This or That

1. Coney Island or Palisades Park?

2. Disneyland or Knott's Berry Farm?

3. Long Beach Pike or Pacific Ocean Park?

If you are talking vintage (which I lived in my past life...lol):

1) The old Coney Island. Especially old Luna Park.

2) Disneyland. I've always had a fondness for Knott's Berry Farm, but I wish it was the way it used to be. It's needs it's charm back.

3) Again, if you are talking vintage, I'll pick Long Beach Pike.

<-----I want to go there.

real fur or faux fur?

Although I do own vintage items with fur (mostly because it was given to me as gifts), I prefer neither. I am very conflicted when it comes to this topic. When it comes to leather, I always try to pick genuine leather products. I don't feel comfortable buying faux leather anymore for personal reasons.

red lipstick: yes or no?

I love the look of red lips (for that vintage appeal), but this was one of those things I gave up for personal reasons. No red lips for me anymore.

-----------

Hmmmm.....

Question....question.....question......

1) A climate that is too hot or a climate that is too cold?

2) To be rich and sad or to be poor and happy?

Last night I took a walk in the dark
A swingin' place called Palisades Park
To have some fun and see what I could see
That's where the girls are
I took a ride on the Chute the Chute
The girl I sat beside was awful cute
And when it stopped she was holding hands with me

My heart was flying
Up! Like a rocket ship
Down! Like a roller coaster
Fast! Like a Loop the Loop
And around like a Merry Go Round!
We ate and ate at a hot dog stand
We danced around to a rockin' band
And when I could, I gave that girl a hug
In the Tunnel of Love

You'll never know how a great a kiss can feel
When you're stopped at the top of a ferris wheel
When I fell in love down at Palisades Park

Unsweetened. The classy places bring the jar right to your table and mix it up in the glass while you watch.

Ewwww. No.

Parsely or cilantro?

 

[Marc Chevalier]

I've never understood the point of using parsley as a garnish. Wonder what the origin of that is? Something concocted by parsley farmers?

 

[vitanola]

Gallagher and Shean, positively and absolutely. I used to know a dozen verses of that song.

Van and Schenck or Ford and Glenn?

Van and Schenck. More energy, and of course their projection could fill the largest hall without the assistance of amplification

Vaughn De Leath or Betty Morgan?

No. The stuff supposedly freshens your breath after eating the rest of the food. I'll take an altoids thanks.

Thanks! So, at some point in the past, people were expected to eat it. Wonder when they stopped, and why the garnishing continued anyway?
