Game: This or That

danik, you are the first to hear the news besides the cat herself, spritzer's winter indoor prison has come to an end and she's presently enjoying the great outdoors!

the timing was good because im dog sitting and between that, and my cutting back on her food, poof has been less around lately. though I still feel terrible for her.

I love all green things but you gotta have flowers! in fact for years ive wanted to plant some in a rough spot in my yard and I just recently renewed the search. I was hoping for something yellow and so daffodils came to mind, but the area is wet and shady and I guess daffodils don't like that. plus I think the deer like to munch on them.

ben Affleck vs chris pratt

daisy duke vs any of the hee haw girls

Plants with flowers... Found a white iris and my periwinkles are starting to blossom :)
Daisy Duke... been too long since I watched Hee Haw and can't recall any other than price tag gal (Minnie Pearl)... Googled and found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQhtkSifG9s... Now I remember, lol... Staying with Daisy Duke :)

Same questions ?

I'm very glad to know that Spritzer is able to get out. As for Poof it's better to wait a bit more. It might be mating season.
Daffodils sound fine with me.

No great fan of Ben Afflek but I don't remember who Chris Pratt is. So Ben Afflek.
I prefer plants with flowers but not inside the house.

daniiiiiiiiiiiik, I think you might do well to hire me as your pop culture coach!

and oddly enough, though I have the front door open, spritzer's hanging out inside.

no mating for poof. she was a shelter cat and they don't let any of their dogs and cats get adopted without their having been spayed or neutered.

I like 'em both but I really appreciate chris pratt's comedic ability so he wins on that regard and I really enjoyed the guardians movies.

i think its hard to beat misty rowe, gunilla hutton and Barbie Benton, but daisy duke is a good choice too! I think i'll go with her also.

Gerard butler vs Humphrey bogart

mary ann vs emma peel

Mary Ann

Green Acres or Petticoat Junction ?

or

Lilies or Irises ?

US pop culture, yes, Bounty. I guess that comes from growing up without TV.
Maybe Spritzer is avoiding Poof. But I think that may change. I only wouldn't let her out when you aren't at home.

Humphrey Bogart.

Irises

Sunflower or Forget-me-not?

Sunflower

The Great Gatsby or The Scarlet Letter ?

The Scarlet Letter.
e. e cummings ou Walter de la Mare?

Walter de la Mare s'il vous plait... he died in the town my Mother was born. I've read about him quite a bit and found I share a number of traits re: writing with him :)

Sara Teasdale or Emily Dickinson ?

Sara Teasdale. She is more romantic.

Japanese or Indian poetry?

Japanese: Basho, Issa... minimalism

Same question ?

Both, but prefer Tagore to Issa. So Indian.

18th century or 19th century literature (poetry or prose, depending who answers the question)?

19th century poetry

Tagore or Rumi ?

Tagore.

Fresh fruit juice or tetra pack fruit juice?

i don't think I was addicted at all to tv when I was growing up, but I do remember it was derogatorily referred to at the time as the "boob tube." I have done memories of shows and movies and sporting events on the telly from my childhood. I wonder what I might have replaced them with if tv hadn't been around.

spritzer was out today and she and poof saw each other. she seemed a little leery at the proposition. whats making you suggest my not letting her out if im not home danik? are you imagining cat violence?

I think if I were a kajillioniare if would be fun to go with fresh fruit juice but otherwise, its the store bought canned/bottled versions, and even then I still kinda look at them as cost prohibitive.

ginger vs agent 99 from get smart

steve McQueen vs leonardo de caprio

In my experience I think the telly opened up the world to youth in a way that books couldn't, and vice versa in the '50's and '60's and so on. We still played an enormous amount of time outdoors back in the day.

Fresh
Ginger

Veggie burgers or Protein shakes ?

When I was a kid I read, read and read. I don't remember missing tv. Only later when I went to school I realized that reading wasn't an usual habit.

So maybe Spritzer and Poof are starting to get used to each other. I'm not sure about cat violence if Poof is still fighting to get into your house preferably as only cat.With you around Spritzer would be more protected.

Fresh fruit juice isn't cheap even here but it's not much more expensive than a soft drink and maybe the same price as a beer. And at least orange juice you find in each bar or restaurant.

Neither veggie burgers nor protein shakes, rather a steak or a chocolate milk shake.

Steve McQueen . By the way Di Caprio was for many years married to Brazilian model Giselle Bundchen.

Late night talk shows or music shows on TV?


.

Late night talk shows

Curly fries or normal fries or potato wedges ?

Curly or normal potato fries.

mashed potatoes or mashed sweet potatoes?

