Game: This or That

[emily655321]

My nails are usually too short to break. If one does I just cut the rest of them.

Windows: open in/out like doors, or slide up and down?

[verybaddmom]

Personally, i prefer the ones that crank open from the bottom out so they are on an angle when open, they are easier for me to clean, but i have the ones that slide from side to side right now.

killing spiders: yes or no?

[emily655321]

no, never. Put 'em outside. I accidentally squelched a HUGE juicy one under a wooden box in the bathroom once, though, and got so upset I had to wake up my mother and have her clean it up. I can't stand the sight of bugs.

Umm... big marshmallows or the tiny ones?

[ajoe]

big

boba or bubble tea?

[IWilKikU]

I pass to someone who knows what either of those are.

Az, Yerp?!? :p :p. Thats great! Do you mind if I use that?

[emily655321]

LOL Yeah, Kik, that's what I was waiting for too. Uhm... I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that the question is... tea bags V. loose tea? Am I horribly off the mark? Or does it mean hot tea V. iced tea? In the first case, I don't drink much tea, so I just go for whatever's around. And I prefer hot tea, unless the iced tea is the fake kind they sell in bottles... mmm... carcinogentastic.

Internet Explorer or Netscape?

[amuse]

Kik,
go for it! i tooked it from tolkien's "yerch." d'ya think he'd mind? :D

[random_hero]

explorer... netscape is the gimp horse on its way to the alpo factory...

abortion or adoption...
(Oh, this is a good on, hope it wasn't done already...)

[ajoe]

<<<Note on my earlier question>>>

http://www.addis-welt.de/smilie/smilie/lachen/112.gif boba and bubble tea are the same thing, except for boba is original Chinese and bubble tea is its translation. What boba is?? How can you guys not know?? http://www.addis-welt.de/smilie/smilie/kampf/smileys26.gif It's not necessarily tea (it can be coffee/strawberry/etc) and it's rare because it's a drink you can chew. Let me attach a picture just in case you've seen in but just don't know it's that.

http://www.rovingmad.com/albums/album01/bubble_tea.jpg

[emily655321]

LOL I still don't think I understand, ajoe, but I can't stop looking at that smiley getting its brains whacked out. :D :D :D
ROFLMFAO

As for RH's question, I'm gonna keep it short because I'm very.. um.. opinionated on this issue. Oops, said too much already.... Adoption.

How do you spell it, personally: Bombay or Mumbai?

[random_hero]

Bombay, cuz Im a white kid from a podunk town in the silicon valley
I really want to know: Mini Me or Knee High P.I.?
Mini Me is from Austin Powers, he is Dr. Evil's clone-gone-wrong.
Knee High P.I. is a Comedy Central original movie, and features a little person as a detective on the case of a man murdered for his lawn jockey. I think. Maybe I mixed it up with another movie. So you choose: WHICH MIDGET?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[emily655321]

I didn't watch the Comedy Central thing. Maybe I'm just too PC, but I'm really not into the whole Man-Show-esque representations of dwarves that have been proliferating recently. But I'd choose Verne Troyer ("Mini-Me") anyway, cause he's hi-larious. :D I demand more movie roles for Verne!

woodstove or fireplace?

[random_hero]

Yeah, I agree with the man show lp things (LP being Little Person) But knee high P.I. wasnt one of those. It was a little more serious. Well, as serious as a movie about an LP detective can get.

oh, woodstove, reminds me of a shanty/cabin we have in downieville. look up downieville on google, its a cool ghost town-turned-mountainbiking town.

The red pill or the blue pill? (Matrix)

[emily655321]

Which one turns me into Maynard Keenan? Whoops, wrong thread :D ...

Bookcase or shelves on the wall?

[imthefoolonthehill]

both, all you can get.


cooler?

nukes or medeival seige weapons

[emily655321]

Medieval weapons. They were so much more creative and fun to look at. There's no craftsmenship to bombs, and no sport (I don't mean the "rah, rah" kind) in nuclear warfare. You have a beef with someone, get your mace and get your feet in the mud. (...George.)

The Rocky Horror Show -or- Priscilla, Queen of the Desert?

[papayahed]

sheesh I can't choose, both have great soundtracks, both I can watch over and over, --- I won't, I can't, I can't choose!!!!!

