    Egyptian, I think.

    I had not seen Inchbold's work until just now, but I like it. Still, the prize goes to Millais for his exuberant coloring.

    Derain or Franz Marc?

    EDIT: Hardy!

    Well, Hardy is a better author, but sometimes I get in the mood for Kipling's bad weirdness.

    Derain

    St Paul's (London) or St Peter's (Rome)?

    Edit: Okay, okay, never heard of 'em. You two enjoy. I'm going to bed.

    St. Peter's cause of the opulence, so I bet you Clopin likes St. Paul's more.

    I had to play in Martinu's flute/oboe/clarinet trio once. Like Pompey hasn't forgiven Dvorak, I can't forgive Martinu (or the lady who put that on our program). Janacek.

    Pisarro or Morisot?

    EDIT: Night Pompey

    St. Peter for me too.

    Morisot.

    (You should listen to Martinu's nonet and then reconsider if you want to forgive him )

    Childe Hassam or Caillebotte?

    I prefer Caillebotte's firmness and solidity. The Avenue in the Rain sure is wonderful though.

    Okayyyyy, maybe I'll give Martinu another chance. After all that Argerich and Elgar and Britten you've assigned me!

    The Bakery Girl of Monceau or The Baker's Wife (Pagnol).

    ^^The above are my co-worker's suggestions, as I have not seen either film I cannot offer an opinion!

    Hah! I'm not saying you have to listen to this, of course. But, I'm glad you like Janáček, or did you vote just to spite Bohuslav?

    The Bakery Girl of Monceau or The Baker's Wife (Pagnol).

    I haven't seen them either. Time for me to go as well.

    Okay, back to questions people can answer, eh?

    Seamus Heaney. Erin über alles.

    Bathing or showering (not which do you do more, which do you prefer)?

    Bathing, so peaceful.

    I like Heaney too.

    The Laocoon or the Winged Nike of Samothrake?

    The Laocoon, just because that part of the story is so weird.

    "Flipped classrooms" in which the students (allegedly) conduct the class and the teacher merely facilitates/serves them.

    Hm, I prefer the Nike. Power and grace, doncha know.

    I don't like traditional classrooms, so flipped might be a nice change.

    Same question.

    No. Teachers need to be mentors.

    Beards or clean shaven (for yourself, not others)?
