Friday Spies©: "Would You Rather?" Edition

1. Live alone on a deserted island for 10 years or be paid handsomely to live at Neverland Ranch with the King of Pop for one year?

Now this is a hard one. Let's consider it:

Deserted Island for 10 years -- Well, if I had someone replenishing my supplies AND a comfortable little bungalow just up from the beach AND a large library of books AND a good supply of pens and paper . . . its sounds like it could be an excellent way to live, even without people. Companionship? I have Faulkner and Dostoevsky, among others . . .

Neverland Ranch for one year -- I would be paid to do nothing but ride rollercoasters, watch tv, and listen to Beatles records all day long. O, and I would get to live with a monkey. (Seriously, I don't mean Michael . . . doesn't he have a real monkey?) I don't think I would have to worry about being raped by the king of POP while held down by his bodyguards . . . I'm too old, too big, and not sick enough for Mr. Jackson.

I think it's a draw.

2. Be deaf or blind?

Deaf. I think it better I not explain why. Things could get nasty.

3. Have skin which changed color depending on your mood or visible sight lines?

Skin that changed color. A person can choose their mood, whether happy or sad. Its about taking control and making a decision. Otherwise, you become a victim of events.

But I am a guy, where my eyes go is entirely out of my control . . .

4. Spend a year in prison or a year on tour with Celine Dion and John Tesh?

Does it matter? Either way you will come out with a tattoo and some CRAZY stories to share with your friends when playing your next game of "I've Never."

On second thought, maybe prison-- at least I could write a book about my experiences there. On the other hand, who would want to read a book about a year on tour with Celine and John Tesh???

5. Have threesome with your close friends or with total strangers?

Absolutely no comment.
