Shakespeare's Julius Caesar or The Tempest?
And how about the Venetian Water merchant, the Rokeby Venus, Christ Crucified, Las Meninas, the Surrender of Breda. :)
Haven't read them yet.
Ian McKellen's Richard III or Branagh's Henry V?
Neither one, really, but at least Branagh's was in period dress.
Prince Hal in Henry IV I & II or his eventual grown up self in Henry V (aka "Hank Cinq")?
The Prince.
Get on it, North Star!
And yes, there are other great Velazquez's I know :)
El Greco or Dali?
El Greco. I mean, I get it already, Sal.
Balethquez is a lot of fun, though.
Vanilla or French vanilla?
French. It tastes like Proust to me, hahaha.
El Greco for sure, of course.
Balzac or Stendhal?
Balzac
Nuclear power or coal?
Nukes.
Tight jeans or wide?
Not too tight, but not wide either. And yes, nukes for the time being.
Rare or well done beef?
Well done.
Reading about royalty or poor people?
Van Gogh was a poor person, right? ;)
I can't say I'm that interested in reading about either class in general, or of a random rep of the classes.
Reading about painters or composers?
Also neither.
Pink lemonade or yellow?

Brahms' Clarinet Quintet or Mozart's?
I think you are a bit unfair, especially to e.g. the Preludes & Fugues, the string quartets, the piano concertos. The melancholia is a part of Russian music in general, and it's not just angst.
But, I too prefer Sibelius.
Brahms
Prokofiev or Bartók?
Prokofiev by far.
And definitely pink lemonade.
Popcorn with or without butter?
With. Are you trying to starve me?
Nachos or calamari?
Nachos.
Marlowe's 'The Passionate Sheepheard to his Love' or Raleigh's 'The Nimphs Reply to the Sheepheard'?
Ah I like both, but I'll go with the original, Marlowe.
Goethe's Faust or Marlowe's Faust or Bulgakov's (kinda) Faust?
Goethe over Marlowe. Don't know the other one.
Fish or fowl?
Fish, though I don't eat either much.
Portland, Oregon or Portland, Maine?
ive only been to Portland Maine so from the perspective of wanting to see someplace new to me, id have to go with Portland Oregon.
matchbox cars or hotwheels?
Um, matchbox? Then I could always light the wheels to get them hot.
Scooby-doo or Mr. Peabody?
Mr. Peabody... I could never understand the allure of Scooby Doo.
Impressionistic or Art Deco ?
Of the two, impressionism, I suppose. But I remember the art deco diners of my youth very fondly. Nothing chrome can last. :)
Highly accurate memory or nostalgia (which would you prefer?)
Ham
Felines or canines ?
Canines. Genuine without attitude or pretension.
Fish or hamsters?
Fish. Hamsters are too hard to get on the grill.
Laptop or tablet?
Laptop.... received my first tablet yesterday (Kindle Fire); easier to write on laptop.
Apples or oranges ?
oranges for sure, but I like apples too...
Lincoln logs or tinker toys?
Lincoln logs. Tinker toys are for kids!
Plastic dinosaurs or transformers?
Transformers of course, and the (animated, not the recent live action ones) movie and T.V shows which were on when I was a kid were awesome.
Pokemon, Digimon or Monster Rancher?
Uh, none of those? Fine, Pokemon.
Climbing trees or walking through them?
Walking through if no one really wants to give me a lift.
Yellowstone or Yosemite?
I dunno, I've only been to Yosemite. How about my room? :D
Lisp or rhotacism?
I lead a bike trip out west many years ago, Yellowstone was one of the places we went, its well worth the visit.
I think id have to go slightly with the lisp.
seven of nine or jadzia dax?
Seven of Nine. I usually prefer brunettes, but in her case I never really focused on the hair.
Chopsticks or fork (when eating Chinese food?)
I like trying chopsticks, but my dexterity with them isn't enough that I shouldn't answer fork.
star trek: the next generation or star trek, the original series?
Series: original
Star Wars iv-vi or i-iii ?
I-III are unholy abominations.Quote:
