Game: This or That

Cinema

Sharpies (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharpie_(marker)) or ink pens ?

Hmm we use cored markers to highlight texts but they aren't of a definite brand. Ink pens are hardly used any more. So ball pens.

Havaianes or other slippers ?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Havaianas

Slippers (wearing them now)... similar to this: https://www.dearfoams.com/mens-asher...RoCni0QAvD_BwE in a gray plaid :)

Harry Potter or Hunger Games ?

They look warm and confy.

Harry Potter, but not a fan.

Soul music or blues?

Blues

Jazz or blues ?

Jazz.

Pop or classic music.?

classical

jazz or rock music ?

yayyy, I like when they are easy. rock music in a first round knockout.

from some earlier posts, I have to think that knowledge serves as the foundation for imagination. and imagination in turn fosters the accumulation of knowledge. that would make for an interesting philosophy paper.

I know eventually danik I need to read another classic author/work---otherwise I start to feel a bit guilty.

Jeannie vs mary ann

paul newman vs sean connery

I think the imagination of a child is perhaps what I'm thinking of... with just the littlest knowledge they imagine great things :)

Jeannie

Shakespeare play(s): A Midsummer Night's Dream or Much Ado About Nothing ?

I think even a child has to have language to use the imagination and language is a sort oh knowledge.
Don't feel guilty about your readings. If you don't teach classes about books, you can choose freely, what you want to read. I read mostly for enjoyment and to learn new things. I think that turning reading into a task often kills the pleasure.There are classic authors I love reading, others I don't.

Paul Newman .
Play: A Midsummer's Night Dreaam.

Short stories or novels?

Ah.

Short stories

Waterfalls or geysers ?

That was an answer to Bounty,'s ponderation about guilt in post #22968.

Waterfalls.

Bread with butter or with cheese?

Bread with cheese, though more tortilla with cheese.

Sweet or dill pickles ?

tortillas sound Mexican to m We don't have them here( unless in a Mexican restaurant, but we have "empadas". They look like small pies:
https://authenticbraziliancuisine.bl...empadinha.html

Sweet.


Gym or walks in the morning?

The empadas look yummy. I buy packaged flour tortillas at the store but here's a simple recipe... https://www.myplate.gov/recipes/flour-tortillas

No gym yet... and I don't do mornings... but I do walk.... so walk it is.

Same question ?

So that are tortillas? The name suggests small tarts, so I thought they would be similar to our empadas. These look more like pancakes (without eggs and milk)
or pita bread.

Gym at morning or at noon(depending on the classes).

Wood flowers or garden flowers?

ALL flowers... my favorite finds this spring: Lilac, Yellow Yarrow, Pink(ish) Yarrow, White Bearded Iris, Purple Iris, Dandelions, Yellow Daffodils :)

An Ode to a Bright Yellow Yarrow

An ode to a bright yellow Yarrow
found amongst Redwood bark and
many a dried pink Dogwood petal
on hallowed ground

A symbol of healing and health and
protection in these latter days -
a bright cheery fellow that brings
joy and peace

To my countenance and testifies
of our Heavenly Father's perfect
love... A spirited beacon to guide
us and to remain

On the straight and narrow path -
that we may be perfected through
His Son's infinite atonement and
grace - unto eternal life

Journaling or reading ?

That must be beautiful! I like flowers in their natural environment, not plucked or cut. Joyous ode!
Reading. Was never good at journaling.

Glasses or cataract surgery?

Thank you :) The ode was for yesterday's (5/15/2025) Thursdays at Two poetry group assignment. I took a photo as an ekphrastic prompt: https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com...KXvS_HZSnZk0Ag... hopefully the link works (a bit oversaturated).

Glasses still... perhaps cataract surgery in the distant future, no need yet.

Appendix (vermiform) still or no appendix ?

The link worked fine, tender Yellow Yarrows! They are having a poetry festival right across the street in front of my building. Some of the poets are foreign, one is from US. There are slam poets too and audio poetry boxes that look like the deceased telephone cabins

Appendix still.

Music festivals or poetry festivals

How fortunate for you to have a poetry event so close :) The telephone kiosk type devices sound intriguing... Poetry festivals

Writing poetry or short stories ?

I could make a photo of them, but I don't know if I'll be able to post them here.

Both.


Sandwich or pizza?

Pizza :)

Brazil nuts (castanha-do-Pará) or peanuts ?

:) Castanha do Pará are my favorite nuts.

Paintings:concrete or abstract?

More impressionistic... tending toward the abstract.

Omelets or quiche ?

I like depictions of real things, is that what you mean by "concrete" danik? if so, then yes.

at the last moment I dream of Jeannie comes in and knocks mary ann out of the running for a classic rematch with ginger!

but our other classic match-up remains intact

the consolation matches first:

mary ann vs wrangler jane

sean connery vs morgan freeman

oh heck---I don't eat eggs much anymore, and as im sure you are aware tailor, "real men dont eat quiche", so omelets!

Mary Ann vs Wrangler Jane... difficult choice, going with the chaste Mary Ann... by a pigtail.

Kermit or Big Bird ?

Yes, that's what I mean, Bounty.

Didn’t know that in US you also had this "real men don't eat" category.

Peace reigning in the cat department, Bounty?

Sean Connery.

Kermit

Sesame Street or The Muppets?

The Muppets :)

Fruit slices or fruit juice ?

Fruit juice.

Japanese or Chinese poetry?

Tough choice... I'm still learning about both: At this point in my infancy I'll choose Japanese poetry based on Basho's works.

Dress shoes or sneakers (tennis shoes) or sandals ?

:)

Sneakers!

Reading news in the net or watching them on TV?

News everywhichwhere... except paper newspapers.

Same question ?

In the telly or in the net. No paper newspaper anymore.

Alexa or alarm clock?

Alexa is my main alarm... cell phone as backup in case power goes out for important events.

Gazing at rainbows or "shooting stars" ?

Can't remember when last I saw one or the other. I prefer a shooting star, it's more seldom and said to bring luck.

Astrology orTarot cards?

I look at my horoscope once in a while... so astrology.

Feeding pigeons or watch a bird feeder ?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cm8TWqPyLXw

i dont have pigeons to feed, but I do put food out on my porch rail in the winter for other birds to come eat, and I really enjoy that, and watching them too.

just yesterday danik I was down by my pond hauling wood back to my house to cut. spritzer had followed me down there. after a few trips, all of a sudden "poof!" and poof was there. they laid in the tallish grass and alongside a tree less than 10ft apart, for about 20 minutes not doing anything other than knowing each other was there.

a few days ago I found spritzer sitting atop a lumber pile looking down on the ground where poof was sitting. i hadn't heard any ruckus leading to that scenario but i can well imagine spritzer going up there to escape from poof. when i let spritzer out the first thing she does is look both ways to see if poof is around.

dididididididididdi (that's a drum roll!)

ginger vs Jeannie

Robert Redford vs paul newman

Used to feed pigeons at my window years ago.The problem was, they visited the neighboring windows as well. Today it is forbidden to feed the birds and there is a fee on it. Even so, there are people secretly feeding them and they thrive on it.


Poultry or pigs ?

Updating after Bounty's post. Spritzer and Poof finally accepting each other?