Tuna Salad or Chicken Salad?

[emily655321]

LOL I think Priscilla has better music and plot, but Rocky has better acting and costumes. I guess they're good for different moods. Or one big slumber party. :D :D

Tuna! I always choose fish when it's available over the feeted ones.

Graphic emoticons (:)) or the ones that go like : ) ??

[Sancho]

I like 'em both but I'm not sure how you'd make one those teethy smiley ones with just punctuations.

Log cabin or double-wide?

[verybaddmom]

log cabin

contemporary apartment in the downtown core of the city, or white picket fence in the suburbs?

[amuse]

both?
nah, after i get a degree from the city (and the university), will have spent a decade in philly; i want a white picket fence with a huge garden in the back, and i'll get to be a stepford wife! :D :D :D
(ok, so i haven't read the book since my teens, but would really like to work during the day, read during the day, laze around, volunteer, write, garden, hang out with my girlfriends, and spend at least 5 days a week just shopping, cooking, cleaning, laundering (and the rest ;) ;).)

read under a tree with a picnic lunch or use the public library or use an old comfy chair or read in bed?
*maybe since i asked 4 questions you can answer 2? - no this one doesn't count :p*

[verybaddmom]

read anywhere i happen to be: on a noisy stinky bus, in the bar (i hold a pen in one hand and my book sits under the bar so it looks like im working....shhhhh), in the park under a tree, in bed at home (when my honey is at his home, in a town far far away), sitting in the backyard, with the kids frolicking on the trampoline, on a bench outside the college, squatting in the bookstore, behind the classics shelf, comfy chair in the bookstore/coffee shop...but it seems never the library, mostly because it has the worst selection of books (i have previously mentioned my ire with the librarian)

[verybaddmom]

duh...

paper bookmark or lay the book pages down on the nightstand?

[ajoe]

bookmark

104 degrees: a beautiful day or a HOT, HOT, day?

[verybaddmom]

that would be what in celcius??? sorry, quick translation for us Canadians....

[ajoe]

lol, 104 degrees in celcius and we'd melt!

[random_hero]

explicit or implied?

[verybaddmom]

so 104 F would be what in C?
i guess i could look it up on the net, but im on holidays now; too lazy for research, in fact i may do away with punctuation next....

or not. i cant live without punctuation. who was i kidding?

[amuse]

i think it's 40 C.

[verybaddmom]

thank you ever so much amuse....
beautiful day, to answer the question; the hotter the better for me.

do you believe that people's behaviors change under the full moon?

[simon]

Yes, I personally turn into a duck when under direct moonlight, this has been seen by witnesses, and though their reliability is questionable, I am inclined to believe them.

Do you prefer octopi or octopuses?

[amuse]

octopie :p

do you prefer apple pie or math pi?

[verybaddmom]

definitely apple pie, if those are my choices, but peach is even better!

junk food junkie or heath nut?

[amuse]

both. i like jelly beans for lunch and tofu with arame for dinner. miso for breakfast and a box of granola for a snack. so bad...!

prepare lunch in advance or eat on the go? *hope wasn't asked already*

[verybaddmom]

depends on the state of my organizational skills. usually the beginning of the week im doing pretty well, having used my weekend to catch up and get organized, but by thursday or so, im all out of sync again, and running thru the caf or subway to find sustenance to carry me to the weeked. my son, he always gets packed lunches though, funny how i have time to make sure he's looked after, but i neglect myself. hmmmm.....

giver or taker?

[amuse]

giver, need to work on receiving. it's so hard!
btw, your pm box is full. ;)

run or walk?

[verybaddmom]

yes i just realized that...but i fixed it now. sorry!

walk (running is just not for the girls with ...um...fully developed upper body areas)

swim or doggie paddle?

[avid_reader]

swim
hard copy or soft copy ?

[emily655321]

Hard copy. Unless it's in physical form, I never quite feel like it's real.

floor tiles: smooth surface or with spaces of grout between them?

[Sancho]

Grout. A grout line gives me an excuse when I trip over my own two feet.

Bill or Hillary

[emily655321]

Hillary

Lawn mower: push or ride-on?

[verybaddmom]

no lawn....water sucking weeds...groundcover plants instead.

flowering plants or shrubs?

