If you were picked by lottery to execute someone on death row whose identity and crime were not revealed to you, or if you refused, this person would be set free, would you execute this person?

Oh hell no. I am for the death penalty, but under those rules- f**k no.

I will go all Solomon on this one and say equally intimate in very different ways.

What is your relationship with this third party you are intimate with that you've never met?

Simply the closest friend I've ever had, who knows all my secrets and the depths of my soul.
I love my wife more, of course, but this person knows some things about me I've never told another soul.

Indy, I don't mean to pull teeth.  How did you come in contact?

A rather long story, TBH.  Our friendship grew very slowly for the first ten years.
We became much closer over the last decade.

You guys have minds that work differently from mine. I enjoy contemplating strange scenarios like that.  :teddyr:

Like today I was pondering, if two people were drowning in front of me and I could only save one, and one was a five year old, the other a much-hated middle-aged billionaire jerk who vowed to build a children's cancer hospital if I saved him, what would I do, save one child directly, or potentially save thousands of children indirectly? I thought about that all the time I sat through this extremely remedial lecture I had to go to.
What does not kill me makes me stranger.

Middle-aged billionaire jerks have a lousy track record of keeping their promises.

Yeah, but remember, Hitler was once a five year old. Do I gamble on the odds of this one being another Hitler and pull the mite out of the water?

Yeah- but I bet on the present- not the future. A child is innocent. f**k rich scumbags.

Aw, you know I'm just bumblefuggin' around, RC, I'd pull the child out without thinking twice. I just amuse myself constructing odd scenarios.

Goodnight to you and all. I hope you're doing well.  :cheers:

Not the kid. Well, maybe. Depending on how hungry I am at the time.

Have you ever had a memorable bodily accident?

Yes. I totaled a truck. I broke both my legs, got a big ass scar on my chin. Second car wreck (I wasn't driving this time) I went threw a sunroof while the car was doing endos in a cornfield and broke my neck.

The one-car crash I've been in, was the day we later found out that Kristi was pregnant with Ash. Pretty sure I'll remember that day.
