So when I stumbled upon a Boing Boing post about a real-life choose your own adventure game using sidewalk stencils it was almost enough reason for me to hop a plane to San Fran to check it out:
It's a love story with 2 characters who start in different locations. His story starts at 16th and Valencia, in front of the Crown Hotel / Limon Restaurant with the text "He Leaves his Lonely Apartment." Her story starts at 21st and Guerrero in front of a stunning mansion with the text, "She Leaves her Lonely Apartment." Eventually their paths merge, at the point where they meet, and their paths travel together until drama pulls them apart.
And if I play my stencils right, I just might meet the man of my dreams instead of meeting this grisly fate:
Which reminds me of one of my other favorite choose your own adventure books from when I was growing up:
I kid, I kid. So, readers' poll: If I wrote a choose your own adventure book, what should it be about? Person with the best suggestion gets written into the book! Person with the worse suggestion gets written into the book only to die a painful death in every choice! Test your fate and comment away!!!

Hmmm... I think it should be about a guy who starts blogging online, and eventually gets comments from a strange dude, who asks him to jump into his screen. If you choose no, game over, and if you choose yes, you enter a magic world of bloggers where people are manifestations of their imagination.

I think a Sexth Sense Choose Your Own Ghost Pr0n is in order.