Mashed potatoes... took me a long time to even stomach sweet potatoes and yams.

Protest songs or local/other "folk" songs ?

Aye.

Party clothes or casual wear?

?

Casual wear

Baby sitting or pet sitting ?

some weird double posting thing going on when I tried to edit. the internet is mysterious.

recently they were both hanging out on the front porch at the same time and i was thinking "détente!" well hang that idea danik! this morning spritzer wanted out but poof was on the porch. so she went warily and I helped her by picking her up and setting her on the rail. a handful of minutes later I heard a major cat fracas and I rushed outside to stop poof from chasing spritzer any further up a tree. she ended up huddled on a small branch and wouldn't come down because she could see poof on the porch. I eventually coaxed her down but she lost her grip on the way down and did not land on her feet. thankfully she wasn't hurt.

the internet says they weren't married danik, but dated for a long time. either way, I don't think I knew that. everyone here knows her as tom brady's wife, now ex wife.

I just got done dog sitting and am a big fan of that. cannot imagine "baby sitting" at this stage in life. or maybe ever!

judy robinson vs Marcia brady

al pacino vs morgan freeman

Judy

Only Ice Cream for Life or Only Pizza for Life ?

Seems I muddled the games a bit.

See what I mean when I say at this point it's good when you are around, Bounty. Spritzer is very much afraid of Poof, and Poof, who is probably stronger wants to chase her away. If both are outside and you are away it may happen that Poof succeeds in chasing Spritzer away or in harming her.
Yes you are right, they dated and the husband was Tom Brady with whom she has two children.
Morgan Freeman.
Can you make it pizza and ice cream for life, tailor?

Parades or street theater?

Aye!

Street theater... not that I've ever seen any, but it sounds cool :)

Broadway: Les Misérables or Cats ?

Here we have it sometimes: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_theatre

Cats, cats, cats the one play I watched on Broadway (and for free).

Movies or plays?

Street theater... I'll keep my eyes open

Cats!

YouTube or Tic Toc or Facebook ? (watching YouTube streaming of General Conference today (just now and later) and tomorrow at church)

Addendum: FYI... A bunch of smileys or other emoticons will trigger the "You are banned" warning.

You Tube

Lol! Made a note. No emojis.

FB or Instagram?

FB for now

Rice or pasta ?

hey you two---I tried to get in lots over the weekend and the "cloudfare not working" page came up over and over. did you experience that also?

I like the both and I don't think im an impatient fellow really, but I like how pasta takes about 1/3 to 1/2 the time. although I do like rice and beans. hmmm, edge to pasta!

batgirl vs Annette funicello

Robert Redford vs Harrison ford

that seems like a toughie danik!

Yep

Annette appeared before the screen versions of Batgirl, so a slight nod to Annette.

Fonts: Times New Roman or Palatino linotype or other ?

Yes. Litnet was down the whole weekend.

Rice and beans is our daily national dish and rice one can combine with almost anything. So rice.

Robert Redford. Will you be very shocked, Bounty, if I tell you that I don't remember what Harrison Ford looks like?
Usually Times New Roman or Arial.

Zoo or Circus?

Zoo... One of my Uncles worked at Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle with the great apes... :)

Windows Automatic Updates ON or OFF ?

:)

Currently off, because they want to introduce some updates I won't have like linking all my devices.
Multifunctional furniture or not?

yeah but tailor, Annette funicello wasn't wearing skintight lycra! although I can confess I had a little crush on a girl in the mickey mouse club's 2nd iteration when I was a kid.

noooooooo danik, how is that possible? laughs....raiders of the lost ark, star wars, the fugitive, blade runner, air force one?

and I remember your liking blade runner even! which by the way, I started watching online a few days ago but the link to it disappeared. I might have to get it from the library.

ironically enough, I had a dream last night that Harrison ford was in.

hmm, I suppose I would chose multifunctional furniture if there was indeed something nifty about it but id have to say im mostly naïve as to what that could be.

wrangler jane from f troop vs catwoman

jimmy stewart vs denzel washington

Multifunction furniture... comfy recliner chair

Wrangler Jane

Mickey Mouse or Snoopy ?

Nifty multifunctional furniture:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABQcNz2hDJo

Denzel Washington

Snoopy!

Midnight Cowboy x Yentl

Cool video... I see what you meant. I've been enamored with "tiny homes" https://www.google.com/search?num=10...ih=663&dpr=1.5 for some time. They must utilize every amount of space with multi-functionality in mind.

Hmmm... I don't think I've seen all of either movie... it's been so long I barely remember either... so I'll choose Yentl because Barbra Streisand was in it

Boolean algebra or regular algebra ?
