“I’ll take ‘Either’ for $1000!” :: “I’d like to buy a vowel, please”
emeline
/ October 8, 2011The excitement that happens when I land on this page and discover the Either/Or is unparallelled. Really.
robert redford: maybe slightly less good looking, but I love a man that doesn’t have his own brand of SALAD DRESSING. Gross. Plus Out of Africa? And Spy Games? Awesome
turkey : lamb is too gamey for me and turkey is too bland. What’s a girl to do?
confront: or else it festers and poisons my brain
unripe banana: this one is obvious
phone: while I love the intimacy of text, the potential for misunderstanding is huge! So if I had to have only one, it would be phone
handbag
philosophy: it’s more tangible to me than psychology. Plus, psych students were so lame in comparison to philosophy students- although I was the Only One not planning on going to law school.
checkers: it’s less frustrating to play with the kids!
truck driver: driving around the city at the mercy of people would kill me.
Romeo: Claire Danes was so irrritating
hide: I brag about the fact that I lived through 15 summers of hide/seek at the stable and NEVER ONCE had to seek. Frankly, I was too scared that I wouldn’t find anyone and would have to seek again.
velvet: satin reminds me of satin sheets, red ones. Which should never be put on a bed, ever, right Justine?
painting: if I had to choose between myself mastering the art of painting or the art of photography, I’d choose painting. It’s something I’m really bad at.

/ October 8, 2011hey, asshole, Paul Newman food products were launched to FUND CHILDREN WITH TERMINAL DISEASES. They also fund the summer camps that these kids can go to to feel normal for a few short months of their short little lives. You’re officially going to hell, but we all knew that anyway.
Annabelle
/ October 8, 2011HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!! AND his salad dressing is DELICIOUS!
Peeps
/ October 8, 2011yeah, his products aren’t bad!
emeline
/ October 10, 2011hey JERKOFF! Why didn’t he chose something delicious like bread? Fine- I did not know about his philanthropy vocations, you got me and shamed me in front of the world. You win. BUT salad dressing IS gross as is MAYONNAISE. The End. I will get my revenge Peeps. I will.
Peeps
/ October 10, 2011hahahhaahahaaa, next thing you’ll tell me is that you HATE BACON!
Peeps
/ October 10, 2011also, jerkoff is so 80s!
emeline
/ October 11, 2011you are so 80s
Jen
/ October 8, 2011Whaaa? Philosophy is more tangible?? D2M
Karen
/ October 8, 2011paul newman — Robert Redford is just so bland…
turkey — yay!
ignore — until absolutely necessary to confront. And even then…
unripe banana — over ripe bananas are just gross, unless they are in banana bread.
phone — what is this “texting”?
handbag — I couldn’t get by with just a wallet
philosophy — philosophy doesn’t tell me I want to have sex with my father.
checkers — less intellectually demanding.
cab driver — a lot of cab drivers have PhDs from their home countries — makes them more interesting than truck drivers, I think.
Juliet — Romeo’s so whiny!
seek — would rather be active than passive (in this case)
satin — velvet is just to warm to wear, and I always associate it with nineteenth-century dandies/hipsters
painting
chop — more gratifying than slicing
“I’ll take ‘Either’ for $1000!” — no question; Alex is superior to Pat in every way (inlcuding passive aggressive insults to the contestants!)

/ October 8, 2011how come i’m the only one with an awesome beaver for an icon?
Liz
/ October 8, 2011Yeah, how come? I want to show people my beaver too.
Peeps
/ October 10, 2011i bet you do!
Annabelle
/ October 8, 2011I’m curious to know what is disgusting about velvet? I don’t like it, but “disgusting”? Also PN is for everyone! RR’s teeth get creepier and creepier as he ages.
Katie
/ October 8, 2011HAHAHAHA, beaver!^
paul newman – always and forever. Amazing man, husband, philanthropist and all around total babe. RR is also one of my favs – Watch this movie for the best of both worlds!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X41Ylp02NRs
lamb….Does NOT taste like POO! GAH!
ignore.
BANANAS ARE GROSS
text – hate the phone almost as much as someone else I know ;)

