Studio I really don't care for recorded live music.
French Fires or Onion Rings?
Fries
Apple or Cherry Pie?
Apple. And the recorded live music one is big with me, going back, yea, to my youth. Most recorded rock music blows because instead of getting a new album of new songs, you get a live album on which the songs don't sound notably different from the original studio recording, i.e., a total waste. With progressive rock, jazz, blues, fusion and rock that's played by the better rock musicians out there, though, live is everything, mon, everything.
And bounty, what's this I've never had hemorrhoids thing? Seriously? You sir, are a lucky man.
A dose of embarrassment or an equal dose of pain?
I have a high threshold for pain and it doesn't bother me that much, so a dose of pain. I am used to be being rather accident prone.
with that
tattoo or piercing?
Piercing. I had one at one point, as mentioned aforetime this evening, in me ear. Tattoos, on the other hand, I wouldn't get for love or money.
Potato salad or bean dip?
laughs...and hopefully i'll be one of two out of three people who don't get shingles either!
and bean drop sounds great! with tortilla chips...
tyrion, im listening to tomoyasu hotei as im writing. do you know him? I half suspect youd like some of his music...
star wars or star trek?
Star Wars for more realistic aliens, Star Trek for the adventures.
Country or Rock music?
Rock. I respect the talent and technical accomplishment of many country musicians, and that goes double for bluegrass, but I's a rock boy.
bounty, yes, Tomoyasu is cool.
Hostile ETs landing in an Illinois wheat field or Godzilla rising out of the ocean off the coast of Maine?
the fun thing about a large segment of today's country music is its merging with rock, or at least pop rock.
absolutely give a listen Miranda lambert's fastest girl in town, carrie underwood's cowboy Casanova, gloriana's trouble, and reba McIntyre's going out like that.
if you want some male artist recommendations after you've eaten those songs up, lemme know! smiles...
tyrion, will you check out blind joe's audition on the voice? if it hadn't been for love, by the steeldrivers.
hmmm, that's a toughie. I don't like for anyone to get hurt, or anything for that matter...I think since we already know how to defeat Godzilla, id go with him.
been a while since ive asked this: mary ann or ginger?
I'm a mary ann
Luke or Han?
Han. I bet he secretly had the Force to be able to fly the way he did!
Darth Vader or The Emperor?
The Emperor had margarine face but a cool voice which I spent ages doing a rather good impression of after Return of the Jedi came out, to the delight and hilarity of my friends. (That's why you should always take me to Tupperware parties.) Also, he's ultimately scarier than Darth, so I think I have to vote Emperor.
Spending your Saturday night shaving your privates and watching M*A*S*H reruns, or out with the prettiest gal in town, dancing the night away like giddy teenagers, then being invited back to her place for carnal sin?
Haha, the old fish or cut bait paradigm. I'd rather fish.
Okay, a night at the opera or a day in the park?
It's no contest.Quote:

Groucho Harpo and Chico, or Larry Curly and Moe?
Now that's a tough one.Quote:

