If You Were Given the Chance to Leave Earth, Would You?

Yeah, you could get a Pan Galactic Gargle Buster! Its supposed to be the liquid equivalent of being hit in the head with a brick.

Sorry, it's the equivalent of getting your brains smashed out with a gold brick, wrapped with a twist of lemon.

Given the chance to leave earth
for the deepness of space,
I would tarry none
and go with grace.

Looking out to the unknown
leaving security behind,
the decision I made
was truly mine.

I might miss my freinds
and all their good cheer'
but most of all
I'd miss the steaks and beer.

The only outposts around
are lightyears away,
I'd hope to see 'yall
when you came my way.

I must go for now
and do not feel sad,
as you may expect
I've gone quite mad.

Close your eyes and
and follow the stars,
look out Venus
'cause I'm going to Mars.

Since my poetic capabilities aren't so great,
No One Lives Forever (by Oingo Boingo) is what you'll get

"You worry too much / You make yourself sad
You can't change fate / But don't feel so bad
Enjoy it while you can / It's just like the weather
So quit complaining brother . . . . . . .
No one lives forever!!

Let's have a party there's a full moon in the sky
It's the hour of the wolf and I don't want to die

I'm so happy dancing while the grim reaper
cuts, cuts, cuts
But he can't get me (I'm as)
Clever as can be, and I'm very quick, but don't forget
No one lives forever!!!

You think you got it rough / What about your darling doggy?
Ten short years / And he's getting old and groggy
I don't think it's very fair
Cold, chop, low, but it's all relative my friend 'cause
No one lives forever!!!
Let's have a party there's a full moon in the sky
It's the hour of the wolf and I
Don't want to die (but) . . .

No one beats him at his game
For very long but just the same
Who cares, there's no place safe to hide
Nowhere to run--no time to cry
So celebrate while you still can
'Cause any second it may end.
And when it's all been said and done . . .
Better that you had some fun
Instead of hiding in a shell-Why make your life a living hell?
So have a toast, and down the cup
And drink to bones that turn to dust ('cause) . . .
No one, no one, no one, no one . . . . . . . (etc.)
No one lives forever!! (Hey!)"

Nice to know someone knows where their towel is.

I answer to the question that headed this thread... (I didn't need to read the post)

For the umpteenth time YES!!! Of course I would. A lifetime pursuing excitement, adventure and really wild things sounds like just what I need. Unfortunately NASA and the Kremlin remain opposed to my wanderlust. I have no friends at these places and no device for signalling nearby spaceships. If someone could assist by providing a detailed set of instructions for the constuction of an electronic thumb then I would be much obliged and will think of you kindly whilst breathyng the heady odours of the seas of Santraginus V, sipping at a glass of that 'Ole Janx Spirit' and having lotion of Qualactin rubbed into my skin by an attractive female alien.

Aye aye, I'll drink to that lad here here

Mmm, Ol' Janx.

I also trust that anyone I love would consider me crazy to NOT jump at the opportunity.

I accidentally stumbled upon this old thread, and decided to give it some more twists:

First off, you can bring another person along for the ride. I doubt anyone you could ask would pass up an opprotunity like this. So think of who you would take with. Also, where are some of the places you want to visit?

I'd head over to Titan first, then make my way over to the Orion, Eagle, and Helix nebulae. After that I'd find a nice planet to live on, maybe an advanced metropolis planet, or maybe even a peaceful planet without sentient beings. Depends on which I like better when I get there.

yes!!!

at least mars...

Window seat please.
Just Cary on luggage today thanks.
Mars or Saturn not too fussed.

Not until I see earths spiritual evolution take place.This alone will be enough for the time being nothing more but mankind unraveling his past present and future events that remain a mystery.Mankind finding out how to transcend space and time.

I would stand and wave you all goodbye, then turn, hoist on my backpack and enter the forest, emptied of humans, with regenerating flora and fauna.

I don't think I could spend the rest of my life without feeling the sun on my back, or walking on grass, or drinking fresh water, or smelling the natural scents on the breeze ....

Yes because I don't like this planet.

If I got a 3 day trial for $3.95

On a more serious note...

I would, with ease. My life is horrible right now and would love to change it. I would also love to explore and see what is farther than our galaxy. There has to be something out there.

IF I would have had the choice, whether or not to come to Earth, I would have passed on a visit.

I am certain this place is the 'skid row" of the Universe ...

~peace

Earth will be a lot nicer when everyone leaves though, so I'll take my chances "through thick or thin" as it were,

the devil I know over the devil I don't.

I 'll be glad to see y'all go, though, if its any encouragement/consolation.

And if a clever demon was willing to appear as humans believe 'aliens' to appear, well, he would have some very willing passengers now wouldn't he. And what would be the destination then, do you reckon?

Absolutely I would, I would take the risk. But only if the "beings" could speak english or be able to communicate in some way. The mystery of the universe drives me crazy, I just need to know!

As far as not having a member of the opposite sex come along.....who knows what other 'humans' are out there. IMHO there are other 'humans' out amongst the cosmos, plus with the alien technology ones life expectancy would probably be greatly lengthened. The opportunity to the the galaxy and report for the most read, most important guide in the galaxy would just be too great to pass up.

I don't need anyone else with me. I will be fine by myself like I want to be.

I would, only as long as my girl could join too!

It'd be lonely without human company, don't you think?
