Broken head. Ditto Mono's rationale *bows to the master*

Walk! Firstly, I can't drive :D and secondly, I infinitely prefer walking.

Sweet dumplings with strawberry filling and cottage cheese, cream, and cinnamon on top or pancakes with bilberry paste, cottage cheese, and cream? (I probably wouldn't be able to decide...hmm...probably pancakes. :D)

both i love flowers even though they set my allergies off sometimes

red rose or blue rose?

mono
04-22-2005, 02:30 PM

shortysweetp
04-22-2005, 02:32 PM
hyacinths

rose gardens or the mountains?

Paul McCartney

classic rock or 80's rock?

Hmm, I love them both, but more classic rock - the big hair and tight leather pants seemed somewhat unsatisfying.

AC/DC or Kiss?

shortysweetp
04-22-2005, 02:51 PM
i think i listened to Kiss more

bus or amtrack thing? sorry its been awhile since i lived anywhere with any kind of public transportation

mono
04-22-2005, 02:53 PM
How odd! While preparing some coffee, somehow I thought of a good question, also regarding public transit. You, in essence, asked precisely the same, shorty. :D

I prefer the MAX train, similar to Amtrak, just shorter, more local distances.

Short, quick highways, or long scenic routes?

shortysweetp
04-22-2005, 02:55 PM
depends on my mood but when i lived in Oregon I preferred the long scenic route

same question?

mono
04-22-2005, 03:00 PM
It also depends on my mood. Of course, if I must get somewhere quickly, according to some schedule (like nursing school) :eek:, I surely must take the quick way. Otherwise, I always prefer the long scenic routes.

Emily Dickinson or Sylvia Plath?

shortysweetp
04-22-2005, 03:05 PM
Sylvia Plath

Bandini
04-22-2005, 05:16 PM
Charlotte.

Ted Hughes or Sylvia Plath?

mono
04-23-2005, 02:03 AM
Hmmm, tough one, but I will have to choose Sylvia Plath, only because I have read more of her material than Ted Hughes.

Robert Browning or Elizabeth Barrett-Browning?

Snukes
04-23-2005, 11:00 AM
Oooh, also tough. I'll say Elizabeth, since she's produced some of my favorite quotes.

"Earth's crammed with heaven, and every common bush afire with God; But only he who sees it takes off his shoes."

shoes or socks?

Taliesin
04-23-2005, 12:06 PM
Neither. Bare-foot, if possible, and socks plus other footwear (such as shoes or boots) when outside.

Trumpet.

hmmmmm... that's a toughy...I'd pick the eyelids, there's only two.

lose an arm or a leg?

mono
04-24-2005, 09:08 PM
Wow, these questions have taken an interesting turn. I would hate to lose either, but would cope easiest with a loss of a leg.

While we discuss illnesses and injury: mononucleosis (not related to my sign-in name :D) or tonsilitis?

Psyche
04-24-2005, 09:12 PM
Tonsilitis, because I can't get it anymore! http://forum.lush.com/forum/images/smiles/108.gif

Slimy or sticky?

mono
04-24-2005, 09:16 PM

Loki
04-24-2005, 09:54 PM
DVD!

Park in the city or nature reserve in the mountains?

Psyche
04-24-2005, 10:02 PM
Nature reserve!!

Braless of harnessed in?
(preference for yourself or in regards to others)

mono
04-24-2005, 10:23 PM
I merely encourage comfort, by any means, though I imagine wearing a bra with two small barbels causes some discomfort. ;)

E.E. Cummings or William Carlos Williams?

Isagel

That is a cruel choice to have to make in the morning.
William Carlos Williams.

T-Bone or Tofu?

mono
04-25-2005, 01:53 PM
Mmmm, tofu.

Accept a job that you hate but pays well, or accept a job that you love but pays little? :brow:

Bandini
04-25-2005, 02:17 PM
Definitely the latter.

I worked very briefly in a very well payed but souless job. It really was something out of a British version of 'An American Psycho'. Everybody thinking material, and talking ****e all of the time - ALL THE TIME! I would have been very wealthy if I could have hacked it, but I jacked in, (in legendary fashion ) within a month! It was a legendary few weeks though! It's a definite short story! With a Stooges theme tune! Iggy not 'The Three...'

