Sweet or savoury
Oh Gopher that is a terrible thing to do to a man, forcing him to choose on just one of two major weaknesses...Therefore I choose the greatest, sinful delicacy, of all ! My ultimate weakness and favorite indulgence. Such a sweet delicacy but so very expensive, that I rarely indulge, but every once in a blue moon I spend the 10 - 20 dollars on a medium sized piece of fresh organic honeycomb, it is so sweet and savory, such a delectably, delicate & delicious treat,
I savor ever last bite and I never share this dish ... it is best eaten and indulged in privacy with no one else around to mooch or steal the savory, sweet morsels, of crunchy ecstasy... Oh my goodness I need to go to my little shop and see if they have any fresh honeycomb in yet. I have made my self crave it...
You're supposed to come up with another two choices, Orik

Oh dear.

Rain. Rain rain rain rain.

Grapefruit
Sugar or Spice?
Spice
I've been to zero, plan on going to zero, but if I did it wouldn't go well. I left loserville for a reason, so I may not come out alive if I went back. ha ah ha (I'm basing reunions off my mother's experience where she said the people that got 'out' lived a better life than the 'alcoholics who stayed')
Weddings are fun because I am usually designated the role of Charles from 4 weddings and a funeral. Where everyone wonders when I will get married.

Laurel and hardy are a team you can't break them up. it is like abbot and costello
perhaps if u place
Abbot and Costello or Laural and Hardy
as a choice then we could choose.
abbot and costello wins hands down in my books in that setting, but i you placed them up against the three stooges then my choice of a over all winner would be the three stooges.I still love the slapstick of the three stooges. to this day. i think i have seen all the reruns of every episode by now.
Back to the topic of which has not been answered to my satisfaction
Opera Or ballet
Opera they can be pure magic
coke zero or pepsi maxx
I Haven't tried Pepsi max and I do not like Coke Zero. So I can not answer that question effectively, sorry Sportsdude.but if it is Choice between Coke or Pepsi I chooseniether and Buy a Dr. Pepper instead, which is a Pepsi product.
Driving Or Sailing
I've never tried either of those drinks either...so that one will remain unanswered until there's someone who can.
Kind of the same for driving and sailing. I've never sailed, so I'd have to go with driving.
Silver or Gold
I can not Stand Silver. Gold is much better for jewelery
Gold it is
bumper cars or roller coaster
Roller Coasters....all the way !!!!!
Chicken or turkey
Bumper cars
White bread or brown?
Would that be the chicken bumper cars, or the turkey bumper cars? (//richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)
Oh....such a mix of thoughts in trying to pick white or brown. I love them both for different reasons.
Egg salad on white is the only way to have egg salad....and tuna too.
But a cheese or beef sandwich is best on brown.
Then again, tomato is good on either...and ham has to be white.....woe is me.....can't decide.
I'll have to flip a coin.
Brown (//forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)
Rain or snow
Rain if i am warm . nothing worse than being wet and cold.
Snow if i can stay dry. nothing worse than being wet in the snow.
having worked out side for the past 21 years my prefrence is still warm and dry out of the rain and snow =P
Good choice gopher i love the pumper cars :) dunno why child hood favorite i guess. and being terrified of heights kind of ruins the Roller coaster experience if your to busy screaming with ur eyes closed to enjoy it...
Turkey sandwich over chicken
Chicken dinner over turkey
white bread for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. brown bread for almost everything else
Dawn or Sunset
.
Oh good call ! White for peanut butter. It just can't be any other way.
Dawn. Always been a morning person. New and fresh and promising.
The fire in a fireplace or an outdoor bonfire.
Fire in the hearthplace
Happiness or contentment?
Happiness. I believe that contentment would then get thrown in as a bonus. Kinda like a 2-fer.
Yard work or house work.
House work - projects, shelves, new ideas for the condo or rug buying for the apartment are more fun as I'm not privy to a garden, yet. Then there's that mowing the lawn thing.
Sea kayaking (or kayaking in general) or bike riding
Bike riding
Summer or winter olympics?
Oh summer for sure. Most of the winter sports put me to sleep. Don't even get me started on curling.

