If you could trade places for a day (or week) with anyone on Fluther, who would it be and why?

Asked by marissa (2675points) September 3rd, 2010

There are many wonderful and interesting people here on Fluther with a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. Is there anyone whose shoes you’d like to walk in for awhile, not forever, just for a bit? You can name more than one person, but please tell us why for each person you choose. Thank you!

@jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities while he was in Alaska, because I would love to reexperience wilderness Alaska once again.

I’d be tempted to trade places with a moderator to see what that activity actually entails here on Fluther.

Bippee. I would love to see her life and New Jersey.

This made me think – I’d want to know what Lapilofu’s life is like as well as what arisztid’s life is like.

bippee's avatar

Hmmm, tough one. So many options. I’m going to say, Randy http://www.fluther.com/users/Randy/ because he’s a rocker and has lots of tattoos. Bet he has a lot of fun!

I’d love to be Dr. J for a day. Sitting up in that logo looks like fun.

bippee's avatar

@Frenchfry , Aw you are so sweet! I just experienced Florida in August so that is why I didn’t choose you! Ugh the heat!!!

MacBean's avatar

Hm… Probably either blondesjon (to see if I could figure him out more, and because his wife freakin’ rocks), IBERnineD (to see what it’s like to be that goddamn cute), or one of augustlan’s kids (because I miss school and a week of high school might be fun, and because THEIR MOM IS AWESOME).

janbb's avatar

Darn it, @marinelife, we really must share the same brain. I would also like to be @jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities to be on his Alaska trip. Another choice would be @rooytoo to see what life is like in the country in Australia, or @rebbel to live in Holland, be a cool dude and be 6 foot 5!

marissa's avatar

I’m enjoying the answers….I hope you all enjoying answering :0)

OpryLeigh's avatar

@Coloma sounds like she has a wonderful life. Plus, I like the idea of having geese

janbb's avatar

(I might have also wanted to be @Austinlad and know everything about movies but he got so old and ugly in his latest incarnation. :-) )

I would probably choose an overseas Jelly just to get out of town for a week as see the sights! I have always wanted to dive the great barrier reef but don’t relish the thought of a 25 hour flight!

gailcalled

I’d love to spend time at her place and teach Milo some manners.

liminal's avatar

@Syz and her travel and big cat days.

Your_Majesty's avatar

Our very own manager,AugustIan. I would like to experience how to live as an authority here.

faye's avatar

@shililo- I’d love his medical knowledge, @zen because I’d love to have sex as a man and he’s got a girl, @coloma because of her attitude and where she lives, @janbb because her life sounds satisfying, @jleslie because I like her posts, @trillian for her kickass attitude. ACtually I’d like to be everybody for a day .

wundayatta's avatar

We haven’t seen her in ages, but I’d love to be Tits McGhee for a day. You know I would make the most of it! ;-)

Neizvestnaya's avatar

@Dr_C when he was out of the country working.

downtide's avatar

I think I’d like to trade with @Hawaii_Jake for a week. Because, Hawaii, duh. :) And because he seems like a really nice guy with an interesting life.

JilltheTooth's avatar

I’d like to be @rebbel I think cuz I’d like to be really tall and reach stuff…and oh, yeah, the exotic foreign thing would be cool, too

Allie's avatar

I’d want to be @syz because she gets to work with TIGERS.
I’d want to be @petethepothead because he spends so much time in gorgeous outdoor places.
I’d want to be @shrubbery because she lives in freaking Tasmania.
I’d want to be @PnL just to give the girl a break.
I’d want to be @Les because she’s been to Antarctica to do research and her job sounds awesome.
I’d want to be @Chip because he’s a bear and gets to eat burritos all day.

HungryGuy's avatar

I’d like to trade places with Augustlan and moderate for a week to show than you CAN moderate personal attacks and spam and flame wars and off-topic posts without censoring ideas and personalities, and so end the complaints over censorship here on Fluther.

