Independence Day - dreadful film though it is. It's just too much fun.
Batteries, Wind up or Charger?
Independence Day - dreadful film though it is. It's just too much fun.
Batteries, Wind up or Charger?
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
Wind-up, unless it's an actual useful device I depend on. Otherwise, clockwork is indescribably charming.
Emerson, Thoreau, or Whitman?
"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."
find me at Goodreads
uuuuugghgghghghhhh ...
Emerson, I guess. (Thoreau annoys me, and whatever unique thoughts I ever had about Whitman have been long-since overshadowed by Homer Simpson yelling, "I! Hate! You! Walt! Freaking! Whitman! Leaves of Grass, my ass!")
Baroque, Classical, or Romantic?
I'll go with romantic. But it's a tough choice. Late classical/early romantic would be my actual choice. The last of Beethoven's piano sonatas, foreshadowing the romantic period - that's the best.
Grilled, boiled, or fried?
Fried. But maybe grilled, depending on the foodstuff.
Soup, salad, or breadsticks?
Like 'em all, but soup by a nose: tomato, chicken noodle, hot and sour, clam chowder, or any kind of seafood bisque, if you please. Yum.
Love Actually, Man of La Mancha or Notorious?
Man of La Mancha
sedan, pick-up truck, or VW bus?
Sedan. I'm boring like that.
Chicago style dog, dog with kraut and mustard, or dog with chili and cheese?
"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."
find me at Goodreads
Chili cheese. But I'd rather have a brat or a polish sausage.
Rembrandt, Vermeer, or Caravaggio?
Rembrandt I think.
Slugs, Snails or Puppy Dog tails?
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
Puppy dog tails
Peppermint patties, Tootsie rolls, or Butterfingers?
Butterfingers, I guess. Not a huge fan of any of them.
Garter snakes, pythons or rattlers?

In terms of being willing to touch one, garter snakes (and I have). In terms of coolness, rattlers.
The Onion Field, Pinocchio or The Queen?
I enjoyed The Queen far more than I expected to.
Canada, New Zealand, or South Africa?
I would love to visit New Zealand!!!
Ginger ale, cream soda, or Fresca?
"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."
find me at Goodreads
Ginger ale. It's always good, especially when I'm sick. Cream soda is nice, but too sweet for every day. Fresca is what the demons offer the damned in Hell.
Blue ink, black ink, or green ink?
Black ink. I work in a medical office, and non-black pens are the bane of my existence.
Afterlife: Christian heaven, perpetual cycle of reincarnation, or total oblivion?
"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."
find me at Goodreads
Total oblivion - in terms of what I believe is the most likely. (As to what I'd want, I suppose heaven sounds good, although I'd have to read up to be sure)
Paper cut, canker sore, or bunion?
Paper cut, if choose I must.
Reality Bites, Superman or Taken?
Superman, on the basis of theme song alone.
Potato salad, cole slaw, or cantaloupe?
I like 'em all, and it depends on what else is being served with them, but... cole slaw. If it's the creamy, non-vinegary kind.
Underdog, Veggie Tales or While You Were Sleeping?
While You Were Sleeping. The other two are...even worse.
Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, or Freddie Krueger?
"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."
find me at Goodreads
Michael Myers, of course.
Time Magazine, Penthouse, or the Atlantic?
The Atlantic. But really, I mostly just read National Geographic.
Shrimp, crab, or lobster?
Ooo, that's a toughie. Love 'em all. If I had to choose, though... shrimp.
X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes, Yojimbo or Z. by Costa-Gavras?
Yojimbo - love a good samurai story.
Wimbledon, Roland-Garros or Queens?
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
I'm not a huge tennis fan under the best of circumstances, but watching people play tennis on grass or dirt is extra silly. Give me Queens.
Caviar, foie gras, or truffles?
"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."
find me at Goodreads
Truffles. Mmmm.
Diving, swimming, or water polo?
Water polo. I am endlessly intrigued by how they train the horses to hold their breath that long.
Boxing, wrestling or fencing?
I think all three are cool, but I was a wrestler myself in high school, and retain a fondness for the cauliflower-eared sport in my heart.
Gas, grass, or ass? (No one rides for free!)
"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."
find me at Goodreads
Each have their uses. But given the choice of touching the finest variety of any, I'll take ass every time.
As the World Turns, Boston Public or Chicago Hope?
Umm..Chicago Hope ios the only one I know of those and it wasn't that bad, so that one.
Maria Sharapova, Steffi Graff or Anna Kournikova
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
Steffi, I guess, but none of them are really my type.
Dallas, Endeavour or Fawlty Towers?
Fawlty Towers - So much comedy in so few episodes
The Wire, The West Wing or CSI
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
The Wire, though none of these shows are my favorite.
Avengers, Spider-Man, or The Dark Knight?
Last edited by Orual; 04 Jul 2012 at 10:29 AM.
Avengers. And not just because I'm (very briefly) in it.
Gomer Pyle UMSC, Hawaii 5-0 or I Love Lucy?
Hawaii Five-0, or as I like to call it - 'Hawaiian Batman & Friends'.
Psych, Monk, or House?
House by default, since I always enjoyed it and have never watched either of the others.
Zima, wine cooler, or MGD 64?
"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."
find me at Goodreads
MGD 64. That's the one that tastes like horse-piss, right?
Cognac, Armagnac or Calvados?
Cognac, I guess, but I'm not really into any of them.
Jetsons, King of Queens or Laugh-In?
Jetsons, I've never really watched the other two.
In the spirit of Saturday Morning: Garfield & Friends, Muppet Babies, or Tiny Toons?
Just seen a few minutes of Tiny Toons, so I'll say that.
Make Room for Daddy, Nurse or The Odd Couple?
The Odd Couple, because it's the only one I've seen.
A vacation spent hiking the Appalachian Trail, hitting the Smithsonian and other Washington DC attractions, or lolling on the beach in Hawaii?
I've done all three and loved each, but of the three, the Washington sights would win out by a nose.
Picket Fences, Quincy or Rescue Me?
Probably Picket Fences. Watched it fairly regularly for a while.
Left field, center field or right field?
Right field. Spent some time out there as a kid.
Star Trek: The Next Generation, Tom & Jerry or The Unit?
TNG.
Printer, photocopier, or fax machine?
Printer. I hate fax machines so badly.
Coffee, tea, or me?
"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."
find me at Goodreads
No hard feelings, man, but I'll take coffee. Black, with lots of sugar.
The Virginian, The Waltons or The X-Files?
X-Files, definitely. I loved that show.
Push ups, crunches, or squats?
