Choices
None of the usual stuff here. No story about family or a past job. No inane rambling. No meme. No sports talk. No bad photos with "funny" captions. No wistful remembrance of some thing (deservedly) past.
This is simply a list. It consists of choices. I hope you have fun considering what your choice would be in each instance.
Some of the groupings will be obvious, while others may not readily appear so. Just the vagaries of my mind at work, so if you don't see the connection - or don't understand why a choice between the items would be needed - then just move on to the next one. If you try to figure it out, you'll be wasting your brain cells for no good purpose.
For instance, I wouldn't expect some of you women to understand why I'm offering a choice between Wilma Flintstone and Betty Rubble. Most of the men, however, will get it immediately - and perhaps linger on that choice for a bit too long to be considered healthy, too. For further elucidation on this particular subject, you could go here...
Without further ado - unless you're really craving some, in which case go to this place - here are your choices.

Hmm, sounds fun. I'll try it out. :D
BTW: Thanks for the linkage. I appreciate it lots. :-)
Soon, with more better stuff.
Definitely.
(You made me check out those Nicholas bros. WOW! Especially near the end. Me and 10 year old watched and went "Ow!...Ow! ... Ow! ...." etc. Fantastic stuff.)
Twinkie - No problem. You're a heck of a writer. As for trying stuff out, I would recommend the Nicholas Brothers, but not the heroin or crack :-)
CC - Yeah, they were utterly amazing. Most of their stuff shows up in movies produced specifically for black audiences, from the 40's or so. Every so often they showed up in a "white" picture and stole the show. The best dance team I've ever seen, by far.
You know those quiz thingies that you see all over these here intertubes? I'll bet you could craft a Jim-Dandy (heh) quiz out of your choices here. Of course, the trick would be correlating personality types to the choices but with your skill and imagination that shouldn't be "too much cuttin' for a cutter."
Just a thought.
Lol, thanks. I had bunches of fun answering all the questions.
Ooh, yay! :::dances in circles, singing::: I'm his favorite person! Lalalalala!! Lol, I'm honored. :P
Is there an actual point to this? If so, then I'm missing it.
.... but that tap dancing is INCREDIBLE!!!
Adam West should be option "C" for all the questions.
And ....

Well I guess we always knew you were just plain weird, but thanks for the confirmation hon.
(Walking off shaking my head..)
x
Buck - You mean you actually expect me to WORK at something? Man! You've got some nerve!
Twinkie - My pleasure.
(Twinkie imported the whole list to her own blog and actually answered all of the questions. I was amazed.)
Ex - Point? POINT? The point is... um... well, there isn't one. You haven't been around here too long, have you? And, yes, my tap dancing IS incredible. Thank you.
Oh, you meant The Nicholas Brothers. Yeah, they're good, too.
Jody - You are correct, of course. My bad.
David - Well, that's a no-brainer, isn't it? And, thus, it fits in very well here.
Jason - You need to play more softball. Especially this weekend. We're having Bacon, you know.
Shrinky - I'd walk away shaking my head, too, but it's my blog.
I'm answering your questions over at one of my other blogs -
http://gibberingidiotpress.blogspot.com/2008/07/zombie-meme-from-my-wife.html
That's a specific entry - but I thought you might be amused.
Kevin - I'm glad you realize the importance of these questions. They may decide the fate of the world someday! Would you want a Pepsi-swilling Wilma-lover as our President, forcing us to chow down on tofu dogs? I should think not!
I love you for the "Grecian Urn or Henway?" question. That is all.
this is interesting. not because i'd make a choice on most of the questions... i think there are 3 that i would. but. that i'd choose debate on almost all of them. and really... before this list? i wouldn't've considered anarchy!
I can't believe I did the whole thing (well, most of it). I need a life.

