This or That

[Bamaboots]

35mm, don't even have a smart phone

Acoustic or electric guitar

 

[vitanola]

Tri-ergon!

Naw. Actually Vitaphone. Much more trouble for folks in your line of work, I suppose, but so much less distortion for those of us in the seats.

Iron-rite or Thor?

 

[LizzieMaine]

Ironrite, even though mine came from Monkey Ward's.

Easy or Maytag?

 

[ChiTownScion]

Ironrite, even though mine came from Monkey Ward's.

Easy or Maytag?

You're the expert, Lizzie, but from what I see I'll go with Easy. Those wringers still frighten me: when my mother was washing my kid sister's diapers she'd tell me about how her mom once got her hand caught in a wringer: I was convinced that if I stepped too close to it I'd end up as a Pediatric Unit Pancake.


Oxydol or Tide?

 

[Fading Fast]

Electric - my very Golden Era Dad owned a small appliance store with his mother in the '30s - '60s and they sold electric razors so that is what he taught me to shave with. The idea of taking a blade to may face seems beyond crazy to me (yet I know that is how it was done for thousands of year and is done by many today). And in "Mr and Mrs Smith" - a 1942 atypical Hitchcock movie (and many others of the era) - there is a scene with a man using an electric shaver (that looked like a small brick with an electric cords attached) so it is part of the Golden Era.

Bath or shower ?

shower for functional day to day / bath when I want to feel like Winston Churchill

Black and white or color movies?

 

[LizzieMaine]

Two-color Technicolor. All movies should be shot in shades of salmon and turquoise.

All-Bran or Milk of Magnesia?

 

[Bamaboots]

Tough call, Lizzie. They both gag me.
