Courtney Wells | 41 comments Imagine you wake up naked in a box with no memories of who you are but you retain your basic personality.

How would you react?

You are informed by a recording that you will be assigned a part befitting your nature/position and a role that suits your disposition.

What adjective and noun would you be called by?
(e.g. The Grumpy Chef, The Meandering Minstrel, The Bossy Bridesmaid)

You are told by the recording that you will need to defend yourself but all that's available is an assortment of dingy/decrepit tools and random objects you would find around the house or in a garage (e.g. rusty pipe, tarnished candlestick, splintering mop - no knives, guns, chainsaws or obvious murder weapons).

What would you grab to defend yourself with?

Robert Berge | 4 comments 1) Probably knock to see if there was anyone on the other side. If so, try to figure out what the hell is going on and where are my clothes. If not, try to find a way to bust out. All the while though, I'd be perfectly thrilled that this was an actual adventure away from mundane everyday life.

2) The Curious Captain. (since two of the 3 examples alliterative)

3) Baseball bat - but if that's too obvious, the candlestick would do. Maybe with some screwdrivers as backup for anything really up close and personal.

Jennifer McDonald (JenMcDonald) | 69 comments 1)Reaction: Acute withered annoyance. “Why do these things keep happening to me?”

2)Position/Station: Misanthropic Human Resources Manager. (Oh, the irony of my existence.)

3)Weapon of choice: Pink bejeweled crowbar; a weapon befitting a wench such as myself. And you’d be surprised how many of these you can find simply lying around:)

Courtney Wells | 41 comments Those are great examples and a pretty funny what you'll acknowledge about yourselves. When I was coming up with this I was mostly having a "hell no" reaction.