Anyhoo. Since we're on The Stooges and I just been reading a great article about them, and MC5 in 'Uncut':

The Stooges or MC5?

shortysweetp
04-25-2005, 03:19 PM
the stooges.

Scheherazade
04-25-2005, 04:25 PM
Argh! I cannot choose! :eek2:

OK, cheese... no, chocolate... No, cheese... That is an unfair question!!!

yeah or yes?

Bandini
04-25-2005, 04:26 PM
Yeah - unless it's a student, then it often has to be 'Yes'! Hypocrite ain't I?

Real butter or alternative? (Hey, I'm tired!)

Scheherazade
04-25-2005, 04:32 PM
alternative

semi or skimmed milk?

Jay
04-26-2005, 11:06 AM
No idea what skimmed means but I'd go for the one with more fat in it... guessing it's the semi option, right?

broccolli or cauliflower? (spell???)

a note for Scher... I'll look them all up in a dict myself later... maybe :p ;)

Bandini
04-26-2005, 11:55 AM

chicken or turkey?

Jay
04-26-2005, 02:16 PM
there's a difference?

french fries or american potatoes? (hope it's not just a Czech thing)

mono
04-26-2005, 06:53 PM
Hmm, being American, ironically, I have no idea what 'American potatoes' entails, so I will go with french fries, especially with lots of ketchup.

Ketchup or mustard?

baddad
04-26-2005, 11:34 PM
mmmmmm *drool* .....mustard....


keep the creature comforts coming (rape the earth, but move forward technologically...the few benefit, the most lack)
or
less modern comforts and a healthy environment (few luxuries, revert to more basic/sustainable technologies...ie, horse and buggy)

Basil
04-27-2005, 01:02 AM
Hmmm, "rape the earth" vs. "healthy environment" . . .?

I'd answer that question, except I don't think it is a question--more of an opportunity for you to espouse your views on the environment in question form.

In keeping with that tradition, do you like wholesome, tasty apples or are you a member of the contemptible, traitorous minority who prefer oranges?

Scheherazade
04-27-2005, 02:26 AM
I have to say 'apples', I guess...

cereal or toast for breakfast?

Bandini
04-27-2005, 03:43 AM

almond butter or peanut butter?

Jay
04-27-2005, 01:15 PM
toasted filberts? what the heck is that? :D
there's an almond butter? :eek2:

seeing as I'm hearing about almond butter for the first time therefore have no idea what it tastes like... peanut butter (crunchy :p)

dogs or cats?

amuse
04-27-2005, 01:17 PM
oh gawd, it's so so so good. quick, where's your closest health-food store?

(filberts are hazelnuts. i was being goofy. ;))

CATS of course! maybe i should defer that question to someone else with, ahem, less of a bias? :D

Jay
04-27-2005, 01:25 PM
me? cos I'm SO not biased? DOGS of course! :D

almonds butter is a healthy food? STILL doubt I'd find it here (or maybe it's the reason? :p)

dry or wet? (you don't wanna know :D)

Bandini
04-27-2005, 02:03 PM
erm, definitely depends on what we are talking about. Let's say feet, and I'll say 'dry'.

Ocean or waterfall?

Coca Cola or Pepsi

mono
04-27-2005, 03:15 PM
Neither not being a drinker for soda, but, when I did drink it, I preferred Pepsi.

The Simpsons or Family Guy?

Veritas
04-27-2005, 03:21 PM
Family-guy is a *Klotz*
I prefer *Simpsons*

Spinach or Asparagus?

mono
04-27-2005, 03:22 PM
I love both, but spinach seems more versatile; one can do a lot with it, in terms of mixing, and the like.

Lemon or lime?

Scheherazade
04-27-2005, 04:24 PM
Lemon

Still or fizzy water?

shortysweetp

Margaritas.

Gin or Vodka?

vodka for my martini

drinking for the taste or to get drunk?

Bandini
04-27-2005, 04:54 PM
Not to get drunk, but I do like the buzz of a couple of large ones, or two decent glasses of wine or three pints of Guinness - and one or two more if it's a weekend. Got to be good booze though - so I really can't.

O.K. - to get drunk - if I had to give up the buzz I probably wouldn't bother.

Ah - question - all that talk of lovely booze mesmerised me.

