Would You Rather Wednesday: Be Stuck in a Broken Elevator for 10 Hours or on a Broken Ski Lift for 10 Hours

Today’s Would You Rather Wednesday question is ‘Would you rather be stuck in a broken elevator for 10 hours or on a broken ski lift for 10 hours?’ Some Rules:

For Both: You’re by yourself. You have no electronic devices on you (no iPhone, no iPad, NOTHING!) The only food you have on you is an Almond Joy and some Tic Tacs.

EDIT Broken Elevator: You’re in the oldest elevator in ALL of New York City. This thing is freaking scary. It breaks down all the time, the door closes on people’s body parts. You’re surprised it even works. There’s no elevator music. It’s in the heart of Winter and this elevator doesn’t have heat. You’re stuck in-between the two highest floors of this building.

Broken Ski Lift: You’re at one of the highest points of the ski lift where it’s impossible to jump down. It’s pretty cold outside (you were skiing!). @Matt Ramos — The ski lift is not going to fall or break.

Hilarious To Do List

Hilarious To Do ListQuick shout-out to Arel Moodie for the idea for this blog post (I basically stole it from something he posted on Facebook). Check out the list, you won’t be disappointed!

  1. Wear shirt that says “Life”. Hand out lemons on street corner.
  2. Hire two private investigators. Get them to follow each other.
  3. Major in philosophy. Ask people WHY they would like fries with that.
  4. Go into a crowded elevator and say, “I bet you’re all wondering why I gathered you here,” with a straight face.
  5. Make vanilla pudding. Put in mayo jar. Eat in public.
  6. Become a teacher. Make a test where every answer is “C”. Enjoy the show.
  7. Buy a horse, name it “Oscar Takes The Lead,” enter it in horse races.
  8. Invite someone into your office, turn around in office chair and say, “I’ve been expecting you…”
  9. Buy a parrot. Teach the parrot to say,”Help! I’ve been turned into a parrot!”
  10. Follow joggers around in a car blasting “Eye of the Tiger” for encouragement
  11. Put blue Gatorade in a Windex bottle. Drink it in public.
  12. Buy four pigs. Paint 1, 2, 3, and 5 on each pig. Let them loose in a mall and watch security try to find number 4.
  13. Smack a kid in the face with a bottle of Johnson’s No More Tears shampoo. Sue Johnson & Johnson for false advertising.
  14. Take mentos and freeze into ice cubes. Put the ice cubes into your friend’s soda. After five minutes their drink will randomly explode.
  15. Buy a turtle. Name it “The Speed of Light.” Tell everyone that I can run faster than The Speed of Light.
  16. Sneeze in front of the pope. Get blessed.
  17. Buy CD of ice cream truck music. Drive down the street blasting it. Watch kids get disappointed.

Would You Rather Wednesday: No Phone or No Internet for a Month

I apologize for skipping last week (it wont happen again, I swear!). Today’s Would You Rather Wednesday question is, “Would you rather have no phone or no Internet for a month?’ Some rules:

No Phone: You will no longer have your phone. You can’t use it for anything. You will have to find another way to keep in contact with all of your friends and make plans. You can’t use a house phone or a tablet computer either. You’ll have to use alternative methods such as carrier pigeons, email, aim, etc.

No Internet: You can’t use anything Internet related at all. Think of the Junior High School days when all you had was those brick Nokia phones that you played Snake on all day in class. You can’t use a computer for e-mails, streaming music, Facebook. If you have an iPhone, it will still operate as a phone but you’ll have no data plan (no browsing, no Draw Something, NOTHING!)

A Letter From President Barack Obama

Check out this cool letter that I received from President Barack Obama! My brother and I were recognized at The White House back in November for being a part of the Empact100 list of top young entrepreneurs and this was his way of thanking us. I think I’d rather have Jeremy Lin’s autograph but I think President Obama’s isn’t too bad.

The letter also came with this signed picture of him as well.

Before anyone asks, yes the letter is hand signed and it is not a computer printed signature.
