More boring questions

Postby Mad Genius » Tue Mar 22, 2005 5:11 pm

I'm bored right now so I'm gonna make up some random questions to see how you would react under certain circumstances. This is pretty dumb so unless you are extremely bored you probably have something better to do.

1. Let's say you are at the movie theater alone. You buy some popcorn and are about to walk back into the movie when 4 guys your parents would label as "street thugs" say "Pay for your candy." You turn around to see if they are talking to you since nobody else is around, and they say, "Yeah you, pay for our fucking candy." They just saw you get like $17 back from the $20 you gave the cashier. It's maybe $12 for you to pay their stuff. Do you pay? If not, how do you react?

2. Your cousin, who you used to see fairly often but haven't seen since highschool, is in the area and decides to pay a visit to you. Let's say he is in his twenties. He's a nice guy but doesn't have a job and is poor. While he is staying with you you go out for a couple of hours. When you come back you find that your wallet is empty when it had $200 before. Your cousin is supposed to stay another week with you. Do you confront him about it? Throw him out? Ignore it?

3. You are walking out of a convenience store when you look inside to find that two guys are robbing the store. They don't have any weapons but they are beating the crap out of the cashier and forcing him to give them all the money. Suddenly, you recognize the two guys. They were very good friends of yours in high school. Do you a) go in and fight them off? b) Drive away and call the cops about it? c) Seek them out and confront them personally? or d) ignore it altogether?

Be honest with your responses.

1) I slowly turn toward them, and toss my bag of popcorn to the side in a dramatic gesture that personifies "cool." I then square my shoulders, puff out my chest, and scream "RAPE!" at the top of my lungs.

2) I slowly walk up to my cousin, and hold up my wallet. I then toss it aside in a dramatic gesture that personifies "cool." I square my shoulders, puff out my chest, and scream "RAPE!" at the top of my lungs.

3) I go to McDonalds for a double-cheeseburger.

1) Just ignore them and walk away.

2)confront him

3) call the cops on a cell phone rather than driving away and then confront them. I know I can beat the crap out of most of my high school friends so I have no problem with that.

However, I do like TW's answers as always. Yelling "RAPE" has gotten me out of a lot of trouble, but gotten me in even more trouble. A little tip, don't mention that word to your date because she usually stops drinking her ruffy colada that you spontaneously offered her.

1) I turn to them slowly and say, "You want a piece of this? I KNOW you don't want a piece of this!" Then, I begin dancing and SERVE them. If, later, they claim, "It's ON!", I get my posse together to serve them again, and F them in the A.

2) I go to sensitivity training to understand his needs and to empathize with his plight. I then exact my revenge by concocting a evil plan that will ultimately ruin his life by offering him get a job which he will be fired the day before his benefits are activiated.

3) I ask them to split the money with me, then sue the clerk for injuring their fists while the pummeling took place. Then, I talk to the clerk the day after, convince him to sue the convenience store company for millions based his lack of safety at his job, and everyone is happy, except the evil corporation. If the two guys are prosecuted and eventually convicted, then it's riot time in the name of justice.

How you doing? I'm from California.

MG, its time to for you to start playing poker again. You have too much time on your hands.


1) I either knock the biggest one on his ass and then stare at the other ones....or..if the biggest one is TOO big, I walk off chuckling.

2) I knock him on his ass

3) Ive been knocking too many people on their asses lately, so I just pull out my gun and tell them theyre under arrest.

its always about violence with you ice. Good thing you're in texas where they love that. Have they made it so you can just execute criminals once you find them so you don't have to wait 3 weeks for them to be on death row and straped in?

I get the feeling that if I knew you in real life I'd be on my ass quite a bit. :lol:

And yes, I do have WAY too much time on my hands as of late. I played on PokerStars like 3 times last week though and it went alright. I'm actually considering trying a 60-hour experiment over the next two weeks playing 3-tables of 100NL of pure ABC poker just to see how it goes. That's around 12K hands if I average 200 hands/hr. I'm terrible at stat-keeping and I've never used PokerTracker so I don't know what my BB/100 hands would be, but either way I figure I can make a decent amount. I dislike playing online ring games but I need a bigger bankroll to be playing MTTs as I would like to play the nightly $50/100/150 on Stars and the big weekend tournies on a regular basis.

I think thats a good idea except for the PokerStars part. I played there for the 1st 2 years of my poker career but have since cashed out. I won plenty at Stars, but believe me, there is way more money to be made at either Gaming Club or the "new" Party Poker.

Theres no reason why you couldnt avg 15 BB/100 hands which would put you around $1800 for that time frame (although I think you'll get closer to 180 hands per hour) whihc would make it $1620.

I'm a bit late on getting to this one, but I'll play.

1. Outpsych them. I think you just have to come right back over the top or fold. I have a fucking great stare and a clever mouth when I turn it on. I'd try to build up some genuine anger, too, in case things got physical (it's hard to go loco with cold blood). And you have to make sure the adrenaline routes to the 'fight' not 'flight' area.

2. Explain that I am disappointed, that I want my cash back and that I'd like him to leave.

3. Wade straight in there, the unfortunate kickee needs immediate assistance. Omission of action in this case is complicity.
