Choose Your Own Adventure. Hilarity Ensues.

You know those ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ books? Sort of like interactive novels where you can choose where the story takes you? Yes? Then skip everything below this neatly dotted line.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

If you don’t know what I’m talking about,

WELL NOW YOU CAN EXPERIENCE WHAT YOU NEVER EXPERIENCED IN A WHOLE NEW EXCITING WAY!

For those unfamiliar, usually you have a book where the reading stops at some points and you have a multiple choice question to answer.

Say, like this:

You’re walking down the street to an ice cream parlour your friend recommended to you last week. Strange how you remembered such a note, as you seem to keep forgetting to feed your starving budgie and cleaning up your bathroom. You shrug off those thoughts and continue down the street towards the bright, swirling white sign shaped like soft-serve.

Once you get in there, your shoulders seem to sulk at spotting three leather-wearing, ripped-jean sporting, pierced faced punks devouring several ice cream cones at once. You give a slight stare until they notice, and head to the counter. Will you:

1) Order a medium cone of vanilla soft-serve? Go to pg. 20

2) Ask the three punks to share a seat with them and discuss the how they’re recovering financially from the recession? Go to pg. 78

3) Turn around swiftly, pull out your halberd, and slaughter the scumbags of society that are seated directly behind you? Go to Prison

…yeah. Pretty much along those lines.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyways, once you find that kind of stuff boring, there’s really nowhere to go from there. No more adventures. Well guess what, folks? We’re in luck.

It’s ‘Choose You’re Own Adventure: IRL!’
