Come on, be honest: who would you rather see die of Ebola--your most abusive/sadistic boss (or school bully if you're a student); or the person who betrayed you most in life?

[Bluehound]

There is only one person in the world I would wish that on , guess you would call them a betrayer (someones boss would have to be pretty twisted to deserve that).

What would be worse if you were famous, leaked sex tape with a hottie or kiss and tell from someone who was definitely not?

[Pompey Bum]

There is only one person in the world I would wish that on , guess you would call them a betrayer (someones boss would have to be pretty twisted to deserve that).

That's awful. You should be ashamed of yourself. [ :) ]

Actually, I'd have given it to am old boss or two. Friends who prove false--well, they've all got their stories, too. But a sadistic boss is just torturing you for fun. On the other hand, it's probably not healthy to harbor such fantasies. You have to let those people sink onto oblivion.


What would be worse if you were famous, leaked sex tape with a hottie or kiss and tell from someone who was definitely not?

The sex tape would be better because at least you had sex.

archie for sure---wonderfully wholesome, like Richie Cunningham on happy days.

Patrick stewart as jean-luc picard or Charles Xavier (professor x)

[Pompey Bum]

Well, as Kennewick Man, really, but okay, as Captain Picard given the choice. He was also a pretty good Aelius Sejanus (with hair!) on I, Claudius, back on the day.

Firing squad or lethal injection

[bounty]

although I am sure he'd love to have all his hair back, I think id have a tough time enjoying Patrick stewart as anything other than bald!

oh man, whenever I read literature that has capital punishment in it, I ponder what it would be like to be the one about to be executed and its very anxiety provoking. i think id go with lethal injection.

[bounty]

I love abbott and Costello! I grew up watching their movies, have them all, watch some occasionally and id love to read a book on their lives.

gotta go with Costello---otherwise, no laughter.

morning person or night owl?

[Pompey Bum]

Night person at heart, but life is full of concessions.

Liberal or conservative?

[Clopin]

Neither, but If I have to choose then conservative because nearly everyone I know is a true blue liberal and I like to bother them by not agreeing with them all the time. I don't think 'left' and 'right' are meaningful distinctions either. I prefer Peter Hitchens to Christopher Hitchens if that helps.

Communism or Capitalism?

[Pompey Bum]

Capitalism. As Churchill said of democracy, it is the worst possible system except for all the others.

Edward Snowden: hero or traitor?

[Clopin]

From what I know about him, hero.

[Clopin]

Oolong, but between green, white and oolong I have no strong preference.

Black or pu'er, tea.

[Pompey Bum]

In the West, I think they are the same thing (called red tea in the Far East). But if you mean that toxic stuff from Sri Lanka (which I think is called black tea in India), then no, give me pu'er any day.

"Indians" or "Native Americans"?

[Clopin]

Native Americans. India is a country in Asia.

Drawing or painting?

[bounty]

if we are talking about me as artist, I cant do either well, so the lesser of the two evils is probably drawing. unless we are talking paint by numbers---then it might be painting.

Coke by a mile.

Honey or sugar (for sweetening drinks).

[Pompey Bum]

Neither, Clopin. I'm sweet enough.

Surf or turf?

[bounty]

oh heck im a vegetarian and answered one like this before! ack!

i'll take the turf if you put a gun to my head.

star trek or star wars?

[Pompey Bum]

i'll take the turf if you put a gun to my head.

(Do you eat clams, Bounty? No eyes and they don't try to get away. Yum! :))


star trek or star wars?

Trek. Star Wars was only good when Alec Guinness was on it.

Kirk or Picard?

[bounty]

laughs...I have never eaten clams, but I do come from a part of the state where "clambakes" are popular so ive had the opportunity.

even though they seem to fall outside my Kellogg's prescription of having eyes or try to get away, I probably wouldn't eat them.

I like both kirk and picard, but the nod to picard who is one of my top two all time favorite fictional characters. the other is Sherlock holmes.

sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't:

almond joy or mounds?

[Pompey Bum]

Almond Joy. I feel like a nut.

Professor Moriarty or Colonel Sebastian Moran?

[bounty]

have to go with moriarty as he is the deeper, more pervasive villain.

[Pompey Bum]

Don't make me laugh.

Sherlock or Mycroft?

[bounty]

oh poor hercule! supposedly someone wrote a little 25ish page manuscript called "the Belgian at baker street." I'd love to see that.

