This or That

[LizzieMaine]

Head cold. Nausea and I are old enemies, and it never ends well.

Insomnia or narcolepsy?

 

[Nobert]

Insomnia. It's just sexier.

Flat landscape or hilly/mountainous?

 

[Mr. Pickett]

Hilly for sure. Walking through valleys and hiking up to get a great view!

Books or Electronic reader (Kindle esque)

 

[JimWagner]

Insomnia. It's just sexier.

Flat landscape or hilly/mountainous?

Hilly/mountainous. I feel disoriented in open flatlands.

Oceans or rivers?

 

[LizzieMaine]

Oceans. I've never lived more than half a mile from an ocean in my life.

Beach or shore?

 

[Nobert]

Mr. Pickett: Books
LizzieMaine: Shore, I guess. Beach only if it's one of our rock-bestrewn sort that one has to navigate like an obstacle course.

Leather soles or gumshoe?

 

[fedorafreak413]

I have delicate pansy feet. Gumshoe.

Do you:
Take a fatal bullet to save two friends
or
Take a bullet that cripples your legs and kills one friend

Save my two friends.

Streetcar with a trolley pole or tram with a pantograph?

 

[Fading Fast]

Trolley pole - seems more iconic to me and more "alive" as the car seems to have more "freedom."

For existing rides: San Francisco Cable Car or New Orlean's St. Charles Line Street Car?

Hmmm...that's a tough one, as they are two of my favorite places to eat. But...I'm not a huge fan of the SF cable cars, and I'm a Gulf Coast kind of guy...so I'd say New Orleans Street Car.

Have we done bourbon or scotch?

Have we done bourbon or scotch?

Scotch - have had more exposure is probably the reason.

Caipirinha or Mojito?

 

[HudsonHawk]

Scotch - have had more exposure is probably the reason.

Caipirinha or Mojito?

Mojto...the original cocktail.

Acoustic or electric?

 

[Nobert]

Acoustic. That even goes for the acoustic typewriter.

sci-fi/superhero blockbuster or painfully arty film?

 

[LizzieMaine]

Painfully arty. It's how I bake my daily bread.

Buy your popcorn before the movie, or during that boring part in the middle when the story really isn't going anywhere?

 

[Mr. Pickett]

Before! Well, technically I wouldn't buy popcorn - so overpriced.
But simply couldn't imagine walking out mid-way.

Gold or silver (as for aesthetics and colour preference)

Gold or silver (as for aesthetics and colour preference)

Silver. Far more versatile.

Lager or pilsner?

 

[HudsonHawk]

Silver. Far more versatile.

Lager or pilsner?

Pilsner *is* a lager.

 

[Stearmen]

Silver. Far more versatile.

Black & Brown: Root Beer mixed with Guinness, 50/50! -------------------------------------------1960s, Miss Budweiser or Miss Pay 'n Pak?

 

[GHT]

Never heard of Black & Brown, now Black & Tan is Pale ale or lager, mixed with Stout or porter, here's what you do:
Fill a glass halfway with pale ale then add the stout. The top layer is best poured slowly over an upside-down tablespoon placed over the glass to avoid splashing and mixing the layers.

Around here, if you ask for a "black and tan", it will almost certainly be Guinness and Bass, but will be about 1/3 Bass and 2/3 Guinness. If you ask for a "half and half", it will be 1/2 Harp and 1/2 Guinness. I don't know if that's "correct" or not.
