This or That

[Nobert]

I guess I really am invisible.

Hey, who said that? Is there someone else in the room?

Seriously, I often write these posts in a frenzy of deadline-induced anxiety, fearful that I will literally lose the thread if someone else responds while I'm trying to hunt up an image or something. That leapfrogging just happens sometimes.

I'm not familiar with either of the acts above, so I'll take Brox Sisters. The Trix Sisters are for kids.

Or Duncan Sisters:

Gadzooks. Just when you think your own spelunking into cultural history has rendered you immune to any squeamishness about blackface.

Chippendale or Eastlake?

 

[2jakes]

Chippendale.

For pet lovers;

Cat or dog?

( I have both)

 

[BobHufford]

Dog.

Country or Western music?

 

[Nobert]

Country, or "Hillbilly" as they called it in the when. Nothing against Singin' cowboys or Texas swing, just my own personal taste.

The villain gets their just deserts, evil plans unravelled and meeting their grotesque end in a maelstrom of scrumptious justice; or the villain sees the error of their ways, reforms, makes amends and becomes an ally of the forces of good?

 

[2jakes]

Dog.

Country or Western music?

Western.

1930’s or 1950’s jazz?

 

[vitanola]

1930's unquestionably!

Chesterfield or trench coat?

 

[Nobert]

Chesterfield. You can't smoke a trench coat.

Quilt or wool blanket?*

*For those of you who live where it's too hot for either, just insert "Banana leaf" or whatever you use.

 

[vitanola]

Quilt

Blanket Mackinaw or Military Surplus "Jeep Coat"?

The Great War for Civilization, of course!

Aladdin pre- cut homes or Sears Modern Homes?

Sears 'cause I've actually seen Sears homes versus having only read about Aladdin.

Fully paved driveway or two strips of concrete where the tires run with grass (usually struggling) between and on the far sides of the concrete?

 

[Nobert]

I've never even seen the latter option, that I can recall. I guess I'll take it, I'm in a reckless mood. Two strips of concrete.

Science museum or art museum?

Science museum or art museum?

This is a pretty standard looking "two-strip" concrete driveway:


And this is a very pretty one (and pretty house):


As to your "this or that -" it is a tough one as I love both types of museum, but have to go with Art as there is nothing that replaces seeing original artwork.

Wood floors: Parquet or Herringbone?

Automobiles:

Duesenburg or Cord?

Duesenburg - name has more going on and the car seemed one tiny notch above Cord overall (in the crazy world of that era's over-the-top luxury cars)

If memory serves, Packard used two main hood ornaments (there were others and several versions of each):

Goddess of Speed


or

Flying Swann

Well done - the entire new eat-meat-near-raw movement just doesn't work for me.

Filet Mignon or Sirloin?

I appreciate you calling the early 70s "new" [emoji14]

Filet all day.

Peanut M&Ms or Peanut Butter M&Ms?
