What if…
Hey, we all spend some of our best times in fantasyland. So how would you answer these questions? What if . . .
…you had a pet gargoyle named Bitsy whose one desire was to sing at the Met?
…you worked for a mad scientist who was trying to bring a dead dude back to life, but you accidentally spilled your cappuccino into the rejuvenation juice?
…your hair was long enough that if you stood at the top of a tall tower you could throw it out the window and let a handsome prince climb all the way up to rescue you–only he has muddy shoes and you shudder at the sight of dirt?
…your house could fly?
Can’t wait to hear your answers!

The fact that I had a pet gargoyle would totally make me so giddy with joy I wouldn’t care what they wanted to do. (But a gargoyle has to have a ‘G’ name! *Sandman reference*)
I’d half expect the rejuvenation juice to already contain a little kick of caffeine, it shouldn’t matter if there’s a bit more. And if there isn’t… well, there should be.
I’d ask him to climb up barefoot. Or at least socked.
Flying house? I’d much rather fly myself.
Although, I do tend to not use things once I get them. So I’d just live in it.

:O That would be the BEST! I’ve never thought about having a pet gargoyle before but now you’ve mentioned it I would sooooo love one! And if he wants to sing, he shall sing. I could sell gargoyle merchandise on eBay and earn enough to bribe someone into letting him sing.
If I spilled my cappuccino into the juice, I’d drink it myself. No way would I let that caffeine goodness go to waste. Then I’d blame the lack of juice on the gargoyle.
I’d get all grandma on him and make him take his shoes off. Grubby boy…
And if my house suddenly started flying I have the biggest freakout. A bit of screaming, a couple of phonecalls to best friends but I’d be lovin’ every minute of it.
Very nice what-ifs Jen. No way I’d be able to think of them.

An opera singing gargoyle… Why not? I’d help Bitsy to achieve her dreams, because, with enough willpower, you can do almost everything!
Spilling my capuccino shouldn’t be a problem. Chocolate for sweetness, caffeine for energy, and sugar for a sweet smile. Most great discoveries were made by accident…
I’d tell him to clean his shoes and take the ladder. Ladders are standard equipment for rescuing princesses in towers. It’s not my fault if he isn’t prepared.
If my house could fly… You mean, I could make holidays on Fiji island, without leaving my books behind? Great!

Would be tres chic, however I’d be a bit worried and have to check that ol Bitsy could sing and wasn’t self deluded. (Im talking X-Factor here.) If Bitsy passed the “Cowell” grade, then sneak ol Bitsy into the place (Im a gargoyle repair person (see I have the jumpsuit and everything!) and then put ol Bitsy so that she could sing to her hearts content.
Work for a mad scientist? Me? No I am the mad scientist, you think this hairdo comes naturally, you have to book weeks in advance with Maurice of Igor. LOL Anyway back on subject, I wouldn’t worry too much about the capachino, hey all good monsters need a jolt of caffine to help calm them, have you seen how bad “norms” are without it?
Errmmm, I’d lower it, let the prince climb a good distance up and then cut the damn thing and laugh at his broken legs. However I suppose I can assume you mean a princess for me, which I’m hoping would be a lightweight alternative, armour would also be banned, which whilst the hair would be climbable (strength wise at least) I wouldn’t be enough of an anchor. I suppose I’d throw down a key and demand that she used the damn door like any normal person. LOL
Hell, if my house could fly that would be pretty sweet, all the book signing’s I could attend. Distance no object, woohhoo.

As long as l’il Bitsy didn’t get delusions of gangue, I’d even give her the travel money and her usual amount of pocket…not forgetting to top up her mobile phone encase she gets stuck…who am I to squash her dreams or her little heart.
Working for a mad scientist…COOL, but I think if my coffee ended up in the mix, I might just sit back and watch the fireworks, after all I doubt ‘m getting paid that much, after all. I could always lure the dead dude into killing the mad scientists; I could then enslave the dead dude and go for world domination…Mmmmmmmmm
Said Handsome Prince, isn’t climbing up my hair, I’d tell him to build a ladder. I hate split ends at the best of times, presides as long as my book collections at the top of the tower with me, and I have access to the internet to buy more books, I’d be quite happy to stay there, and I’d wait for the prince to grow a clue and think of a better idea, then using me a drain pipe! Presides, can’t I just wait for Superman he could fly up and rescue me.
If my house could fly, I’d move myself off my street…ASAP!

