GAME: This Or That?

You mean, to buy? Neither! It does not keep! I always buy it in chunks, and slice or grate it at the last minute.

On pasta, grated: emmenthal or parmigiano?

I don't know the first so I'll take the second.

Usually before, albeit with a LOT of caveats (i.e., species, environment it came from, freshness, who's preparing it, and how).

Poor & insecure but happy, or fiscally sufficient but utterly miserable ?

MidasKnight · Post by **MidasKnight** » Fri Mar 27, 2009 4:59 pm

I don't believe you can be secure and miserable so someone else answer that one.

Question clarified ... although the distinction was merely one of degree, not validity.

fiscally sufficient but utterly miserable (I would have taken the former but the word insecure put me off)

The only thing worse than the evil rich is the evil poor.

Not a verbatim quote but that was the essence of it - from Les MisÃ©rables... I think

I wont' ever knowingly dive into freezing water, so: unknowingly.

Swimming pool water: a trifle too cold or a trifle too warm?

Victor Hugo, in Les MisÃ©rables wrote: une laideur sociale plus affreuse peut-Ãªtre encore que le mauvais riche, le mauvais pauvre.

Victor Hugo, in translation wrote: A social deformity perhaps still more hideous than the evil rich: the evil poor. ...

a trifle too warm

(I went swimming once when the sun was searing hot but the only problem was that the pool was shaded by a tall building. At no time did the sun even get close to the pool. Needless to say that the baby-pool was crammed with adults and kids since it was not shaded)

Thanks for the quote Voralfred, I could not find my copy of the book

Traditional computer keyboard or the foldable/flexibe type?

Good dinner followed by a crappy desert? or Crappy dinner followed by a good desert?

Post by **Darb** » Mon Mar 30, 2009 8:25 am

The former, without question.

Preferred condiment for fries: ketchup or other (i.e., malt vinegar, or my fave ... garlic aioli).

MidasKnight · Post by **MidasKnight** » Mon Mar 30, 2009 1:53 pm

BBQ sauce

never ketchup or catsup or whatever

Chronic pain regardless of position but you have plenty of books to read, or ... feeling great physically but you can't get ahold of any books.

voralfred · Post by **voralfred** » Mon Mar 30, 2009 3:47 pm

Ever had a kidney stone? That has no painless position? Anything but that! Without a book, I can reminisce books I read and loved. But only if I can concentrate on them. No book, however interesting, can distract you from pain.

On an uninhabited island with lots of fiction, but not a single nonfiction book, or lots of nonfiction but not a single book of fiction?

Parachuting? or Bungee jumping? or Reading about parachuting/bungee jumping?

Reading about it thank you very much, I'm scared of heights.

which is worse: being scared of heights or scared of spiders (I'm scared of both)

MidasKnight · Post by **MidasKnight** » Tue Mar 31, 2009 1:44 pm

Being scared of spiders. You're far more likely to have spiders in your world than heights.

Be VERY sick on your birthday or have to work 16 hour days the entire week of your birthday?

Cruise

What's worse: smelling the fart of someone you love or smelling bad breath of someone you don't know?

I would have to say breath, although my GF sometimes stinks the flat out...