/ October 8, 2011JFC, Katie! Mayo AND Bananas? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU! Rosy is entirely made up of bananas #howtomakeanawesomebaby=withbananas
Annabelle
/ October 8, 2011paul newman: definitely.
lamb: with mint sauce, delicious. I wouldn’t want to cook it though. *cough* or, say, have to butcher it when your husband shows up with an entire carcass.
confront: i hate being ignored, my paranoid brain can’t handle it
unripe banana: overripe is disgusting
text: there is no other way to communicate
wallet: although I have to carry a bag, but I’d prefer being bagless
philosophy : psychology is for dr.phil
chess: even though I’m terrible at it
truck driver: i think I’d prefer to work as this, long road trips, lots of wheels, bad coffee. Driving around other people would be so irritating.
Romeo: I guess? Not a fan of either, really.
hide: love hiding, hate seeking. unless it’s your own child you’re playing with and then it’s really funny to look for them.
satin: velvet is for Johnny Depp
painting: if only I could paint like my Mom
chop:
“I’d like to buy a vowel, please”: I like to think I’m smart enough for Jeopardy, but my chances of winning Wheel of Fortune are way better. I like winning.
Jen
/ October 8, 2011paul newman- Way hotter in his youth and I like that he races cars.
turkey- Tryptophan coma
confront- In my head, a full month after the incident.
overripe banana- Banana bread. Crunchy bananas are so gross.
text- It takes me an hour to work up the nerve to call anyone.
handbag- I’m a big bag kind of gal.
psychology- Philosophy is just mental masturbation.
chess- Not that I know how to play either one.
truck driver- Husband used to drive the truck when he worked for a moving company. Hot. ness.
Romeo- Juliet could have saved herself but didn’t.
hide- Always hide. Just don’t find me.
satin- I loved the satin on my wedding dress.
photograph- Less toxic, easier to fake.
slice- Less likely to lose a finger.
“I’d like to buy a vowel, please”- Although I have a gene that makes me retain all useless facts, I know I’d end up with Civil War Heroes, Let’s get Physical, and Love poets of the 17th century. Not my cup of tea.
Eric
/ October 8, 2011Newman. No man was more beautiful than the young Paul Newman.
Turkey. Lamb is nice but kinda gamy. Plus lambs are so cute; how could you eat them?
Igfront. Everyone loves passive aggressiveness!
Unripe. The only thing I can do with overripe bananas is make milkshakes or throw them away. Gross.
Phone. It still takes me five minutes to send “Where are you?” Plus I get incomprehensible messages back like “babbage”.
Uhh… Wallet. Wait a minute, why am I doing this?
Psychology. Philosophy is cool too, but there are so many useful tools in psych.
Chess. It’s a real game. Checkers is for little kids and clever monkeys.
Cab drivers. Truck drivers always check out women’s crotches from their high vantage points in the slow lane.
Juliet. Thanks to her, I always use the word “wherefore”. However, it always pissed me off that she notice Romeo was still alive before she offed herself.
Hide. Much more fun, except if you have to wait a long time.
Satin.
Good paintings never cease to fascinate me.
Slice, I guess. It’s more precise and less dangerous. But chopping is fun too.
Show me the money!
Annabelle
/ October 8, 2011^BABBAGE!^ I’m surprised you didn’t choose handbag.
Peeps
/ October 8, 2011PN prob wears a catheter. velvet is like a carpet…filled w disgusting things that you can’t see. also, it feels gross and reminds me of old ladies and those people that pretend they live in medieval times and have foam sword fights in the park :(
Jen
/ October 8, 2011Peeps you’re extra snarktacular today.
Peeps
/ October 8, 2011i’m pretty bitchy most of the time…
Liz
/ October 8, 2011I secretly love those nerds who get all medieval in the park. Honestly. I think they’re awesome.
Peeps
/ October 10, 2011that makes you secretly as losery as they are :(
Karen
/ October 8, 2011Sadly, Paul Newman is no longer with us — he died 3 years ago. Still, I prefer a dead Paul Newman to a living Robert Redford.
Peeps
/ October 8, 2011hahahahaaaa!
Liz
/ October 8, 2011Paul Newman. Paul Newman was interesting to watch, and was still smoking hot until the day he died.
Turkey! Although I can’t stand how every Thanksgiving, someone has to pipe in with “I’m so drowsy, must be all that Tryptophan in the Turkey!!” Uuuggghhh.
Ignore/Confront. To be honest. Both. Confronting comes fairly naturally. But so does ignoring. I can get pretty aggressive with the ignoring.
unripe banana. But I don’t really like bananas.
Text! I would be happy never having another telephone conversation as long as I live.
Handbag. I’m with Katie on this one. You can fit a bottle of wine in a handbag.
Philosophy. There are too many Tobias Funkes in Psych. And a lot of weirdos who are only “studying” it because they are undiagnosed depressive narcissists who just can’t wait to learn more about themselves.
Chess. I wish I was really good at chess. And it’s a lot of fun.
Truck driver! More room, less traffic. You can blare your tunes, smoke if you want to.
Romeo. I have to go with Romeo here, although I haven’t read that book in a long time. But with such a shortage of truly romantic & passionate men out there, I have to give my props to Romeo on this one. I believe “give my props” was a term Shakespeare invented.
Hide!
Velvet. I’m with Emeline on this. All I can think of is pink satin sheets, or anything Meryl Streep wore in “She Devil”. It looks cheap and it makes me laugh. Velvet is pretty nasty — but at least it doesn’t look like a Giant Tiger nightdress from the 1980′s.
Painting.
Slice. Interesting question. But yeah, slice.
“I’ll take ‘Either’ for $1000!” !!!! Seriously. Who is watching “Wheel of Fortune”????
Annabelle
/ October 11, 2011I bet your favorite thing to slice is MUD for your MLT’s!
justine
/ October 9, 2011Holy Crap. A dude weighed in this week!!!! Ergo: EITHER/OR WILL TAKE OVER THE WOLRD!!!!! I love it. Also, I second Peeps’ emotion on Emeline’s Paul Newman response: I mean, COME ON.
paul newman: FOR the humanitarian work (cough; EM), the lack of smugness and the extendo marriage to Joanne Woodward.
turkey: despite the sleepy…
confront: and perhaps too soon, and too vehemently.
unripe banana: overripe bananas are the devil’s work. Disgusto.
phone
wallet: a good wallet can solve many of life’s problems (or is it, cause many of them?…)
philosophy
chess: Has anyone seen the Bobby Fischer doc? Chess is so powerful, it makes people go NUTS-O. You gotta respect that.
truck driver: urgh – cab driver? The only thing worse than a cab driver is the people who ride in cabs.
Romeo: he was a romantic; she was in idiot.
hide
satin: While yes, red satin sheets are absolutely an automatic deal breaker, velvet is almost too luxurious – and really: what/who looks nice in velvet??

Nicely done Annabelle!
Annabelle
/ October 11, 2011Thanks Justine! I feel like it’s such a huge Coup to get you to post! It makes my day-o!
Justine
/ October 12, 2011A coup is your line about Johnny Depp and velvet – hilarious!
emeline
/ October 12, 2011Agreed- Johnny Depp/Velvet is hilarious. And so true! He needs to chillax on the eyeliner too.
justine
/ October 13, 2011What eyeliner? His gaze is naturally very intense (and smudgy). sigh… johnny…
