[verybaddmom]

long term or casual?

[amuse]

great idea *crinkles nose with delight at thought of thread

[verybaddmom]

sahara, if i have lots and lots of water

always in the middle or on the extreme?

(now stop emailing me, i have writing to do....hehe)

[emily655321]

LOL Good luck VB!

Always always on the extreme end. It seems like all or nothing with me.

Do you ever stop in the middle of reading/writing and realize that the spelling/pronunciation/sound of one of your own language's words all of a sudden seems totally alien to you?

[IWilKikU]

uh... your suposed to ask an either/or question.

[den]

seeds or plantlings? (I just started some morning glory and sweet pea seeds)

[amuse]

seeds. there's nothing like seeing a faint bit of green against a bit of brown earth appear, and watching it grow.

very tempted to ask bush or kerry, but instead:
ornate or understated?

[IWilKikU]

Not sure what you mean, so I'm going with your first temptation. Kerry of course *wonders if Amuse actaully expected anyone to answer otherwise, except for maybe E. Lee*

Don't worry Admin, the politics end there. I'll ask a nice question about nice things like niceness! :D:D:D

Nice, or Naughty? ;)

[verybaddmom]

naughty IS nice, so that's not much of a question.

new or used?

[IWilKikU]

Good answer!

For books, used. For underpants, uh... new?
:p

Anne Boleyn or Catherine of Aragon?

[emily655321]

Originally posted by IWilKikU
uh... your suposed to ask an either/or question.

D'oh and Verdammen. A venial sin. :p

Catherine, totally. She rocked.

Pancakes or waffles? (so hungry)

[verybaddmom]

waffles

with fruit topping or syrup??

[emily655321]

Syrup for waffles. Except I prefer pancakes, and then it's strawberry-mushy-stuff (if we have it).

apple juice or apple cider?

[verybaddmom]

cider, hot and spicy with cranberry juice

western medicine or holistic healing?

[emily655321]

They both go too far, IMO. It takes the physical and the mental to overcome an ailment, but seeing as I don't believe in the power of accupuncture or herbs to cure me, it wouldn't help me much anyway. So... western, with a dash of one's own brain power to amplify the benefits.

Oops not a this or that - editing - Wilde paper: done or not?

[verybaddmom]

not

ceremonial essay burning: a do or a don't?

[emily655321]

and btw, morals, if my bills are paid...

chai or regular tea?

[emily655321]

:p That's okay, don't bother you silly self. :p :p

Black tea only, and only when I'm out in a restaurant and everyone else is getting tea or coffee. Hate coffee and not huge on tea, as it is.

On the rocks or straight? (anything that comes to mind)

[verybaddmom]

rocks, as many rocks as fit

go to sleep when sleepy or push yourself to the point of exhaustion?

[emily655321]

the latter, and how. Till I drop. I have a weird aversion to getting into bed and just lying there. Guess I hate realizing I've wasted another day.

AC or fan?

[verybaddmom]

fan...accompanied by a chilled spray bottle (the ones used for misting plants)

drama or horror?

[emily655321]

Usually drama. (I put horror in the "camp comedy" genre, so it really depends on my mood. I don't waste my movie-theater-funds on horror unless I'm out being silly with friends, though.)

Laptop or comp/monitor?

[verybaddmom]

desktop for me. my boyfriend has the laptop
hehe...he has the laptop....


small pets: bird or hamster?

[emily655321]

[verybaddmom]

warmer warmer warmer hot hot hot hotter hottest....there we are

vhs or dvd?

(is this a repeat? im sure it must be)

[emily655321]

LOL. And no, actually, you're the first. VHS -- don't have a DVD player yet, but they seem so screwed up anyway. I've never seen anyone operate one successfully on the first try -- or the fourth, for that matter.

chat rooms or message boards, mostly?

[verybaddmom]

Message boards only...and this one is the only one im faithful to, i sort of browse some others in my (HAHA) spare time, but this one i check more often than i check my voice mail.

ICQ or MSN?

