You've got me baffled. But, that's not that hard to do. [emoji14]

Excellent play and welcome.

Not much to it:

1. Answer the most recent opened "this or that" as you did by choosing Keaton and then

2. Offer up your own "this or that" by choosing two things (I sometimes go with three, but I'm also regularly and rightly ignored) that are potential substitutes - yellow or golden brown mustard / the Beatles or the Stones / shades or shutters / carpet or wood floors and throw it out there.

Coffee Turkish

When overpaying for coffee today (which is easy to do), do you want the clerk (excuse me, "barista") to put in the milk and sugar or do you like to do it yourself?

Indians will win it in six. Francona will send a few buckets of fried chicken and a case of beer to the Cubs club house, and it'll be all over for Lester and Lackey.

Well, Miss Maine, I would never be one to gleefully note that you were wrong, but....

Warmer Wool(mix)-flatcap or wool(mix)-baseballcap?

 

[LizzieMaine]

That's what happens when Popeye's doesn't deliver. But congratulations to Cub fans everywhere, and for the Tribe, wait till next year....

 

[Fading Fast]

The Cubs World Series Win or the Redsox first post-drought World Series Win?

 

[LizzieMaine]

Have to go with 2004, because we'd been shown the Promised Land so many times before that without being allowed in. Growing up a Red Sox fan before 2004 wasn't just a matter of "wait till next year" or "1918!," it was growing up with a positive sense that no matter what you were doing, success would be snatched away from you at the last moment. Lonborg would always wilt on two days rest, Aparicio would always fall down rounding third, the late-season lead would be blown, Johnson would always pinch hit for Willoughby in the ninth, Torrez would always hang a meatball to Dent, Calvin Schiraldi would fold under pressure, "here comes Knight and the Mets win," Clemens would always be ejected for telling Cooney to F. off in the fourth game, and Grady Little would always leave Martinez in too long. And you'd complain to your grandmother and she'd tell you about Pesky holding the ball, and Denny Galehouse pitching instead of Joe Dobson or Mel Parnell, and McCarthy not letting Kinder hit for himself, and Williams breaking his elbow in the All-Star Game, and on and on and on. It was a generational heritage of not just failure, but bitter last-minute failure. You learned never to trust anything, never to expect anything, and never to allow yourself to feel any kind of security or self-confidence about anything.

2004 was a wonderful catharsis for us, and I hope Cub fans enjoy that same sense of "finally, it's over." But be warned -- we still carry the scars of the Dark Time.

Deep psychological damage spread over generations from a baseball team's failures, or "aw what the hell, it's only a game?"

Warmer Wool(mix)-flatcap or wool(mix)-baseballcap?

Flatcap.

Wanna drink a alcohol-free kids-maltbeer and get refreshed or wanna drink a beer and get alcoholized?

 

[Trenchfriend]

Turtleneck-pullover, made of 100% wool or turtleneck-pullover, made of 50% polyacryl/50% wool, but machine-washable?

 

[Fading Fast]

Turtleneck-pullover, made of 100% wool or turtleneck-pullover, made of 50% polyacryl/50% wool, but machine-washable?

100% wool - time tested and constructed by nature.

Methinks this question is not purely theoretical and somebody might be doing some shopping.

"Imitation of Life" the 1934 or 1959 version?

 

[LizzieMaine]

1934. Fredi Washington is a marvel.

Nescafe or Sanka?

U-Bet Chocolate Syrup or Hershey's.

For some reason, the store that carries U-Bet near me ran out and I recently tried Hershey's out of necessity. I won't prejudice the response, but am very curious to hear what others think of this "this or that."
