Game: This or That

I'll go with Turquoise but my favorite gem is aquamarine. Brazil is known for its semi precious stones:https://naturalgemstones.com/educati...ined-in-brazil


Onix, Orix or Orenoco ?

Beautiful gems...

Orinoco https://www.bing.com/videos/rivervie...3C&FORM=VRDGAR, Onyx, and Oryx :)

Sea Pearls, Cultured Pearls, Freshwater Pearls, or Pearls of Wisdom ?

Love this music but always thought the name was "Sail Away". Thanks for the link, tailor !

Not so keen on pearls in general, except as an investment. I live in a country where one can't wear jewelry. So pearls of wisdom.

Maxims, quotations or Aphorisms?

Aphorisms

Hard shell taco, soft shell, tortilla, something else?

Quotations and Aphorisms... to a lesser degree maxims.
Soft shell and/or tortilla.

Dickinson, Dante, Dilatants, or Descartes ?

Dante
Ericsson, Elisson or Elisabeth Bishop?

Ellison https://allpoetry.com/Henry-Ellison and Bishop :)

Short story: Anton Chekhov, Alice Munro, Flannery O'Connor, or Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie ?

Lol! Enjoyed his sense of humour. Didn’t know him. The Elison I had in mind was Ralph Ellison ( 2lls not 2 ss, sorry)

Chimamanda.

Actresses: Lina Lolobrigida, Sophia Loren,Catherine Deneuve or Romy Schneider?

Gina, Sophia, and Brigitte Bardot (R.I.P.)... don't know the others.

Actors: Orson Wells, Jim Cary, Peter Sellers, or other ?

RIP Brigitte Bardot, actress and animal activist!

Orson Welles!

Film Directors: David Lynch, Orson Wells or Francis Ford Coppola?

Coppola

Coffee or Tea?

I'm not really into directors, nor actors/actresses... give me a film with "meat" in it (idiomatically).

"Oxford" comma, semicolons, ellipses, or syntactical Armageddon ?

Hi papayahed ! you snuck in just ahead of me finishing my thought processes :)

Have to go with herbal teas, especially peppermint :)

Lol!

Elipses and syntactic Armageddons.

Love black tea but stopped drinking it because of the sugar.

Colors to wear for new year: white, blue or others?

??? Hawaiian shirts for sure... just counted 31 of them (wearing one now) with maybe some more squirreled away :)

Same question ?
