Week 13 Results

Details:

Option one: You are trapped in a room where you are being forced to watch a sequence of Christmas movies ad naseum. You are strapped down to a chair (it's an uncomfortable chair) with your eyelids propped open (how, I'm not sure.) And this is the sequence: It's a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th street, and Claymation cartoons ... all repeated indefinitely.
Option two: You are sitting at a table (in an otherwise empty room,) and are totally unarmed. The table is bolted to the ground, it is not a possible weapon. And you are being forced to listen to Christmas carols ad naseum ... performed by the cast of the Peanuts (Charlie Brown and friends, that is.) And while listening to that, you are addressing an endless supply of Christmas cards (as in writing addresses on them - not giving a speech). If you stop for too long, Santa is there with his reindeer whip to "motivate" you to keep working.
Option three: You are trapped in a room, unarmed - the Cloning Relative Room. Once every hour, a clone of your least favorite relative comes in. So every hour, another one will be added to the group. And whatever it is that annoys you about them, that's what they're all doing the whole time. They won't leave you alone. If you think you don't have a least favorite relative, then they'll just send in a gorilla - that will compel you to decide. Oh yeah and it's snowing (the room has a grated ceiling so snow can get through.)
Since it is the Christmas season, you are granted the luxury of as much egg nog as you want in each situation.
These options combine all the joys of so many previous questions!

Much thanks to Joe Slack for helping with this week's question!

Name: dev
Choice: Cloning relatives
Comments: i dont know how you guys handle you're least favorite relatives, but i yell at and argue with them anytime they bring up some stupid shortcoming of mine.

Name: Scott Hardister
Choice: Carols and cards
Comments: I would get some egg nog and throw it on santa, because everyone knows that santa melts when egg nog is thrwon on him.

Name: Amy Bromberg
Choice: Movies
Comments: Hey Kevin! Remember me? Well, I chose #1 because you can sleep with your eyes opened!!!!!! (You should ask if the bear is out for blood!)

Name: Noremac
Choice: Movies
Comments: Well since i have always wanted to learn how to sleep with my eyes open (so I could sleep in class and the profs wouldn't be able to tell). And this room would give me a great chance to do just that.

Name: Mama Slack
Choice: Carols and cards
Comments: I buy Christmas cards every year, and never get them sent. I've even found cards I've addressed in 1989 and haven't mailed. Guess I get lost in singing with Charlie Brown and his friends. Besides, this would give me a chance to get all those unsent cards organized so I can send them when I get out.

Name: Liquid Jules
Choice: Cloning relatives
Comments: This is where the egg nog comes in handy. I would give them all the egg nog and they would get drunk. Then they would stop doing the annoying thing and make me laugh all the time.

Name: Megan
Choice: Movies
Comments: Being trapped in a room with Cameron wasn't an option so I figured movies was the next best option.

Name: Cliver
Choice: Carols and cards
Comments: Ok I thought this was the stupidest one in a while until i read the other contditions in the scenarios. I don't have a least favorite relative really so that means the gorilla and unless he has a hook for a hand, id be in trouble. The movie thing... me strapped to a chair, eyelids and all like "A Clockwork Orange," I don't think so. That leaves the cards. Maybe i could disarm santa, he is just an old fat guy and i don't think you said my chair (santa slayer) was bolted down like the table... did you? all apologies for my enthusiasm for beating up a loveable cultural icon.

Name: ryan h
Choice: Carols and cards
Comments: i don't know why, i just would choose this one, ok

Name: Dayna
Choice: Movies
Comments: I dont mind movies but the two other situations could turn disastrous -- At least the movies are decient Christmas classics -- Is the Miracle on 34th street the new one or the old one? --- Hey everybody who reads these results -- I miss you all -- see you in a couple weeks!!!

Name: Catherine
Choice: Movies
Comments: I don't know about the whole thing of my eyelids being propped open, but it sounds like the best option to me because the movies are good, and I dislike addressing Christmas Cards because my hand gets tired. And I will have enough of wanted relatives after 3 or 4 days. So definitely the first option.

Name: Richard
Choice: Cloning relatives
Comments: All of my relatives are fine upstanding people, so send in the gorilla and let him bang on his chest. Who knows, maybe he was a hook for a hand, right?

Name: Curtis
Choice: Carols and cards
Comments: A pencil is a weapon, isn't it? So let Santa crack his whip! I'll stab him to death! If I can stick my fingers in my ears, the music will be drained so I don't have to listen to whiny little Charlie Brown.

Name: rachel robinson
Choice: Movies
Comments: this one was too easy. I pick the movies b/c it really requires no effort whereas the cards have to be addressed and the annoying relatives would keep getting worse and worse while the movies are a steady stream of "naseum". And besides--i'm sure i could learn to sleep with my eyes open.

Name: Bonnie
Choice: Carols and cards
Comments: I could sing along with the carols.

Name: Kevin
Choice: Cloning relatives
Comments: Well I could cast a vote that breaks the tie, but instead I will go with what my heart tells me. Sure they may be annoying but I'm sure it would give me a chance to come up with some good witty remarks.
