heaven vs. hell

my old college roommates and i would sometimes play a game in which we described what heaven/hell would be like, in non-traditional ideations. for example: in hell, we'll have to wait in 45-minute wal-mart lines to purchase a pack of gum, and once we buy the gum, we'll realize it's the wrong kind and have to wait in another hour-long line to return it, and the cycle repeats times infinity with the number of hurried, cart-smashing shoppers increasing as the years go by. or, hell will be full of wallpapered rooms, in which you will spend the eternities peeling off one sq-cm shred at a time.

but, in heaven, i'm pretty sure that we'll have an idea for a delicious dinner by 10 a.m., we'll have all the ingredients on-hand, and by 11:30 it will be in the crock pot, to be ready for the 5:30 p.m. "viola" dinner moment. today i'm in heaven.

anyone else want to play?
