Mensagem editada pelo seu autor, Out 14, 2009, 7:56pm.

Coca Cola (I'm an addict, sigh)

Big Band or Blues?

Big Band*

To librarian:
Iʻm a pepsi addict, but not sure I could pass a blindfold test on telling them apart.

* For me, a classic case of "neither/nor", but just maybe: more chance of a lucky hit in the Bib Bandʻs offerings

Sorry, forgot to include a question in #78:

RUSH LIMBAUGH OR KEITH OBERMANN ?

(assuming you HAD to listen to 1/2 hour of
one or the other)

Rush Limbaugh

Death by puppies or kittens?

ew um i'll sit this one out

kittens
(though I hate to see either of them die; I suppose dog mothers, more than cat mothers expect to see all their offspring survive.)

I'm assuming "Death by" means deaths UNDERGONE by puppies or kittens, not deaths caused by them.

WORLD SERIES OR
a REGULAR SEASON NFL Game ?
(If broadcasting one of those would exclude the other)

Mensagem editada pelo seu autor, Out 17, 2009, 5:50pm.

World series, i'd rather watch baseball on t.v. than football on t.v. though i'd much prefer to actually be at the games.

Emeralds or Rubies

#82: I think Espy did mean deaths caused by them. :o) I would have chosen puppies. I've already experienced "death" by kittens. Not as much fun as death by chocolate. :oP

Rubies

Pink Panther diamond or Hope diamond?

To VetaTorres:

Good choice! (#83)

Obviously Iʻm a baseball fan; only a casual observer of NFL and College football.

I didnʻt make it WS vs. Super Bowl, because I thought WS would be swamped by the football fans. ANd because I read a report that over 60% even of acknowledged baseball fans would prefer a reg. season NFL game to a WS game! (Not true, I hope.) Iʻve always been the reverse of that: I shocked a co-worker once by saying "I like baseball a LITTLE better than football. Like, I would rather see a reg. season baseball game that meant nothing in the standings than see the Super Bowl.

Pink Panther Diamond. I'd love to meet Jacques Clouseau.

#82 & 84 I did mean death by the animal hopefully because their combined cuteness caused some sort of total brain shutdown.

John Green or Markus Zusak?

John Green
--because Iʻm told thereʻs "at least 16" of him; that ought to make the probability in favor of 1 of them being better than Zusak, (who is, however, only a name to me.)

You MUST read one or the other of these
within 3 days -- and then pass a test on it:

MILTONʻS Paradise Lost
OR
OʻCALLAGHANʻS History of Medieval Spain

no substitutions allowed!

Paradise Lost.

(And I might have gone with Zusak, but it depends on what I'm in the mood for. I think he has better range than John Green, though I'm fond of both.)

Pumpkin pie or apple pie?

APPLE !

Mince Pie OR Rhubarb Pie ?

Apple! Er... wait... Rhubarb, I think.

Tennis Shoes or Sneakers?

there's a difference? sneakers, specifically Vans

Batman or Superman

Batman, I like my heroes with a bit of moral ambiguity.

Curly Fries or Steak Fries?

B A T ! (which doesnʻt imply any great
attraction to either; I just think Super has
TOO much going for him.)

Putting for an eagle in golf
OR
4 straight aces as a tennis server ?

curly fries, and i have hand eye coordination difficulties lol so i don't know on #93

watching a play or going to a concert (assuming you had to choose)

play!

classical music or jazz?

Classical

-- 96% of the time, anway; the other 4% would be if it was, say, Wagner vs. Buster Bailey

If named "Anthony" or the British "Antony"
--to be called "Tony" or "Ank" ?

People actually named Anthony should abstain from this one and leave it hypothetical, for us non-Anthonys

Mensagem editada pelo seu autor, Out 19, 2009, 1:27am.

i would say Tony, cuz i love Tony on NCIS

Classic mustang or camaro

MUSTANG

(because Iʻd probably be approaching it as a collector, not as a driver, and if itʻs "classic"...)