Soon, With More Better Stuff?
Just wondering if everyone knows about those Sears Roebuck catalogs? Mentioning them and Charmin for a choice would be a way of discerning one's age perhaps -wouldn't it? I mean, only the really old farts who read this might know the point to that one. And boy, the old catalogs really could get to the point, oouldn't they?
I'[ll be back as soon as I can stop guffawing over that 6 minus one meme.
BTW, NEVER Thurston Howell. Always the professor - he could invent a way to make money from the coconut leaves. (Why he couldn't fix the boat was always beyond me . . . )
Holy cow the Nicholas Brothers. I actually saw that movie once but couldn't have remembered the name to save my life (then again, lately I have trouble with my own = I have to check my blog sometimes to find out). Thanks for the link. Yeah, those split landings from 10 feet up - I could feel the muscle I pulled in 1974.
Here's the list - sorry to clutter up the comments.
Coke or Pepsi? Coke
7-Up or Sprite? Coke!
Kool-Aid or Hawaiian Punch? COKE
McDonald's or Burger King? Depends on what city I'm in. Here the McDonald's is better. And cheaper.
Wendy's or White Castle? We don't have a White Castle, so I guess I'm stuck with Wendy's. I'll have a Frosty.
Soyburgers or Tofu Dogs? We've eaten both - the Mountain Man is vegetarian.
Even though I'm not really qualified to answer these, i will anyway:
Ginger or Mary Ann? Mary Ann - who wears those clothes on a boat?
Wilma Flintstone or Betty Rubble? Wilma - she seems a bit smarter somehow, of course she did marry Fred, so . . .
Laverne DeFazio or Shirley Feeney? Laverne
Marge Simpson or Jane Jetson? Jane Jetson
Olive Oyl or Peggy Hill? Peggy Hill would have made mincemeat out of Blutto.
George Reeves or Christoper Reeve? Christopher Reeve. Although they both met such sad ends.
Adam West or Michael Keaton? George Clooney (the nipple suit was not his fault)
Clayton Moore or Klinton Spilsbury? Clayton Moore
I cannot answer the following questions because I am a lady, pure as the driven sn...bwahahahah.
never mind, I've seen all of them except Gallery. Never heard of that one.
Playboy or Penthouse?
Gallery or Hustler?
Sports Illustrated or National Geographic?
New York Times or New York Post? uh, I think i've read maybe 2 issues of each of them. Ever.
USA Today or Your Local Paper? I'll read ANYTHING over our local paper.
National Enquirer or Weekly World News? CNN Entertainment website
Krispy Kreme or Dunkin' Donuts? Krispy Kreme.
Jell-O or Pudding? Jello
Ice Cream or Cake? Ice cream
I'm grouping the next two sections together under the following answer: Alcohol - I have asthma. Smoking anything would send me immediately to the emergency room. Wehn I was young enough to be interested in drugs, alcohol did fine and was legal and cheaper.
Marijuana or Alcohol?
LSD or Peyote?
Heroin or Crack?
Menthol Cigarettes or Non-Menthol?
A Pipe or A Cigar?
Snuff or Chewing Tobacco?
Ivory or Dove? Body wash
Tidy Bowl or 2000 Flushes? Scrubbing bubbles
Charmin or The Sears-Roebuck Catalogue? Charmin, but my great-grandmother had the catalogue in her outhouse. (yes indeed, she had an outhouse - oh shut up, I'm not THAT old. She just couldn't be bothered with any of that newfangled stuff until well into the 70s.)
OK I've burst a blood vessel trying to choose. Deep Purple *OR* Led Zep? Not possible.
Alice Cooper or KISS?
Rush or The Guess Who?
AC/DC or Black Sabbath?
Deep Purple or Led Zep?
The Who or The Rolling Stones?

Jerry Lee Lewis or Little Richard?
Baseball or Football? Baseball
Basketball or Hockey? er , hockey
Volleyball or Lacrosse? volleyball - I played that one and can at least follow it
Protestant or Catholic? nominally protestant
Reform, Conservative, or Orthodox? I'm assuming that refers to Catholicism and would not apply.
Atheist or Agnostic? Depends on what day it is.
Big Bang or Creationism? Here's where I get in trouble. I don't see why Creationists having a problem with God using the Big Bang to create everything. If he's omnipotent, seems like he could manage little details like creating a universe any old way he wanted to. Even down to peopling it with idiots who consistently disappoint him by arguing semantics instead of helping one another in . . . oh, er, sorry.
Evolution or Devolution?
Slide, Swing, or See-Saw? Swing

The Nicholas Brothers or... Nope. If you've ever seen them, then you know there's nobody I could possibly name here that could be considered as an alternative. They were simply incomparable. Proof.
'62 Mets or '03 Tigers? (Tell me what the correct answer is here and I'll write it down.)
Superman or Spiderman? Superman
Batman or Captain America? Batman
Dr. Doom or Lex Luthor? Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman's version)

Laurel & Hardy or Abbott & Costello? AC
Martin & Lewis or Rowan & Martin? R&M

Wife Swap or A Kick In The Nuts? I haven't seen either of these
Underwear or Pajamas? Pajamas
Pajamas or Nude? never nude - I get too cold, even with covers
Both Of You Nude or One Nude & One With Pajamas? Always me with pajamas. He seldom goes nude. Something about having to get up in the middle of the night with children . . .
Same Bed or Separate Beds? same
Seat Up or Down? ALL of them down to keep the cats from drinking out of it.

Pie Fight or Genteel Social Satire Full of Clever Bons Mots? Pie fights are much more honest and quicker
Thanks for reminding me why I like buffets. I can go back and try the alternative choice! Yeah! That's it! No definitive responsibility associated with the exercise. Infinite and unlimited choices. That's the ticket!
Love You Jim, My Dear SulDog Friend. And that is a choice that is concrete ... and absolute!