Lager or Guinness? :goof:

Scheherazade
04-27-2005, 05:17 PM
Guinness

hula hoop or skipping rope?

kilted exile

skipping rope (I learned to skip when I used to box)

Photos: digital or film

Bandini
04-27-2005, 06:22 PM
Digital - but do I get them developed? Do I buggery!

Black and white or colour?

mono
04-28-2005, 01:30 AM
With photography? Usually black-and-white, as it adds such an aesthetic quality.
With movies? Either.

Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy or John Milton's Paradise Lost? :brow:

Bandini
04-28-2005, 08:16 AM
Ashamed to say I have read neither. One day!

Elmore Leanord or James Elroy?

Scheherazade
04-28-2005, 08:16 AM
Paradise Lost

Robinson Crusoe or Lord of the Flies?

Veritas
04-28-2005, 08:58 AM
Lord of the Flies

Tutanchamun or Ramses

Taliesin
04-28-2005, 09:02 AM
Ramses. Though he was a war pharaoh, he also built a lot of cities and stuff. Tutanhamon was too young to do anything special (to leave out the re-reformation after Ehnaton)

Anarchy or a Brave New World?

Veritas
04-28-2005, 09:13 AM
yes, Ramses II was a great Pharao, Taliesin. Did you know that he died at 92 years of age?? Quite an accomplishment in the 13th century! :-), considering that he ruled Egypt for over 67 years and faught many wars!

Brave New World


Anthropology or Pathology??

papayahed
04-28-2005, 09:58 AM
Anthropology

jacks or hop scotch?

Scheherazade

Hop scotch (Just found out what jacks is :) )

to be or not to be?

Bandini
04-28-2005, 01:04 PM
That is the question! Sartre said to be. Neitzsche said to do. Sinatra said...doo be doo be doo.

To be - not to BE (read 'Being and Nothingness' for an explanation!) ;)

Sartre or Camus?

Scheherazade
04-28-2005, 05:56 PM
Camus

sleeping early or getting up late?

Bandini
04-28-2005, 06:13 PM
Late - at least once a week I get the chance - and I love lazy morning holidays!

Sartre/Camus - I think that their best novels are on a par - but Sartre is the most important overall IMO.

Snuggling up or spreading out?

baddad
04-28-2005, 11:19 PM
snuggling up.....mmmmmmm


deciduous or coniferious?

mono
04-29-2005, 01:18 AM
Both types of plants have their respective forms of natural beauty and sublimity, but I would have to go with deciduous. As cliché as it sounds, I apologize, the changing and cycling of colors and shedding of leaves, only to grow more, and repeat the process, reminds me much of life, in essence - always in a state of flux, but usually beginning and ending in the same place. :)

Concrete or abstract?

Loki
04-29-2005, 03:14 AM
Abstract.

Comedy or tragedy?

Bandini
04-29-2005, 08:12 AM
Tragedy. (in art not life!)

Hamlet or Macbeth?

Han, of course! :brows:
(my real name ends in -han as well :D)

mobile or landline phone?

Jay
04-29-2005, 10:28 AM
I can 'turn off' both, so doesn't really matter :D

same question

kilted exile
04-29-2005, 03:41 PM
Landline

* Ok, this Q reminds me of a funny story. I was in a bar a couple of weeks ago (What a Scotsman in a bar? surely not ;) ) and there was this guy in a suit talking on his mobile phone about stocks/shares etc, whilst he was talking the phone began to ring. Obviously he was trying to impress everyone in the bar with how important he was, I couldn't stop myself from laughing. *

desktop or laptop?

amuse
04-29-2005, 04:38 PM
no!!!!!!! :goof: i heard of people doing that before but how awful, it really happens???

could he have been disconnected previously, though?

Jay
04-29-2005, 07:01 PM
laptop... desktop... laptop's better for some things but so's desktop... why can't I keep both? :p

fiction or non-fiction?

Loki
04-30-2005, 05:24 AM
fiction.

poetry or prose?

Jay
04-30-2005, 06:26 AM
poetry in prose or was it lyrical prose?

Elizabeth Barrett-Browning of Emily Dickinson?

Bandini
04-30-2005, 01:26 PM
Sorry, not a huge fan. Suppose they beat Christina Rossetti! Can't I have Elizabeth's husband? Ok, Elizabeth then.

