This or That

[2jakes]

First.
I like the scenes on the road and the
billboards.

Monterrey Jack natural?
or

Monterry Jack with Jalapeno peppers?


(I'm at the grocery store)

With jalapeños always good to spice it up a bit.

Sesame seeds or Pine nuts?

Sesame seeds.
Never had Pine nuts.
Do they taste like Pine-Sol?


Mustard or mayo on a hamburger?

If you say mayo,
Wimpy might slap you on a Tuesday!

 

[Fading Fast]

Mayo (as I duck a blow from Wimpy - and ketchup second, mustard would be third).

Pine nuts have a soft, nutty flavor with a very slight hint of oil - no pine scent, not what they are about / worth a try, you might like them. Which cheese did you go with?

Seeded or unseeded roll for that burger that you have with mayo, mustard, ketchup or plain?

 

[vitanola]

Seeded roll.

Frankfurter Sandwiches or a Hot Dog, a Blanket, and you?

 

[2jakes]

^^^^^^
Hotdogs with mustard, relish & glass bottle of Coke on weekends
at the Cony Island diner after the flicks at the old Rialto Theatre
with my main squeeze by my side!
Life is Grand!

Chocolate with sprinkled nuts or other flavor ice cream cone?

 

[Trenchfriend]

Nice girls or nice music??

Cavaliers, of course!

You answered the wrong question.

FRANKFURTER SANDWICHES:

Or A HOT DOG, A BLANKET, AND YOU:

Well old boy if you had included the music video with your original question, there wouldn't have been a wrong answer.
But I'm sure you bloody well
knew this.

And I still prefer a "Hot Dog, a Blanket
and You" to listen with my main squeeze.


Going on vacation taking the fastest route possible to get to your favorite
spot?

Or taking the slow scenic route at a leisure pace stopping along the way
to enjoy a bite of your favorite food
before you get to your spot.


Your answer will say much about
you .

 

[vitanola]

Well, there was first good old Omar with "A Loaf of Bread, A Jug of Wine, and Thou". This inspired the more modern "A Cup of Coffee, a Sandwich, and You" , which was then followed up by "A Hot Dog, a Blanket, and You". I think that the modern equivalent might be something like "A Shyster, a Klyster, and You".


As far as the answer to your question, I prefer to take U.S. routes, running through every burgh, preferably at thirty-five miles an hour, just puttering along the highway in a little Flivver. After all, getting there is half the fun, isn't it?

Bread and butter pickles or Kosher Dills?

 

[2jakes]

Kosher.
I totally agree, the fun part is getting up early in the morning
just before the sun rises and not much traffic.
Take my sweet time and enjoy the ride at a slow pace.
Mostly on the roads that are not traveled by the speeding
healots. If I have to take the freeway, I try to maintain a
speed with the traffic. As much as I enjoy a slow pace, I
will not drive at turtle speed on the fast freeways. Which
is just as dangerous as speeding.
I am fortunate to have farm roads that my ’39 & ’46 vehicles
enjoy as well.

Vintage things of any kind:

For decor only?

Put them to use?

Put them to use / I only really enjoy them to their fullest if I'm using them. Our vintage fans and radios work and are used regularly, our vintage furniture is sat on and our old books our read. I love the stuff, but feel it only comes alive when used as intended.

Tin or wood toys?

 

[2jakes]

^^^^^
Tin toys from the 30s!

Although my home-made wood toys have a special place in my
heart.
Hand-made kites, sling-shots, baseball stick, bow & arrows.

Comedians:

Silent?

Talkies?

Talkies?

Talkies, I can appreciate silent, but I don't really connect with them as I've never loved physical humor.

But in the spirit:

Slip on a banana peel or take a pie in the face?

 

[2jakes]

^^^^
I’ll pass, I also don’t associate physical humor
as specially funny! Although I do enjoy
Laurel & Hardy. They are the exception!

There is an awful lot more to silent pi tires than silly slapstick.

Try watching a good dramatic picture, especially one with a proper musical score. "Sunrise", for example, is available in a fine restored print with Movitone score and effects.it truly Maine of the best films of any kind ever made. "Wings", the prototypical WWI aviaition picture, is another exceptionally fine drama. "The Winning or Barbara Worth", Gary Cooper's jntroduction to stardom, is a great western, and "Our Dancing Daughters, featuring a young,lovely, and fresh Joan Crawford as the quintessential Flapper playing opposite Johnny Mack Brown, Anita Paige, and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. Is a great period piece. As for comedies, "Show People", with Marion Davies and Billy Haines, is a romantic comedy which pokes intellegent fun at cheap slapstick.

Oh, and the pie in the face:

When I was a youngster (VERY young, as I had skipped a couple of grades in elementary school), I was surprised with a pie in the face at the end of a Junior High School variety show in which I had made an unexpected hit with the parental audience performing the unlikely medley of "You're a Grand Old Rag", "Ständschen", "I Found a Million Dollar Baby", and "New York, New York" whilst accompanying myself on piano and violin (not simultaneously! That would have been SOME act!).

One of my classmates decided to punctuate the end of my act with a pie plate full of shaving cream to the face. The audience was horrified. I stood there for a beat, took a taste with my finger, made a moué, took a second taste, smiled, took a third, and the audience went simply wild. When I got off stage I did castigate the prankster, and told him in no uncertain terms that shaving cream was not only unpalateable, but was a hazard to the eyes. Should be choose to repeat he had best choose aerosol whipped cream rather than shaving soap. I'd be better able to work the crowd, after all. The teacher overseeing the show asked me why I appeared to relish the "pie" under the circumstances. I said : "On the stage, you act"

So, having been on the receiving end of a pie, I'll opt for the familiar over the novel and choose the pie.

I agree with the beautiful silent films you’ve mentioned.
I have them in my collections.
Obviously there’s more than just “slapstick” silents from that era.

It’s easy to jump into the wrong conclusion.
But I believe Fading Fast was relating to slap stick comedies
(slip on a banana peel or pie in the face)
and so was I.

I don’t believe he meant to imply that all silents were slapstick.
And if he did, well...we have you to enlighten us!

Shut up or
I’ll send for the nurse.

 

[vitanola]

Give me "Nursie"!

Great Gravy!

Has it been ten years since I last played Nightengale?

So. "G!ass Menagerie" or "Vieux Carré"?
