Plain or Bar-b-q chips/crisps ?
BBQ, but in small quantities.
Baltimore rioters: "thugs" or "misguided young people"?
Well some of them are what we could call thugs and some of them aren't. At least this time the police probably actually did the thing they're rioting over, though I haven't followed it as closely as I did Ferguson.
Racial pride parades/days/months, something positive and useful for communities and people or vile racism which should be done away with?
I don't know if I would call them vile but I am not a fan of them. I do think they serve to put more focus on are differences and some individual will always feel excluded because they don't identify with the group that others try and label them as.
Abstract or Surreal
Abstract in painting; both in film
Realism or Naturalism?
Abstract by far. Surrealism is fun, but it's kind of a dumb down.Quote:

Straight ties or bow ties?
i don't like either on me, but if im forced to choose, I say straight ties.
on others though, its interesting to note who can pull off bow ties and who cannot.
the coyote or the roadrunner?
I asked that before, and Clopin responded: "The coyote of course." Personally I enjoy a prosperous neutrality.
Of cottage cheese: large or small curd?
small curds, with lots of black pepper!
ah...well then...hmmm...
the Tasmanian devil or marvin the martian?
My favorite WB cartoon character is Elmer Fudd. I know he's not very PC, but I'm still reduced to jello when he cries like a baby because he can't "bwast" Bugs ("WAAAAA-HAAA-HAAA! I'll nebah bwast dat scwewy wabbit!). But given the choice above, I'd probably go with masculine energies of the Tasmanian Devil. Marvin the Martian is too--unpredictable? He's not a "regular guy" in any case.
Bluto or Brutus (as the name for Popeye's main rival)?
ah you presaged my next question of elmer fudd or Yosemite sam! laughs...
I think the earlier version was bluto and it changed later to brutus. I have to go with brutus because it sounds more nemesis-y. plus bluto is rendered somewhat comical but his namesake played by john belushi in animal house.
daffy duck or Donald duck?
My Daffy's better than my Donald voice!
Avengers or Justice League?
Avengers
Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
milk chocolate
sweet tooth or do you crave "carby" foods?
Sweet tooth, especially for ice cream. I have to limit myself to only birthdays or things could get ugly.
Going to maximum security prison for life without a chance of parole, or execution (of the two, which would you choose?).
Execute me please, i would be eaten alive in prison. Though Assuming it's a prison where I won't be raped, stabbed or beaten by other inmates then of course I would rather go there and just read for the rest of my life.
Should prisons be harsh and punishment oriented or relaxed and oriented on rehabilitation?
That is a tough one but if I am alive there is always s chance. I could always work on plotting an escape maybe the chance us very slim of it working but not impossible and I could find a way to take my own life if I had enough. So I would say life because that way I can still keep fighting or choose to end my own life.
To me it depends on the crime. I think there are some people who cannot be rehabilitated and some crimes where I think harsh punishment is called for. It should be case by case.
Summer Olympics or Winter Olympics?
Winter by far, I only care about team Canada and I barely ever watch the summer Olympics for that reason.
Double gold in hockey, suck it.
Chess or Darts (as an Olympic "sport")?
oh please can I say neither?? what an athletic bastardization that its even being talked about/considered/decided upon---wherever they are in the process. but if I had to chose, id say darts. at least there is some motor skill and control involved.
the original mony mony by tommy james and the shondells or the remake by billy idol?
Billy Idol
Movies or Stage Plays?
I gave up going out to see movies years ago. I don't miss that experience at all. And I haven't gone to a play for even longer, but I miss that experience quite a bit. So plays.
Chimpanzes or orangutans?
Orangutans (more peaceful than chimps).
Standard transmission or automatic?
Automatic. I associate standards with my midlife crisis.
Long farewells or just leaving?
Just leaving.
If you had no choice for a holiday(vacation): City or Rural?
Rural and remote.
Crowds or spaces?
Spaces
Oceanside or lakeside ?
Grew up with oceans, growing fond of lakes. But either one, as long as it's empty.
French fries or onion rings?
Onion rings.
Active holiday or relaxing holiday?
Relaxing, I hate activity and most forms of fun.
Mountains or Oceans (as interactive scenery)?
Oceans, but I am biased.
Abstract expressionist art or Representative art?
Abstract expressionist art..not even close. Purely representative art is craft, not art.
Coleridge or Wordsworth?
Do your prefer Booker prize or Pulitzer prize? - in terms of taste.
They're both politically compromised, and the Booker becomes harder to discern since they started allowing American authors, but I've preferred the Booker's shortlists and finalists in the last 20 years. They definitely hit a home run when they gave Banville the prize for The Sea. He's the greatest English/Irish novelist since Woolf and Joyce.Quote:

Raging Bull or Taxi Driver?

Paradise Lost or Dante's Inferno
Inferno, though both are great.
Balzac or Rabelais?