Excellent solution on the Rapunzel problem, Chloe!
LOL, Bec! If you’re not American yet, you should be!!
Hilarious, Tanja! Clearly your hero had better be smart as well as prepared!
LMAO, Gareth!! Yup, I meant princess for you and all dudes who tune in here, of course. Love every one of your answers!
LOL! Remind me to stay on your good side, ‘kay, Emma?
September 14th, 2009 at 8:38 am
This should be fun
For my darling pet gargoyle Bitsy, I’d be there every night to hear him sing and I’d help pay for lessons. I really want a pet gargoyle now.
Um…I don’t like coffee…so I would have been getting the coffee for him…so it would be his damn fault he couldn’t be bothered to get his own coffee and there is no point balming me. Boom.
No-one is climbing up my hair. Muddy boots or not. Plus surely he’d get more grip if he was barefoot so he could utilise his toes…sorted.
Whoa. I’m afraid of heights. Damn.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:26 am
Bitsy can sing as much as she likes … as long as I have earplugs (gargoyles are not renowned for their amazing voices).
Warn the mad scientist not to continue (I just read Frankenstein). Pour loads of sedatives in to cancel out the caffeine because as he is mad he will probably ignore me anyway.
Shoes stay at bottom of tower, gorgeous prince would come up to me. Never mind climbing, I would be dragging him up
If my house could fly then I would not be here writing this, I would be off exploring a far distant country such as Peru.
September 14th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
dude if my gargoyle wanted to sing at the Met i would do everything i cud 2 get him ther!
happy gargoyle!
i would leave the revitalisation juice just to see what would happen to the dude he was tryin 2 bring back… or i might drink it myself – i probably really needed the cappuccino!
do you know how long it takes to grow hair? or how heavy a guy really is? hah! ther would be no way id let him climb up that tower while pulling my hair basically out of my head. besides im a “cut of your hair, make a rope and find your own damn way down” kind of girl
if my house could fly i would sleep on the moon, spend breakfast time in france, lunch in rome, and dinner in america.
September 14th, 2009 at 1:22 pm
I love the gargoyle!!!! That is so cute!!!
And if I spilled my cappuccino into the rejuvenation juice to bring the dead dude back to life, even better! That Mad scientist should have learned his lesson from Frankenstein!!!
If the prince was handsome enough, I don’t care how much of a mud/dirt-a-phobe I would be–he could climb all the way up my hair from China!!!
If my house could fly, I’d be able to go wherever I want–like New Zealand and all of the things that I miss from my home when I’m away would be right there!!! That would make me so excited!!!
September 14th, 2009 at 1:51 pm
I would likely quite my job to become Bitsy’s manager and help rake in the cash a singing gargoyle would make.
Which would save me from getting fired from my last job when the mad scientist couldn’t control his now ADHD dead dude. A small side effect from the cappuccino.
If I was crazy enough to let some guy use my hair as his rope and he had the audacity to muddy up my nice clean floors I’d just sicc Bitsy on him, then fly off in my house to meetings around Bitsy’s up coming Met concert and then further tours around the world. Pretty convenient for us that Bitsy and I have a home to fly around in instead of the inconvient airplanes and all their stupid rules and fees. Think of all the money we’ll save on travel arrangements alone!
I’m loving this life!
September 14th, 2009 at 1:52 pm
Ohhh I really want a pet gargoyle now, I would break into the met and sneak Bitsy in and then just before a show is about to start she can start singing and wow everyone with her amazing talent.
Isnt caffene energy giving problem solved its probably why bringing the dead dude back to life wasnt working I would be part of history like einstein and be totally famous, before I gave into my evil streak and took over the world. Waste of a cappuccino though.
First things first there is no way anyone is using my hair as a rope what a good way to ruin it. i would possibly plait it and slip the key into the plait and lower it down so he can use the door, either that or tell him to go away untill he learns to wash and build a ladder.
ooh flying house i would be able to travel! hello america and book signings with maybe a side trip to the european countries and south africa
September 14th, 2009 at 5:52 pm
that would be very interesting to have a pet gargoyle that can sing! oh the fun we can have!!~
oops. I didn’t do it. Must have been my ghost friend, Bob. He loves getting into mischief.
ouch, that must hurt letting a heavy guy climb up my hair. I rather make a sheet rope and tell him to climb that instead, as long as he takes a shower so he doesn’t stain the super white clean sheets.
If my house could fly, I would seriously go everywhere! No more worrying about plane prices anymore. Its all for free now! and the bonus is that I no longer have to pack and unpack my belongings and will never forget anything.
September 14th, 2009 at 6:31 pm
Bitsy could sing at the Met and I’d do the lights – maybe people wouldn’t notice it was a gargoyle singing.
Depends on who he was trying to bring back…. maybe I’d help
hmm…. well, you know my hair would be muddy, and he’d be muddy, well… baths are nice
and then I’d make him help me DRY all that hair – see if he really was the prince he was pretending to be.
