You awake to find yourself on a new planet (where the environment is safe for you..think of it similar to Earth's) in the middle of what seems to be a reasonably populated city (the creatures are about 10feet tall on average..and seemingly weight, on average, about 250lbs). What do you do?

Well, pardner, I do the same thing I do every morn'. I holster my 6 gigawatt laser, pound back some synthetic beans and coffee, and grab my hat. Stepping down from my ship, I glare back at the foreign sun, basking in its exotic rays. Everyday brings a new sun, so is each day, a first day? Do I begin a new existence with each new star, and lose my old self as I flee before the setting sun? Perhaps a stable life would allow me to think, to realize the magnitude of the horror that is my existence. This surrounding town bustles with life. Huge, towering creatures who have only begun to comprehend my presence.

The builders of this town.Of all the hundreds- no, thousands- of towns I have visited these past years (but what's a year?). Oh god, do those at home even know they build towns? That they sing upon my arrival, that they have learned our language, that they plead for mercy? No. To the teeming trillions at home, they're just 200 pounds of meat. Freeze dried and stamped "Grade AA"- pure free range goodness. I pull a kerchief over my face.

I fire a 1 second burst into the sky, the surrounding air bursting into flame as the laser converts the atmosphere to plasma. The creatures stop singing. I point at my ship, a tremendous transport vessel already containing 50 million living beings. The creatures slowly board without struggle or stampede. Some beg, some cry, some scream obscenities into my mind. And some know who (or what) I really am. Some, well, some just call me a space cowboy.

10 ft tall weighing 250, are they also blue, have cat eyes, prehensile tail, and nerve endings in their ponytail?

In which case I would mine some unobtanium

Put me in Sim City 4 so I can create vast amounts of cities and live in my creations. Sounds much better than real life.

I would like to be a character on That 70's Show. I could basically do whatever I wanted without real consequences, I'd get to live in a simpler time, and people I couldn't even see would laugh every time I said something funny. Finally, some recognition.

I'd put myself into any of Tool's music videos just to figure out what the hell was going on.

Well..looks like I shall do the good old pang act of taking over a thread. When Ernie brought this back to life, it was supposed to be mostly just him and myself (with a little bit of Sal) posting situations..but now he left again D=<

Anyways. A situation

Here's the Situation...you wake up to find that no one remembers you, spare for one person..who just so happens to despise you. (since this is a hypothetical situation, we shall assume that whatever he/she tells people, they will believe). This person makes a deal with you..you can pick 5 things for him to tell people about yourself (3 must be true, however, while the other 2 can be made-up), but everything else he/she shall make-up as so desired.

What 5 things shall you tell he/she to tell everyone?

(yeah..making there be a tiny bit of thought)
