THIS or THAT: the game

Cuervos626

Mars, was the name of a friend.

Where to go and die: Africa or Australia?

3mon

Africa ("The queen died down there" - not something my ghost would wanna hear :afr2:)

Somebody's booger on your jacket or Somebody's piss on your shoe?

flozen

Two enchanting choices! I really wouldn't be too miffed by a little spray on my shoes. PM me for details. Just kidding.

THIS or THAT: Amy Sedaris or David Sedaris, with a brief explanation.

JohnAllenson

David. I was enchanted by his collections Squirrel Seeks Chipmucnk and Me talk Pretty One Day. I must have seen Amy Sedaris in SOMETHING but she's left no impression.

Armistead Maupin or David Leavitt

@JohnAllenson:

I must have seen Amy Sedaris in SOMETHING but she's left no impression.

I hope you have an opportunity to check Amy out in her earlier, absurd and raunchy Comedy Central work, Strangers with Candy, and that your cable provider carries TruTV, which just finished airing season 1 of her trippy show, At Home with Amy Sedaris.

And I'll pick Maupin on the (I know, expected) strength of Tales of the City. In truth, I need to access more of Leavitt's work.

THIS or THAT: Comedienne Kathy Griffin or Roseanne Barr?

2222

I have no idea lol Kathy Griffin

Smartphone: Samsung or Sony

Cuervos626

Samsung, like all my other stuff.

What's more manly, abs or pecs?

flozen

I'm more impressed by killer abs, they seem to be a bit harder to obtain, imho.

THIS or THAT: Boo! The collected performances of Vincent Price or Boris Karloff? >:D

JohnAllenson

Vincent Price. One of the things I've been unable to find on the Internet is the Snoop Sisters. He had fun playing a campy actor in one of the episodes,

Lemon meringue or key-lime

flozen

As a native Floridian I must go with Key Lime Pie, yummy tartness, graham cracker crust, and always a creamy yellow color – if it is green, you're being played.

We had a tree in our backyard when I was a wee lad.

THIS or THAT: Front-row seats at a Las Vegas concert by Cher or Celine Dion?

JohnAllenson

Cher. I don't care for her music but I respect the fact that she's had a good career as a singer, AND a good career as a comedy actress, AND a good career as a serious actress. Let's face it some of the divas who would want to replace aren't capable of getting a joke much less telling one.

Barbra or Bette

flozen

At first my mind went to Bette Davis, and I thought it to be a strange comparison. :faint:

In any event, I'll take Bette Midler over Babs any day. To be fair, I have only seen Bette in person (Hello, Dolly! on Broadway last year). Both ladies absolutely rule the stage with their presence, but I prefer the warmer, bawdier style of the Divine Miss M.

(Not that Bette doesn't have diva moments. There was no ice allowed in our drinks at the theatre, so as not to distract from her concentration, lol.)

THIS or THAT: New Wave-era bands ABC, or Depeche Mode?

JohnAllenson

That is a difficult one. I like them both. I've been trying to find the 'How to be a Millionaire' video from ABC for ages. But I think Depeche Mode has more breadth to their music. So, DP for 'Masters and Servants'.

Queerer New-Age bands: Frankie Goes to Hollywood or Bronski Beat.
(Pity virtually no one knows about Tom Robinson or Pete Shelley anymore.)

flozen

Bronski Beat by a nose (today was the Kentucky Derby, which I'll be using in your other thread shortly).

For all the bombast of FGTH, I am reminded of the quiet power of certain BB songs like It Ain't Necessarily So:

_It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
The things that you're liable
To read in the Bible
It ain't necessarily so

David was small but oh my
David was small but oh my
He shot Goliath
Who lay down and dieth
Little David was small but oh my

Jonah he lived in a whale
Jonah he lived in a whale
He made his home in that fishes abdomen
Jonah he lived in a whale

Moses was found on a stream
Moses was found on a stream
Floated on water old Pharaoh's daughter
Fished him she says from that stream

It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
They tell all your children
The devil he's a villain
It ain't necessarily so_

THIS or THAT: You must make one of your favorite dinner recipes with a substitution of Velveeta (highly processed cheese), or Spam (highly processed meat).

anyuh

Spam fries for dinner :cheers:

go to the beach or mountain hiking

JohnAllenson

hiking.

By the way,'It Ain't Neccessarily So' is a cover of a Gershwin song from Porgy and Bess. Here's Ella Fitzgerald's duet with Louis Armstrong version from 1951.
