny Wheeler or Bob Bean? Neither. Both of them would have me rolling on the ground with laughter with tears on my eyes, I would be forced to forfeit the game.

Paul Pollis's mom without question. If Charlotte Pollis's mom was my mom and she called me 15 times a day, I would buy her a muzzle for Christmas.

I'd rather pick up a hitchhiker by myself. Especially if they were cute. At least that way, I'd have a little control over the situation. And if I live or die, at least I'd be trying to help someone.

I work 3rd shift alone. 5 times a week. Consecutively for 9 years.

Jule Caylor because he would much more interesting, conversation-wise, than monotone Mark Nichols.

Wheeler. He's Michael Jordan and he plays for the Chicago Bulls.

Paul's mother. She'd help keep my house spotless.

The basement. At least there's a party upstairs.

I'd rather be the hitchhiker.

Tough call. I'd say neither. Both would be too risky and scary, IMO.

Mark Nichols. I'd try to grill him until he confessed to murdering his wife.

I added numbers to make it easier to answer:
1. no particular answer
2. Charlotte's mom, Paul's would think I was a slacker on the cleaning front
3. Basement, no question
4. pick up
5. breakfast, I don't like spicy chicken
6. Graveyard shift
7. Medieval knight, the clothing is way better
8. Jule Caylor

And to add a few:
9. Sit in the death chair or touch the fertility statues?
10. Be possessed by the sex crazed ghost or the ghost of Teresita Basa?
11. Have a drink with The Blue Lady or carpool with Resurrection Mary?
12. Share a house with Don Decker or Katie, Katie Gold Foil Lady?

[Apostapler]

Awesome idea!

1. Danny Wheeler. Much better basketball skills.
2. Paul’s Mom…I bet she’d teach me how to clean house.
3. Definitely the basement.
4. I’d rather pick one up. I’d be armed.
5. Marie’s breakfast. Arsenic is a lot slower.
6. Graveyard shift. I’ve done jobs like that in the past at gas stations.
7. Definitely the SCA. They have swords!
8. Oh jeez…what a choice. I guess Jule. He would have more intelligent things to say.
9. The fertility statues. I’d rather get pregnant than die.
10. Definitely Teresita Basa. The thought of getting it on with Alan Mann is not pleasant.
11. Resurrection Mary. I bet that gal was more fun.
12. Katie. Less problems with mold.

And a few more from me:
13. Have come upon the Kathy Hobbs or the Dorothy Donovan murder scene?
14. Have Bonnie Wilder or Richard Relf as an employee?
15. Sorted through Howard Drummond’s or Kathryn Bennet’s belongings?

1. Danny Wheeler
2. Paul's mom. I can deal with freeze-out and attempts to impose immaculate cleaning standards a lot better than marathon calls to my residence.
3. I am NOT going in that basement. I'm going to the payphone to call someone to pick me up.
4. Hitchhike. You're not distracted with driving. You can also jump from the car a lot more easily.
5. Marie Hilley's breakfast. I'll take a single meal with a moderately elevated heavy metal level than one with a load of toxin that will make you symptomatic within hours any day.
6. Graveyard shift, for sure.
7. Civil War!
8. Ooo, tough one. As much fun as Jule would be, I would have to go with Mark. I just want to see with my own eyes how this well this man believes what he says. And I would have so many questions I'd like to ask him.

9. Fertility statues--but only if I get to choose the week I get to do it.
10. Teresita Basa for sure.
11. Blue Lady--I saw enough Resurrection Mary during the Lifetime years.
12. Katie. I've got furniture I don't want waterlogged.

13. Neither.
14. Richard Relf. He might rob you blind, but he won't steal your identity!
15. Howard Drummond's! I would have loved to have gone through all those magazines and newspapers.

Danny Wheeler… I mean hello! He’s Michael Jordan.. and he played basketball for the Chicago Bulls!

Paul Pollis' mother.. Charlotte's mom seemed psycho in a way lol

Basement!

I’d rather be the hitchhiker..

Don’t make me choose! Lol I guess I’ll take Swango’s spicy chicken (hey that has a nice ring to it!)

Sleep in a rest area overnight alone..but this one is tough…

The Civil War group!

Mark Nichols… even though he clearly killed his wife, he seems more down to earth than Jule

[Dazinho]

Seeing as I'm in the minority who thinks Jule is innocent, I'd spend the afternoon with him. Much more chance of coming out alive!!

[WishfulDreamer]

My answers:
1. Danny Wheeler- I think Bob Bean would get smarmy and be condescending if he lost. He would do that smirk if I won and say it was just dumb luck.
2. Paul’s Mom: She wouldn't call 14 times a day and would help me keep a clean house.
3. I'd rather go in the basement...the payphone would leave me vulnerable to any weirdo roaming around!
4. I'd rather pick up the hitcher. More control that way.
5. Marie’s breakfast...as long as we hadn't been arguing about money recently.
6. Graveyard shift over the rest stop anytime. Customers would be coming in and out, and the job probably wouldn't be in the middle of an isolated area.
7. SCA because I would get to "fight" whereas I probably wouldn't be permitted to in the Civil War reenactments- unless they let you cross dress!
8. I would rather talk to Jule. I would ask him about his wife...and his salad expertise.
9. I'd rather risk getting pregnant! Fertility Statues anytime.
10. Teresita Basa- I would like to help solve crimes rather than attempt to attack Alan Mann!
11. Blue Lady, so she could set the origin of the legend straight.
12. Katie! I would rather get constant complaints that she was sweating gold than have my roommate flood the house constantly.
13. Neither!
14. Bonnie Wilder, because she's such a hoot! I would love to hear my embezzling employee talking about building the store together.
15. Howard Drummond's because he collected fascinating things.

[Spark Of Spirit]

As someone who worked the night shift, I'd rather choose that.

[MegtheEgg86]

I've got a couple ones:

16. Get on a boat with: Mary Denny or Astarte Davis Rice?
17. Get in a bar brawl with: Curtis Heck or Caroline Schlesser from the Audrey Moate segment?

[UMFaninMD]

Would you rather play basketball with Danny Wheeler or Bob Bean?
Danny Wheeler, he has a better sense of humor!

Would you rather have Paul Pollis' mom for a mother-in-law or Charlotte's mom?
Paul's for sure. If Charlotte's mom kept calling all the time I'd get rid of my phone. She was way too clingy.

Would you rather use the creepy payphone in the Nyleen Kay Marshall segment at night or go into the basement in the Kurt Sova segment at night?
Go into the basement.

Would you rather pick up a hitcher or hitchhike yourself?
Hitch myself.

Would you rather eat Michael Swango's spicy chicken or Marie Hilley's breakfast? (Might be in poor taste, no pun intended, but it is a really scary thought!)
Michael Swango's spicy chicken. I'd take a bout of vomiting over hospitalization and death.

Work the graveyard shift alone once or sleep in a rest area overnight alone?
Graveyard shift. I've worked alone at night before.

Join the Medieval Knight reenactment group in the Kurt McFall segment or the Civil War Reenactment group from the Civil War ghost segment?
Medieval Knights, the Civil War doesn't interest me.

Be forced to sit in a room with Mark Nichols or Jule Caylor for an hour?
Jule Caylor, he could show me his salad skills!

[Necco]

By the way, I think it should be a forum requirement that Katie be referred to as "Katie, Katie, Gold Foil Lady" from now on.