Keats or Byron?

Scheherazade
04-30-2005, 01:33 PM
Impossible to choose... Byron I guess...

Saturday or Sunday?

100% Saturday - further from Monday.

Dawn or dusk?

Scheherazade
04-30-2005, 01:37 PM
dawn

German or French?

Bandini
04-30-2005, 01:43 PM
Language or place? I lived and worked in Germany for a year, and found that the stereotypes were not wholly accurate - I met some very decent people (although the sense of humour thing does have a ring of truth in some cases! Or maybe I just didn't get it.). I enjoyed my time there. Only been to France for two weeks holiday - I did love it; especially the good quality food. We were on a budget, so didn't eat out that much, but the ingredients at the markets was fantastic. Thinking about it the German people seemed friendlier than the French, but then I was a tourist in a touristy place in France, whilst in Germany I was a bit of a novelty.

Anyway, I digress! French then.

Scheherazade
04-30-2005, 01:52 PM
Anyway, I digress!
And forget to ask question! :D

Oh, bugger - every time!

Flares or straight leg?

Straight-leg, usually, but flares can feel more comfortable sometimes.

River or lake?

04-30-2005, 06:50 PM
River.

Sun or shade?

Helga
04-30-2005, 06:55 PM

Green - my girlfriend has green eyes. I have blue.

Smoothie or Milkshake?

neither but if I have to choose, milkshake

peaches or nectarines?

Jay
04-30-2005, 07:26 PM
reminds me of vodka... neither, lol

well, if there's not the vodka part, peaches

apples or pears?

Scheherazade
04-30-2005, 07:41 PM
apples

grapes or strawberries?

Jay
04-30-2005, 07:50 PM
kinda allergic to strawberries, so I'm playing it safe... grapes

strawberries or raspberries?

Scheherazade
04-30-2005, 07:53 PM
strawberries... and strawberry fields forever.

to sleep or not to sleep?

Jay
04-30-2005, 07:55 PM
uhm...

to shoo you to bed or not...

Miss Darcy
04-30-2005, 09:31 PM
To sleep.

Oh, sorry there seems to have been a mistake on my part...to not shoo, I suppose. :D

To be or not to be? :D

mono
04-30-2005, 10:09 PM
Hmm, I think I can only imagine 'to be.' Who can imagine 'not to be' anyway, since it is not? :confused:

Rumi or Hafiz?

Scheherazade
05-02-2005, 10:19 AM
Rumi

Miss Marple or Hercule Poirot?

Black Bread.

Cookie or Cake?

05-02-2005, 05:06 PM
Depends on the type of cookie and cake, but usually cake, especially chocolate. :D

Stairs or elevator?

Jay
05-03-2005, 10:51 AM
As I couldn't possibly fall in the elevator... ;)

in or out?

mono
05-03-2005, 10:55 AM
Depends on the weather, but usually out, if you asked that in particular.

Having general knowledge about everything or knowing everything of one specific subject?

Jay
05-03-2005, 11:26 AM
I think I'd prefer having general knowledge about everything.

same question

mono
05-03-2005, 11:36 AM
Probably the latter - knowing everything of one specific subject.

John Keats or Percy Bysshe Shelley?

baddad
05-03-2005, 11:38 AM
I prefer (and immodestly suppose) to know a little about a wide range of topics. Becoming a genius in one specific field seems a little bit limiting. I know a few geniuses practicing in different academic fields, but they couldn't start a simple campfire to save their lives, or fix their own cars, or sail a boat, etc.....

Easy way out: Same question: narrow field of interest with complete knowledge, or general aptitude in many areas?

Scheherazade
05-11-2005, 05:07 PM
general aptitude in many areas.

Bambi or Dumbo?

washing the car or mowing the lawn?

Jay
05-12-2005, 12:04 PM
washing the car... mowing the lawn... washing... mowing... ack, don't care, lol

urban (city/town...) or country (small town/village...)?

mono
05-13-2005, 01:08 AM
I enjoy both thoroughly, but love the city more, having more than enough necessary resources nearby, but I love my city having so much in such close proximity - forests, mountains, ocean, etc.

While sleeping: complete darkness or dim light?

05-13-2005, 02:23 AM
Dim light.

Museums or Galleries?
