Get to Know Each Other
>
Which One?!
Mental coin toss - Black Donnellys.I have a knack for liking shows that get cancelled, so how about...
Firefly or Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles?
Do you mean books or TV? Hmmmm.If books, Hardy Boys; if TV ND - shows my guyness, I think.
Watchmen or Matrix?
Hope the wits are back.Orange - but fresh only (okay, as fresh as I can get it in Canada).
Papaya or mango?
Pens. How else am I supposed to do the crosswords?!Spiral bound books or loose leaf paper?
Oddly enough, a Mac, even though I was once a Windows computer tech and that is what I use at work. I bought a Mac for my wife - who turned out to be a total computer phobe and never used it. So did. For a year it drove me nuts because it was contrary to the PC; but once I relaxed and let it do its thing, it is better than the PC. EXCEPT FOR ONE THING! The keyboard shortcuts are pretty bad in the Mac, and brilliant and easy in the PC.Okay,
Ham or pepperoni pizza?
I'm for defenestration!Hard cover or paperback?
Nice word! I haven't seen that used in probably 30+ years.I cannot bifurcate this option! Sometimes one and sometimes the other. Okay, flip a mental coin... paperback.
Long sentences or short?
Depends on the context.Old TV series: The Twilight Zone or The Prisoner?
Excellent choice!Prisoner. Absolutely loved how they closed the series — best ever.
Movies: Sin City or Watchmen?
Alex, as a connoisseur of the odd, you need to see both.Nike because they fit my body better than Converse.
Stick shift or automatic?
I haven't seen those movies, either, Guy. I'll have to look into it.More movies: Suddenly, Last Summer or To Kill a Mockingbird?
M Sin Cities is a visual delight. Carla Guigino and Rosario Dawson looking oh so great ... er I mean, doing a fabulous job. (Actually, they were both!)To Kill a Mockingbird. Suddenly a bit too ... sentimental for me. Mockingbird a lot tougher.
Since M didn't answer #560, I'll say Twizzlers - Red Vines I've not seen here.
Okay Al, poems in the mail.
Vanilla or Chocolate ice cream?
Piano. Glen Gould's Bach; Mitsuko Uchida's Mozart? Ahhhhhhhhh!Phantom of the Opera or Hunchback of Notre Dame?
I'll take Gino Francescati's Walton and the original, silent Phantom, with Lon Chaney.Dvorak's New World or Rachmaninoff's Symphony No. 2 in E Minor?
I really like Debussy. Some of his music is so eerie and ethereal!Renee Fleming or Kiri Te Kanawa?
Good choice! When Renee sings, sometimes it sounds to me like she's mooing. I haven't heard anything by Glass or Keating, so I'd better not comment.
Contemporary singers with, especially Spektor, interesting lyrics. So, this is an easy one: Regina Spektor. Human of the Year.Apple Pie or Macaroni & Cheese?
Mac & cheese. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.A steak and baked potato or a loaded pizza with extra cheese?
Hard choice. Have you ever tried Natural Brew's Outrageous Ginger Ale? Well. Okay, I'll go with root beer.Hmm. Truffles or Peanut Butter Cups?
Wrist watch - who needs yet more weight in a pocket to either create a hole or drag the pants lower than is fair to others around me.Digital clocks or analog?
Well, I am definitely old enough to be your father!Chai milkshake.
Blueberry muffin or apricot scone?
Robots, think Daryl Hannah in Blade Runner.Okay, movies again:
Blade Runner or I, Robot?
Blade Runner blows I, Robot out of the water! Pretty much a must see movie.Cary Grant.
Irene Dunne or Katherine Hepburn?
A dress if it's a sleeveless shirtwaist dress with a fly-away collar, a skirt if it's long, made of heavy cotton twill, brown, and has a wide leather belt.Pearls or diamonds?
diamonds, they are shinier XDpepperoni or cheese pizza ?
That's not a choice! In Canada we take both at the same time.Ice cream cone or sundae?
Probably showing my decrepitudinous age, but disco. Queen or Kiss?
Coke. Dr. Pepper doesn't go well with sour mash.Ice-cream bar or ice-cream sandwich?
High five to Guy on choosing disco! :D Although funk is excellent, too!Hmm... whichever civilization cut out peoples' hearts.
K.C. and the Sunshine Band or Chic?
Thanks, Han, back atcha.Al, how do you go from disco to root vegetables? Curious mind.
Radishes.
Mustard or relish?
Bluth - more bite.Dr. Strangelove or The Russians are Coming, the Russians are Coming?
Life of Brian came out when I was in college in Shreveport. It's a Baptist community, and the movie was banned. No theater could show it. In defiance of the administration, the student government at Centenary rented it. We got movies on 16mm film in those days. I was the person who set up the equipment weekend nights and showed a feature. The auditorium was packed. Word had gotten out. It seemed as though the whole town showed up to see it!
Nice M! One of my all time favourites, so, since M didn't give a which:O Brother Where art Thou? or Fargo?
Since I've only read Animal Farm, that's my choice.Mashed Potatoes or Baked potatoes?
water beds! they are so fun :) i like it when they have fish in them too!snape :)
mouse or touchpad?
Snape because Alan Rickman is one of my favourite actors.And Kat, you need to read 1984. It's better than AF.
Alan Rickman or Jeremy Irons?

Snake; lizards either stay still or scurry so fast it looks as if they've vanished. Snakes at least slither around or try to kill you, plus have a lot of medicinal properties ... mostly healing their own venom, but anyway ...
Tru Calling or the Black Donnellys?