Beards or clean shaven
Clean shaven. Men with beards are hiding something.
Pepperoni or Ham n pineapple pizza.

Pineapple although I don't particularly like either. I'm a Mediterranean or Greek pizza man.
Ale or Lager
Red
Paris or Rome?
Red ale ?
I've never never seen Sawdust without a beard.
ok damn....I forget the question.

Cuckoo clock or grandfather clock.
Grandfather

Outdoor public bells chiming on the hour or nothing
Oh bells for sure.
Comedy or drama
Drama for theater not movie theater either. Comedy for stand up...
Movie theaters High Drama with Ton's of Action only. though some Comedy's are almost worth the price..
Whats wrong with beards. hmph, and I am not wearing it to hide anything. Great for aesthetic looks & intimidation factor... I like my beard. The right woman might convince me to return to a goatee but she better be very convincing..
Strudel or Pie
Pie
Lasagne or Moussaka?
Tough choice again Goper.. but in the long run it has to be lasagne
Moped Or Harley
Moped
Thick or thin?
Now just what do you mean by that Gopher Thick or thin what ?...
Thick as in personality type
Thick as in Pasta
Thick as in Stew, Soups or Books
Thick as in body types or thin like the soles of our shoes. thin as in the fillet knife
thick or thin can have many connotations. narrow it down for us gopher, this one needs a little clarification... until Gopher put this question to a point of reference, it can not be validly answered. as it stands I can provide a few answers. but it may not be what gopher had in mind when asking this question.
I prefer a Thick Mattress over a thin one,
I like thick cut french fries over thin ones
I like thick stews verses thin ones
I like a thin dipping gravy over a thick one.
I like a thick steak over a thin one...

Clams or oysters.

Pride or Prejudice?
Prejudice can be such a vile digusting thing...
I have to chose Pride Gopher, albeit self conceited pride can be a bad thing. Pride in and for a friend accomplishing a major feat is good.
I'd have chosen the same, and for the same reason.
Your turn..................
Nod's I understand that Gopher...
That time i did forget to ask =P ops mea culpa