I like Mycroft, but must go with Sherlock. (see post #19567 for reference!)

mitch rapp or jack reacher? (I am thinking of making a thread having something to do with that)

[bounty]

I like this game so im hoping it doesn't fade away into oblivion....am hoping a repost can revive it.

mitch rapp or jack reacher?

[bounty]

trying again...(somebody help the boy!)

mitch rapp or jack reacher?

[tailor STATELY]

(lol)... Out of my depth here... had to google. After quick analysis I'll sway to Jack Reacher by a TKO.

Inspired by another thread: "Winnie the Pooh" or "Through the Looking Glass" ?

[bounty]

laughs...thank you thank you!

so you've not read either of those authors. vince Flynn wrote (he's deceased) counter-terrorism stuff (mitch rapp) and lee child writes detective/crime/drama (jack reacher).

I like both pooh and alice...but my nod goes towards Winnie. the stories are lovable and if you are going to write/read kids' stuff, I think lovable wins out over weird.

john wayne as cowboy or john wayne as military?

[tailor STATELY]

John Wayne as cowboy (Liberty Valance & True Grit)... I'd be loath to recall one of his many war films.

Fahrenheit 451 or Slaughterhouse 5 ?

[bounty]

ive not read slaughterhouse 5 yet, but I did read cat's cradle and I didn't enjoy it at all. its been years since I read Fahrenheit 451, but I remember enjoying it, and so id go with that.

classics or contemporary best sellers?

[tailor STATELY]

Classics easily.

Frogs or toads ?

[Clopin]

I like both. I used to catch toads in my grandmothers cellar and frogs in her pond ^.^

Toads, I suppose, are a bit cuter, so I pick them.

Rats or Snakes? (in your house)

[Pompey Bum]

Both. Then I'd feed the rats to the snake.

Lauren Bacall (ca. 1953) or Ingrid Bergman (ca. 1943)?

[Clopin]

Bacall... Acting performances not taken into account.

Milton or Dante? (as room mates)

[Pompey Bum]

Bacall... Acting performances not taken into account.

Heh heh. Agreed on both counts.


Milton or Dante? (as room mates)

Dante. He'd be less judgmental.

Violent but relatively sudden death (say, a plane crash) or years of near total memory loss followed by death in your sleep?

[Clopin]

Violent and quick of course, though a plane crash wouldn't be my ideal death.

Kitsch or academic?

[Pompey Bum]

Academic.

No, no, it has to be a plane crash. Just like the one in France, let's say. That or a quiet death in your sleep after years of Althziemers?

[Clopin]

It's still the plane crash.

[Pompey Bum]

Yeah, me, too. I'll try to remember that if I'm ever in a plane crash.

Next question?

[Clopin]

Oh yeah...

Fight a cobra with your hands tied behind your back or fight a tiger with a metal club?

[tailor STATELY]

ummm... I'll take the cobra.

Blue is my favorite color and colour; but emeralds are fit for Elvin Kings ! Yilya would I have worn to wield against the darkness; only to have become consumed... hmmmm

Emerald

Star Sapphire or Black Opal ?

[Sido]

Black Opal...every time I look into an Opal, it's like looking in to a frozen image of the universe...not sure if that makes much sense...

Rivendell or the Shire?

[NikolaiI]

A nigh impossible question, lol. Eventually I have to say the Shire, because that is where it all began.

Arrakeen or Sietch Tabar?

[tailor STATELY]

Sietch Tabar A spartan existence for me.

HG Wells' Nemo or Pixar's Nemo ?

[Sido]

Don't know about a HG Well's Nemo...So I guess I'll choose Pixar's Nemo.

Go on a deep sea ride on the Nautilus with Captain Nemo, or go on an expedition in to the dense forests of Africa with Allan Quatermain?

[bounty]

im a vegetarian, so hunting (or having to kill animals in defense) doesn't sound appealing, though id love the flora and fauna---at the same time, I grew up watching Jacque Cousteau and if I remember rightly, the nautilus has a viewing port, plus you can still go to islands and see the flora and fauna. I lean towards nemo.

original songs or cover versions?

Original songs, generally.

[tailor STATELY]

Okay, right choice there. And I was just kidding anyway.

[tailor STATELY]

I don't go for resque.

in my mind I am seeing a choice between a woman and a view of a picnic under a shady tree next to a babbling brook...

i'll go with statuesque though both sound good.

the beatles: the red album collection or the blue album collection?