Long distance phone call
OR
Very long and detailed e-mail

Mustang! (I drive an '03, but would dearly love a '68 or '69!)

Something sweet or something salty?

ohh my dad has a '67 convertable :)

Very long and detailed e-mail & can i have both at the same time... well if i have to choose:sweet

diet soda or regular?

diet -- though I've been drinking less soda lately, trying to avoid the caffeine and artificial sweeteners.

hamburger or hot dog?

Hamburger (And here's my idea of the "perfect" burger: bottom bun, honey-mustard, patty, barbecue sauce, pepperjack cheese, bacon, shredded--not torn--lettuce, chopped--not sliced--onion, pico de gallo, sweet pickle relish, top bun)

In a binder, round rings, or d-shaped rings?

Round

(either because Iʻm old-fashioned, or because I canʻt quite visualize the d-shaped.)

Roast chicken
OR (Hot, in both cases)
Fried chicken?

can i say both? mmm probably roast chicken

Algebra or Geometry?

Geometry

Math or Chemistry?

Math

Physics OR Biology ?

Biology, I suck at physics! They keep changing symbols too much in equations.

guitar hero or rock band?

Rock band

air guitar or lip synch?

Air guitar while lip synching, of course. Don't stop beleivin'! Hold on to the fe-el-i-in! Streetlights, people, oh-woah-woah-oh-oh!

Journey or Styx?

Journey

poker or bridge?

every now and then i like to poker. Afterwards there is often a need to build bridges.

coherence or chaos?

Coherence is nice. So is adherence. If you can't be coherent, at least be adherent.

glue sticks or super glue?

glue sticks, less likely stay stuck if you don't want it too

regular M&M's or Peanut M&M's?

Peanut M & Mʻs

If a new production of Macbeth:

Callista Flockhart OR Angelina Jolie
as Lady Macbeth ?

I love Callista but I think Angelina would fit the part better

I Dream of Jeannie or Bewitched?

I like Jeannie better. She had more fun.

Dr House or Dr Who?

Dr house

Strawberry lollipops or cherry?

Strawberry. Cherry makes me think of medicine.

Money or Luck?

Money

(it would take too long to say why; but Iʻm not downgrading "Luck".)

Shane Victorino OR Alex Rodriguez ?

--on your next yearʻs fantasy team; assume them both to be at their present ages.

I don't know who either of those are...but if I had to chose...Alex Rodriguez. Lol

watch Beauty and the Beast or Mulan (Disney movie version)?

can i pick both... um Mulan

Snow White or Cinderella

Beauty and the Beast, hands down.

Ack, too slow! Cinderella.

Email or texting?

Mensagem editada pelo seu autor, Nov 6, 2009, 10:24pm.

E-mail, I don't have a plan that lets me text for free.

Hamburger or hot dog?

Hamburger
(without any implication of declining the "canes calidi", as we Latinists and scientists call them)

write a 1,800 word paper on Our Mutual Friend (Dickens)
OR
on Rebecca and Rowena (Thackeray)

I've never read either, but I'll go with the Dickens.

House or Grey's Anatomy?

Greyʻs Anatomy

Cheering,
for the Natʻl championship :
Alabama or Florida ?

(even though there may be 48 states full of people who dont care which)

Alabama

be chased by a tribe of head shrinkers or a tribe of cannibals?

(sorry NatGeo has an interesting program on head shrinkers on right now! )

Tough choice...will I be eaten either way? If so, tribe of cannibals. I would hate to think what my head would look like shrunk. I'm used to it being swelled.

toilet paper: hang the roll over or under?

Over. Definitely over.

Three Musketeers or Three Stooges?

The Three Musketeers Versus Three Stooges? What a great idea for a movie!

If i have to chose only three, i'm going to go for two stooges and a musketeer.

Hot or cold?

"3 Musketeers VS. 3 Stooges --great idea..."

The closest I can think to it is The Three Stooges Meet Hercules (1962).

HOT

Projected Movies:

"The 3 Stooges Meet Vaclav Havel"

OR

"The 3 stooges Meet Nicholas Sarkozy" ??
