What Do You Do If You Were a Rock Star?

  • Thread starter Zargawee
  • Start date
In summary, the conversation is about a game where users ask and answer hypothetical questions starting with "What do you do if". The topics of the questions range from being a rock star, to being able to see the future, to living on Mars, and having control over the world. The conversation also includes some jokes and off-topic comments.

Ascribe within!

What do you do if you learn how to Ascribe Within, only to find out that the "palidromer" (Dob Bod) is realistically a reversal of the mirror image of the duplicates, replication of, it's own image, and you see a cat (Feline) jumping over the Moon, in the background? Tell me, Just what do you do?

With practice persons can learn
to resemble photographs of them-
selves. The cat in the background
is a disturbing image, leaping
over the moon like that. Try
elevating it's height above the
horizon so that next time it won't
be able to get over it. There is
also a big problem with cats and
christmas trees, but I haven't
foud a solution yet.

What do you do if you log onto

things are classified and arranged

Quick, first call a mentor, (Use the "Alert Mentor" System!) and ask them if, in this universe, deleting your posts actually arises in creating entirely new works, with your name on them, that you never ever bothered to type!

What do you do if, every time you 'post' a 'post', it is 'deposted' by a 'deposter'(er)??

Depose the deposter and deposit
his deposition at the depot.

You take a transverse viewpoint in opposition to the tangential reflection of the inverted trans^cis^dis spatialzation of the morphic, to see if it really was your painting(s) that were displayed, (given the temporallities of perpendicular universes, they may have already morphed) rather then simply an isomorphic interpretation of the events histologically historic result...or look under the rug, one or the other.

What do you do if zoobyshoe writes out one of those "Amazing but True" stories, and you suddenly realize that "The Zoob" is actually plagerising your life in "fractured" fiction??

I can only speculate. Chimpanzees and the works of Shakespeare? Read
also what I posted in the thread
in "physics" I think it is called
in this perpendcular universe
about the idiosynchratic percept-
ion of order. (Thread started by
Ivan-can't remember the name). Is
there some kind of "Sync" develop-
ing here, resulting from the un-
conscious gathering of bits and
pieces of info unconsciously put
into posts? "The Zoob" has no
conscious knowledge that any "Ama-
zing but True" shaggy dog story
he has posted is anything but the
creation of his general dementia
and imaginative twisting of
stories in the public domain,
(such as the film "Shine" in which
the main character collapses
onstage at the end of his thesis
performance of the Rachmaninov 2).
Therefore "The Zoob" himself would
be more startled than anyone else
to discover any more-than-coinci-
dental resemblence between his
byzantine meanderings and the real
life of any actual living person,
(unless the actual subject of that
film who is a real person residing
on the continent of Australia,
happened to decide to pretend he
was a Canadian gentleman, which
would be his prerogative, but I
very much doubt it because that
person would be unlikely to have
an interest in physics).
Private communication?
Close enough to seem like
plagarism? I can't account for it.
Don't have a clue.

What do you do if you're crawling
on all fours back toward the

dimension from which you came and
you can't remember upon which axis

Stand up! take a measure of your current position, multiply the X axis vector by 42, the y vector by half of that, and then follow the Z axis along the lines projected from the previous measures, (Stop and enjoy a 'Nice Beverage' while doing this, it is refreshing) as long as you have summed all of the vectors properly, you will arrive at the place you departed, within several parsecs of time, and be met by the "greeting" party (careful!) as they endevour to assure you that you have followed the right pathway, to the Stars! (Say "Hi!" to "The Zoob" for me when you get there, will ya?)

What do you do if while exiting the dimensional portal, you fnd that your math was off, and you, instead of meeting "The Zoob" meet "The Booz"??

Unlikely. You might, however,
encounter "booZ ehT", although
even that is subject to further,
Vanna White-like flipping.

What do you do if the unlikely
happens, you meet "The Booz",
you remember that part of the
directions provided by a friendly
passerby were to have a drink, you
drink "The Booz", then remember
that You are "The Zoob"
and have just quaffed your own
perpendicular alter ego?

Quick Run to the bathroom and have a great big **** and hope like Mad that your perpendicular ego survives the passage. If they do, congrats to them and the two of you should have a nice time, if not, Ooooops youse in BIG trouble NOW!

If "if" happens, (again, not
likely), the main focus of your
concentration should be to recall
what Einstein said to Feynman:
"Young man, where are they serving
tea?" to which Feynman responded.

Take a test, spin yourself, interdimensionally, to see if the perpendicular dimension is still obvious to you, if yes, then you are inert, if no, well, have fun! (Cause you is LOST!)

It's funny you should ask that
question because a Polish aviator
of my acquaintence once gave me the following advice to remember
if I should ever be piloting a 747
over the Bermuda Triangle and find
myself sucked into a perpendicular
universe: "Ttthhhizzzhhhh wwwhhhh
yyyy toooo suummpt..suuummmptin
rowwwnd n sssssortaaah...whaaa?
Ohhh tthhuh tss riiite."

What do you do if you're crawling
on all fours toward the 747 you
are scheduled to pilot over the
Bermuda Triangle, just about un-
able to contain your enthusiasm
over the prospects of the non-stop
flow of Martinis you evision to
be in your immediate future, when
all of a sudden you realize you
have been mispronouncing the word
"foliage" for years?

