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?
"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."
find me at Goodreads
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?
Last edited by Orual; 12 Jul 2012 at 03:21 PM.
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?
"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."
find me at Goodreads
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.
(Pet): fish, hamster, or parakeet?
"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."

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?
Last edited by Elendil's Heir; 14 Jul 2012 at 10:03 PM.
Casablanca, total no-brainer as far as I'm concerned.
.357, .41 or .44 Magum?
Never saw a Magum, so I don't know....
Edward Scissorhands, Fantastic Mr. Fox or Gladiator?
Gladiator, even with Mr Grumpy Aussie in.
My Little Pony, Barbie or Cabbage Patch Kids?
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
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?
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
Pele. Classy guy.
K2, Love's Labours Lost or Mister Roberts?
K2, being the only one of the three I've seen.
Movie-making sibs: Coen, Farrelly, or Wachowski?
"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."
find me at Goodreads
Coens.
Synchronized diving, handball, or steeplechase?
Steeplechase, I guess, although I'm not wild about any of them.
Notorious, O Brother, Where Art Thou? or Paradise?
Notorious. And I'm not even a giant Hitchcock fan.
Wildebeest, bison, or yaks?
Always thought bison were cool. But you gotta give wildebeests and yaks some credit for having inherently funny names.
The Queen, Running on Empty or Serendipity?
Haven't seen any of them, but I'll go for The Queen, because hey, Helen Mirren.
Pretty, witty or gay?
Witty. I dig the clever and amusing.
Ice cream, sorbet, or fro-yo?
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.
The Package, Ulee's Gold or Vertigo?
I haven't seen the other two, but I hate Vertigo.
Droid, iPhone, or Samsung Galaxy-whatever?
Love my iPhone, so I'll go with it although I haven't tried the others.
Google, Apple or Microsoft?
Apple, definitely. Although I use Google extensively.
Uh-oh...: http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/entertai...op-films-list/
Wait Until Dark, The X-Files: Fight the Future, or Young Frankenstein?
Young Frankenstien *starts puttin on the Ritz*
My Little Pony, the Care Bears or Teddy Ruxpin?
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
Hate 'em all. Uh... Care Bears?
Zardoz, The Avengers or Beetlejuice?
The Avengers, undoubtedly. Not even close.
Annapolis, Boston or Chicago?
Squash, as long as it's butternut or some such (I hate summer squash).
Peppermint, spearmint, or wintergreen?
Peppermint. Love it in candy, ice cream and/or toothpaste.
Dallas, El Paso or Fredericksburg?
I dunno, maybe El Paso because of the song.
Root beer, cola or lemon-lime soda?
Root beer. Better still, a root beer float for dessert.
Grand Rapids, Honolulu or Indianapolis?
Honolulu. I would love a Hawaiian vacation right about now.
Gold, silver, or platinum?
Gold, please. Shiny and timelessly valuable.
Jamestown, Kenosha or Laramie?
Jamestown, I guess. More history. Although I'll alwaybs be grateful to Kenosha for Osh Kosh B'Gosh.
Jenna Jameson, Kim Kardashian or Lois Lane?
Lois Lane! A more useful human being than the other two, despite being fictional.
Turkey, chicken, or duck?
Duck. Mmm. Yummy, crackly duck.
Minneapolos, Nashville or Orlando?
Minneapolis!
South America, Africa, or Asia?
South America; I've recently got a bee in my bonnet about how I'd like to travel to Argentina.
Australia, Europe, or North America?
Australia. Never been there, have read a lot about it, and would love to go sometime.
Parma Heights, Quincy or Raleigh?
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?
