Game: This or That

Jar of course :D. Plate suggest ready-to-eat :eek:.

Fork or spoon ?

Spoon, I need a steak-knife to go with the fork if I'm to eat my steak. I'll just stick to cookies on a plate. :p

Dire or strait?

Strait.

AC or DC ?

AC, it's great when it's summer and it's hot outside. :)

Berlin or Hamburg?

Irving Berlin makes better music than either Hamburg or the Earl of Sandwich.

Serendippity or Irony?

Irony- Socrates all the way!

Pictures or words?

Words.

Metaphor or Aliteration?

Metaphor- alliteration is pointless unless there's a reason behind it (like a snake hissing)

Email or phone?

Depends on who I'm talking to..but i like email because i can control how big a fool i make of myself :p

New book or secondhand?

Both especially if the secondhand books are Antiquarian!

pool or sea?

Secondhand- tells a story besides the written words. (And for the most part, I agree- I sound dumb enough when I know what I'm writing...)

Oh, sorry ! Sea. I love the freedom of open water.

Plays: Read it first or see it first?

I don't get to see very many plays, if any.

So, read.

Chewing gum or sucking candy

Chew gum. I dont know why though. when i was a kid i would have gone for candy.

wine or beer

Ive tasted both and find beer disgusting, so wine. It looks nicer anyway.

Claw or nail?

Rustling of each purple curtain
Thrilled me; filled me with fantastic
Terror never known before.

Alliteration is harder to use and, like salt, is best when used sparingly, but it is powerful stuff.

I'm wondering if maybe the question was meant to be, "metaphore or simile?"

Still, for all this regression and talk, I am very big on metaphone. I understand things better if I can compare them to something I'm already familiar with.

OK, onward!

The current question is, "claws or nails?"

Claws. Nails are beautiful, or broken, or bitten, or dirty, but claws are weapons!



So, what about it? Metaphore or simile?
