Young and innocent or Old and wise?

George Bernard Shaw taught me this one: old and wise.

Veggie Patch rocks, by the way. If it's got a "Veggie Patch" logo and is a cylindrical cross section of compressed vegetable, I've probably had it. I tried once to fake Katsu Ramen with the "chick'n cutlets," but they're breaded for health, not crunchiness, even after toasting, so it's not the same in soup.

Parliamentary Democracy or Republic?
(don't pick one just because it's what you have at home -- this is an Athens/Rome sort of thing)

Parliamentary Democracy.
(and Degrassi High was a Canadian show, I believe, so maybe that's why it's unfamiliar)

hmm... I'll say the slide... but that's tough!

Old forum look or new forum look?

by **KathleenJ** on Sun Apr 21, 2002 5:50 pm

New forum look! ...It's much nicer looking and has all kinds of new features! Check em out, people! I know I will!
The new board's a little slow, but bear with it.
...Of the new smilies:
"Fishface"

or
"El Diablo" :evil:

MSN Messager of Yahoo Messager

by **KathleenJ** on Tue Apr 23, 2002 10:46 am

Oops, something got messed there...meh, gotta keep the game rolling!
MSN messenger, I guess. The Yahoo one is the only one I don't have hooked up to my mega-messenger...should I get it? Is it good?
Dogs: The Shih-tzu, or the Cockapoo?

by **Justinpie** on Mon May 06, 2002 12:16 pm

Oh, so totally cockapoo!!

Daffy or Donald?

by **KathleenJ** on Mon May 06, 2002 1:58 pm

Hmm...tough call! They both have fabulously destructive personalities, and speech impediments...
But...Daffy.
Flintstones, or Jetsons?

by **Justinpie** on Tue May 07, 2002 10:43 am

I say Flintstones!
*really wanted to go visit that movie set*
Though a Jetsons movie set would probably be even cooler.

Mr. Clean, or them little Scrubbing Bubbles guys?

by **KathleenJ** on Tue May 07, 2002 11:17 am

I actually did see the Flintstones movie set!
They were filming it when I was at Universal Studios in California.
...Scrubbing Bubbles.
Betty or Veronica?

by **Al_fayyed** on Wed May 08, 2002 7:40 pm

Oooh...tough question.

Thinking about Archie always reminds me of how, in my early college "fan fiction I hope has been burned" period, I wrote a couple things along the lines of "Archie meets the 'Mirror, Mirror' episode of Star Trek meets the 'cyberpunk' genre." Mostly because at that point in time, I thought everything could be improved with guns and cyborg stuff.

I'm not sure that's completely changed.

The answer is pretty easy, though: it's Veronica.

Betty, although her last name appears on my drivers' license as well, is a manipulative shrew who merely pretends to be a naive small-town girl. I'm sure she and Jughead ran away together when they were fourteen, but after a day and a half, realized it wasn't going to work out, and came back. Archie doesn't know about this "journey of discovery," and it would probably destroy his friendship with Jughead if he found out at this late date.

Veronica, on the other hand, is a cosmopolitan lover of the arts. She may enjoy the finer things in life, but don't mistake her careerist assertiveness for greed and shallowness. Veronica also has a better stylist than Betty; she probably recommended a plastic surgeon to Betty for the enlargement Betty clearly has gotten; some day she will use this secret against Betty, but not without cause.

Another fun thing about Veronica is that Mr. Lodge is probably a member of the Illuminati. With a name like "Lodge," he has to be at least a Freemason, yes? How do you think he got his wealth? :wink:

So I'm voting for Veronica.

My question:
Aspartame or Saccharine?

- Akhmed Al-Fayyed

by **JPSloan** on Fri May 10, 2002 5:14 am

Aspartame. (saccharin tastes like chemicals and I don't want tumors growing inside my squishies)

Moby or Chemical Brothers

by **KathleenJ** on Thu May 23, 2002 11:03 pm

First up...excellent Archie analysis!
I feel the need to contribute.
I had a different take on Betty...I always thought she was a genuinely nice person, but terminally stupid. Archie will marry her when they graduate, but always be seeing roughly eight other girls on the side, hookers not included.
And Veronica will become a powerful businesswoman, and keep Archie around as her boy toy for her amusement.
Betty will know of this, but gradually come to passively tolerate her husband's philandering, getting more and more bitter and resentful, one day culminating in a violent episode that no one in Riverdale speaks of again. Except old Pop Tate in the soda shop, who will tell the story if you throw him a shiny nickel.
Hee, I have some more theories on Archie and his gang, if the subject ever comes up again.
But back to the game!
Moby.
...Floor, or ceiling?

by **Al_fayyed** on Fri May 24, 2002 6:39 pm

Tough question! I'd have to say ceiling, because it's really hard to sleep when rain is falling on one, no matter how nice one's linoleum may be.

Betty will know of this, but gradually come to passively tolerate her husband's philandering, getting more and more bitter and resentful, one day culminating in a violent episode that no one in Riverdale speaks of again.

Man, I really wish they had that in the Archie comics. DC now does a whole "Elseworlds" line where they can do stories like "what if the Wayne family found Kal-El in a Kansas cornfield?" It's too bad Archie is too straight-arrow to do something like that.

conifer or deciduous?

- Akhmed

by **KathleenJ** on Fri May 24, 2002 8:21 pm

Gasp! He'd be, like, SuperBat!
...conifer. They don't have all the mess of losing leaves in the winter, although leaves can be cool.
Bubble wrap, or those styrofoam peanuts?

by Ef on Fri May 31, 2002 7:53 pm

Bubble wrap. You can't really DO anything with styrofoam peanuts, except rub them together to make a really annoying sound. Popping bubbles is satisfying and addictive.
Also, in that Superbat situation, another question I might ask is: What the hell is the Wayne family doing in a Kansas corn field?

by **KathleenJ** on Sat Jun 01, 2002 10:32 am

A very good question! 0_o
Maybe they went on a vacation to the countryside to escape the monotony of their city lives, and wandered off and got lost.
...
Obscenely wealthy capitalist cartoon characters:
Richie Rich, or Scrooge McDuck?
(Side note! I LOVE the Simpsons theory that Casper is the ghost of Richie. "Perhaps he realized how hollow the pursuit of money is, and took his own life")
