For the group who LOVE to make threads never end, this forum is for you. Contained inside are the longest threads known to man, and responsible for half of AARR's posts. :)

I'll keep the thread going...Loud thunderstorm. Out west they have dry thunderstorms where the rain evaporates before it reaches the ground, and torrential rain causes floods. Thunderstorms don't always have rain.

Would you rather get chased by a bat in the dark or bitten by a mosquito? (btw..mosquitoes kill more people in MI than bats do each year.)
Bitten by a mosquito.

I'vesurvived many of those; however, I've never survived a bat bite.


Would you rather be fried in oil or boiled in water?

Boiled in water, I'll be a healthier treat from some fine young cannibal :lol:


Would you rather be married to a beautiful but lazy woman or ugly but hard-working and industrious one?

Really? Bats don't actively pursue you, while mosquitoes do...and carry deadly west-nile virus. Bats carry rabies and will only bite you if you try to handle them. I'd rather be chased by the bat.
Does the fact that you've never survived a bat bite mean that I am talking to a ghost right now? :mrgreen: :lol:

Ugly, hard-working and industrious one.
Women who are hung up on their looks tend to be unfaithful, while women who are less than perfect tend to be more genuine...plus, the beautiful woman may not stay that way when she is old.

I like winter, and a cold will probably be better than the flu.

I'd rather have a cold in the winter, because you get a fever with the flu, which causes chills...which I'd rather have in the summer.

Would you rather win a million dollars or a billion dollars?

GR&I, I'm biased toward MI railroads plus DT&I still exists largely intact.

Been in both, neither impressed me. However, a Cat. 5 hurricane does get your attention.

Cobra, I can out run a cobra. A grizzly from 15' and I become its appetizer and a tooth pick to clean its teeth :lol:

Trolled everytime. It can feel like that from time-to-time, so I can handle it!

I'm up for either but let's go with one long break. After 30+ years of taking a weeks vacation here and there every now and then I'm ready for a sabbatical :lol:

Would you rather live your life believing in God and living a good life only to find you were wrong and there is no God and you are simply worm food

or

Live like there is no God and break every law in your pursuit of pleasure only to find out after you die there is a God and he's not happy with you?
