Handily the Beatles, notwithstanding my soft spot for Alan Price.

Fast or slow?

SerpentKiss

depends on what you mean...driving fast, fucking fast *doesn't mean finishing quickly*, walking slow

Timon or Pumba?

NightBird

Combat boots - can't beat the arch support!

Bullet train or Orient Express?

NightBird

Stupid phone jumps around!

Timon - gotta love the wisecracks...

I'm sticking with the train question, though!

Valerian

Thank goodness -- I thought I was losing it.  Heh.

Cool as the bullet trains are, I have to go with the Orient express.

Penguins or puffins?

SerpentKiss

Penguins...especially ones that can dance. Plus their babies are cuter.

Marvel or DC?

Lovebug

That's true, baby penguins are cuter.

DC. Marvel is like Chinese food, in that I like it but find it fundamentally unsatisfying.

Lion or tiger?

SerpentKiss

Tiger, they're more interesting to look at.

Vampires or Werewolves?

Avi

Werewolves, for some reason vamps have always kinda struck me as arrogant.

Demons or devils?
Your reality doesn't apply to me...

SerpentKiss

Demons...they're well powerful, but can rely solely on their power...but devils think more

Methusela or Barney the Dinosaur?

Sethite

Barney. Just like the one from Flinstones.

Spiderman or Superman?
Truly, madly, deeply...

Lovebug

Superman on the basis that his obligations are global rather than local in nature and because he is so astonishing that it's next to impossible to write anything good with him in it (makes mental note to fish out much-read copy of "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow").

Port or sherry?

SerpentKiss

Spiderman....cos Superman is like this!



Oh wait...next question...Neither, I prefer Vodka...but if I had to choose...Port.

Virgin Islands or Jamaica?

Lovebug

(Looks at big picture of U-Roy and Duke Reid on wall) Jamaica.

Greeks or Romans?

SerpentKiss

Romans. The legion was awesome!

Pirates or Ninjas?

Captain Maltese

Pirates. The ninjas were just rent-an-assassin monks. Long live the individual!

Saber or katana?

O/O            Current stories

SerpentKiss

Saber..as I actually happen to know how to use one (was a tournament grade fencer at college)

Cigarettes or cigars?

Crows

Augh, neither.  But if I have to tolerate being in the presence of one or the other, cigarettes.  I'm beginning to have less-negative associations with them as my lover's a smoker. 

Law and Order - Criminal Intent or Special Victims Unit?

Lovebug

SVU. Mariska Hargitay. Damn.

Arctic or Antarctic?

Crows

Oh yea.  And Stephanie March /swoon.

Arctic!  I grew up there :D

Cotton or linen?

kongming

Cotton

phenylephrine or oxymetazoline?

(the first: a decongestant medicine you swallow, also tends to increase heart rate a bit, not too good for sleep. Generally replacing the more effective but easily-manufactured-into-speed pseudoephidrine. The second: a non-stimulant decongestant that you spray up the nose.)

Phenylephrine is the false decongestant of Satan.

Sample conversation from the chemist:

Self: I am clogged up to buggery. Give me some Sudafed.
Bug-eyed adolescent: Certainly, sir. Here is some Sudafed PE.
Self: Are you suggesting that I stick these tablets up my nose?
Bug-eyed adolescent: What?
Self: Well, given that most of the phenylephrine would be absorbed by the lining of my stomach, I assume that you're proposing nasal application.
Bug-eyed adolescent: What?
Self: Stop quivering, tool of the medical-industrial complex, and give me something with pseudoephedrine in it. Right now.

Oxymetazoline, with little enthusiasm.

Orange or purple?

Crows

Amen on the Pseudophed PE comment :(

Paperclips, because with a very small amount of bending I can make them look like the Virgin Mary.  Sortof.

Serif fonts or sans-serif fonts?

Lovebug

My favourite fonts are sans-serif but philosophically i prefer serifs as a bond with a less utilitarian age.

Automatic or manual?

kongming

Black and metal clippies - you can make office weapons out of them! Of course, paperclips have been really handy for miniature conversions.

As for pseudoephidrine: over here, you can buy it, but they take your details and put it into a computer, so that they can check and see that you're not pseudo-surfing. And the police also look at these. So it basically lets people have their effective decongestants, but also helps prevent drug abuse.

Anyway... scary ghosts from actually frightening horror movies, or ghost-type Pokemon?
