GAME: This Or That?

Post by **Darb** » Wed Feb 04, 2009 2:21 pm

I like both. Lemon for poultry, bivalves, fish, veal, vodka, pinot grigio, bottom shelf brandies, and more temperate climate cuisines in general. Lime for shellfish, sauvignon blanc, gin, non-premium tequilas, and spicy equatorial/tropical cooking in general.

Sunbathing/Tanning: yea or nay ? {nay here}

voralfred · Post by **voralfred** » Wed Feb 04, 2009 5:09 pm

Tanning for the purpose of tanning, no. But after a long swim, warm up in the sun for a short while (with a thick layer of high-protection sunscreen) is nice...

Atlantic or Mediterranean?

(aren't all bivalves shellfish, even though there are many more shellfish varieties, such as lobster, shrimp, etc.?)

Post by **Darb** » Wed Feb 04, 2009 9:39 pm

Never been to the latter so I'll vote for that, as a change of pace.

Clams on half shell: cocktail sauce or just lemon ? (latter for me)

AFAIK, bivalves are a diufferent phylum than shellfish.

voralfred · Post by **voralfred** » Thu Feb 05, 2009 2:13 am

Neither. I'll pass on the clams, thank you very much.

Urchin roe or sea cucumber?

Do you use the word "shellfish" for crustaceans only? Wikipedia says shellfish means primarily shelled mollusks, i.e. bivalves and edible sea gasteropods and by association crustaceans and edible shelled echinoderms (urchins). It is rather a misnomer for shell-less mollusks (cephalopods like squid) or echinoderms (sea cucumbers), though it says some people do use it for any invertebrate edible sea animal. In French we have a single phrase "fruits de mer", ("sea fruits", in the sense of "products of the sea") that does not alllude to shells, to cover all of these, any animal from the sea that is not a true (vertebrate) fish nor a mammal, for those who do eat cetaceans or pinnipeds (urghhhhh).

Ditto, except for the pissed part, I just get irritated.

Hence the inside mOOse reference, which was a monty python "Holy Grail" movie poke at movie credits in small typeface.

Glue: Elmers Regular or Krazy Superglue ?

voralfred · Post by **voralfred** » Thu Feb 05, 2009 5:47 pm

Krazy Superglue

Piss people off, or just irritate them?

Besides small characters, there is also the option of very weak contrast

MidasKnight · Post by **MidasKnight** » Thu Feb 05, 2009 6:56 pm

Get em spun up good (piss em off)

A good wine or a good meal (sans wine)?

the grim squeaker · Post by **the grim squeaker** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 10:17 am

Good wine.

Teenage mutant ninja turtles or Biker mice from mars?

Post by **Darb** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 7:23 pm

Both are good eating, and will pair nicely with the aforementioned good wine (make mine sake).

More interesting planet: neptune or venus ?

sweetharleygirl · Post by **sweetharleygirl** » Fri Feb 20, 2009 11:59 am

Venus

Do you believe Pluto is or is not a planet (I still consider it one, but what do I know)

the grim squeaker · Post by **the grim squeaker** » Sat Feb 21, 2009 11:16 am

I would have to say is.

Alligators or Crocodiles?

umsolopagas · Post by **umsolopagas** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 2:50 pm

Crocodiles (yummy, although they would think the same of me)

Who would you bet to win in a brawl between the characters of La Femme Nikita teamed with NCIS against the team of Alias and 24?

the grim squeaker · Post by **the grim squeaker** » Wed Feb 25, 2009 7:28 am

La Femme Nikita teamed with NCIS (Ive never seen alias)

Lose a limb: arm or leg?

MidasKnight · Post by **MidasKnight** » Wed Feb 25, 2009 1:38 pm

Leg. I want to still hug my loved ones fully.

Paper or plastic?

sweetharleygirl · Post by **sweetharleygirl** » Wed Feb 25, 2009 4:55 pm

Paper, as long as their planting trees as they cut them down.

Forest or plains

MidasKnight · Post by **MidasKnight** » Wed Feb 25, 2009 5:49 pm

Forest.

Night or morning?

moonwolf021 · Post by **moonwolf021** » Wed Feb 25, 2009 5:53 pm

morning

pacific or atlantic

Kahrey · Post by **Kahrey** » Thu Feb 26, 2009 12:25 am

Pacific!

Sunrise or Sunset?

Post by **Darb** » Thu Feb 26, 2009 12:54 am

On the water, sunrise (because the quiet adds to the majesty of the experience) ... in the mountains, sunset (sunset above cloud like is incredible, as is stargazing afterwards). Anyone who reverses those two has clearly never fully enjoyed either sport.

Which is worse ... airline food, or supermarket microwave food ?

MidasKnight · Post by **MidasKnight** » Thu Feb 26, 2009 12:56 pm

Airline food.

Who's worse: Vanilla Ice or Milli Vanilli?

the grim squeaker · Post by **the grim squeaker** » Tue Mar 03, 2009 9:08 am

Vanilla ice.