Frogs of course.. who ever heard of eating toad legs..
Tap dancing lessons or Violin Lessons
Violin lessons
Regular glasses or contact lenses?
regular glasses for comfort. I've been having issues with my contact lenses. I think it's a workplace hazard in the accounting field.
Breakfast or lunch?
Lunch is always better. breakfast always seems to be rushed and cold something on the go on the way to work... lunch is always good prepared the night before for the daily haul to work the next day. unless I am home and have time to cook then lunch can be very long =D I do love to cook when I have the money and ingredients not to mention the tools and the time needed...
HI LIL_ME
Fire Men Or Police Men
Lunch
Hot toast or cold toast?
Darn it, I was on the wrong page.
Police
Hot toast or cold toast?
Hehe i've done that b4 gopher.. Lunch is the better choice for sure.. But i would of chose Fire Men over Police.. Must be my criminal youth mthey make me nervous albiet I hvae done nothing wrong.. lol
Hot toast with eggs..
Cold toast with Hot Soup..
Being shot or electrocuted
Electrocuted
Youth or maturity?
Mature & demure looks. with a youthful exuberance for life.
just as long as it is not perter pan syndrome the refusal to grow up..
Soft leather or Hard leather shoes
Soft Leather
Windows or doors?
When I was young it was windows.
But in my old age I have to choose doors.
Doors.
Escalators Or elevators
Escalators
High rise or just one or two storeys?
I have always been a second story kind of guy, Gopher, what about you ole bean ? I have always thought more than 2 floor is to many. but in this day and age of housing troubles high rises and multi story Condo's are becoming the norm..
Two Story house for me. even a single floor rancher would be sweet... but the expense, puts it out of my pocket book range thats for sure. Nice to dream of though...
Stereo speakers Or Headphones
Stereo speakers
History or geography?
Neither I prefer Science
but since I have to choose I chose History. Knights of honour When Chivalry still meant something.
Scuba Diving Or Snorkeling
Snorkelling
Spaghetti or macaroni?
Hey Gopher what kind of macaroni is it ? KD or Home made...
For me it is only Home made Macaroni!
You know the kind that is oven baked, made with real cheese, topped with bread crumbs and more cheese. Damn, I miss mums macaroni. The best part was if there was some sausage, or ham left over, from sunday they got added to that macaroni and made it so much better. If it is the KD kind of macaroni, then I have to say no,, thanks and the only choice then would be to choose the spaghetti...
spaghetti will always be second best when it comes to real oven baked macaroni. but thats just my opinion..
same question for you Gopher or who ever else answers
Spaghetti or macaroni and tell us a little about why you prefer it. :D
Spaghetti. Because macaroni refuses to let itself be chewed. I think I have a tendency to just swallow macaroni....which makes me feel like I'm not eating. (//forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/4.gif)
Tuna salad sandwich or salmon salad sandwich.
Tuna salad is the only choice. on its own or in a sandwich
salmon is meant to be fried or baked, it may even be eatable if it is steamed ( I've never had it steamed so I can not comment on it done this way) or the way i love it best which is grilled. salmon should not be turned into a salad or a sandwich. that ruins salmon to me.
Chinese Or Japanese (the food not the people)
Tuna salad sandwich
Naan bread or pitta bread?
Pita.
Orik....I ALWAYS.....HAVE TO..... save a piece of my salmon for a yummy salmon sammich the next day. It is ambrosia....because canned salmon is icky. I love a nice tuna steak too...but a tuna sandwich is totally different. Same for salmon. One doesn't cancel out the other.
Black olives or green olives
I do not like olives much, black olives on a pizza, and in a Greek salad. green olives in a drink martini but i like them with a small onion instead. though I will go with out any olives at all99 times out of a 100
Pita bread for the pocket I can stuff with tuna salad and extra cucumber and celery and tomatoes and onions mmmm
I understand that PC and yes canned salmon is distasteful, I haved worked for Albion, Ocean's JS McMillan and Viking. So I know what the condition of some of that salmon is like, hence my revulsion to canned Salmon. Now a fresh fillet of salmon or left over salmon steaks turned in to a Salmon salad or sandwich is perfectly acceptable and completely eatable...
Tuna steaks yum even tuna sushi is very good some of that salmon sushi is not bad either.
candle light or moon light
and you both missed my Chinese or Japanese... food question.
but on to the new one of...planning a moon lit dinner takes careful planning particularly the phases of the moon are vital as well can turn it in to a candle light dinner instead.
moonlight or candle light
Candlelight for sure. I'm a candleholic. I have candles going everywhere. I light moonlight too, but candlelight is portable. I can have a candlelight bubble bath...but the moon won't shine in that window.
For Chinese food or Japanese food, I pick Chinese. Japanese food relies more on spicy accoutrements for flavour, whereas I find Chinese food to have flavour cooked into it.
Jazz or Blues.
Jazz
Bob Dylan or Joan Baez?
Bob Dylan
Glossy photos or matte.
Glossy, the matte finish looks flat...
some one has to ask Kentucky fried chicken or Church's fried chicken. Though their's a third but little known choice [a href="http://www.myfoodtrip.com/v/217667/brownies_fried_chicken.htm"]Brownies fried chicken.[/a] you do not need to go to the Philippines to get some there's still a place on kingsway in Burnaby and another place in Langley
Hmm. Can't answer this one...don't know Church's or Brownies. So I guess I'll pick KFC by default.
Iceberg or Romaine
Romaine
Roman's or Gauls

