GROUNDHOGS!

So, hypothetically speaking of course...

We've all seen the movie Groundhod Day with Bill Murry.  If you haven't, then watch it now, because that's ridiculous.  It's one of the greatest comedies of all time.

You wake up tomorrow morning, and it's actually today, February 17th, 2010.  This happens over and over again with no rhyme or reason.  You're forced to live the same day repeatedly for an undetermined period of time.  How long does it take you to go Bill Murry and axe yourself?

As always, leave your thoughts in the comment!

Another day, another dollar...

So hypothetically speaking of course...

This one is short and sweet, but your responses don't need to be.

Every kid dreamt at some point of what they wanted to be when they grew up. You have your typical firemen and ballerina's. Lets say that in fact now that you are all grown up, and reading the blogosphere, you HAVE that job you once dreamed of doing.

For the sake of this not going totally out of control, no Superman's or Catwomen.

Do you think you would be happy working at your first dream job? Are you currently working your dream job? Do you think you'll ever get to work that job? Has your dream job changed from child to adult? If so, what is it now? This, and so much more.... in the comment section.

RIP Dolly (the sheep)

So, hypothetically speaking, of course...

Let's just set the record straight: everyone knows that ever since they cloned that sheep, the government has been cloning humans and putting them in strange situations to see what happens.  This one may not be so hypothetical after all....

So you're seeing this person.  You've been with them several years and you're hoping to be engaged VERY soon.  Things are going great, but an accident happens and they pass away.  You're obviously devastated.

At the wake, people are clearly upset and many are drinking heavily to ease the pain.  You're in a discussion with their best friend from college and they feel they need to come clean with you on a secret about your former significant other.  Something that they've NEVER told a soul, but because you were so close, they felt you needed to know.

In college, your significant other participated in a government cloning program.  The government takes people at different times in their lives and clones them.  They move the clone to another part of the country to live a similar life and then monitor the progress of both to see how each turn out (is a copy as good as the original?).  There is a clone of your deceased significant other living across the country.

This is shocking news to you, as they had never mentioned it before.  It's a top secret government project.  You decide its best to leave your memory of your partner alone and not to disrupt any grieving by trying to meet the clone.

A year passes and you're on a business trip on the other side of the country when you completely randomly run into the clone at a coffee shop.  It is a spitting image of your significant other and you can't believe it.  You CANNOT resist the urge to say something, so you sit down with them and tell them about it.  The clone is nearly EXACLTY like the original in every way.  Same looks, same sense of humor, same job, etc.  Naturally, you hit it off.  You have to get to a meeting and they have to leave for work, but you exchange numbers.

What do you do next?  You just got over your loss.  This clone lives on the other side of the country, but is EXACTLY like the person you've lost.  Do you pursue or back-off?

My comments post on Friday in the comments section.

Bill and Ted's Excellent New Year's Eve!

So... hypothetically speaking of course.

This hypo comes with a hitch.  There is a bit of a time constraint in it, so pay attention.  Upon reading this you will be asked how you would react in the first minute of the situation happening.  Therefore, we request that your response be just that; how you reacted in the first minute after reading this hypo... be honest kiddies.

It's new years eve and you are rocking out your usual celebratory revelry.  You are in a bar, or a house party or any type of social gather you choose.  Lets also say that you have been drinking heavily leading up to the big moment.  Everyone is there getting wastey faced and suddenly at 11:59pm an overpowering mental epiphany (if you will), overcomes you.  It informs you that at midnight you will be able to mentally travel back in time to yourself exactly one year before (New Years 2009) and take one minute to inform yourself of any information you deem important.

Now, some things to consider:

• You are very drunk right now, so you are probably having some pretty trippy images floating through your head regardless of this space time warp epiphany thingy.
• You ONLY visit yourself MENTALLY, meaning your previous self gets the information you want them to know in their head (which is clearly not as convincing as seeing a physical representation of yourself standing before you)
• Lets also assume your previous self (2009 version), is also extremely drunk...