[emily655321]

flowering shrubs. :D (Around here, mountain laurel, rhododendrem (sp), and forcythia run rampant. Everyone's got some in their yard.)

To look at or draw with: pen-and-ink or colored pencil/pastels?

[ajoe]

pen

Hilary Duff or Lindsay Lohan?

[emily655321]

*blank stare* Uhm... can I buy a vowel? :p

Teletubbies or Boobah (trippy, trippy booobahh...)

[ajoe]

*blank stare in return*
I like Barney. "I love you, you love me, we're one happy family..."

right or left?

[verybaddmom]

um....right, right?

tarot or tea leaves?

[random_hero]

Im righthanded but... left is so much cooler... left coast, etc...

pink or purple?

[ajoe]

really neither, but purple is better than pink I guess

ALL CAPITAL, all lower-case, or mIxEd Up?
(Yea, there are 3 choices, so what?)

[verybaddmom]

all lower case....capitals are not important to me..

punctuation or not?

[emily655321]

Yes, always. In IM's I always go for the lower case, "u're" "omg" "ttyl" speak, but if there's supposed to be a semicolon in there... goshdarnit I'm gonna put one. :D

Coffee mug: ceramic (or whatever they make them out of) or clear glass?

[verybaddmom]

ceramic, but only because it matches my very cool black dishes.

herculean coffee mug or wimpy coffee cup?

[emily655321]

Well, mugs all seem pretty big to me. But not like one of those huge bowl things. I drink everything that isn't in my trustye water bottle out of one of two: a clear glass cafe mug (the kind with a lip and a base) and a big green one with a cat on it whose tail is the handle. And on one side it says "Purr." :D

Soilent green or people?

[verybaddmom]

people, mostly. there are some people i would happily sell, but none that i have to live with, so YAY

live alone or roommates? (if you had the choice financially)

[emily655321]

ALONE.
Not looking forward to the roommates thing. They may end up in tidy little axed up pieces by the end of the semester.

Monty Python: Flying Circus -or- the movies?

[verybaddmom]

I regret to say i have never seen any Monty Python (i know, it's on my list of things to do)

axed up bodies....in the freezer or buried in the garden for fertilizer?

[emily655321]

Well, souvenirs are nice... but you have to keep the cycle of life going, I suppose.

Angry Monkeys: better in your hair -or- behind the wheel of a school bus?

[verybaddmom]

um..i dont like monkeys anywhere thank you very much

snakes or spiders?

[emily655321]

snakes

better part of the sandwich: the peanut butter -or- the jelly?

[verybaddmom]

peanut butter

peanut butter and jelly or peanut butter and honey?

[emily655321]

jelly always. I've never heard of eating honey with it. Doesn't sound that appetizing.

Throw bread crusts out, eat them, or give them to the birds?

[verybaddmom]

ooohhh. its wonderful...you must try it!

bread crusts get thrown into a pail on the top shelf of a cupboard to dry out, then get thrown through the food processor to make crumbs for breading and such...way too frugal i know.

fruits or vegetables?

[emily655321]

fruit fruit and more fruit.

rabbits or hamsters?

[Green Utopia]

rabbits


Green Utopia or yourself?lol

[random_hero]

Me of course! Ha...

copy or scan?

[verybaddmom]

scan all the way

tunafish with pickles or without?

[papayahed]

ack, without.

Bread: white or wheat?

[verybaddmom]

wheat for everything but peanut butter sandwiches (i dont know why, but peanut butter doesnt taste right on wheat bread)

photos: matte or glossy?

[Sancho]

Dang, but peanuts and wheat make a complete protein. Gotta get your seven essential amino acids.

Glossy. This is from another thread but: “The sheriff came in with 47 - 8 by 10 color glossy pictures with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back ‘splaining how they was to be used as evidence against us.” Whew!

small village or BIG CITY

[emily655321]

:D

small village. Live in one and want to live in a much smaller one.

Seafood: fish with fins, or shellfish/lobster?

[imthefoolonthehill]

both man... I love sea food... Eat at Moe's in Corvalis, Oregon. Its the best.

Math with a migraine or Sprinting with a migraine

[emily655321]

Oi. Sprinting, because then at least when you veer off course and crash to the ground in a mangled heep of broken bones, you get to go to the nurse and lay down for a little while. :D

Photo albums or shoebox?