Oh lakes for sure. Love the rivers too, but they can't be still and peaceful like a lake....but a lake can be fierce like a river...and then come back to peace again.
Ocean or lake
Lakes for Fishing swimming canoing frog gigging
Oceans for Sailing Crabbing Scuba diving spearfishing and Snorkeling
Lake's is always my first choice.
Rabbit stew Or Gopher stew
I refuse to answer this question and leave it for the next person.
Oh dear...I was leaving it for the next person too. (//forums/richedit/smileys/10.gif)
You are both way to squeamish Gopher stew is actually made out of tortoise or turtle. it is now made with salt pork and some types of fish or other meats cause the Gopher tortoise is now an endangered species.
There is not many places one can buy turtles in this city so getting real turtle or gopher stew is just not going to happen you actually need to go to the prairies to get a ground hog (aka gopher) for ground hog stew and ground hogs/gophers are considered a rodent they are very edible, just like a rabbit.. in the case of starvation I can ell you that neighbours cat and that neighbours dog will become dinner very quickly and you wont even baulk at your dinner plate then
.
the [a href="http://www.gophertortoisecouncil.org/tortoise.htm"]gopher tortoise[/a]...from now on referred to as gophers, managed to hang on and survive in post ice age Florida. They actually prospered on the sandy hills away from soggy wetlands and were an important food source to humans for a very long time. The gophers were "fished" from their burrows using long poles with a hook at the end to snag the shell and pull the gopher out. It really was a staple and gopher stew was a required dish at cookouts when I was a boy. Then Florida grew and cookie cutter houses on tiny lots went up on those same sand hills where gophers had lived. The gopher population dropped and they were finally listed as a protected species by the state of Florida.
So make up your minds Rabbit stew or Gopher stew... no fair pawning it off to the next person.

Years ago, the Fort Pierce Jaycees held a Florida Picnic at which they served Gopher Stew, Swamp Cabbage, Gator Tail, Armadillo, Possum, Catfish and Hushpuppies. Delicious.

Fascism or communism?
Seeing that Communism is the lesser of two evils [when compared to fascism] I will chose Communism.
Not much of a difference, they are both oppressive regimes, albeit fascism tends to be more racially prejudiced than communism. Fascism is a radical form or thought control to brainwash and corupt peoples beliefs.
I believe we are living with socialists & marxists, who are still trying to bring Socialism and perhaps even Marxism ideologies to the fore front. I do not believe Socialism or Marxism can stand on its own and that is because of the elite.
However under Marxism and socialism and with today's democracy we are all supposed to be equals. However the Politicos those with power or those with authority and or money will always use it to the advancement of their own.
Canada as it is is mostly democracy and socalism working togeather. it Democracy is slowly slipping away from us all.
England = a monarchy. Slightly better than a dictatorship, it was a good foundation to build with
USA = a democracy... But ! it is becoming more and more like a banana republic. With every passing year the peoples free state of democracy, is slowly slipping away and the US becomes more like a dictatorship.
Those of which are connected and belong to the "elite" they will attempt or will demean the value of others by subjugating them to harsh imprisonment or squash the ideology through the removal of rights like free speech freedom of religion. My thoughts are, they will do this by selling a bill of crap to the people and make them believe it is for the better, mean while they slowly devour our system from with in. till one day we are with out a leg to stand on. or a the legal rights to defend ourselves from being subjugated...
They will do it with minimal force, they just make us invisible or make a person vanish with nary a trace to be found. they are the hidden laws, the hidden acts a government they are constantly working with all its means to make the people who are voraciously spreading their beliefs and ideologies to make those people invisible and the ideas they had like a dream or dandelion fluff, just like a cloud when it dissipates with a bit of warm sun and wind.
With free travel slowly be squashed and peoples rights are slowly being oppressed. Does this not remind any one of Russia or Germany. Passports are now needed to travel to or throughout Canada the need of a visa is becoming the norm. It is not much of a step to initiate a police state with the national guard Visa are then lifted and denied Passports confiscated and a once free border is shut down. and this is a frightening thought of just what could happen after that... Orwellian theory or what...
Canada = Socialism and Democracy working hand in hand. We are unable to be one or the other.
Canada seems to have a strong mixture of Socialism and Communism with a resemblance of Democracy, however as of late, I am feeling more like a oppressed serf, struggling to survive in a feudalistic state, than a person living in a democratic society.
we may be a democratic society though we are still subservient and we still bow down to the British monarchy. Living under the thumb of Harper or Campbell life in Vancouver, British Columbia Canada is like living under a unjust feudalistic state lord. these Lords no longer are out for our protection. They are now in it to take from us and repress us.. These Evil lords do be slowly taxing, my family and I to death.
I sit here watching the price of bread, become more unaffordable with each passing year and with every new tax, My paycheque becomes less and less. My dollar goes no were near as far as it used to.
Russia = Marxism and communism, failed and has led to a loss of the peoples will and identity. They are slowly evolving, in to a mixture of socialism communism and democracy. It is a sad sight to see the downfall of such a great nation and people. Russia used to be a Monarchy / dictatorship if I am not mistaken.
I wonder just what the future will hold... perhaps another revolution over unfair taxes and oppression... then again perhaps martial law and the birth of a fascist dictatorship, making the US off-limits to any but the rich and powerful.
Revolution or subservience
Little Fish
Do you buy crap from China......if so this is why your life style is being changed not Gordy's doing ........... To all who want to buy the cheapest thing possible and then go on about what they make take a good look at where north america is going.........down the drain...........we are willing to sell out our life style for cheap goods that make us sick or last less than a year. Buy MADE in USA or CANADA and save our kids future.
DDD you are off topic and missed the post question. answer the question then post your opinions. and FYI, I look at product labels and ask if I can not find a label, I try to buy made in Canada, or made in the US products If I can not find the same product I need made in Canada or the US I ask myself if I really need said product, If I answer yes then and only then, will I purchase, some other product, I prefer my products to last at least 2 years or more and my money to remain within the country.
Revolution or Subservience
I buy what I can afford. If made in Canada products can not offer a competitive price....oh well. Between being taxed to death, and businesses who want to make their millions in a year by gouging the consumer....a part of me is happy to put my money elsewhere.