Definately Exfoliate, then Moisturize, then while flying your 747 over the Bermuda triangle, look down, see if you can find my boat, cause I lost it, with all hands, (cept me, naturally...SHHHH!) while I was exploring for that lost wreck's treasure that we fouXXXooops I mean that we were trying to find, that contained all of the silver dollars and gold coins, and that really really nice broach, the *Diamond* one, looks F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S baby, and return it all to me at PO Box # 12345678910 Station XQZ, via interdimensional portal, as I am vacationing in the perpendicular dimension at present...THANKS!

Haul out your erasor and erase the graffiti, first, then, prove that how far away you are, from any given toilet, is irrelevant. (cleanses the rock I hear)

occured to me that never once in
my life have I been stopped on the

It's always best to seek a precident in classical literature for this kind of situation and in the above described case the works of Scabius Cankerus come to mind as the most likely place to seek solace :"May all ye who read this develop boils on your asses and may your children's parents live to see their grandfather's grandchildren have to sit in a bath of potash and brine for two and twenty days as I have done..."

You respond to him, "WHAT the HECK DOES THAT MATTER?" and wait to see if the intense look on his face dissappears. If it doesn't, then just keep repeling down and ignore the (expletive deleted), if his expression does change, then thank him for the forewarning, and remember that, on Tuesdays, there is an extra charge (SurTAX) for repeling down on the Statue Of Liberty!

What do you do if you find out it is actually Tuesday, you need to pay the Surtax, and you haven't got the money, so they are going to put you in "Sing-Sing", for life!?

You try to quiet down the other thing that's pulsating in your pants by closing your eyes and thinking at that big statue you're heading towards. If that doesn't do it a few trips to the bathroom should.

This sensation happens to me all the time and is nearly always the illusory result of having landed in a stack of marshmallows after both chutes failed while skydiving. A warm bath, and a nice cup of hot chocolate (with marshmallows) will reorient you.What do you do if the breast implant of the woman next to you on a flight to Acapulco begins to vibrate enharmonically in response to some frequency being generated by the engines such that it begins to emit what sounds almost exactly like the bass line in measure 11 of Bach's Two-Part Invention # 14?

First you need to place your ear right up to it to determine if the Baseline is in resonant hormony with your estimation of it, as opposed to some resonant harmonic that is engine driven. Once you have determined that it is, in fact, and in deed, the Breast that is generating the sound, take out your tuning fork and place the lower end of the fork against 'said' Breast as to determine if the harmonic is generating a secondary wavefront that will cause a complete discombobulation of the engines fuel input systems as to cause the crashing of the airplane, should the harmonic be allowed to continue. If it is generating the harmonic, then suckling at said Breat should dimish the harmonic as to ensure that all of the passengers are safe, if NOT then sit back, enjoy the ride, and the wonderful sounds of Bach!

What do you do if while enjoying the lovely harmony of breast generated Bach, you realize that you used the wrong tuning fork, the jet's fuel systems have just shut down, the plane is diving towards the Earth at greater then Mach speeds, and you only have a penknife with which to save the day?

Since, in McGyver terms, having a penknife amounts to having an entire machine shop, you simply reconfigure your tuning fork to the correct frequency to get the fuel system back online, instruct the woman to apply it to her breast while tapping it, and crawl forward to the cockpit to coach the pilots on how to grow peanuts in magnesium poor soil while you take the controls and perform whatever entertaining acrobatics come to mind.What do you do if, after landing safely, you discover that your quick thinking, expertise, and

Quickly grab the nearest microphone, proclaim yourself as an expert in the resonant harmonics of silicone implants, then place the woman down on the ground and begin explaining exactly, detail for detail, how her improperly placed implants, Had they been done originally by you, would never have generated the harmonic to affect the airplanes avionics systems in the manner that they did.

It is comforting at times like this to be mindfull of the classical precidents, in particular, the words of the Latin life-commentator,Scabius Cankerous who said: "There is, among the Romans, a certain type of man who, after having given way to great agitation over his servant's having forgotten his spare toga, will calm his spirit and attempt to wear his wine
spill as if it were a greatly humorous spill, as if by adopting the manner of the clown he can turn attention from his embarrassment and put all at ease by inviting their laughter instead of withering beneath it. I call this type of man shameless, and would that all his togas bear the stain of the supporating ass-boil that stains my togas."

AAAhhhhhhh, a problem I have readily tackled on several occasions as having lived in several domiciles wherein the larger of the occupants were quite capable of replications of the stump of the General Grant Giant Sequoia. Take a leasing contract at the local tool rental outlet, renting for yourself a JackHammer, a Portable Ice Drill, (with Augers, various sizes needed) and a large Air Compressor, capable of a minimium of seventy five CFM (75 Cubic Feet per Minute) with the associated footage of Hosing and nozzles.
Given the Equipment listed above, the rest of the Job is a self evident reality of sequential use, with the adjuncted reminder of wearing all of the saftey and Bio-Hazard gear that you can possibly find, (and the oxygen tanks too) and the prewarning to ensure that the contractor that you hired with the dump truck be quite prepared to have an adequate sized truck arrive as these people sometimes underestimate the actual, and real, need of space. (good for you in contracting for the price, really really bad if they don't haul it all away for YA)

What do you do if when your contractor shows up to haul away all of the fecal mess that you just excavated, and the dump truck they bring, is only a 'six wheeler', and you have enough to fill several semi dump trailers?

Just evacuate the area and call into headquarters for round the clock napalm treatment. What do you do if, while cleaning the toilet, the lid on the water tank slides back and what appears to be a very small Native American pokes his head up and says: "Hey! What did I tell you about vasectomies!?"
