Would You Rather?

I was reminded of an awesome game while emailing Cece today: Would You Rather? It's an easy game and even more fun than Truth or Dare since you don't need to move or do anything. Basically, you offer up two really unappealing choices (ie Would you rather drink two ounces of liquid out of a blister, or eat a salad covered in bits o' scab?) and then everyone has to pick what he or she would rather do. The best part is how people defend their choices. For example, I'd rather drink the liquid out of a blister because I could take it like a shot and it would be over quickly. Eating the salad would take more time, so you'd be grossed out for longer. Feel free to play at home!

You can turn this into a drinking game, too. And by that I mean you can easily play this while sitting around drinking. No coordination or need to put down your beverage required here. Typically the more you drink, the more interesting (read: all about sex) the options become.

This is also an excellent way to save a flailing dinner party or jump start the conversation on a date. Try it. You'll learn a lot about the people around you.

i've already learned a lot about you from the fact that you're suggesting this as a dinner party game, and your example involves ingesting putrefying body products. very telling, defazio, very telling indeed....

See? It brings people together! Blame Cece for that example: she asked me this one. But I think she got it from a book or something?
