in the a lake (never boated on the ocean) but love the lake.Staycation or far away vacation?
Far away vacation, preferably someplace requiring a plane ride. If I stay home I still have to do dishes and walk the dog.Travolta or Stallone?
Travolta he has more range BBQ or roasted?
I'll go roasted on this one.long walks holding hands or sitting on a blanket waiting in silence for falling stars?
long walks,holding handseating out or eating in
either onewaiting on the beach for sunset with Champagne or
picnic in the woods on a grassy hill with a view and the Champagne
The beach scenario definitely. That way when teh sun goes down, you are alone together on the beach, in the dark. *wiggles eyebrows suggestively*having too much to do or too little?
Too little. It means I could read more.Indie movies or regular films?
Usually indie films. Hollywood movies are usually a little over the top with more predictable plots.70's high school shows: Welcome Back Kotter or The White Shadow?
Hey, not fair, that's a drama vs. a comedy... Hard to choose but I'll go with Welcome Back Kotter since I've felt the need to quote in these threads. (but haven't)Sticking with the theme: Chico & the Man or Sanford & Son?
Sanford & Son all the way. Redd Foxx shouting out "Elizabeth, I'm coming to join ya'! It's the big one!" was a part of conversation in our house.Barney Miller or Cagney & Lacey?
Barney Miller for sure. Just one word explains it all...Fish!Battlestar Galactica or Buck Rogers?
Tough call. Buck Rogers had Twiki and Dr. Theopolis while Battlestar Galactica had Starbuck swearing with "Frak!" but since I was 12 when Buck Rogers finally went off the air, I grew an appreciation for the tight white body suits. I'll say Buck Rogers wins this round.Cult movies: Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (original not the sequels) or Blue Velvet
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes since I never saw blue velvetRocky Horror Picture Show or Little Shop Of Horrors
Lisa you've got to see Blue Velvet, excellent flick! I'll go with Rocky Horror, it's fun to experience a freaky crowd in costume.
Dramas or comedies
I have to be in the mood for a drama but I can always do a comedy.Mel Brooks or Monty Python
Monty Python hands down, followed by Benny Hill please. Gotta love those Brits!Ford or Chevy?
Caddy. Pink. With Bruce Springsteen sitting next to me singing about the crushed velvet seats. ;-)American Idol or Dancing with the Stars?
American Idol. I prefer to listen to music than watch a professional dancer try to carry an amateur.Since our ask an author did not show this week, I'll post one of my questions here.
If you had to give up one which would it be:
A: You can never have chocolate again. No chocolate cake, no chocolate milk, no hot chocolate, no cocoa roasted almonds, NO CHOCOLATE ANYTHING.
B: You can never drive again. A driver will come and take you where you want to go at no cost to you. There would be little inconvenience and you would no longer have to concern yourself with vehicle maintenance but you would know that you were eternally dependent on someone else to go anywhere.
I would choose B- never drive again! As a mom of 3 who chauffers them everywhere, all the time, I would like to be chauffered for a change- free will be damned! Plus I would NEVER give up chocolate!!Milk Chocolate or Dark Chocolate?
Dark all the way. You know what they say? The darker the berry the sweeter the juice. (except there really isn't a chocolate berry and dark chocolate is not sweeter. Otherwise the phrase fits perfectly.)blueberries or strawberries?

cool whip or reddi whip?
Cool whip. I think Reddi whip leaves a funny aftertaste sometimes, or maybe I'm just putting it on the wrong thing. Did I just say that?Umbrella or Rain Coat?
Rain Coat (is that another sexual reference?)mustard or ketchup?
Umbrella, it's so much easier. A rain coat is just stiff and wet. Did I just say that?Jim-you're right on the money with the darker berry quote ;-)
Camping: tent or camper? (I don't even camp I just couldn't think of anything else)
PonytailsAnd camper- I don't camp but a camper seems much more civilized and comfortable than a tent!
Online ordering or shop in store?
for clothes must be shop in stores. It's all about how it fits. Otherwise it's a toss up.fuzzy dice from the rear-view mirror or zebra seat covers? (i know, such a choice)
zebra seat covers.california or new york?
New York. The people are more real.living next door to a registered sex offender or someone convicted of murder that was released on a technicality?
ummm....can I just move???swimming in a lake or pool?
No Fran, you have to pick one. That is the name of the game.I prefer swimming in a pool if I'm hanging out with the kids but love swimming in a lake if hanging out with friends on a boat.
wearing white socks with sandals or two different plaid patters.
OK, OK- living next door to the convicted murderer. I have 3 kids, I can't choose the sex offender!What is a plaid patter?
You suck! I'll take the mismatched plaid and I'll wear it when I invite my murdering bastard of neighbor over to swim in the pool. At least he'll have a better chance of controlling himself. (as opposed to the sex offender, not you)Aging parents or aging in laws?
I'm sorry I meant Jim sucks... I was late :)
Penney wrote: "I'm sorry I meant Jim sucks... I was late :)"Oh good, I got nervous there for a minute!
OMG- aging parents for sure!!!
ball point pen or roller tip?
Roller tip.Day old open bottled water that was in your car or tap water.
tap water (run it thru the brita ..hehe)shaved head or long hair (men)?
waterhair color dare: pink or yellow?
It`s naturally yellow ,so do I have to go pink?EWwwwwwDress or Jeans?
Hmmm, dress. I wear one everyday to work so I'm more comfortable really. I don't like my jeans anyhow, or rather, don't like how I look in them. Sigh!Male or female news anchors?
I prefer to look at a female news anchor but listen to the deep resonant voice of some men. However, since I only have to choose one, I'll go with female news anchor.*Note as to the sex offender/murderer question. It really depends on the circumstances of each. I know someone I went to high school with who is a registered sex offender. When he was 22, he and his wife were arrested for having sex on the golf course at the country club at a wedding reception. Probably wouldn't have even been charged but Susie was D&D and punched the cop. Public Indecency puts you on the list for life in PA.
People who see the world in B&W or people who believe everything is a shade of grey?
Shades of grey. You just have to have an open mind.Coworkers who don't bother to say good morning or ones who gossip your ear off?
I am a shades of grey person for sure. That's what makes some of these choices so difficult, there are always circumstances to consider. Thats a pretty harsh story, I should probably check public indecency laws here is NJ. Not that I plan on tip-toeing through the tulips in the buff, but one never knows...Being caught in an extremely compromising, maybe even unnatural position with your significant other by your grandparents or Catching them in the same position.

* Jim- when I answered the question, in my mind the murderer was a woman who killed her husband in self-defense after a long battle with his monsterous behavior and felt she had no other choice- kill or be killed. Sounded much better to me to live next to her that a registered sex offender.
Rather lke people who see the world in shades of grey. I am always trying to figure a way to fit a situation to meet my needs. Can't stand when someone says it has to be a certain way and that's that.
Tootsie pops or Blow pops?
Wow, three at one time I think that's a first
