The Daily Post today posed this question:
Tell us about something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail (and tell us why you havenโt tried it yet).
I would knock on Johnny Depp’s front door and when he answered it (dressed only in a white bathrobe) I would ask to come in. He would, of course, say, “Of course,” and I would follow him to his living room where he would prepare us each a glass of absinthe. We would then proceed to discuss how much he would pay me to allow him to play the lead in my novel-turned-movie which would in turn guarantee that I would be the richest woman in Canada. Why?
Because there are nude scenes in my novel. Of course.
Why haven’t I tried this yet? Only because I’m not finished the final edit…
Dear Miss Izzy, I shall be first in line to see this movie as I love Johnny Deep also. The thought of seeing a nude Johnny Deep would also be an attraction.
Get editing….
Oh of course a naked Miss Izzy would also ensure a potential Oscar I am sure….

Hahaha! It’s more likely to ensure the audience is made up exclusively of crickets.
But I shall, nevertheless, get editing, Sir Michael. Thank you so much for your continued encouragement. ๐

Baaa humbug. Let’s make a deal. You keep imagining I’m worthy of an Oscar-winning performance and I’ll take care of the meat.
I actually made myself laugh.

Ok. I’ll be watching the Oscars and when you step up to collect your award I’ll jump out of my seat applauding your success. Meanwhile best put the meat in a slow cooker.

Better the slow cooker than the freezer I suppose.

This is going to sound lame. But if I knew I couldn’t fail/lose, I would just go and buy myself a lottery ticket. ๐

I figure if I had 50 million dollars, it wouldn’t matter if I tried something and failed – so I could go out and do something more awesome!

Hmm good call. What if I just make sure we fly a golden aircraft over my giant pit filled with money and pillows stuffed with award-winning goose feathers?

That’ll work! Guaranteed!

Loved your post. I’ll definitely tune in for Oscar night.
There’s something to be said for risk, however. The no-guarantee is a bit of an adrenaline rush. Still, a promise of no failure, I’d skydive.

That was my second choice. ๐
