    Ugg. Push-ups...I guess.

    Chew ice, chew gum, or chew tobacco?

    Gum, I guess, although none are particular vices of mine.

    Rye, bourbon or scotch?

    Scotch. I love all three, but Scotch for sure.

    Stout, IPA, or Hefeweizen?

    Like them all, and it largely depends on season and circumstances, but overall, IPA.

    Ghosts, ghouls or goblins?

    Goblins, it's just a fun word to say.

    Orcs, trolls, or wargs?

    Gotta go with trolls. Very cool. (I always thought Sean Bean said his line in Moria with just the right mix of exasperation and Oh-shit-what-else-would-it-be resignation: "They have a cave troll!")

    A fan of You Can't Take It With You, Zardoz or A Star is Born?

    Sniped! I'm leaving my answer anyway, since I thought hard about it!

    Orcs. I always loved how Tolkien made them cruel and evil, yet with brains and plausible motivations. Their arguments among themselves, on the plains of Rohan and at Cirith Ungol, were enlightening. By comparison, a lot of other LotR baddies - trolls, the Watcher in the Water, even the Balrog - seemed to exist more as mere foils or obstacles for the good guys.

    ----------------------------

    You Can't Take It With You. I always thought it was cute.

    Elves, dwarfs, or hobbits?

    Elves. I'm more like a hobbit, but elves are just inexpressibly great. Plus, immortality.

    Arwen, Galadriel or Eowyn? (I think we've done this before, but geekdom means always re-hashing.)

    Eowyn. Beacuse SWORDS, and HORSES, and me being 12 when I first read Lord of the Rings.

    Narnia, Hogwarts, or Middle Earth?

    Middle Earth, by a greater margin than any other choice I've made in this thread. I think of Middle Earth as the greatest feat of imagination of the three anyway, but that's compounded by my having encountered it at the perfect time for it to fire my imagination (age 10-12). Honestly, I've never even been able to finish all the Narnia books.

    Star Wars universe, Star Trek universe, or Duneiverse?

    Maybe Star Trek universe. It seems a bit better thought out than the Star Wars universe, and not nearly as creepy and dangerous as the Duneiverse.

    Kindle, Nook or iPad?

    I own a Kindle and artifex owns a Kindle Fire. I guess we've voted with our wallet.

    We've had the first two over the years, so I guess it's time to try a parakeet, if we must.

    Breaker Morant, Casablanca or Down by Law?

    Casablanca, total no-brainer as far as I'm concerned.

    Never saw a Magum, so I don't know....

    Gladiator, even with Mr Grumpy Aussie in.

    Barbie, but only because of the Toy Story connection.

    Hotel Rwanda, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, or Judge Dredd?

    Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. It's enjoyable enough to watch lon a sofa on a Sunday afternoon.

    Pele, Maradona or Messi?

    K2, being the only one of the three I've seen.

    Steeplechase, I guess, although I'm not wild about any of them.

    Notorious. And I'm not even a giant Hitchcock fan.

    Always thought bison were cool. But you gotta give wildebeests and yaks some credit for having inherently funny names.

    Sorbet, though ice cream is a close second. I've never really seen what's so exciting about frozen yogurt.

    Swiss chard, kale, or spinach?
    So now they are just dirt-covered English people in fur pelts with credit cards.

    Spinach by a narrow margin, but I'm not crazy about any of 'em.

    Root beer. Better still, a root beer float for dessert.

    Raleigh, because people would go there on the "Andy Griffith Show" for things that were bigger than in Mayberry or even Mount Pilot.

    Heroin, morphine or hashish?

    Never tried any of them, and never expect to. Hashish has kind of an exotic ring to it, though, so I'll say that.

    Steubenville, Toledo or Uniontown?

    Steubenville; that area of Ohio near the WV border can be pretty nice. And there's a historic fort!

    Alfredo, pesto, or marinara?
