IF.....

There are a great collection of books called "IF...", which ask 500+ questions to generate discussion between friends and family. Some center on love, the soul, work, etc. I will start by posting 10 questions I just randomly find in the book (some can be serious and thought-provoking, others fun and light-hearted), and see what kind of response it gets here. If there's a good amount of replies, I'll continue every couple of days with 10 more questions. This first batch is from the first volume, "Questions about Life".

1. If you could spend one whole night alone with anyone in the world who is currently alive, who would you select?

2. If you had to eliminate a single type of animal forevermore, which would you choose?

3. If you could, in retrospect, change one thing about your childhood, what would it be?

4. If you could have had the starring role in one film already made, which movie would you pick and why?

5. If you could return for one year to one age in your life, knowing what you know now, to relive that year as you wish, which year would you go back to?

6. If you were to be stranded forever on a desert island and could have only ONE book to read, which would you want?

7. If you could eliminate one day from your past so that you had never had to live through it, which day would you erase?

8. If you could sleep with one person without fear of resentment from your significant other, who would it be?

9. If you could be invisible for one hour, where would you go and what would you do?

10. If you just learned that you were to die in exactly one hour, what would you do?

And now, here it is...your moment of Carlin (10/10/2008)


I don't think we should be governing ourselves. What we need is a king, and every now and then if the king's not doing a good job, we kill him.

Ooh, sounds good Edit: And...I've just bought that book from amazon. Ta


1. If you could spend one whole night alone with anyone in the world who is currently alive, who would you select?
You know what, I'm a loser...I wouldn't want to spend a night with anyone other than Matt. Even if 'one night alone' doesn't mean nookie. I just wouldn't feel comfortable spending a whole night with someone.

2. If you had to eliminate a single type of animal forevermore, which would you choose?
Wasps. The little bastards. Do they do anything? I can't think of how nature would really change if they all went...like food chains and whatnot. Yeah, get rid of the buzzing hovering summer-ruining gits.

3. If you could, in retrospect, change one thing about your childhood, what would it be?
I'd learn to ride a frigging bike.

4. If you could have had the starring role in one film already made, which movie would you pick and why?
Godzilla

5. If you could return for one year to one age in your life, knowing what you know now, to relive that year as you wish, which year would you go back to?
Knowing what I know now....so does that mean I could go back to being 4 years old but having the intelligence of a 20 year old? I'd be one of those super kids. So no...lets not do that. Even though I had a crappy few years as a teenager, I wouldn't want to go back and change anything because it got me where I am today.


6. If you were to be stranded forever on a desert island and could have only ONE book to read, which would you want?
Possibly the bible...either that or a big bumper edition of erotica.

7. If you could eliminate one day from your past so that you had never had to live through it, which day would you erase?
See Q5.

8. If you could sleep with one person without fear of resentment from your significant other, who would it be?
Hmmmm.....if I didn't have to live with the guilt or repercussions or anything either....you know what...I have NO idea. Seriously, I've been sat here for ages thinking about that one. I don't think I would. I am such a loser.

9. If you could be invisible for one hour, where would you go and what would you do?
Hmm...I'd watch people poop. Yeah, definitely...poop watching.

10. If you just learned that you were to die in exactly one hour, what would you do?
Write letters to people, write my funeral arrangements, have sex. Actually, have sex first...don't want to die during it...unless we stop 5 minutes before death-time and have obligatory cuddles until I say au revoir.
