if you were cloned...

I resisted the temptation of posting this the last time I saw this thread, but alright, you twisted my arm.

Spoiler: Spoiler: Rumor has it that Isaac Asimov wrote this (Sung to Home On The Range) - NSFW

O give me a clone of my own flesh and bone,
With its Y chromosome changed to X.
And when it is grown, then my own little clone
Will be of the opposite sex.

Chorus:
Clone, clone of my own,
With its Y chromosome changed to X
And when I'm alone with my own little clone
We'll both think of nothing but sex.

O give me a clone, hear my sorrowful moan,
Just a clone that is wholly my own.
And if it's an X of the feminine sex,
Oh what fun we will have when we're prone.

(Chorus)

My heart's not of stone, as I've frequently shown
When alone with my dear little X
And after we've dined, I am sure we will find
Better incest than Oedipus Rex.

(Chorus)

Why should such sex vex, or disturb or perplex.
Or induce a disparaging tone?
After all, don't you see, since we're both of us me.
When we're making love, I'm alone.

(Chorus)

And after I'm done, she will still have her fun,
For I'll clone myself twice ere I die.
And this time without fail, they'll be both of them male,
And they'll each ravish her by-and-by.

Though, really, that'd be pretty depraved. Sure, there is a scientifically recognized source of attractiveness among similar genetics [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_sexual_attraction#Contributing_factors]... but I don't think I'd be able to look at myself in the morning. (At least you couldn't make your clone pregnant, on account of how clones are infertile.)

Probably, but it would be creepy.

 

[Verex]

That's when I take out my hatchet for special emergencies.

so escapist,
if you were cloned, could you be friends with yourself?

i couldn't, i would just confuse myself all the time, like how i normally confuse others (unintentional).

I would. I might try and experiment with myself though. I always wonder what it feels like when I do something to someone else, how they might see me. If there was an exact copy of me, I would start finding all these things out. xD

Like telling your clone to do something, then seeing how everyone reacted?

As for me, I don't see why not. We could take each other's place every so often to confuse people. Plus, I could finally be in 2 places at once!

 

[Argyshmargy]

Probably not.. Im just too lazy to get along with a second me. I'd have to half my gameplay time too :\. But we could get two mowers and mow the yard twice as fast!

 

[Revolutionary]

I'd exile him to siberia so as to avoid confusion.

 

[Snork Maiden]

I'd absolutely have sex with myself. In theory, since I know what I want, it would be the best sex ever.

Haha to not being able to look at yourself in the morning. I can just imagine the awkward conversation over toast in the morning, not looking each other in the eye.
