Going to a World Cup final or to an Olympic Games day?
Neither! I'm no fan of games.
Fish,chicken or meat?
chicken
Harry Potter or Star Wars?
Harry Potter
Films or series?
Hm, that's a multifaceted issue. Great films have been made for a hundred years, but while there are of course classic series from near the beginning of the TV era, the format has really matured in the era of Netflix and HBO. There are much more great films than series in the history of moving pictures, but lately I've found series like The Wire, Mad Men, Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Band of Brothers, Foyle's War more rewarding than movies. So series it is...
Ballet or opera?
Opera. In fact it depends on the production in each case. I like good ballets also, but I am a fan of a good narrative.
Not all American series are shown on open TV. Brazilian series production has matured of late and some of them have won international awards, but their distribution is still restricted to some countries. So I prefer movies specially the great masters of the 20C.
19C or avant garde poetry?
19th century poetry.
Computer or ipad?
PC definitely. I have a tablet with Android.I use it only when I travel.
Car or bycicle?
Bycicle, love it.
King Kong or Godzilla?
Cheeta!
Instrumental music or songs?
Songs!
Biographies or True Crime?
papayahed!
you know, I have a few true crime books and ive not read them, but I love most of the biographies ive read. so a no brainer choice on that one.
salsa or hot sauce?
Bounty!
I can live on Taco Bell Hot Sauce so I'll go with that. (The food used to be good but something happened in the early 2000's)
Board games or Card games?
Cardboard games
Eggs or bacon?
papayahed, I still love their bean burritos---yes with lots of hot sauce.
I bought an "international gift pack" of hot sauce on sale after Christmas that ive not opened yet, pretty soon though.
oh for sure board games over card games.
im a vegetarian, so neither for me right now but when I used to eat them---hmm, a touch choice, i'll go with bacon. the memory of waking up to the smell of it cooking sunday mornings is a good one.
papayahed, this one is just for you---or at least inspired by you:
grover or yoda?? laughs...
Grover!
Lasagna or Bolognese?
Bolognese Lasagna, the Sunday classic.
Beatles or Rolling Stones?
Beatles... can't live without the moss.
Red Hot Chili Peppers or Beastie Boys ?
I have to confess I am not all that familiar with the beastie boys but generally speaking, I don't like hip-hop, and I do like some of what I know from the red hot chili peppers, so i'll go with them.
of books: a murder mystery or science fiction or western?
I prefer a good western, there is more adventure in it.
Soul or jazz?
Maybe jazz.
If you could choose, you would be an actor or a musician?
I would prefer acting certainly. Have done a bit of amateur acting during university.
Social nets or thematic forums?
ah the choice say between facebook, or here...oh that's a toughie. wouldn't it be nice if facebook had a literature forum?
I love litnet but im going to go with facebook simply because of the old friends connection.
a medical thriller or legal thriller or military thriller?
A legal thriller. Ilike reading about judgements.
Probably FB has more than one literature forum but I donīt like social nets I think you get too exposed.
Memory games or computer games?
Memory games, since i don't like computer games.
Bagel or croissant?
croissant unless it was an asiago bagel from panera then I'd pick that.
wine or beer?
oh papayahed, im a teetotaler! you are not trying to corrupt me are you?
but as beer commercials are better than wine commercials, lets go with beer.
if you could only have one thing on your toast, which would it be, peanut butter or jelly?
Of course not bounty! psst....how about a margarita??
Peanut Butter! I'm not a jelly fan.
Soup or Salad?
I used to go to happy hour with friends, buy virgin mixed drinks and eat all the munchies. or sometimes buy a beer, just hold it, and then let my friend's have it when they were done with theirs.
oh my, and I cant go soup AND salad?? that's what makes trips to the olive garden so special!
im going to say---at home, soup but out at a restaurant, salad.
im a vegetarian so it pains me a little to ask, but, on your hot dog---ketchup or mustard or onions or relish or sauerkraut?
Mustard.
ACDC or Coldplay?
AC/DC... I'd go with Coldplay if they had Angus.
Cake or pie ?
Both!
Summer or winter clothes?
Winter clothes are classier, but summer clothes are more practical.
Guitar or drums solo?
has anyone seen the abbott and Costello schtick about how mustard was made for the hot dog, but Costello doesn't like it?
id say 9 times out of 10, or maybe even 99 times out of a 100, guitar solo.
this one's probably been asked before, star wars or star trek? (and who's your favorite character(s) in the one you pick?)
Love both, but Star Wars captured my heart way back in 1977. Next Generation came later.
Favorite character: Han Solo followed by Boba Fett then Number One
Palm Trees or Pine Trees?
Palm trees.
Visit a palace or visit a cathedral?
that's a toughie, I like both but maybe a small lean towards the latter. however in a tie I would say the edge would go to whichever one had the better, more interesting grounds outside. so if the palace had gardens, or the cathedral had a graveyard---that type of thing.
in the LOTR and the hobbit movies: arwen or eowyn or Galadriel or tauriel?
(and if you would, say from what perspective you are answering?)
Eowyn and Tauriel. I was about to say that my two choices are badasses but then I realized that applies to all four. I picked Eowyn and Tauriel because they seem more apt to get in the mud with the regular folk.
Han Solo or Luke Skywalker?
ah papayahed---my connection at home is so bad im rarely able to be here anymore and am surprised that question is still out there.
a toughie---movie wise, i'll go with han, he's the more enjoyable character to have included. but story wise, you have to have luke. so its a tie!
tarzan or conan?
Tarzan definitively.
Peter Pan or Alice in Wonderland?
