actual conversation

me: which would you rather have: something made of mithril or adamantium?

shobi: [blank look] what?

me: they're both fictitious metals, so which one would you rather have?

shobi: ...well they'd both be expensive so--wait. THIS is what you think about?

me: yes.

shobi: i'm sad for you.

Poll what. it's a perfectly logical questionOpen to: all, results viewable to: all

mithril

adamantium

[rain_1975]

first of all very tricky questions.

second, i must say, i chose adamantium and i think you know why. having an indestructible skeleton is one of my wildest wishes, of course if i could pair it with regeneration mutant powers that'd be perfect. yes, i wanna be wolverine.

that said, mithril is, hands down, the most beautiful, shiny, precious metal in the entire known universe. so. adamantium on my skeleton and mithril all over me in various forms, jewels, chain mail shirt, whatever. even irregular chunks would be awesome.

xoxoxo

p.s. shobi

[rain_1975]

it makes me sad that shobi doesn't have/understand/need our beautiful worlds, i'm sure he would be happier if he'd know them.

but, don't worry, you have many people (the entire internet population) who understand that ^_^

p.p.s. i'm invading your journal

anto said mithril.

he wants to be frodo.

It would really depend what I will use the metal for, but my knee-jerk reaction is to say Mithril. It's lighter, more malleable and prettier to boot. :-) But if I were in combat, I guess the adamantium would probably be more handy. Hehe.

I posed this question to my husband and our ensuing conversation really drives home how well I chose my life partner. Hahaha. We even got into Vibranium (Capt America's shield) vs Adamantium, etc and it was a happy and long debate. Hehe. :-)

Hi!

I saw this post while compiling the CM newsletter (since you're on the bau_watch watch list) and I just had to fill out the poll. I totally agree with the person who said this was the best poll ever. :D