[emily655321]

Yahoo. I think it's the only one you can get on a Mac. *Damn you, GATES!!*

LOL all I can think of are food ones... okay, here's one:
the BACK button: link on site OR button on window?

[IWilKikU]

Better, button on the left side of my mouse. I have a forward on the right side.

Taco or Burrito?

[papayahed]

taco

mustard or ketchup?

[Sancho]

Burrito. I don't like to have to turn my head sideways to eat a taco. Maybe if my teeth worked side to side instead of up and down, but then eating corn on the cob would be problematic.

Bean or chicken?

[Sancho]

Whoops!

Ketchup.

Kethup or Catsup?

[IWilKikU]

Chicken, and Catsup, but not at the same time.

Hegenomy or Survival?

[Sancho]

Anarchy

Heroism or Heedlessness

[emily655321]

[verybaddmom]

hehe, wood grained console....

seasonal lights: solid or mulitcolored?

[emily655321]

Oh my, stone age. :p

tiny white lights. (the first year my dad's let me put them somewhere other than the tree -- woohoo! they were so pretty)

driveway: paved or gravel/dirt

[verybaddmom]

paved

holiday: relaxing and laid back or adventuresome and adrenaline boosting?

[emily655321]

comatose and hot chocolate/lemonade (depending on holiday)

Oh, I put my "this or that" in the other thread. Oh well.
cat toys: factory produced -or- this-and-that they find on the floor, shoelaces, etc.

[verybaddmom]

found goodies..i once watched my gigantic cat chase a grape around the kitchen for hours, was the funniest thing i had seen in a while...

mugs or cups?

[emily655321]

Hehe. Arlo-kitten once took a single pea off my mother's plate and played with it on the carpet for ten minutes.

mugs, even for juice and stuff. If I'm drinking other than my water bottle, which is rare.

hankies or tissues

[GapingStarling]

Tissues.

Standard or automatic?

[emily655321]

automatic (and enough trouble with that as it is!)

coke/pepsi or clear soda?

[papayahed]

beach

[IWilKikU]

Fruit juice.

Flowers or houseplants?

[emily655321]

flowers outside, potted plants inside.

basketball sneakers or chucks? (if you have them)

[IWilKikU]

I don't know what 'chucks' are, and I don't own any basketball sneakers. I've got flipflops and a pair of Etnies (prefer DC's but they're hard to come by in the UK).

Flowers or Chocolate? If you're a girl which do you prefer to recieve, if you're a guy, which do you usually give?

[emily655321]

Chucks are the kind Bart Simpson and emo kids wear, with the star on the inside. It was a lame question, I just couldn't think of another one. :p

Flowers if they're still in dirt. Don't kill plants for me, it's unnecessary. Chocolate is creepy, personally, because I don't like eating in front of people and I'd be morally obliged to share it with you. I would prefer a kiss on the cheek.

First date movie: comedy or drama

[GapingStarling]

I'd rather receive flowers.

Beer -- pale or dark?

[Sancho]

Dark, Chuck E. Taylors all the way and both flowers and cholate of course.

Wealth or Fame?

[emily655321]

whoo. too quick for ya. I don't drink, so ... wealth or fame.... just enough to get by...oh and build myself a complete replica of Bag End to live out my life as a hermit. No one must know. Shh.

Damnit I've used all the ideas on my desk. Uh.. so, pillows: one or two?

[Sancho]

I don’t type fast enough for this game. I took college typing; I use two fingers.

I think we have about fifty. Which may explain this herniated disc that's got me off of work today.

Arrrr, my mind is a blank. Rice or noodles?

[emily655321]

LOL I'm a fast-ish typer, slow question-thinker-upper. It was either typing or shop class to fulfill the tech requirement...ugh.

white sticky rice. nummy nummy. awful for your teeth.

Continuing with the "I-spy" theme here, is the moulding in your house wood or painted?

[Sancho]

I’ve got a little of each. Some poorly painted molding and some poorly stained molding. This place is sort of a testament to the fact that I’m a whole lot better at starting projects than finishing them.