Trout
I never thought flyfishing was fun but it reminds me of time spent with my dad so if someone wanted to do it, I'd try it again. Fishing in general is a challenge for me. Im afraid of worms so I've yet to bait my own hook. I've used chicken liver before but was afraid I would push down too hard and slice my fingers open so someone else baited my hook those times too. I've used bobbers but didn't know what I was doing so someone else put them on for me. Casting..ugh. I can't cast either. I mean I know what the process is suppose to be but for some reason my line plops down like 2 feet in front of me. My fishing skills are quite comical that's why I'm invited on trips but after a while I'm taking pity upon and told to just sit there and keep the others company. That never happens. I can't just sit there. I'm determined to learn.
Being taught or teaching others?
Both I take immense pleasure in learning something new and it is fun to teach others..
Teaching you how to fish would not be very difficult.. In spin-casting there is no need to bait a hook, since you are using a lure to attract the fish, well it is more like fool the fish into striking the plastic or metallic bait.. the hardest part will be teaching you to clean the fish after you have caught it me thinks..

A Good Personality over good looks thanks. Some women when they are beautiful tend to be stuck up they can be a real bitch and expect others to treat them like royalty... they got a heart of stone and the personality of a wet cement, more often than not, they concentrate to much on the appearance of others like they are the judge of beauty just cause they are pretty.. this don't mean squat when they got the traits of.... well lets just leave it at that.. no need for me to rant =D

not sure never had either....... so club soda
acid or mushrooms
having used them both before I have to be honest L.S.D was much better it provided a longer lasting trip and much more intense but Mushrooms do not leave you feeling dirty or unclean like L.S.D does when you come down.. L.S.D is better for the intensity the longer peak times and duration of the high. 1 to 3 days.. Mushrooms for the cleanliness... L.S.D is a dirty drug the rat poison and other chemicals cut in to it... The strychnine in it plays havoc on the human body.. mushrooms are slightly safer for the human body... but they can be deadly if using the wrong ones.. hell all drugs are deadly...
Better to use none of the above..
And to be honest Peyote was much better.. though there was much to be said for MDMA aka Exstacy...
Knowing what I do now I have to say none of the above, being a drug free individual and none supportive of any hard core drugs.. man made.... natural.. is the better alternative, if you need to use... Find something else to entertain yourself If you have to use drugs to have fun you are doing something wrong...
Beach Bunnies or Disco Dolls...
Beach bunnies
Mediterranean or Caribbean?
Food undercooked or overcooked?
Caribbean for a vacation Mediterranean for food.
As for the food stuffs... Well it depends on the item being served. If that item is Pork then I would rather have it over cooked.. undercooked pork can cause tapeworms and other parasites to find a new host, namely the person who ingested it.
Beef let's say steaks for instance I like my steak rare to medium.. so a undercooked steak is better than over cooked one, but if it is a hamburger or meatloaf I like them well done. so slightly over cooked is better than undercooked.. Nothing worse than undercooked turkey or chicken or duck so again they must be over cooked..
It looks to me that over cooked wins.. in my vote.