Flying house … hmm… could we make sure the plumbing still works too please??? I REALLY wouldn’t want to be without running water. But it’d be interesting, especially considering the clearances we’d need in US airspace now.
September 15th, 2009 at 5:50 am
I kinda want a pet gargoyle too, Sapphire. Where do we sign up?
Love your answers, Emily. Plus, you can be the sidekick to my mad science experiments any time!
Now you, Eimear, know how to travel. I’m in!
Because mud will wash right out, right Melanie?
LOL, Jenna. Nice take on your role in Bitsy’s future!
Clever plan with the key, Carly. I detect spy potential there!
Well, he’s kind of a slob, Kerri. But nice. So…
Wow, those are going to have to be some tricky lights! Do you know any brilliant makeup artists as well, Tori?
September 15th, 2009 at 7:42 am
Yep! I’m not one of them though – I’m having a great day if I can get eyeliner on let alone looking decent.
September 15th, 2009 at 7:47 am
Brave girl! If I tried to do eyeliner I would blind myself!
September 15th, 2009 at 9:46 am
If I had a pet gargoyle that could sing — Bisty would be all over YouTube and Carnegie Hall and the Met would be vying to which would have the first shot at her. Then Bitsy would be able to get a new castle to hang out in and maybe have statues of her favorite humans making scary faces all on the outside.
Mad Scientist and my coffee — no way — I don’t spill my only daily cup of joe for anyone!
As for the prince trying to make his way up my head of hair — he better have the most ginormous diamond ring for me if he’s going to mess up my hair and my house with his muddy feet!!
And if my house could fly, I wouldn’t be stuck at the same desk, every day would be a new adventure!
September 15th, 2009 at 1:17 pm
… I’d let him audition for some musical like Notre Dame de Paris. You know, like the talking/singing gargoyles from the Disney cartoon.
… Er, I’m thinking scary mad guy here, kinda like dr. Frankenstein, so I don’t know if I’d like to work for him at all. If I had to work for him, I’d try to tell him he should remake the rejuvenation juice. Maybe I’d claim I checked the formula and found an error, so I wouldn’t have to tell about the cappuccino. I think I’d be pretty scared of his reaction otherwise. Anyway, please no caffeine-full monsters!
… *sqeaky voice* Huff! Fairy tale princes never had muddy boots!
And if he’s supposed to win my love, he’d better start thinking and get himself a ladder, not yank my hair off its roots!
… Cool, I could be anywhere and have all my things with me!
Wait, on second thoughts, that’d mean my parents’d be constantly with me, too. Not so great.
September 16th, 2009 at 8:41 am
Joann’s coffee is sacred. Got it!
Ooh, I never considered sticking your parents in your flying house, Vale. We may have to float something smaller. Your bicycle?
September 16th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
Mmmhh… It wouldn’t have enough place for my books… What about we make just the top part of the apartment detachable from the rest and able top float? That’s my room and bathroom, he he.
September 16th, 2009 at 1:21 pm
Er, I meant able TO float. Sorry.
September 16th, 2009 at 7:14 pm
A singing gargoyle, yes please. I would get Bitsy on stage as a piece of scenary and then let her wow everyone.
The fruitfly guys have a gene named cappacinio so I’m sure it would be that one, all in the name of mad science [cue evil laugh]
If hes going to take the obvious route of climbing the hair I’m not interested, a little more creativity please.
Flying house would be neat, though could be a little hairy in our winds. Don’t have to worry about our airspace though as the fighter jets are all mothballed.
September 17th, 2009 at 7:55 am
Good thinking, Vale. I’d never deprive anyone (especially myself!) of the bathroom!
Altogether now, Penny…mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!!
September 17th, 2009 at 11:18 am
A singing pet gargoyle could be a lot of fun, I like to think I would take him to the Met on Opera night and let him sing his little lungs out…are we talking little gargoyle? Like one I could tote around like a falcon or one Goliath sized that could fly around carrying me? Because if he’s that big he may have to tote me to the Met. heh heh.
I would whistle innocently and wander off to check some readings…after snagging the cappuccino that I probably had to get for my mad scientist boss. They rarely need a caffeine rush.
I would tell him that he would get a better grip if he took his shoes off, he’d get a better grip on my hair without them! Or tell him to come up the stairs like every one else
A flying house would be cool, but not as cool as a house that cleaned itself!
September 21st, 2009 at 6:43 am
Go Bitsy sing your heart out. Just make sure you wear a disguise so they don’t freak out that a gargoyle is singing. I don’t think the worlds ready for it and no offense to the church but I don’t have time to listen to you calling my pet a creature a demon from the pits of hell! Again sorry I watch far to much tv.
I’d bet the boss ten bucks that his experiment would be like a hyper two year old then later I’d tell him his rejuvenation juice waqs fine and that it was hyper because I spilt coffee on the juice.
Once he had gotten me out of that dang tower I would wash my hair in the closest source of clean water and tell him to buy new shoes.
I’d move somewhere more sunny with better book stores. Better meaning BIGGER.