Annuals or Perennials?

[emily655321]

My dad does the gardening. I have imaginary allergies to the outdoors, in that I glow in the sunlight and fry crispy, and every insect within a five-mile radius hears me step outside and comes for dinner. But I believe all the stuff in our yard is perennial.

the beach: sandy or rocky

[Sancho]

Rocky all the way. I love poking around in tidal pools and playing that game: should I touch it?

Atlantic or Pacific?

[emily655321]

Thank you! Moulting crabs are so much more fun than **eek** sun bathing.
Never seen the Pacific, but I prefer grey and wavey to blue and misty, so Atlantic. Gotta go wash dishes now, I'm being creeched at. See you later.

TV dinner: microwave or oven?

[amuse]

oven. i love the real smell of food cooking, rather than zappy olfactory fakes.

share or steal the covers?

*thought i'd posted in the wrong thread again, but hadn't go Figure!

[IWilKikU]

I sleep through anything so my girlfriend steals them and I wake up cold in the morning :(.

[amuse]

sorry kik, i just want her to cook for me ;)

[IWilKikU]

polite to people I don't know very well, and when I drive.

What do you drive?

[Stanislaw]

Beatup 80's GMC pick-up

Money or Love?

[amuse]

money: you can always buy a new heart. ;)

[emily655321]

I'm short. But I'm like two inches taller in my boots, so... nah, I'm just short. :(

Refrigerator: freezer on top -or- side by side?

[Koa]

side by side? in my house we now have the freezer below the fridge bit, like most I've seen... but in the old one that made us spent a wonderful summer of hot water and rotting food last year after 20 years of good service, well the freezer was on top...and tiny tiny tiny, we never could have more than 2 frozen pizzas otherwise there wouldnt have been room for antyhing else... why are we always talking of food? why am i talking so much about bloody freezers????

Nutella or Whipped Cream? :D:D:D

[IWilKikU]

How 'bout Nutella w/ Whipped Cream on top?

Peas or Green Beans?

[ajoe]

peas

lurker or stalker?

[emily655321]

Do you mean which am I or which would I prefer? And what's the difference? I suppose I'd prefer to be lurked, because at least then they wouldn't bother me. Unless one is more susceptible than the other to homicidal tendencies... I need more information to answer this. :p

Sexless love -or- loveless sex?

[dhm]

Gosh you're straight to it aren't you emily? :)

I'll go sexless love with the proviso you can work on the sex (but it's harder to work on love)

Happy denial or harsh reality?

[emily655321]

:D That's me.

I'm a harsh reality kind of girl, as most people here can tell you. Happiness is never an excuse for denial, i.m.o. -- or anything else, for that matter. Exactly why I'm an agnostic Liberal. (*gasp* controversial statement!)

Planting stuff: seedlings or seeds?

[verybaddmom]

seeds for most things, although sometimes a lack of time forces me to the nursery for seedlings. oh, and impulse shopping...i cant pass a greenhouse without just "checking it out" and if i have my wallet and they take debit, we dont eat for three days, but we enjoy very much looking at the pretty flowers....

[IWilKikU]

I suck at both, but I respect Chess more.

[dhm]

lol. Press snooze; a number of times.

Music Jazz or rock?

[amuse]

oh crap i keep mixing the threads!

classic rock but i might switch to jazz during commericals, as long as it's not the phrenetic stuff.

envelopes: letter opener or manual?

[verybaddmom]

manual...

typing: pick and poke or speedy?

[amuse]

speedy but lately i've noticed my fingers typing words all by themselves, like my brain is throwing little curve balls or something. so i need to slow down.

nice segue there! :)

movie popcorn or treats from your jacket pocket? :eek:

[verybaddmom]

ooohhh, definitely treats from my pocket...usually pretzels mmm.

msn or yahoo? (or icq or whatever?)


and thank you, im normally not nearly so concise. generally i include a ton of superfluous detail, like this addendum.