JilltheTooth's avatar

@HungryGuy : Yeah, you’re obviously a fun guy

HungryGuy's avatar

@Simone_De_Beauvoir and @JilltheTooth – Well, censorship and freedom of speech are things that I have very strong feelings about.

janbb's avatar

One person I would not like to trade with for a day or a week is @augustlan ‘cause hers is a thankless task.

blah_blah's avatar

Allie… Just because I would spend the day klutz proofing her house and deleting her facebook account.

HungryGuy's avatar

@janbb – But it doesn’t have to be a thankless task.

janbb's avatar

@HungryGuy Don’t misunderstand me – I think @augustlan does an absolutely terrifc job and does not get the thanks she well deserves.

casheroo's avatar

which one of you gets to sleep whenever you want? I want to be you. I want to take a nap.
Ohh, and maybe @chels. I love that crazy gal and I bet she’s having the time of her life being in love and in England :P

blah_blah's avatar

@casheroo :: I don’t own an alarm clock. I sleep when I need it.

rangerr's avatar

I’ll take @casheroo‘s place. She has the cutest family ever.

zen_'s avatar

@faye And she’s hot – I mean – 5 orgasms in a row hot. (Her 5, me 1. Hey, I’m a guy.)

This is a very GQ!

I’d like to change places with any of the young men here who live in a Western country – just to see what it’s like to grow up without war – and care about the real things in life, like video games, chocolate bars and pussy. Only. That would be nice.

chels's avatar

@casheroo Aw. I loves you.
I, however, don’t have a creative answer for this question so I shall keep quiet.

jlm11f's avatar

Aww @marissa, what a wonderful Q. Thank you for sharing it with me! At the moment, I would trade places with anyone who’s life involves plenty of napping and limited stress because I need it.

But generally speaking, I would love to trade places with lefteh because he gets to meet all sorts of interesting politicians! Or bythebay, because she happens to live in heaven (I’ve seen plenty of pictures of the scenery from her house etc). Or Harp, because no matter what he’s doing, he always makes it sound like an amazing, intellectual experience.

And @Allie, I’m ready to trade, just tell me when. <4

augustlan's avatar

What a great question! There are so many interesting people here, I’d have a hard time ever getting back to my own life. I would like to trade places with cak, just to let her enjoy a week or so of better health. I know mine isn’t great, but I’m certain it’s better than hers. In the same vein, I’d trade places with Gary/WhatTheFluther, so he could get around easier for a week. He could squeeze in a little more travel, and maybe slow dance with scrowell.

whatthefluther's avatar

I would trade with @cwilbur to experience creating powerful posts that speak volumes concisely with impeccable grammar and spelling.
@augustlan….Thank you. That is very kind of you. I’d take Sherry out for a night on the town with dinner and dancing. And, I’d rent a top of the line Mercedes or Jaguar, and…..I’m driving! And upon returning home…...well, let me put it this way: we’re going to be sleeping in, but there won’t be much sleeping going on.
See ya…...Gary/wtf

rooeytoo's avatar

After attending the luau, I would have to go with @hawaijake also. That place is heavenly!

But to those who want to come to Australia, take a handful of xanax, makes the 14 hour flight from LA to Sydney seem like nothing, then a mere hop of about 6 hours to get up to the reef. It is worth the trip, then you should see Uluru and Devils Marbles and the 12 Apostles and the list goes on and on!

SuperMouse's avatar

JackAdams!

But seriously, I would like to spend one day inside @wundayatta‘s head just to see if it operates as much like mine as I suspect. I would also like to be chyna for a day and hang out with Molly! Finally, I want to be grisaille, what I would give to vaporize people with my coolness! Come back man, I miss you!

kenmc's avatar

I’d like to be Fiddle Playing Creole Bastard because the ladies love him.

ducky_dnl's avatar

I’d be @boots because I want to see how he lives and looks if you know what I mean. Muah Kenny! (:

I’d also be @Ivan because I want to see if he has a boring life like he says he does. Also, he’s gotta kick butt video game collection.

I’d also be @Sarcasm, @Arp, @rangerr. That’s it. (:

mattbrowne's avatar

I’d like to be @zen_ – because he lives in a country that I haven’t visited yet
