What if... A game we all know and love. Since you are plimates, I will hold you to a higher standard than most forums. Please no one liners, no matter how witty. Use logical reasoning an/or creativity in your answers. Answer the "what if?" that has not been answered in order to ask a new one. You are welcome to go back and answer an old/already answered "what if?" if you choose, but by choosing to answer an old one you forfeit the right to ask a new one.

The first one:



What if termites were the size of small dogs?

Well then, they'd be a delicacy! we'd cook them up in all manners, Barbeque, Broiled, Fiambre! The legs would be served like king crab with a tantalizing butter reduction sauce, the eyes would be especially prized as virility enhancers! There would be a McCrispy Chipotle Mayonaise wrap and and annual Termite roundup in Chickasaw Oaklahoma. There would be massive commercial termite farms where they would be grown in cages and force fed wood so their livers would be a greasy delictible foi gras! Some people would keep them as pets giving them such names as 'pinchy' yet eventually would be overcome by the thought of their Delicious Thorax splayed open on a plate and cook them in a moment of unbridaled hunger! They would be crying as they ate their pet's delicious remains.



What if slithy toves gyre?

checkmate

All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

...or some such.

What if there really is a "they" and "they" are out to get "us"??

well then "they haven't done a good job cuz i'm still here unless i'm had an don't know about it. my turn?

On the night that the slithy toves first began to gyre and gimble in the wabes; the borogoves and mome raths outgrabe.

The young man was among them when his father called from afar; "Beware the Jabberwock, my son!"

He started to remember the tale of the terrible monstrocity known as the Jabberwock; the jaws that bite, the claws that catch. He knew then that he must also beware the Jubjub bird, and shun the dreaded and frumious Bandersnatch. For there would be no Jabberwock without the presence of the Jubjub and the Bandersnatch.

His father was at home, and he was on the otherside of a small shsngler grove. Nervously, he drew his vorpal sword and made his way back.

Suddenly, and without warning, the Jabberwock was before him. Wasting no time, the young man struck. Through and through went the vorpal blade went.

Snicker-snack, he left it dead, cut the through neck to sever the head. With its head, he went galumphing back.

His father chortled in his joy to see his boy returned. So chortled, in fact that he seemed mad as he spoke: "And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"

*Ahem*
What if there really is a "they" and "they" are out to get "us"?? is still in play.

what's wrong with my answer?

It's not that the answer you gave was "wrong", but I will again point to this quote from the directions:

So... what's the question, then?

sorry - what was that question again?

KIDDING~geez.

A billion light years away (or a trillion, or a gazillion or however many illion is a lot of light years) they are probably amassing great armies of cloned parthogenically created baby sharks, preparing to infiltrate our world. They recognize that the phenomenon called global warming is slowly flooding our planet and they await the day in the not too distant future when their vicious shark freaks can be dropped into our ocean (because at that point there will only be one) and tear apart anyone still left on the planet.

Or something like that.

What if Plime gets noticed by the big sites and a LOT more traffic comes through?

If plime gets noticed by the big sites and a lot more traffic comes through
you know what we'll have to do!
the true believers will get PLIME tattoed on the for heads
the call to arms will see that the non-believers are all dead.

we shall crown a king and make our new PLIME better

heed our battlecry of our state
PLIME TODAY, PLIME TOMMORROW, PLIME FOREVER

How would you survive if they took Plime from you?

Pay no attention to this post.

Is not the question supposed to be posed by starting it with "What if..."?

i'm sorry what if they took away your PLIME!!!!

If 'they' took away my Plime...I would begin to profusely sweat and nervously twitch while sitting and staring at my mouse arrow, clicking the refresh button on Firefox obsessively and futilely for 1 solid minute. After that, I would go back to work. I would then spend 5 minutes completing my workload which would take an average person 8 hours or an average person in the 1950's a month. After realizing Plime was gone for good, I would pack up and drive to BB's house as it states in the Plime Survival Handbook that all Plimates are to drive to highest ranking Plimates house if Plime were to ever be taken away by 'them'.

What if North was South and South was North?

You got a handbook? I didn't get a handbook.

The moment of truth, the precise instant when this knowledge came to light, would create mass confusion to everyone and everything on this planet. Birds, suddenly enlightened, would pull a u-ie and head the other way for migration. People's compasses (compii??) would spin at abandon, not knowing what to do or where to go. The aurora would war at the equator - the A. australis and the A. borealis would be pissed at the other for being in their territory.
Not to mention the fact that those inhabiting the northern hemisphere would suddenly find themselves in the southern hemisphere, and since the majority of Earth's population is in the northern hemisphere, there'd be a surge in sales of velcro shoes - how else will they stay on the bottom of the planet? The lack of velcro shoes to meet the demand would create mass hysteria, and refrigerators around the planet would find their magnets inexplicably turning backwards.


Of course, the magnetic north pole is at the south pole, and the south pole is at the north pole, so north really is south and south really is north.


What if you could buy markers that allowed you to draw on air?

I don't know how to type the sound that my head made as I shook it rapidly back and forth after reading that.