Elton John, or my childhood never would have been the same.
Laser hair removal or roast Long Island duckling?
pen have you seen the Seinfeld episode where jerry is courting this hot blooded latin woman and he makes some reference to the three stooges? she's not familiar with them and so she says "tell me about the stooges"---its cute.
im a vegetarian, and im a guy so the laser hair removal has no appeal either but i'll go with that one on feminine cultural principal...
the three stooges or abbott & Costello?
Nyuk-Nyuk-Nyuk
Stooges, hands down.
Curly or Shemp?
(I used to own a T-shirt emblazoned with a picture of Shemp Howard and lettering which proclaimed: Legalize Shemp!)
Curly (and not Curly Joe) hands down, story over, didn't even hafta think about it. I still use: "top of the morn'n to ya... the rest of the day for myself" from the Stooges.
WC Fields or Jerry Lewis ?
WC Fields 'cause he smoked cigars, which used to dun, and liked it.
Driving an ordinary car as fast as you like, or driving a Lamborghini within the speed limit?
the interesting thing there is, when im on the highway with no particular hurry, I enjoy driving well under the speed limit, enjoying the scenery, and listening to music. i'll speed up to the limit if there is a car behind me but as soon as they are allowed to pass, i'll slow down and pull over a bit to the right. aggravatingly enough, the majority of cars slow down with me, sometimes agonizingly so (lemmings!), and miss the opportunity to pass, causing me to have to speed back up to the limit until the next passing section arises. usually after the second invitation, they get the idea.
I suppose driving the Lamborghini within the speed limit would be like having a chaperoned lunch date with a nymphomaniac? one would wonder what the point would be. perhaps one gets a sense of the unbridled power, but it seems rather a frustrating tease. so id go with the ordinary car.
musicals---cats or phantom of the opera?
Phantom of the Opera
Dracula or Frankenstien's Monster?
Dracula, 'cause if the Count bites me, I get to rise as the undead--long a life goal of mine--whereas the monster would only dismember me, snap my spine and spray my viscera on the cobblestones.
An average looking woman who was never hostile, aggravating or willful, or a total knockout with all the above qualities?
absolutely the first. there is a bible proverb that actually touches on that:
25:24--Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.
dry sauna or steam room?
Steam room. Good for the skin, don't ya know.
Intestinal parasite that keeps you on the toilet for a week or being young and really good-looking?
despite some suffering having purifying qualities, a penchant towards masochism, and equating being young with a lack of wisdom, I think id go with the latter...
a murder mystery or a political/legal thriller?
A murder mystery. Neither are genres I like, but I'd sooner squirt grapefruit juice in my eye than expose myself to politics.
Colonoscopy or rectal exam?
rectal exam
bubonic plague or small pox?
Plague
cupcake or muffin
I certainly would not kick a cupcake off my plate but hands-down its the muffin. similar shape, similar texture, just enough sweetness to not make you miss the cupcake, and much better for you too!
have asked this before---though the time of the year for us northern hemisphere folks is off---popsicle, creamsicle or fudgesicle?
creamsicle
A gourmet dinner with an elegant lady, followed by dancing and lovemaking, or having your testicles crushed by a freefalling elevator?
my sense of masochistic asceticism does not extend that far, so im going with the former. of course the type of dancing matters too...laughs...
a night of social/ballroom dancing or square & round dancing?
I will say ballroom preferably if it is a Masquerade ball
Going to a free concert in a park in which the music playing might not be your favorite genre or listening to a recording of your favorite band?
A recording. At home, comfortably, with privacy, no one around, endless pots of tea and easy access to a toilet. My days of attending large outdoor events, or, perhaps, even indoor ones, are over. I'll leave that to the kids with their mud and porta potties.
NY strip sirloin prepared perfectly, with onions and mushrooms, green beans with toasted almonds, braised potatoes and a fine Merlot, or jumping on a bicycle only to discover too late that it lacks a seat?
im a vegetarian and a teetotaler so im going to trust my experience with bicycles can prevent any damage to sensitive and important areas...smiles...but if you could change the menu, id probably go with that.
music from your youth or music from now?
That question is basically modern classical from the 00s or from the 10s to me. Most of the classical composers I know from that time wrote much of their music before that, though.. I'm saying now on the strength of Karl Henning, Ivan Moody, and some others I forget now..Quote:

You're an evil bastard, so you are, North Star. ;-) You're forcing me to bid farewell to the Beatles, you wicked, wicked man, if man you be. And early Pink Floyd, and Hendrix, Cream, all the great psychedelic music of the 60s... Hm, this is harder than I thought. I think, ultimately, though, I'd have to choose the music that came after 1970, simply because there's more of it, for me, and in certain cases it's the music I couldn't live without.
Would you rather have a gorgeous face and an unimpressive body, or an unimpressive face and a gorgeous body?
im going to presume the gorgeous body has a much desired athletic utility to it, so hands down in that direction. by contrast, the gorgeous face is more or less eye candy that some, too many, people would resent or be suspicious of.
have used this one before a long time ago: betty or veronica?
