Would you rather

[CreamyGoodness]

Have access to the George Jetson tubes to get to and from work, the store, etc.... or would you rather ride on the back of a giant, fiercely loyal llama?

Personally, I'm leanin' llama...

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

Can I ride the back of a loyal lama through the tubes?

I expect they can get dark now and again and would need some illumination.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Im going to have to disallow the combining of tubes with llamas for the sake of the exercise.

 

[Revvy]

Neither.

Tardis, FTW.

I'd never ride a llama in a tube. I specifically said lama given the enlightenment.

 

[NuclearRich]

Tubes. I can sleep longer. nuff said.

 

[Homercidal]

Got spit on by a llama when I was a kid. So I'm taking the tube if the General Lee is not an option.

 

[feinbera]

Can the llama be parked in one's garage and just sit there quietly until it's needed again? I live in the city, I can't keep a dog in my postage stamp of a back yard, much less a giant llama.

 

[ACbrewer]

Neither.

Tardis, FTW.

Clearly the TARDIS, there is no better transport, even if it is an older model mark-40. Think of it, traveling in time, it isn't "Are we there yet?" it is always "Have we been there yet?"

Plus with the space inside, I could finally have enough space to all grain brew.

My evil twin strikes again!

As for other folks out there, I am going to go out on a limb and say that cheezy is almost definitely a tubes man, while Airbourne most likely agrees that a badass loyal llama is the way to go.

I'm betting on Yooper as a tubes type of lady, whilst Tx would have a two-llama garage/barn.

Well, you'd have to feed him and bond to keep him loyal, but I dont think loyal llama upkeep would be extensive...

 

[kilted_brews]

Do you have to saddle a llama to ride it? Either way, for comforts sake, I'm going with the tube.

You COULD saddle him, but I dont think its necessary. The llama would be more comfortable saddless than a typical horse.

I didnt say "bareback" because I didnt want to make Homer chortle.

 

[Shooter]

It depends, I mean, how fiercely loyal of a llama are we talking about here?!?!?!

I'm talking he (or she) would fight for you, come to your rescue, and bite jerks.

 

[kilted_brews]

Hey now, a jerk biting llama is a horse of a different color. I may have to reconsider.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Or spit if he is just a little bit of a jerk. Basically the llama is a badass. Oh, he'll let your kids pull his tail too... he'll just complain but he wont bite or anything.

The tubes go really really fast, a lot faster than the llama... but you dont get a badass llama out of the deal.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

I'm going to say passedpawn is a tubes guy. I think anyone who develops medical equiptment is going to prefer high-tech tubes to a smelly, albeit badass, llama.

 

[SharonaZamboni]

I like the llama idea, but weather is a concern.

 

[Shooter]

I like the llama idea, but weather is a concern.

Wow, never thought of that...this could be a deal breaker!!!!

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Not to lead the witness... but do you know what you can totally do riding the back of a loyal llama? Smoke a pipe. Just sayin'.

 

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

For some reason I automatically assumed it would be a flying llama, so I'll go with a llama, but only if it has Pegasus wings. I really would prefer the TARDIS though.

Edit: I notice that AC brewer is also nerdy enough to know that TARDIS is an acronym.

 

[Hamsterbite]

Hmmm, clambake in my own exhaust, or get attacked by fleas?

Tubes it is.

 

[BBL_Brewer]

Screw the tubes and the llama. I'm thinking a nice shiny new DeLorean with the optional tape deck and flux capacitor. Pick a good weekend and call groundhog's day for a while.

Edit

Just think of all the beer I could brew if there were two of me. Not to mention the threesome I could have if there were two of my girlfriend.

 

[Tex]

Definitely llama. I'd finally have a use for the llama whistle I drunk-purchased on eBay 2 years ago!

 

[Zuljin]

I don't particularly want to do either of these things'

What if the tube has a small crack in it and I get stuck for lack of vacuum? Or get my whole body sucked out through a tiny slit? Or it has a raised section and I get sliced like on a cheese slicer?

And llamas? really? I rode elephant, camel, horse, cow, bull, mechanical bull (turible choise of transport btw) and I think that is all the animals I rode. You know why it took cowboys so long to get somehwerre? Not just because riding animals is slow. Because they can;t really go far. They have to rest and stuff.

 

[gratus fermentatio]

I gotta go with TARDIS on this, I mean, with a time/space vehicle I can go anywhere, any time...
Somewhere out therein the universe is a hot, Judy Jetson lookin chick who would just beg to be my companion in the TARDIS; then I can ride her like a lama, or she can ride me, well you get the idea.
Regards, GF.

 

[Hamsterbite]

Given it wasn't one of the two choices, the point is moot, however; I would just like to point out that the T.A.R.D.i.S, despite being technologically light years ahead of llamas and tubes, is an inherently unreliable means of transportation.

I'm sure this is why Creamy didn't include it as an option.

 

[gratus fermentatio]

What if my TARDIS was programmed to look like a lama?

 

[Hamsterbite]

I don't think the high council of time lords would be too happy about that.
