choose your own adventure

Thrilled by the prospect of making first contact with extraterrestrial life, you and your girlfriend become rather randy as you wait for Cook-Bot's signal to be noticed by aliens. In no time at all, she's wearing only skimpy white underwear, and you're only in your boxer shorts and trusty aviator sunglasses.

Suddenly, your totally awesome grope-session is interrupted by a beam of blood-red light. Looking up, you realize it is coming from the door of a UFO—which has landed silently nearby!

Your girlfriend screams as hordes of creepy blue-skinned aliens pour from the metallic disc.

"Glurk glick clom dlurm!" shouts the nearest alien, brandishing a threatening-looking silver rod in your direction.

"Yeah, sure," you reply. "Say, do you guys know where I might find a saber-toothed tiger heart? Or do you guys have a time machine or something?"

"GLURK GLICK CLOM DLURM!" shouts the increasingly irate alien leader. Suddenly, the rod's tip begins to glow a menacing green.

"Noooo!" shouts your girlfriend, who grabs Cook-Bot and pushes him in front of the green laser beam. Reflecting off of his chrome exterior, the laser beam strikes down all of the aliens—but not without taking its toll on Cook-Bot, whose wired innards are exposed and sparking. Smoke drifts from his charred metallic torso.

"Cook-Bot! You saved the whole human race!" shouts your girlfriend.

"Dude, they might've known where a saber-toothed tiger heart was," you say. "Thanks for fucking everything up, you glorified toaster."

"It's a far, far better thing that I do than I have ever done. It's a far, far better rest I go to than I have ever knooowwwwnnnnnnnn," says Cook-Bot. With a final electronic sigh, he dies.

Your girlfriend rushes into your arms, weeping.

"Well, I didn't get the heart," you think to yourself, comforting her. "So that's done with. But at least my girlfriend saved my life by pushing Cook-Bot in front of that death-ray... OR DID SHE?!"

If you think your girlfriend saved your life, you'll want to reward her. But what should you get her? Well, if there's one thing this crazy adventure has taught you, it's that diamonds are a girl's best friend! Click here.

If you think your girlfriend fucked everything up by killing the aliens, who totally might have (probably not, but maybe) known how to get a saber-toothed tiger heart or something, click here.

"You totally fucked shit up! Those aliens were totally going to help me! Maybe!"

"What're you talking about?" asks your girlfriend. "They were going to kill you. What would they even know about a saber-toothed tiger heart anyway? That's the worst idea I've ever heard. You always make the wrong choices. We're through, you ungrateful prick!"

Decades later, you rue this moment, when instead of thanking your girlfriend for saving the entire human race, you blamed her for ruining your chance to help a drunk old fuck save his pet saber-toothed tiger. Or something. You can't really remember in your Alzheimer's-stricken state. Penniless, emaciated, and with only your aviator glasses to your name, you die alone. In an alley. Naked.
