This or That

[vitanola]

Townsend.

"Life" or "Judge"?

 

[Fading Fast]

White, especially post-1939.

Howard Scott or Dr. Francis Townsend?

Speaking of the House of David, long-time Red Sox third base coach Eddie Popowski played for them in the mid-1930s, and was too young to grow a beard. But he did learn their ball-handling routines, and made free use of them in his famous "Popowski Flip."

^^^ Great announcing - how much does he make you wish you had seen the behind-the-back catch?

Back to Vitanola's (since I'm not getting the reference - no surprise, I rarely do):

"Life" or "Judge"?

 

[vitanola]

Humor magazines

 

[LizzieMaine]

Judge, if we're talking late twenties. Norman Anthony was a very very funny fellow and an excellent editor. And cartoons by S. J. Perelman and Dr. Seuss!

Ballyhoo or Hooey?

 

[vitanola]

Ballyhoo.

"Motion Picture" or "Photoplay"?

 

[LizzieMaine]

Photoplay, just for the entertainment value of James R. Quirk.

Radio Digest or Radio Broadcast?

 

[2jakes]

Radio Broadcast.

Geo. Herriman or Winsor McCay?

 

[vitanola]

Herriman. McCay, though brilliant, is a bit precious for my taste.


Tango or Maxxie?

Tango or Maxxie?

Emiliano Zapata or Francisco Villa?

 

[vitanola]

Zapata.

Tom Johnson or Fiorello LaGuardia?

 

[LizzieMaine]

That's a tough choice on merit, but I've got to give it to the Little Flower on the force of personality. Anyone who can run a city, ride fire engines, and personally conduct the Sanitation Department Band on radio -- all in one day -- is my kind of mayor.

Charles H. Ebbets or Charles A. Stoneham?

Charles H. Ebbets or Charles A. Stoneham?

Ebbets & “Dem Bums”--may they come back for your sake!


But don’t hold yer breath !


Gas/electric or manual push lawnmowers...

 

[vitanola]

Push. Preferably with Iron wheels, no tires.

Wood or enamel drain Boards?

Wood or enamel drain Boards?

enamel.


Carol Burnett or Lucille Ball?

 

[LizzieMaine]

Burnett. A highly-underrated sketch comic.

Teamed with Thelma Todd: Zasu Pitts or Patsy Kelly?

 

[vitanola]

Pitts & Todd

R. Atkinson Fox or Maxfield Parrish?

 

[2jakes]

Pitts & Todd

R. Atkinson Fox or Maxfield Parrish?

Maxfield.



If your best friend baked you a cake & you thought
it tasted very bad that you could hardly eat it...

Would you lie, keep quiet & eat it or tell your friend the truth?

Remember --“You can’t have your cake & eat it” (too)

 

[Fading Fast]

My truly best friend - tell the truth, with sensitivity - we have that sincere a relationship. I'd hate not to have that real a relationship with my best friend.

Since you brought up baking, if you wanted custard and chocolate in one dessert, would you go:

Eclair or Boston Cream Pie?

To tell the truth -- I would rather have a slice of New York City pizza & I’m not kidding !


But will go with Boston Cream Pie because I’ve already tasted Eclairs.


Home-made corn bread --

With sugar or salt? (as an ingredient)

 

[LizzieMaine]

Sugar? Ew. I don't understand the pathological American fixation on sweet. Salt, salt and more salt.

Peel the casing off the baloney slices, or eat the casing along with the baloney?
