By way of explanation, prawn already means "large shrimp." So if you take the term "jumbo prawn" literally it means "jumbo large shrimp" as opposed to just jumbo shrimp. :D

Sometimes it drives me round the bend when people say jumbo prawn. :doh:

Prawns? Real prawns are cool.

Jussi Björling or Fritz Wunderlich?

Bjoerling for me. I haven't heard a single recording of his which is not interesting, including a bunch of private stuff that the better half's father purchased from Bjoerling's manager just after the singer's all to early passing.

or

Bella Dorita

With only the example of the two recordings that you posted as a guide I would have to say Pilar Acros. I do not understand Spanish and so Srta. Dorita's comic song is lost to me.

Fans: General Electric or Westinghouse?

General Electric because they had cool finishes and you had the option of mounting them on the wall.

Bonanza or Gunsmoke?

?

Same was true of Westinghouse fans of the period, though the standard color was black rather than the green used by GE after 1917 or so. Westinghouse did offer their fans in nickel plate, white , old ivory, statuary bronze, and some other finisjhes Ina edition the the regulation black.

Well of course Maryann!

Smoked Gouda.

Bleu Cheese or Stilton? :p

Jack cheese? :D

Black, blue, or red ink for a pen. I had a co-worker that was completely OCD on this. You could not make him use a blue ink pen to save his life. lol

-------------------

And for the questions I could not resist answering. lol

Pacific or Atlantic?

Pacific! :D

Dining Out
1. Italian or Mexican?
2. Chinese or Japanese?
3. Indian or Thai?
4. TGI Friday or Chilis?
5. Hard Rock Cafe or Planet Hollywood?
6. Tommy's or Pink's?

1) Both
2) Both
3) Indian
4) Neither
5) Hard Rock Cafe
6) Tommy's. :D I was completely obsessed with their chili cheeseburger before I gave up ground beef.

Glenn Miller or Benny Goodman?

BENNY GOODMAN!!! HOORAY!

Not here. There's one country station and all it plays is the kind of country-rock that's increasingly more rock than country. And don't get me going about K-EARTH 101 (the oldies station). In fact I just came back from Del Taco and they always have K-EARTH piped in playing the same two or three songs.

I sometimes wonder why K-EARTH bothers even calling themselves an oldies station anymore. Their selection is not what it used to be. :p

Mountain Dew bears a very unfortunate resemblance to urine. I just can't get my head around it

Thank you for telling me something that I did not need to know! lol :p

Spanish Colonial Revival -- So 1920s!

Art Noveau or Art Deco?

Both, but especially Art Deco. See screen name for evidence. :D