[imthefoolonthehill]

photo albums.


at your wedding:

Three Stooges or Rod Stewart?

[emily655321]

Oh good God. Rod Stewart, because there's only one of him.

Moths or butterflies?

[imthefoolonthehill]

moths... they are creatures of the night, just like me.


terrifying or confusing?

[emily655321]

What is? You mean, which would I rather? Terrifying.
Anything's better than not knowing what's going on.

Blindness or deafness?

[verybaddmom]

ouch...tough call.
i would have to say deafness...but oh my, what a terrible thing to have to choose. to not be able to hear my child's voice change, or to hear my boyfriend laugh again? music? thunder? my incredimail butler telling me i have mail? yikes
but i would choose to see color and smiles and flowers and sunshine and words in books.

nerve damage in um....personal places or a lost limb?
(are we ever getting morbid :confused: )

[papayahed]

yipes, ummm lost limb, I can get a prosthetic right?

mars or venus?

[Sancho]

Venus of course.

Nature or nurture?

[emily655321]

Ooh, good one. I can't say a peppering of both? I'll say... 65% nature.

glass or plastic?

[imthefoolonthehill]

glass.... break it and cut people.

paper or plastic?

[emily655321]

I was gonna ask that, but I thought it had been asked before.
My 'rents get plastic, but if it was up to me I'd go paper.

song birds or birds of prey?

[imthefoolonthehill]

birds of prey. so much cooler

chicken or turkey (for eating)

[emily655321]

I guess turkey, since the only poultry I usually eat is deli meat.

old movies: mobsters or cowboys?

[papayahed]

mobsters-- definately


showering at night or in the morning?

[Sancho]

Why shower at all? Prefer Morning.

Go fishing or go to a Ball Game? (This afternoon)

[emily655321]

Well, I don't like fishing the way I don't like hunting, but at a ball game you're surrounded by screaming drunk people on hot seats. At least fishing there's room for enjoying nature and contemplating life. If you feel like having fish for dinner, I'd say fishing.

When you talk to someone, do you look them in the eyes or try to avoid eye contact?

[verybaddmom]

eye contact. i am always surprised how many people are made uncomfortable by that..

comfort or speed?

(i used to have a bumper sticker that said "built for comfort, not for speed". i always wanted to tattoo that on myself!)

[emily655321]

LMAO! Go for it.

Comfort

The Stones or The Doors?

[verybaddmom]

Doors

own something crappy or owe on something nice?

[emily655321]

Own something crappy. Money doesn't stay in my hand long enough to pay someone back. :D

Jaguar with the motor of a Beemer, or Beemer with the motor of a Jaguar?

[papayahed]

ok I realize i live in the motor city, but I don't know and don't care about cars (please don't tell anybody) so since I think Jaga are cuter I'll go with Jaguar with the motor of a beemer.

pick up truck or SUV

[emily655321]

Ew, I don't like cars either. The basic thing was, "would you rather have something of good quality or just have people THINK you do."

I hate both, but I guess pickup truck. SUV's are the devil.

Ice cream: soft serve or hard stuff

[papayahed]

oh i get it, i knew this guy who drove a cute BMW but once you got in it you realized it was on the low end of the BMW spectrum. I could be wrong but I could have sworn his seats were plastic...

Hard Stuff!!!!!!!

Vanilla or chocolate?

[amuse]

vanilla. i only like bitter unsweetened chocolate.

crystal rock or regular deodorant?

[verybaddmom]

crystal rock. i was surpirsed that it worked but it does, really well. and there is no icky chemical smell (or taste...dont ask) the regular stuff is oogey and the antiperspirants that you buy are actually very bad for your health.

public transit or own your own car?

[imthefoolonthehill]

own car. more control.

big truck or little car?

[Sancho]

I prefer a little 300 dollar car with a 6000 dollar bicycle on the roof. (of course a long black Cadillac would do in a pinch) no trucks though

Genghis Khan or Attila the Hun?

[papayahed]

Genghis all the way!!!!!


Arctic or Antarctic?

[Sancho]

Been to arctic so I'll chose antarctic.

Aurora Borealis or Shooting Star?

[Isagel]

Shooting star , then I get a wish.

As a birthday gift - do you want the thing you wished for or a complete surprise?