[amuse]

ah, but great vocab when you do!

mostly yahoo, sometimes msn. no idea what icq is though, except a lonely q without a u. will google. *oh, i get it. :)

pretzels: plain, chocolate covered, yoghurt, sans salt, rods, oh there are tons aren't there...which do you like the best?

[amuse]

*chocolate or yoghurt covered?

[verybaddmom]

thank you...i giggled over the poor lonely 'q'.
*got a mental image of guy in trenchcoat (on sesame street?), opening one side of the coat with his arm outstretched, to ask out of the corner of his mouth "wanna buy a "Q"?*

salty, rods if available

recycle or chuck it out?

edit: did i really just answer that pretzel question in that manner??? *blush*

[amuse]

recycle, but:

tiny old items: hoard or purge?

[amuse]

OHNO!!! yes you DID! :D :D :D :D
*falls on ground - help!!!!

[verybaddmom]

argh..
i decided ages ago that i would not edit any of my posts for content. i agreed with myself that i could repair bad spelling (gotta salvage some pride!), but sometimes i wish that i had no integrity...the problem is: if i break that deal and erase the stupid stuff, then i'd know about it...right now i am on a current cease-fire within myself, but the peace is vacillating and instable.

hoard, if they fit in baskets...

books....neatly organized or stacked on floor and chairs (and tables, and desks etc)?

[amuse]

everywhere, everywhere, though a line of them do look very neat and proper, i say in a very Mary Poppins flashback.
used to sleep with my books but my bf objected.

[verybaddmom]

plastic

Beach or mountain retreat?

[Jay]

Summer of winter?

[emily655321]

"Summer of winter," it sounds like a movie title. :p Uh -- Winter, absolutely no contest. Summer is a horrible, hot, humid, buggy type of thing and I'm so glad it's only three months out of the year. And Winter has all the good holidays in it, come on! :D

12-hour clock or army time?

[papayahed]

12-hour clock

digital or analog

[emily655321]

analog. except in the car or on the alarm clock.

Alarm clock: radio or beeping alarm? (or, in my case, what sounds like a smoke detector and scares the bejeezus out of me in the middle of the night when I set it incorrectly, which is frequently, even though I've had it since I was seven. You really didn't need to know all that.)

[Sancho]

Don't really need an alarm clock when you have a cat named "Bruno." When on the road, "BEEEEP"

CNN or FOX (or CBN Canadians or BBC British)

[emily655321]

Good God. CNN. When the House is in recess on C-SPAN, and I don't feel like waiting for Jim Lehrer. Go directly to the *yawn* source, I say. Unless that source is the White House. Then go to The Daily Show. :D

[Jay]

Do I really have to? If there's no other way, disco.

orange choc or mint choc?

[emily655321]

(If you do or should you in an alternate universe choose to reveal your lovely face to the world via the internet): photo or webcam?

(Ps this is a great thread- kudos to the first poster).

I'm a new comer here and find this game great fun so I have an impulse to join in. hehe.
I'll choose the things that I haven't done.

shall we go on this game or stop it here?

[emily655321]

Why, we shall go on! dhm -- many many opportunities yet to do, never an opportunity to take back. Some pretty dumb things routinely slip out of my mouth, and I just never seem to let go of the embarrassment. The things I have done, is my answer.

A tough one (RE: Kik's Moore/:DFRANKEN:D question. hehe.): Lewis Black or Al Franken?

[papayahed]

Al Franken

Jay Leno or David Letterman

[emily655321]

meh... Letterman. He's mean, but not as annoying.

[Shea]

Hmm, I guess seltzer. Is that the same as club soda? In other words I prefer it without the syrup!

frozen yogurt or ice cream?

[GapingStarling]

Ice cream. Mmmm... :)

Cleaning -- Monica from Friends, or Pigpen from Charlie Brown?

[IWilKikU]

Pigpen, cause I'm sloppy, AND I lothe Friends.

Friends or Seinfeld?

[ajoe]

Friends

Which would you rather be true: ManBeef.com or Bonsai Kitten?

Better piercing: eyebrow or below bottom lip?

