This or That

[LizzieMaine]

I just spent the better part of an hour standing in the street in a filthy bathrobe with the seat torn out, so I guess that would be the answer.

Go straight back to bed or wait until the adrenaline wears off?

 

[2jakes]

I hope you are ok!

Polo hopes you won’t catch a cold being exposed like that!

 

[2jakes]

Going back to bed,
but the adrenaline will probably have to take it’s course,
regardless.


Roasted marshmallows?

or

Roasted peanuts?


(G’nite Lizzie)

 

[LizzieMaine]

Roasted peanuts in a little brown paper bag.

The woman who lived in the house was apparently hurt jumping out the window, but seems to be OK otherwise. The authorities are calling the fire "suspicious," but aren't saying anything beyond that. The house is right next door to -- as in about ten feet away from -- the house where the meth lab was. Maybe it was some kind of druggie revenge hit, and they got the wrong address in the dark.

Believe in conspiracy theories or figure there's a simple explanation for everything?

 

[Fading Fast]

Very funny timing as, just this morning, I read a piece on this:

http://www.mauldineconomics.com/this-week-in-geopolitics

I've always been agreement with the author - somethings are explainable simply, some things are the result of behind-the-scenes machinations, but I've never believed in some global cabal pulling incredible levers that rule the world.

Open-faced or traditional sandwiches?

P.S., very glad you are okay / sorry you had the night you did.

 

[LizzieMaine]

Traditional. I always drop open face sandwiches on the floor and they always land open face down.

Unwrap a sandwich completely to eat it or leave in the wrapper, just exposing the part you're biting into?

Unwrap a sandwich completely to eat it or leave in the wrapper, just exposing the part you're biting into?

Unwrap it completely. It's more civilized.

Christmas present for three year old nephew/ niece: toy drum or toy horn?

 

[Fading Fast]

How much do you not like his / her parents - the drums if you really don't like them.

A gift you have chosen (seriously hinted at) or a true, completely surprise gift?

 

[Trenchfriend]

Chosen.

Chocolate-bar or chocolate-icecream?

 

[2jakes]

Chocolate ice cream with bits of chocolate bar in it.

Patch it up and use as is at 50% reliability?
or
Remove and replace with new?

 

[Trenchfriend]

First.

Rhombus-quilted jacket or square-quilted jacket?

 

[Fading Fast]

First.

Rhombus-quilted jacket or square-quilted jacket?

Rhombus (which I had to Google), but probably not something I ever thought of before when buying a quilted jacket (not that I ever went out with the expressed purpose of buying a quilted anything, ever).

Vienna Fingers or Nutter Butters (for our sandwich cookie friends)?

 

[2jakes]

Vienna

Daily-double!

Pancakes or waffles?
and
Black-strap molasses?
or
Other /no syrup?

 

[Trenchfriend]

I had to google. I choose second.

"Neapolitan ice cream" or Vanilla/Strawberry/Choco seperate?

 

[Fading Fast]

Separate.

That said, if you are going Neapolitan:

Neapolitan ice cream or Neapolitan cake?

 

[Trenchfriend]

Second.

Patty or fish-patty?

 

[2jakes]

First.

Limping Lizzie?

or

Leaping Lena?

(Marx Co)

 

[vitanola]

First.

Limping Lizzie?

or

Leaping Lena?

(Marx Co)

"Amos & Andy's Fresh Air Taxi"

or "Old Jalopy" which in fact IS "Leaping Lena" which in fact is "Limping Lizzie" slightly different graphics over several different years production.

If I had to choose, though I'd take "Lizzie" Now when I was in college, I named my flivver "Calvin Coolidge", for on some cold mornings it would say "I do not choose to run". Senior year I bought a big eight-cylinder Paige-Detroit sedan, which I hopefully christened "The Mayflower", hoping that many a little Puritan would come across in her. Alas, I was disappointed.

Literary Digest or New York Times Review of Books?

 

[vitanola]

Go straight back to bed or wait until the adrenaline wears off?

Great Guns! I hope that you are allright now. it will take a couple of weeks to come back to normal, I expect.

 

[LizzieMaine]

Everybody on the street got questioned today by an investigator from the fire marshal's office about whether anything "unusual" ever happens in the neighborhood. Well, now, where to begin....

Oh, and if those are the only choices, NYT Review of Books. Although I'd probably have it right next to New Masses on my coffee table.

Luce's Life or Cowles' Look?