[Sancho]

Absolutely, that's the best part

Misty Mountain Meadow Morning or Crystal Clear Cloudless Coast?

[Shea]

I choose the "M's". There is a lot of pasture land near my house and some mornings when it's rather foggy, it's nice to look out and imagine the Misty Mountain Meadow (got to use imagination for those mountains). I've seen too many Crystal Clear Cloudless Coast's to really care about them anymore. (Though I do admit they're still pretty).

Alliteration or End Rhyme?

[emily655321]

Alliteration, all the way. I don't like perfect rhymes; too sing-songy.

Iambic pentameter or tetrameter? (If I remember correctly.)

[verybaddmom]

Iambic pentameter, i spent enough time learning it....

Donne or Herbert?

[emily655321]

These are choices of random names, or ones I'm supposed to recognize? I think I prefer the sound of "Donne"... :p

goldfish or the little black ones with the bug-outty eyes?

[verybaddmom]

ooohh...you havent read John Donne?? please but you must! the best poet EVER as far as i am concerned....(not fond of George Herbert myself)...hang on, i'll find you a link. wait there is one on this site, that may be why i am here......

big bug-outty eyes are cool...you are never quite sure where he's looking

preferred discussion topic: politics or religion?

Edit: here are three of my personal faves.....

http://www.online-literature.com/donne/337/
http://www.online-literature.com/donne/342/
http://www.online-literature.com/donne/371/

[emily655321]

Both scare me because I don't like arguments. Either if I'm talking with someone who agrees with me. :D But usually religion, because that's all philosophical and credibility doesn't depend on remembering names and events.

RE: Donne -- wow! That's my kind of poetry. :D Thanks VB!

What poet/author first inspired your interest in literature? (Mine was Emily Dickinson in 3rd grade.)

[edit] oops! wrong thread. aw, nevermind. just answer it. :D

[verybaddmom]

that would have to be wow....so many. maybe farley mowat? or cs. lewis? and honestly when i was teen, my reading passion centered around stephen king. i had that morbitity thing going on.

online games or board games?

[emily655321]

Online board games. :D Chinese checkers and memory (oh, I love memory!)

team sports or individual sports? (like swimming and equestrian)

[random_hero]

individual sports...

[verybaddmom]

is that why you dont post a question? you dont want to play with us?

[random_hero]

cell phone or land line...

[random_hero]

*like a canadian...*soory

[verybaddmom]

both

voice mail or answering machine?

[imthefoolonthehill]

answering machine... i've never had voice mail.

telephone or instant messenging?

[papayahed]

telephone - it gets the point across so much clearer and quicker.

Sunrise or Sunset?

[emily655321]

Sunrise at my house, then straight to bed. Sunset at the ocean, then out to do stuff. :D

Fiction/art from memory -or- non-fiction/art from life?

[imthefoolonthehill]

fiction.... its so much more real than life.


Bubble Gum or Minty Gum

[verybaddmom]

neither...hot cinnamon gum (big red though, no asparthame)

sugar or sugar substitutes?

[imthefoolonthehill]

sugar... don't want alzheimers.

Caffiene or decaf?

[verybaddmom]

caffeine...extra please

cream or coffee mate?

[imthefoolonthehill]

neither... coffee is only good when it tastes like a warm milkshake

Fancy or not when it comes to coffee?

[verybaddmom]

not. just cream and sugar. all that macchiato crap from starbucks can just stay there.


big corporate coffee shop or tiny corner coffee shop with art on the walls and coffee drips all over the floors?

[emily655321]

tiny drippy corner shop. If I must go in with you, which I won't, because I hate the smell of coffee. :p

cold medicine: liquid or pills?

[imthefoolonthehill]

liquid. Nyquil is the best.

Cough drops or hard candy?

[amuse]

card handy.

sleep in or waken at dawn?

[imthefoolonthehill]

depends on what the day has in store... if I'm outdoors, waking up at dawn is best. Hunting or hiking is best in the early morning.

gatorade or powerade?

[emily655321]

Is there a difference? Both kind of sting my throat.

fudge-cicles or cream-cicles (the orange ones) ?

[Sancho]

fudgy-wudgy yeah!

