Give Me Decadence or Give Me Death!

Uh-oh, my Hyde side is showing in Karen’s ToT…

Karen Schwartz has a fun ToT that everyone should think about!

You’ve won $100,000. Are you saving it or spending it?

Spending it on a new roof and other repairs! Decadent enough for you?

Are you more likely to go camping in the Colorado mountains (glamping if your physical body requires it) or stay at the Ritz Paris in France?

Ritz, dahling. I’m not sure glamping will go far enough for my osteoarthritis.

Do you prefer an “All-You-Can-Eat Entrée” Buffet or an “All-You-Can-Eat Dessert” bar?

Damn, you’ve got me in a Krushgroove moment! Anyone remember the Fatboys’ song, “All you can eat?” Well, that’s me. Keep the cheeseburgers, sausage, fried chicken, sushi, oysters, rock shrimp comin.’ Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Ethiopian, American, and Italian are an OK with me. An English carvery is great too, complete with roast beef, lamb, cottage pie, and Yorkshire pudding (lots of gravy, please) is plenty fine too! But no Applebee’s please: that has got to be the blandest, most disgusting food ever! Just put me in the sweet spot: close enough the buffet — and to the restroom.

Would you rather be a pampered poodle in a two-storey condo or a wild horse galloping in an open field?

I really, really, really hate dogs — and am not ashamed to admit it. So a wild horse galloping in an open field is what I’ll be!

5. If you could choose only one, would you choose fine dining with your favourite author or to volunteer at your local soup kitchen?

But — but — but the vast majority of my favorite authors are dead! In some cases, over two centuries. Volunteer at my local soup kitchen it is.

6. If a genie granted you one wish and only one wish, would you use it for yourself or a loved one? What would it be?

I’ve had a difficult enough life. So yeah, I’d use it for myself!

7. Do you prefer giving or receiving massages?

I’m ticklish so I’d rather give massages.

8. Would you rather earn $20 million by inventing something or earn $1.1 million by winning a Nobel Peace Prize?

The Nobel Peace Prize has become a joke for me after Barack Obama was awarded it — only to expand George W. Bush’s wars from 2 to 7. So I’ll take the $20 million and use it to lobby AGAINST wars!

9. Would you like to receive a free lifelong supply of Gourmet ice cream or free rolls of toilet paper?

Knowing my luck, I’d probably become lactose intolerant after winning a year’s supply of gourmet ice cream! Whereas I can always use toilet paper.

10. And an easy one: would you rather be healthy or wealthy? You can’t have both.

Healthy. That is possibly the greatest reward one can have.
