If a UFO landed in your backyard....

[Yeoman Randi]

A friend and i use to play this game we called "What if?" We would come up with a scenario and ask each other "what would you do?"

My favorite one was this, "If a UFO landed in your backyard and an alien came out and asked you to join them, would you?"

Now, you don't know if their intentions are good or not. And you cannot call your loved ones and let them know what you are doing. So, my question is....

Would you go?


I would in a heartbeat. And from day one, my husband has known that i would. And it's always been understood that if one day he comes home and i'm not here...i'm gone. Like, really gone.

Would you go?

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

I'd go. Not a lot really for me here anyway.

 

[RandyS]

Absolutely I'd go. When the novelty wore off I could always take over the ship and come back.

 

[Roger Wilco]

Yes. Instantaneously.

 

[Lonemagpie]

I'd hijack the ship, paint the Jolly Roger on the side, and embark on a fun new career in space piracy...

 

[trampledamage]

No, not without my husband and my kids.

These days you could offer me a million dollars and a cruise around the world and my answer would still be not without husband and my kids.

A bit from all the above:

1. Sure I'd go - if I could bring the interwebs.
2. W hen all the aliens died from some infection I brought on board their ship I'd take ot to Earth and pillage it - I would of course have my corporate HQ in California...

 

[auntiehill]

Well, my backyard is about 20 square feet, so their spaceship would be pretty damn small, and the aliens pretty tiny. I don't think my fat-ass could fit in it, and even if I did, it wouldn't be a very comfortable ride....unless it was the Doctor and his Tardis.

If it was the Tardis, I'd jump in without question and call Hubby later.

Hell, it'd probably take him a few days to notice I was even gone.

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

I'd hijack the ship, paint the Jolly Roger on the side, and embark on a fun new career in space piracy...

And trigger an interstellar war. Good job.

 

[Mr. B]

No.

 

[Yeoman Randi]

Well crap, it just dawned on me that i should have made a poll for this.
*banging head on keyboard*

EDIT!!!!! DONE!

Given that there doesn't seem to be a language barrier, I'd want to ask many questions before even considering embarking on an extraterrestrial journey. I think it would be foolish to trust that ones life and personal interests are safe in the hands of the strangest stranger you've ever met.

For comparison, if a strange looking stranger pulled their car into your driveway and asked you to join them, would you?

Nah, piracy's a criminal matter not an act of war.

And besides, who cares, I'd have fucked off by the time the pissed-off motherships arrived!

 

[T'Baio]

No, I wouldn't. Odds are there would be some sort of pathogen I have no immunity to and I would die rather quickly.

 

[trekkiedane]

No, I wouldn't. Odds are there would be some sort of pathogen I have no immunity to and I would die rather quickly.

Well, that's a two-way street

For me, that comparision is apples to oranges. Of course i wouldn't go with a stranger in a car (*stranger danger* gah!!) ...but we are talking about aliens. From another world.

I'd risk it...yep, i would.

 

[T'Baio]

No, I wouldn't. Odds are there would be some sort of pathogen I have no immunity to and I would die rather quickly.

I know, but the point is, I would die rather quickly, so what's the point?

 

[Nociod]

I voted no, I wouldn't go.

I know what we humans would do to the aliens (dissect them), I wouldn't trust them not to do the same to me

And doom the rest of us? Ass.

 

[Deks]

I'd ask a few questions first and foremost ... then I'd take them upon their offer.