Is better to be loved or feared?
- Machiavelli

[emily655321]

Depends what you want out of the deal. Um, like, hypothetically, if you want your country NOT to get bombed again.... LOVE. But respect is better than either.

for a conversation or whatever: do you like to approach someone first, or have them approach you?

[verybaddmom]

i am the approacher, as a rule. i am the kind of person that can start a conversation with someone in the checkout line at the grocery store, or anywhere else really. i have a harder time in social situations that are really important, like going to a party where its important to make a good impression (i went to the party that a couple of the professor's from my uni threw, celebrating their wedding anniversary. i was petrified. i think because i was so flattered that they considered me, a mere student, worth inviting)

do people that talk to you in lines (at the bank, or doctor's office, or whatever) irritate you?

[emily655321]

Depends what mood I'm in, and what they're talking about, and where we are, and whether I'm busy or thinking about something. But usually...yes. LoL.

at weddings: rice or confetti or bubbles?

[verybaddmom]

i would rather have people throw money at my wedding. however, i will throw confetti at other peoples weddings, if i must throw something. its just going to get thrown out anyhow (often they use the pieces of paper left from punching holes in sheets of looseleaf and such), and it biodegrades

listener or talker?
(i just realized i posted that last question on the wrong thread...duh)

[emily655321]

LoL That's okay -- I always have trouble thinking of a this-or-that, but then my other-thread questions all seem to end up this-or-that's anyway. :confused: BTW, WELCOME BACK VB!! :wave: yay!!

I'll talk if no one else is, to keep the conversation going. Or if I have a thought you can't shut me up. :D But if someone else is talking I'm much happier just to sit and listen.

Do you prefer reading or writing?

[papayahed]

'rithmetic, but if I had to choose between the two listed I'd pick reading. I can't write worth a darn let alone getting my thoughts in print and having them resemble anything in my melon.

peanuts or popcorn?

[verybaddmom]

popcorn, but only with a bit of sugar and salt and butter. not the healthiest snack out there.

camping: roughin' it with just a sleeping bag and a backpack of canned food with only a screwdriver to open it OR a camper or RV with a microwave, shower and sattelite dish?

[kilted exile]

Roughing It (however without the canned food, a fishing rod and decent knife is all you need)

laptop or desktop?

[verybaddmom]

i have a desktop, want a laptop. next on the list....

angels or fairies?

[emily655321]

I commend you on not spelling it "faeries." Due to the irritating proliferation of fairies on teenage girls' teeshirts and notebooks and everything else you can silk screen, I'll say angels. Some of the early renaissance artists did some interesting stuff with them. Still two of my least favorite fantastical creatures, though. :p

speaking of which...
centaur or Minotaur?

[amuse]

i still spell it "faeries"! (probably always have/will) :D oh no, that's awful. will i ever grow up? :D

centaur. guess because of the ol' birthday. and they're very pretty in "fantasia"!

holistic dr. or md? (had asked in wrong thread.)

[emily655321]

MD. I think most of it comes down to how much faith the patient has in the effectiveness of the treatment, so I don't discount the placebic value (I can invent words if I want to :p) of holistic medicine. My own faith is in science, but neither does much good if you don't honestly believe them to work.

roses: red or white?

[papayahed]

White

row boat or speed boat?

[emily655321]

*Monet's* row boat. Lying back with a parasole while some cutie does the rowing. :D
Although I'm guessing it's kinda leaky by now. :p

Classic rock or Modern rock?

[amuse]

classic rock

barefoot or shod to the nth?

[emily655321]

Inside, the boots come off immediately and don't go back on till I walk out the door. But out of the house, we're inseparable in all seasons.

Black Adder or Mr. Bean?

[kilted exile]

Definetly Blackadder (Blackadder Goes Forth in particular)

Three Stooges or Marx Brothers

[emily655321]

Marx Brothers, all the way. I always get such a sense of bitter self-loathing from Groucho, like the whole time he's talking he's thinking, "shoot me. Shoot me now." It makes him even more lovable, for some reason. But Harpo's the best :D -- when I was a kid, he became my musical idol and inspired my interest in playing piano and harp (the latter of which I still plan to learn someday).

Groucho, Harpo, or Chico? (Or, if you're a bizarre freak of nature, Zeppo? :p j/k)

[imthefoolonthehill]

groucho. aids or cancer?

