Wholly Meaningless Questions Theatre With Pred
I was at the bar this evening, with a few friends, celebrating the news that I won't be working for Starbucks much longer (thank every deity ever). After the fourth pitcher of crappy beer, those males of us in attendance started one of those conversations guys have, where they start to compare things and discuss which would be better/worse/more finger-butt-able. I'm sure most of you here have had or been party to one of these conversations. You know the kind.
Bear v. Tiger.
Where would you want to get shot?
Salma Hayek v. Scarlett Johansson
Et cetera. Tonight's topic was, if you had to have one happen, would you prefer...
A Faceplant? Or a nutshot?
Now, mind you, in both circumstances we're talking about a "Worst Possible Scenario" situation with both. We're assuming the nut-shot is a dead on, high-velocity high-impact solid strike to the man-purse with a object of significant size (a foot, a baseball bat, pneumatic drill, etc.) The same goes for the Faceplant. We're assuming it's an ass-over ears smack into a unforgiving solid object, the kind seen here, here, or god help us, here.
So, if you had to choose, which would you?
Please Note: You may not choose both, in hopes of the pain of one canceling out the other, as seen here.

Hmmm. Logic says facial damage may be more devastating/complicated in the long run, but on a gut level I can't just bring myself to go for the nut shot. Tough call. Can't decide.
Definitely Tiger, though. And Johansson.

And... uh, I think I'd actually take the shot to the coinpurse over the faceplant.

Johansson without a doubt.
As for Nut shot or Face plant it would depend on terrain of the face plant because I've done a face plant before and I've been racked in the balls before.
Both hurt a whole hell of a lot. One I had a bump on my head, a scratch and cut on the cheek and a heavily bruised nose. The other I was doubled over in pain for 10 minutes before edging over to a seat where I was in agony for another hour and then had a throbbing ache for another day or so.
Man that's a really hard decision.

Bear, I think the weight differential would make a difference there.
Foot, I can limp around for a few weeks.
Salma, I've had a crush on her since I was 13 and the snake dance scene in From Dusk Till Dawn put me over the top. I don't care if she's 41.
Faceplant, I just love my family jewels too much.

Hmm how does that old WOW saying go?? "Bear is for tank, tiger is for dps."
Ill take the dps. Id rather give than receive
A shot in the shin if you please....
Hmmm don't know either but I like the name Scarlett (probably a 'Gone With the Wind' thing .... 'Frankly me dear I don't give a damn')
Faceplant. At least a messed up face will generate some sympathy. Nobody cares if you get hit in the nuts.
So what's next weeks topic??
"Do. Or do not. There is no try." - Yoda
Well, if the faceplant involves no permanent disfiguring injury, of course I'd pick the faceplant. But if we're going for some kind of faceplant that will break noses and/or other bones, nutshot all the way. I can live with that temporary pain, even though unpleasant.

If Salma were a little younger maybe, but Scarlett as it stands
And against seemingly better judgement I would still rather go with a faceplant because I think that area could withstand damage much better than the alternative.

Nutshot can knock you out unconscious, faceplant not so much. I therefore choose the former - when I come to, the pain is already over. Win-win situation! Well, almost...

Yo Pred, so did you land that job you have mentioned prior to the S&T? Congratulations, man!! Do share the details!

Salma. Woof.
All these guys saying shoulder/arm clearly don't have a young kid that wants/likes to be picked up and held. I'll take an angled through-and-through butt-cheek shot. Sure, I might sit funny, but I'll still be able to pick my kid up and play catch/fishing, keep coding for a living, etc. Taking my arm/hands out of commission would be almost as bad as taking out my eyes.

I'm married, so it may as well be the nutshot. I've still got a face to hurt.
But aren't you worried that the bullet might accidentally hit your wife while she is holding onto them for you for safe keeping?

I just assumed she would be the one doing the shooting. Who else knows me well enough to want to take a shot at me?
I've had plenty of faceplants. It'd just be another scar.

Tough call. I once would have been heavily in favor of Hayek, but I've been appreciating Scarlett's fresher look more lately. Maybe she's just in front of the camera more often lately.

I'd like to be shot in Hawaii. Might as well make a vacation out of it.
I've taken more nutshots in my life than faceplants. Truly I was ahead of my time as most of my childhood, if filmed, would have found its way onto Break.com or AFHV. I tried walking across bike racks, with foretold slip. I've performed wheelies on my BMX bike in the rain, had the grip slide off the handlebars resulting in a truly solid crushing via hard plastic seat. At the height of my idiocy I dodged the tennis balls my father was hitting against a practice wall then been mesmerized by one hit straight center mass... watched it the whole way from the racket to my sack and couldn't move a muscle until I crumpled to the ground.
I'll take the sack for $200, Alex. They'll grow back eventually.
