War films or westerns? No other choices are offered

Post by **Sorus** » Sat Aug 31, 2019 4:31 am

War films. Not my first choice, but generally more interesting than westerns.

Foreign films: Dubbed or Subtitled?

Post by **Skyweir** » Wed Sep 04, 2019 4:35 am

Oooh two difficult choices that depend entirely on the quality of the movie.

Dubbed can be irritating when not synched well but subtitles can be hard to keep up with and Id have to wear my glasses

And Im nothing if not lazy so Ill choose dubbed

Time off ... go do all the chores that need doing or you cant normally get done OR chill doing none of them but okay games and read?

I'm pretty strict with myself in terms of getting stuff done after work so my preciousss time off isn't spent on chores. Back when I was working hours where that wasn't viable, I did tend to do necessary stuff first because I felt like I couldn't properly relax otherwise. Now that it is usually viable, I am if anything more dogmatic about being responsible and whatnot.

You can fly! You have a choice between the Superman style of flight - but very short-range because you're still human - anything over a mile per day leaves you utterly exhausted. -Or- you can have actual wings, which increase your range, but make things like buying clothes and furniture very difficult. Which do you pick?

Hahaha lol

mmm .. it would be great to have wings but I figure even winged flight would require strong upper body musculature too and would also be exhausting ... so Ill go superman style flight. Plus SMF seems quintessentially cooler cos almost anything with wings CAN fly but how cool to achieve flight WITHOUT wings?

And its kinda how I fly in my dreams and I really seem to enjoy that

Ok so keeping in line with the super power theme ... invisibility or percipience?

Post by **StevieG** » Fri Sep 06, 2019 6:51 am

Oooooo that's a tough one. Too hard to choose, so I'll choose invisibility - sounds like fun!

Breathe under water, or breathe in space?

Post by **Skyweir** » Sun Sep 22, 2019 6:08 am

Wow Id love to do both

but as I am likely not to go to space any time soon ... Ill choose breathing underwater.

I do have fantasises of being a starship captain and discovering new worlds

though .. but I must allow reality to dictate

Ok ... Xray vision or heat vision?

Post by **sgt.null** » Sun Sep 22, 2019 6:11 am

i'm a guy. x-ray.

North or SOuth Dakota

Post by **Skyweir** » Tue Sep 24, 2019 8:04 am

Ill spin the wheel

North Dakota as it turns out

Horse show or rodeo?

Post by **Sorus** » Tue Sep 24, 2019 10:55 pm

Horse show. Never been to either, but I like horses.

Musical or opera?

Post by **sgt.null** » Wed Sep 25, 2019 3:33 am

musical. I can understand the words.

lady or the tiger?

Post by **Cagliostro** » Wed Sep 25, 2019 7:31 pm

Tiger. More likely to get over the wounds faster.

Feast or famine?

Post by **Skyweir** » Thu Sep 26, 2019 6:24 pm

Feast

obviously

Heaven or Hell

Post by **StevieG** » Wed Oct 02, 2019 7:11 am

Heaven, naturally

Not that I believe in it, but it sounds decent!

Movies: Horror or Thriller?

Post by **Sorus** » Wed Oct 02, 2019 11:23 pm

It's October, so I have to go with horror. Preferably extra cheesy and low-budget horror. I miss the dude at my old video rental place who always used to tell me I was weird.

Plain water or carbonated?

Post by **Skyweir** » Fri Oct 04, 2019 10:32 am

Mmm.. I like plain water with a splash of apple juice or a squeeze of lemon .. sparkling water is nice sometimes to mix it up .. but Im stingy and dont like buying what I can get out of the tap for free.

Kill spiders n bugs or relocate them?

Post by **StevieG** » Fri Oct 04, 2019 11:23 pm

I relocate them, even the white-tailed and redback varieties. Having said that, sometimes I commit mass arachnicide (is that a word??) when the families move into places that could damage us... and the odd occasion when I just can't abide their presence (usually in the bathroom, falling out of the hand towel or similar).

Yoghurt or custard?

Post by **Sorus** » Sat Oct 05, 2019 2:51 am

Custard. Yoghurt is one of the many things I won't eat because I strongly dislike the smell. Maybe I'm just uncultured.

Spend a bonus on a treat, or save it for a rainy day?

Post by **Cheval** » Sat Oct 05, 2019 5:50 am

If bills doesn't take any bonus money away, then it is
saving it for a rainy day. That's when I treat myself.

Food choice for a whole week: (And why)
Mexican

Japanese
Italian
Other, besides homeland.

Wow, I'm not quite sure what you want from this. I guess Italian from the options overall because it involves pizza and pasta and yum, as long as we are talking about Americanized Italian. Gimme red sauce, wine and starches and white cheeses and I'm a happy pappy, although my stomach these days would hate me for it.

As for what I'd eat of the others - Mexican - non-Americanized would be my preference. I lived in Tucson and got a taste of what the good stuff is. TexMex can be okay, but most Americanized Mexican is iceberg lettuce, cheddar, refried beans with lots of lard, and ground beef with spices. And these days, lots of green chili, which I don't care for at all.

Greek - I know there are several foods from this, but I don't have a lot of experience with Greek places because everywhere I have ever lived usually has one restaurant. I like Greek, but don't know the dishes very well. But I've really enjoyed everything I've gotten, unless it involves olives, which I don't like.

Japanese - used to be the same as above until I met my current wife. I would definitely do this one, and it almost was my final answer, as I love sushi and noodle bowls with broth and gyoza and most yakisobas and tempura everything, and the presentation is usually amazing. This Americanized as I wonder if I would like the real deal.

Thai would be my other hard to decide from choice, as I really like their curries, although they tend to run spicier than my tum tum can handle these days. I make a mean massamun curry.

Incidentally, Sorus, I love the "uncultured" joke.

Would you rather have chronic heartburn for a month or diarrhea for a week?