[emily655321]

Ouch. Well, they thought my great uncle only had a couple of months to live, because the cancer had spread to his lungs and his heart I believe... then they did one more operation, and he seems to be in complete remission! All gone. All healthy. So...I'd stake my bets on cancer, I guess. Amazing things are possible.

Which do you usually enjoy best in songs: the refrain or the verses?

[imthefoolonthehill]

depends on the song.
I refuse to answer.

that makes you feel: angry or sad?

[emily655321]

You wish. I couldn't think of a better question. :p

You are: egotistical or insecure?

[emily655321]

Okay, okay. I'll ask a question I don't already know the answer to. ;)

When do you usually visit the Forum: day or night?

[atiguhya padma]

after noon

what is the best?

[emily655321]

after midnight

Buster Keaton or Charlie Chaplain? (have I asked this before?)

[papayahed]

Buster Keaton

"Abbott and Costello" or "Laural and Hardy"?

[emily655321]

Laurel and Hardy.

paperback or hardcover? (it's probably been asked before, but oh well.)

[amuse]

paperback. hardcover's nice at home, but you can't cart it around as easily.

vegetarian or omnivore?

[emily655321]

I've kind of become a veggie gradually, but I don't abstain as a rule. I'm just not crazy about meat. I do refuse to eat pork, though, because piggies are so smart :)...really, anything but fish and chicken and turkey, now and then a hamburger, but I don't like red meat very much.

Are you a bookmarker or page-folder?

[Psyche]

A bookmarker, I cherish my books. :)

golden tan or ghostly white?

[mono]

Marshmallows? :D
I prefer them ghostly white, uncooked.

Books or movies?

[Miss Darcy]

Books, naturally. ;)

Town or country?

[Miss Darcy]

Hard one. In most cases, probably film because you get a better choice.

In an internet cafe, which would you choose if you could have only one: internet, or coffee? (This is assuming you are away from home and don't have access to the internet.)

That was a pretty complicated question, but never mind...

[mono]

Coffee. When in my favorite café, I often enjoy leisure writing, which I do the old-fashioned way: a glass pen and paper - no need for Internet.

Coffee or tea?

[Psyche]

Damn you!!! *shakes fist*
Coffee addicted, and always in pursuit of the perfect work of espresso art, but slightly more at ease in the Sea of Tea tranquility.

Bald or Furry? :D

[mono]

Mostly bald with, usually, at least a little fur, but I do not consider myself finicky.

Pierced or unpierced?

[Psyche]

Depends on what and where, but having 31 of them, I will have to say, pierced.

Suffocating or sudden cardiac arrest?

[mono]

Suffocating cardiac arrest, as masochistic as that sounds, since a slowly progressive myocardial infarction would allow one to find help quicker.

Do you find yourself more perceiving or judging?

[Miss Darcy]

I only just realised I made two posts in a row back there...I have no idea what happened, I thought one of them was in "Ask the person below you..." but never mind.

I *hope* I'm more perceiving than judging. After all, it would take a fair deal of judgement to figure that out. ;)

Classical or Pop?

[mono]

Rarely pop, usually classical, but I try being as eclectic as possible.

Romanticism or realism?

[Miss Darcy]

Romanticism, though I like realism too.

Biology or chemistry?

coffee or tea?

[shortysweetp]

[mono]

Swingset, definitely.

Fiction or non-fiction?

[Miss Darcy]

....Hmmm....Fiction, usually, but I also like non-fiction (Hawking, Sheldrake, Feynman, mostly)...it's difficult.

Mild vegetarian burrito with kidney-bean filling and topped by black olives (it's delicious btw) or hot nachos with melted cheese, chilli sauce and a chicken flavour?

[Scheherazade]

nachos with melted cheese *drools enough to give Homer a run for his money*

the glass is half full or half empty?

[mono]

Half full - usually optimistic.

Same: is the glass half full or half empty?

[Taliesin]

Pardon? This is our glass? We don't think so. Our glass was full. And it was a bigger glass.

[papayahed]

Uh...er....*lowers voice as if making an intimate confession* I've never drank coffee before. (Should add that to my "never" list!)

To the next person, to give Mono a more interesting answer, the same question.

Wow . . . no . . . coffee . . . can hardly . . . believe it.
I can drink either, but usually prefer espresso, being one of those silly coffee snobs.
