I'll take a fishing show by a narrow margin. I don't mind watching either but I'm not much of a TV watcher. Hopefully when I retire I can catch up on all the shows I hear about but don't have time to watch.


Would you rather be a dessert baker or chef?

Chef



Would you rather find out that Bigfoot is real or the Loch Ness Monster is real?

The Loch Ness Monster. I never enjoy the beautiful waters of Loch Ness but I often tromp around known Bigfoot habitat. Less chance of a bad encounter with the cryptozoological species that way ya know.

Fly, 2 hours vs 24-36 hours, easy decision for me.

A quiet place in the woods on a inland lake. I love animals and hate people


Would you rather be on Obamacare or have no insurance

No insurance. The reality is no one is ever denied care in a hospital in this country even if you have no money or no insurance.

Would you rather work on high power transmission lines from a helicopter or be a windows washer for a skyscraper?

You found one of my weaknesses. Either one of these I am doomed. but I'll take window washer on skyscraper cause I'm more familiar with it.


Would you rather lie on the tracks while a train passes over you or on a path while a tank passes over. In both cases there is barely enough room for you to not get hit if you lie perfectly still and the train/tank does not go off course.

I'll take the train. Seems just a little safer.




Would you rather live in the coldest part of Canada for the rest of your life or the hottest part of Mexico for the rest of your life?

Michael wrote:Would you rather live in the coldest part of Canada for the rest of your life or the hottest part of Mexico for the rest of your life?

I'll take Mexico

This is the hottest part of Mexico, right? When my waitress comes by I'll order an ice water


Would you rather live on a remote deserted island or in a remote part of the rain forest?

Sounds like a plan!

Rain forest. Just because there would be more room and resources

Would you rather root for MSU or UofM?

And there's a solar eclipse you can view with the "naked" eye



Neither. But if pressed I would say MSU just so they can beat those smug Wolverine's.



Would you rather work in the sewer system or do oil changes all day?

Would you rather work in the sewer system or do oil changes all day

oil changes all day. At least the oil pit does not have rats alligators and other stuff crawling round down there
would you rather work at a airport just in the summer or a railroad yard just in the winter ( this is an easy one)

Definitely the airport. I'd just love to be around planes all day (and you didn't specify whether I'd be on the ramp or in the air-conditioned terminal, but I assume you mean ramp. Either way, it's the airport )


Would you rather live without television or without music for the rest of your life?

Music. Zack's probably gonna give me a mini-ban, but I hate Rap, Hard Rock, and everything not from the 80s. sounds weird, but my favorite channel is XM 8, the 80s channel. You can blame the parents, but hey, it's good music. Not depressing like the vomit of today. This mini-rant was brought to you by: THE MQT3001!

Would you rather kick railcars in a railyard, or switch a major automotive plant?

Kick railcars in a rail yard. More variety and I like the exercise


Would you rather work for the railroad in the yard or be a raod crew?

Road crew I think.



Would you rather see the MAL restored in its entirety or the AARR restored completely (including the ferries) ? Both of them running at their peak traffic numbers.