So you drunk are mentally trying to communicate what your perceive to be vital information to also you drunk 1 year prior, and you only have 1 minute to get your point across.

Whatever comes to you're mind RIGHT NOW, is what you should leave in the comments.  GO!

Oh yea Happy New Year!!!

Get on your Boss’ “Nice” List at the Company Holiday Party!

So, hypothetically speaking, of course...

You've worked hard at your current company and find yourself in a position of power with 3 or 4 people working underneath you.  You've hired an attracitve intern that gave a good interview a few months back.  You know through colleagues that he/she parties pretty hard, and you're interested to see what happens at your company's holiday party.

So the holiday party starts off uneventful until said intern gets a little sloppy.  He/She is all over you and you've never seen this side of them before, but you're DEFINITELY into it...younger, attractive intern.  You're getting a little sloppy as well, and you're starting to realize that it probably looks strange to have your intern all over you in front of your colleagues.  You wisen up and tell the intern to meet you at the local bar in an hour for a drink so it doesn't look like you've left together.

You cap the night off with the intern and a whiskey on the rocks...they invite you back to their place, you accept.  Things are getting hot and heavy as you move to the bedroom.  Here's where things get wierd.  The intern stops for a minute and says, "If we're going to do this, the only way I can get off is if we film it."

You're clearly already into it, but you do realize the moral implications of the situation.  You probably shouldn't be hooking up with them anyways...they're your subordinate!  However, remember that you're EXTREMELY intoxicated at this point and just polished off your like 8th straight up whiskey in addition to whatever else you've been drinking at the open bar.

Do you stop?  You've already come so far...
Do you refuse to let them film?  How will they react to that?
Do you say "screw it" and go through with it anyways?

Merry Christmas!

Give me mustaches or give me death...

So hypothetically speaking... of course.

This one goes out to all the sexy stache's out there.  Please donate at www.m4kboston.org

You go to a bar, like you do, cause that's what you do.  You are on the lookout for some sexy lady; a few beers later you find her.  You guys totally hit it off.  She's sexy, intelligent, you are really enjoying her company.

You guys hit it off so well, you go back to her place.... and you do it.  The sex, it happens.

Post amazing sex, you have to head home.  Next day, you can't wait to see her.  You clearly have the beginnings of a promising relationship, and it's only been 24 hrs.

You guys meet up again and everything is going fantastic as expected, but with one caveat.  You find when you go in for a kiss, she's a bit heavy on the peach fuzz.  So much so that its slightly beyond the "fuzz" state.  You CANNOT feel it when you kiss and you CANNOT see it unless you're within 8 inches of her face.

So here's the shtick.  She is perfect in every way, except for her feminine cookie duster.  How long do you wait to tell her?  Do you even tell her?  Does it matter to you?  If you do tell her, do you request a full shave, or do you simply mention to her that you recognize its existence?  What do you do?!

"Connect" with the Stars...

(Fap)

So hypothetically speaking, of course.

Many folks that are in a committed relationship often joke about having those celebrity's crushes, and if they got the chance they would totally mash that shit (a.k.a have sex with them). The general deal of these conversations includes some verbal contract stating that if you ever got the chance to hook up with that person, you are cleared with your partner to do so. Mine personally is Natalie Portman, hence my choice of picture for today's post. My partners is Johhny Depp or some shit, whatever, who cares?

Long story short, here's the deal. Your partner has a celebrity crush. What if on some magical evening they are out doing whatever they do, and the stars align such that they are standing in front of that crush they so desire. Those same stars align with even more perfection and the two of them hit it off and there they are, standing in front of their celebrity crush and they are 100% willing to hook up. Are YOU cool with them hooking up? After all, you gave them the go ahead to do just that for so many years.

To that same point, what if you get the chance? How would you feel about it, how would your partner feel about it?

Really go with it here, let it all out (in the comment section).
