Focus: If you had to switch bodies with someone, who would you choose and why? It can be someone you know, someone famous, anything. After the swap, you gain all of that person's knowledge and possessions. Only thing is, the switch is permanent, so you might not want to just swap with the hot guy/gal down the road just so you can see them naked. Pervs.
Is this to mean you would also inherit their memories, so its not like you're living some awesome new life, but you basically lose your family and friends? I would go with any elite soccer player in Europe. Cristiano Ronaldo is an easy choice because of looks, talent, $$$, and Irina Shayek, but then I'd also be kind of an asshole. I'd probably choose someone like Eden Hazard who just signed with Chelsea. 21, stupidly talented, and a career of riches and the finest European dimepieces ahead of him. And I wouldn't throw it all away being a jackass like I'm sure he's going to. And I choose soccer over any American professional sport cause the cult of personality is so much grander over there. Its like being an NBA AND NFL star, with the inflated salary of an MLB player tossed in.
Mark Zuckerberg. Young, rich and powerful. Plus he acts and dresses like a slob already so it won't be one of those "oh my what happened to the old Mark" movie moments when I get behind the wheel. I'd just half to sell my Facebook shares before I ran the thing into the ground.
I'm assuming they have to be alive. Otherwise I'd pick Einstein and just look at people with a greater degree of condescension than I do now. Since dead people are (probably) out, I'm going to go with Dan Auerbach, one half of The Black Keys. He's young, immensely talented, riding a wave of popularity, and financially independent. Plus I've always wanted to learn how to play guitar without having to spend an odious amount of time, money, and pain in my fingers doing it.
Tom Wallisch. Absolutely on top of the freestyle skiing field right now. Just to be able to do anything to this level would be insane.
I think I'd have to go with Adam Levine. I'm not a Maroon 5 hater, so I think I could handle being the frontman of a band that makes the white people feel funky. Also, if the TiBettes are a good sample source, the majority of women in the world will be okay with my looks.
Pssh, if it is just about pleasing white people and Tibettes just go with Daniel Craig. If they don't say they dig him, bitches are lying. It't mother fucking James Bond. James Bond>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Maroon Gay.
I fail to see this as an argument against doing precisely that. Focus: One of those ladies with two vaginas.
When I saw the thread title, I immediately thought of this. Focus: I've always thought it'd be fun to be Jason Ellis.
Who the fuck wants to become someone else. Fuck those guys. If I'm taking over, I'm retaining my psyche. That's why I want to be The Dalai Lama. I want to be the reincarnated Buddha. I would turn him into a dude-brah frat boy. Because it would be hilarious. Millenia of tradition ruined in one press conference. Passive Aggression my ass. I'd start carrying a TR big stick and challenge China to outlandish battles, like a dueling submarine fight or a flip cup tournament. "Next round wins Tibet, you pussies." Plus the groupies. Richard Gere would shit gerbils. I would turn the Ashram into Animal House. I would challenge Bill Murray to a golf game in the Himalayas.
James Glickenhaus, if only to be so connected to the development of his Ferrari P4/5 and drive it whenever the hell I wanted to--along with his other awesome cars.
Myself. First because I'm awesome, and who wouldn't want to be me? Second because then I could pawn off all my stupid problems on myself, and then I wouldn't have to deal with them. It's the simple things that make life awesome.
Right now, The Rock. I would be rich and man pretty. All of the ladies would want to engage in polite conversation with me. Or, one of my sons in 11 years. If for no other reason than the whole if I could do it all over again aspect. Plus I have a spare so mind controlling my kid wouldn't be that bad.