[emily655321]

Whoops! No steak and no sauce. :D

same question

[verybaddmom]

that one under the bottom lip (for the life of me cant remember what it's called..) is terribly cool looking, when done right, and the eyebrow has that scary nerve in it...so i go with the under lip one..

do i ever remind you of one of those really annoying contestants on "who wants to be a millionaire?" that has to explain the reason for each answer??
yes or no

[Shea]

No, I like your insight.

gold or silver?

[emily655321]

silver.

And thanks VBM! I've been trying to decide forever, and I had just come to that decision myself. But more for the reason that EVERYONE has an eyebrow ring right now it seems.

Copper or brass?

[Shea]

umm, copper? only cause it makes me think of money. (Pennies and such...)

E-books or literal books?

[emily655321]

real books. preferably really old antique ones. (I have a first edition Animal Farm. Got it for 3 bucks at the flea market. Haha! The oldest I have is a school history primer from 1840 I think.)

hard cover or paperback?

[Shea]

Hard cover definately, but only if I can get them cheap.

Sell back lit books for college, or keep them?

[verybaddmom]

omg keep them....
i am moving in two months and my bf is already concerned about moving my books; last time i moved they were labelled so that the first box said "books" and the next box said "more books" and then they went into "i know, more @#%! books" etc. a whole pickup load just for books...would be much better if i didnt have the gypsy feet that push me to move every six months....i think i move only to have a chance to touch all my books...

move alot or stay in one place as long as possible?

[Shea]

stay as long as possible! (BTW, any ideas to convince my husband that I should not sell back my books?)

I guess that could consitute as the next question!:)

[emily655321]

One place. But you already knew that. Ideally, travel constantly with one home to come back to all the time.

Glass: crystal cut or smooth?

[Shea]

Oh, sorry "this or that" I forgot.

When composing: computer or pen and paper?

[Shea]

same question

[emily655321]

LMAO computer.

[Shea]

Aaak! how confusing!:p

[verybaddmom]

-you will use them for reference in the future.
-they will appreciate and gather equity
-they have sentimental value
-they are important to you
-if the books go, then so do the *insert thing he hoards*
-they make you both look like intellectuals
-the hold the house still in the event of a hurricane
-who sells books?

[verybaddmom]

OMG this is crazy confusing...i have to go now...work beckons, and my small brain cannot handle all this double and triple posting

[Shea]

I think I'll print that list baddmom, thanks!

do we have a question?

Umm, long nails or short?

[verybaddmom]

long, french tips (acrylic sculpture)

dentist: love 'em, or hate 'em

[emily655321]

Short, if I'm in the mood to cut them. Never claws though.

electric or oil heat?

[Shea]

I guess neutral, I'm not scared, but it's an annoying obligation.

best toys for kids: handmade or storebought?

[emily655321]

Oops!! :p I got nothing against dentists.

same question

[Shea]

Oh, boy not again, oh well got to study for my final, see you! :)

[emily655321]

Oh, okay, I was just about to say I'd cut out. :p Have fun.

Answer: depends who's making them. And on the child. Half and half, I guess.

uhm... eating out: lunch or dinner?

[Shea]

Well, I usually do lunch, being a college student, but I'd much rather do dinner.

micro or macro economics?

[story645]

taking both next year because I coudn't choose, but I guess macro

ACT's or SAT's?

[emily655321]

SAT's.. more widely accepted/required. And no test is worth YOU having to pay 75 bucks, unless your transcript really sucks.

Literature Lecture or Creative Writing?

[amuse]

depends on the instructor, the texts...aside from that, i'd choose the lecture. would end up exposed to more tried and true lit that way.

home remedies (like sleep) for pain or the drugstore?

[emily655321]

Considering lack of sleep and other non-viral causes are usually responsible for my ailments... I head for the drugstore. :p How ugly-American am I?

nail polish: better on guys or girls?

[amuse]

yerp!
girls. i'm so traditional.

if your nail breaks do you cover it with a fake thing? um fake nail?
