Okay...choose one option
1: you can have anyhting you want, whenever you want, and as muh as you want. But,you have feet for hands.
2: You have the most dexterious hands on Earth, but you live back in the woods, and no one notices YOUR SKILLS ever, for as long as you shall live.
3: You have one milion dollars, but it's in a bond that is only redeemable after sitting in the bank for forty-seven and two eigths years.

If I chose 1: could I choose to be as good on a guitar as a conglomeration of my favorite guitarists? I'm not sure how it would work, but that's what I'd pick.
Would I also have hands for feet?
And if I choose 2: can I have access to instruments and things of that nature? And even if no one notices me, ever, for as long as I shall live, can I still notice them? Like say, via a radio, or tapes, or cds?
Jay, I'll tell you the synchronous thing about this post. Today at work, I was thinking. I thought, Jay never posts his questions anymore. I'd love to hear what's streaming thru that skull of his today. And that's the honest truth. Just a random thought. I wondered why you'd not posted querries like this lately. It's really super weird...

hehehe! I have a good tne or twelve that I'll post in the next few weeks. That's cool taht you thought aboot that today!
For number one, you can have anyhting you can imagine. No matter what you can have it. Except, it wouldbe nearly inpossible to paly guitar with feet for hands.
For number two, you have access to instruments, and everyhting, jsut nobody will ever notice your SKILLS. That's what i meant to say, sorry for not making that clear.
And, you would not have hands for feet.

I think I'd got for #3. I'm not particularly interested in having a mangled body, nor am I thrilled with the idea of being a recluse. -J

Well, you are not accually alone, just no one notices your talents. You can talk to whoever you want, go wherever you want, just no one notices your talents.

I would have to choose number 3 also, I really don't like the idea of having feet for hands, and I'm not much of a loner either.

Another female invades this fraternal brotherhood of sorts.
The female influence is small, but growing.

For #1, since I can have anything I want, can I have hands? And if not, can I be able to play really really well with my feet?
But either way, I wouldn't want #1......because it would be very dificult to kill kittens. I'd chose #3......is there interest?

no, you can't have hands, but you would be able to play wiht you feet. Just not good. because you couldn't figerpick or hold a pick, and your big toe is twice the size ofyour thumb, and the two middle toes can't move, so you would sound like hte dude form nsync that tried to paly guitar...man did that suck.

Man! You don't don't allow leway (sp?), do you? I guess I'd still pick #3.....it would be nice to have a million buck in 47 2/8 years.

Without a doubt, 3: You have one milion dollars, but it's in a bond that is only redeemable after sitting in the bank for forty-seven and two eigths years.

By the way, 47 2/8 years is the same as 47 1/4 years, which is just about the same amount of TIMe you can expect to spend waiting in line, in a bank to do just about anything these days.

Welcome aBOARD Sour Girl!!
So, #1, if you can have anything you want but you have feet for hands I would just want to play guitar as well as TR with my feet. By virtue of your description I would have to get it.
JAY SAID:quote: For number one, you can have anyhting you can imagine. No matter what you can have it. Except, it wouldbe nearly inpossible to paly guitar with feet for hands.
He said nearly impossible, so choose #1 and imagine yourself as a guitar player as good as TR with your feet and theoretically you should be able to have it. He did not say it was IMPOSSIBLE.

That's exactly what I was trying to get at. And not only that, you'd become even more famous since you'd be the only one who could play that well with your feet. Forget #3, you'd make a lot more than $1 million.

But if you had feet for hands, how would you kill kittens? Would you ever get laid? Or would it turn off all the women?

Unless the women have a foot fetish, but ewww.
While on the subject of Killing Kittens...
There is a comedian musician named Stephen Lynch, he's got a half and hour program floating around Comedy Central on Comedy Central PResents. He's like Tenacious D. Great guitarist, great singer, weird as lyrics.
Some song titles:
Alter Boy ( a Catholic priest who fancies an alter boy) Gerbil Song (I think. It's about him shoving a gerbil up his ass.)
Mom Song: Lyrics: Thank you dear lady, For being my mom, You did all my homework, You took me to prom, And I was the only guy, Who got lucky that night.
He's got a hidden track on the CD call Kill a Kitten.
"And I'll quote the bible cause that's where it's written, If ye loveth Jesus ye must, Kill a Kitten"
It's good stuff, and worth the money.

Hey Arthen, that topic has been covered in great detail by me. Here is the link:
http://www.timreynolds.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1642
As for Teri's comments, I guess I would have to imagine being able to play the guitar like TR and masturbate with my feet, or maybe just imagine being able to do all the things in life you can do with hands, you would still be able to do with feet. You would just need really long toes. You also asked "Would you ever get laid?" Probably not, but how is that any different that my current situation? Feet, Hands, what's the difference. My hands haven't gotten me laid thus far. Maybe I would have better luck with feet for hands. Who knows.

I would choose number one, only on the conditions that I could have ANYTHING I wanted. Because then if I could have anything.... I would learn to walk on my hands, and in this whole "feet for hands world" I would have the rest of my body reconstructed into a new one (like my head would have to be put at my feet) but if I am walking on my hands and my head is at my feet then I would be REALLY tall so some other body parts would have to go....not to mention everything would have to be reproportioned and flipped around..... but if I could have anything when I wanted I it then this would all be possible.... Now keep in mind, this would all be a top secret process... so all I would look like a normal woman (you know, like Heidi Klum only hotter), and it would never be obvious that my feet were once my hands.... I would then arrange to have the most dexterous hands in the world added on to my completely ridiculous yet perfect body that I had created, and be world famous for it.... And then after touring every square inch of the earth.... i would start to travel to the other dimensions... because if I could have anything I wanted..... All this for the trade off of feet for hands???? SIGN ME UP!!!
On a side note... I am not at all a visual person so all I can picture is a chick (I don't even want to picture this as being myself), walking on her hands, with her head balanced on her foot.... it's pretty creepy....