Buying presents or wrapping them?
Kinda hard to answer.. you can buy presents and wrap them yourself, or buy a present and have it wrapped for you.. or buy a gift bag and be done with it.
I buy my presents, and find myself now using gift bags alot more. Although SS seems to like the actual wrapping of presents. Bonus of the gift bag is its reusable, which appeals to her with her green streak. Im the type thats surrounded by bits of flying gift paper. She HATES that.

Hi PC
Wow, you have a great memory as I actually did forget about the recipe (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/4.gif) Obviously there's no need to be in any hurry. This time of year is always super busy for so many of us. But thank you for keeping it in mind. That's very nice of you.
I choose tea, Russ. I don't drink coffee either
Green tea or Russian tea

lol... no need to feel guilty. I understand how these can go sometimes. Is the recipe saved on your computer? You could always email it to me if that would be quicker?
No, I have it one of those recipes books that you write in yourself. But I just clipped it out of a Food and Wine magazine and pasted it in there, because it's a little bit lengthy. (not so much to DO it, but to write out the steps. Maybe I'll scan it !
I did look for it online, but no luck.

You're so smart :)

Have you joined any recipe type sites? I joined Campbells Kitchen and love it. They have everything from big meals to quick meals, snacks and desserts. I have the site send me a recipe every Monday. This way I won't spend so much time there :D
Dont know what russian tea is, so Im going with green tea. Think I had that once.
Hi PC! Miss you both as well! Starfishie is largish. LOL.
Instant coffee or drip coffee?
I'll have to check that one out.
I like AllRecipes [span style="text-decoration: underline;"][/span]http://allrecipes.com It's one of my favourites. I like it because it gives the nutritional information details of the recipe and even recommends a wine pick for that meal.

No sir, it isn't. Just because I'm going to bed, doesn't mean I'm going to sleep. So shouldn't the choices have been "going to sleep or waking up"?
Hot if you're referring to weather. The warm sun, the outtings, wearing less clothes is always my favorite :) However, I would choose cold if you're referring to drinks.
Gophie, I choose sublime

Anyway, which is best..
hard mattress or soft
Hard
Which is best Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve?
That's a hard one. Some people see Christmas as just another day or just a day to get gifts. If that's the case then New Years Eve is best as it gives us a stepping stone to another year. Another year to improve yourself and those around you. Another year of memories to look back on, to cherish. .
Ok we got the eves so how about the days...
Christmas Day or New Years Day
Tough one. Christmas Day (I think).
New Year's Eve or New Year's Day?
New years eve.

What????????????
^ LOL..
what??? or hu????
D, They are old forms of ingredient used in the making of incense primarily used mainly by the wealthy.
Frankincense is a very expensive ingredient in the making of incense it is often burned indirectly by adding it to coal. Though some do not like the scent of Frankincense alone they often used the resin in the making of other types of incense.
Frankincense is a aromatic tree resin formed when they cut the Boswellia tree's bark, they let the sap bleed out and harden, they would then collect this resin, it comes in a variety of grades ( 4 grades I think ) and it is all graded by hand.
D for more information on them click these links [span style="text-decoration: underline;"]Frankincense[/span] [a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myrrh"]Myrrh[/a]
Personally I like the Cannabis incense over Frankincense myself, it has a wonderful relaxing Oder.. but the problem with that, is every time I use it the neighbors keep thinking I am smoking marijuana, which I don't. All though when very stressed out another good incense to use is one of the Lavender scented ones
Frankincense is best.. but that is a personal choice it will vary person to person...

A couple months ago Russ asked how New Zealand got its name. If anyone has been to the Netherlands, they may have been to the province of Zeeland.... the Dutch were the first Europeans to "discover" New Zealand.
