Please feel free to replace F***, Marry, and Kill with Kiss, Marry, and Avoid or any words that work for you. Or feel free to uncensor the F*** part. It’s your space! Express yourself!

1. Knitting, photography, flower arranging: which do you f***, which do you marry, and which do you kill?
2. A walk on the beach, a cup of coffee at a sidewalk cafe, a movie by yourself in a cinema half full: which do you f***, which do you marry, and which do you kill?
3. Hot sauce, soy sauce, ketchup: which do you f***, which do you marry, and which do you kill?
4. Polka music, reggae music, death metal music: which do you f***, which do you marry, and which do you kill?
5. Murder mysteries, romantic comedies, psycho-thrillers: which do you f***, which do you marry, and which do you kill?

I could play this game all night, so let me know what you think of the format. If it’s popular, we’ll do it again sometime. If you hate it, maybe not!

Thanks for participating, and have a hot, steamy, fiery, passion-filled weekend!
