This or That

[V.C. Brunswick]

John Denver or Henson Cargill?

 

[GHT]

John Denver, although given the choice I would have said Ollie Neutron Bomb, but only because I had a bit of a crush at the time.

 

[GHT]

Getting old sucks, I forgot to give you a choice. What am I like?
Arthur Stanley Jefferson or Norvell Hardy?

 

[GHT]

Aw c'mon, they are: "Laurel and Hardy."

 

[MisterCairo]

Stan Laurel.

Madeira or port?

 

[Fading Fast]

Stan Laurel.

Madeira or port?

A dry or semi-dry port, but to be fair, I have not had Madeira in many, many years.

Since it is (or was) single digits wind chill in NYC this morning:

Irish Coffee or a Hot Toddy?

 

[GHT]

Oi! enough of the grog temptation, it's one of my Lenten abstinences. But if you twist my arm, Irish Coffee.
Sherlock Holmes or Philip Marlowe?

 

[Fading Fast]

Holmes, the drug-addicted intellectual with all his quirks gets the nod over the very enjoyable Marlowe as there is something singular to Holmes.

The Saint or James Bond?

 

[LizzieMaine]

In a battle of wits, Simon Templar would mop the floor with Mr. Bond before he could get his coat off.

The Thin Man or The Fat Man?

 

[Trenchfriend]

The Fat Man.

[2jakes]

Velours-leather-jacket or velours-imitation (polyestre)-leather-jacket?

Polo says to go with Velours-leather so he can use it as a scratching post.


For your Valentine sweetie!

Box of chocolates ?

or

Flowers?

 

[Fading Fast]

Box of chocolates, my girlfriend would take a box of chocolate labs over a box of chocolate candies any day, but she would enjoy a good box of chocolates as well.

A romantic night staying in or going out?

A romantic night staying in or going out?

Well as a romantic night in is a gentle euphemism for bedroom gymnastics, and as such things, for me, requires chemical help, and a good hour's wait because my love life's like one of those Disney rides: You wait for 90 minutes for something that's all over in two:
Going out.
A picnic by the river, or a day trip to the beach (if it were possible.) I appreciate that not everyone has the sort of beach access that we enjoy.

 

[2jakes]

As much as I enjoy deep sea fishing with friends. Lately, I would have to opt for a quiet spot on the river fishing...
away from all the crowds & noise pollution.

When going to your favorite places , do you prefer...

Early morning drive & greet the sun as it rises?

or

Sunset drive & greet the moon as it rises?

Sunset drive & greet the moon as it rises?

Early morning drive to greet the sun and know you have the entire day ahead of you.

On vacation, a cocktail in the room as you are getting dressed for dinner or waiting and, once all spic and span, having one as you get to the restaurant / bar?

 

[Trenchfriend]

Second.

Classic sweaty jersey-bedclothes or better, more breathable seersucker-bedclothes on cold winter-nights?

Plain old cotton sheeting. Yes, it wrinkles. That's why I have an ironer

Cotton mattress or inner spring?

 

[Trenchfriend]

Inner spring!

[Fading Fast]

Inner spring!

The answer always is the drink with alcohol in it.