[NikolaiI]

oh I wouldn't know. . . though I've listened to dozens or more of their songs, I wouldn't know which one is better. But Blue is my favourite color, so I'll say blue.

and abstract.

[bounty]

oh heck, late to the game...

and given the shenanigans I've witnessed over the past many posts (laughs) im going to go with art....van dalay!

pompey---lots of times the man vs wild guy (bear grylls) takes his clothes off to preserve them from getting wet in the freezing cold water he has to cross, soooooooooooo!

I think I tried to put this before and it didn't take, or maybe it did and ive forgotten:

Frankenstein or Dracula?

[tailor STATELY]

Assuming Frankenstein's monster....... Frankenstein

Abbott or Costello ?

thank you pompey---I'm on dial-up internet at home and cannot watch video, but sometime next when im on high speed, i'll make a point of watching.

keeping in a similar vein: lennon or McCartney?

[Pompey Bum]

Sure! Let me know who you like then (the right answer's Diz, but the way :)).

Lennon (big time)

The Who or The Kinks?

[Clopin]

The Kinks, but I'm not overly familiar with either group's output.

Tales about the sea or tales about what's beneath the earth?

[Dark Muse]

The sea

Fantasy or science fiction

[Clopin]

Fantasy by one hundred thousand leagues.

Goku or Vegeta?

[bounty]

I had to look that up and found out they are manga characters (did I say that right clopin?)

this is like the manga version of my jack reacher or mitch rapp question!

here's what I found too:

"They are the yin and yang. They balance each other out. They are the same power level (technically) but Goku always trained harder and always fought for others and never himself. Vegeta is that naturally gifted athlete who never had to work as hard to get where he wanted to go. There both cool but im going with Vegeta. Watching DBZ for so long and seeing him with that angry face, then you see him smile when he hugs his son during his buu battle. To watch him realize and accept many of his cares and insecurities made Vegeta seem more human."

and

"Goku Goku and Goku all the way. Not because he is the strongest but because he is the perfect mix of childlike and warrior like characters. When he is with his friends and family training or just resting, you love his childlike attitude. He is so strong and yet so gentle. Even Vegeta quoted " ....how can a saiyan fight like that and yet be so gentle that he wouldn't even hurt a fly...." . And when he needs to be aggressive, there is no stopping him. He will never give up even if it kills him. He is very noble of heart and always puts others ahead of himself.

"i like vegeta too. His attitude mind blowing. But the only drawback is his arrogance gets between his good judgements which caused him dearly many a times.

"And i like his catch phrase as well. You might have heard of it. It goes something like this "Kaaaaaa..........Mehhhhhh.................

"I broke into tears when he left with shenron. And also when he quoted "UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN!"

if its true that goku works harder, I am going to go with him!

hercule poirot or miss marple?

[Pompey Bum]

Poirot, I guess, although I'm not a big Agatha Christie fan, so I'm not really into either one.

Catching fish or eating the fish you catch?

[Lykren]

Eating! Fishing's boring, sorry.

Content or form?

[Clopin]

Content.

Elvis Presley or Costello?

[Lykren]

*BEEEEEEEEP* wrong answer! hahaha

Not listened much to either but probably Presley, Costello's voice I find annoying.

Tempestuous love or placid?

[Pompey Bum]

Two sides of the same coin: you can't have one without the other.

Bacon or chocolate?

[Lykren]

Bacon, you can eat more of it without getting sick.

Happy 2000th post!

Penguins or pandas?

[Pompey Bum]

Oh thank you. :)

Penguins: birds that swim; they're right out of the Island of Misfit Toys. Pandas are okay, but they are so overdone.

Flying foxes or naked mole rats?

[Lykren]

Haha, what do you take me for, some kind of pervert? Flying foxes!

Small cuddly animals or big cuddly animals?

[Pompey Bum]

Big dogs, so I guess big cuddly animals.

Low paying job with cultural integrity or high paying job with a month and a half paid vacation?

[Lykren]

Cultural integrity isn't a phrase I've encountered before, but that one, I think. But what do you mean exactly?

Sparkling water or plain?

[Pompey Bum]

Plain but pure. Like my women. (Just kidding).

Well, say as a librarian vs. a marketing analyst.

Anyway: women who want to talk about their cat or women who want to talk about your inherent sexism?
