The Syndicate

Moonbeam for sure. I can relate.

Would you rather have an eternal houseguest, or be an eternal house guest?

Be an eternal houseguest because then I wouldn't feel responsible for how someone else feels 95% of the time.

Would you rather be the protagonist of a horror movie, or of a horror book?

A book, it's easier to imagine your way out of it in a book; reality is a bit more subjective.

Would you rather read a fictional horror story, or a real one?

A real one, those are scarier.

Who is the greatest fictional character of all time?

Well, if I put it in an either/or format, I would have to decide between Mr Spock or Jon Snow. So i would have to go with Mr Spock.

Science fiction or fantasy?

Fantasy is way more random based, I feel like science fiction still requires somewhat of a basis in reality.

Would you rather live with no doors except for to outside or live with no curtains?

No doors except to the outside.

How many monkeys are jumping on the bed?

Not sure; I’m at work, could be zero could be a dozen.

Would you rather monkeys jumping on the bed or jumping on your kitchen counters?

The counter. The doctor has told me 10 times no more monkeys jumping on the bed.

23 or 42?

23 because math is easier with smaller numbers.

Would you rather be a hoarder or be a minimalist?

Minimalist definitely. Stuff is great, but overrated (and a pain to move)

Conifers or broadleaves?

Broadleaf, I’m a sucker for fall colors.

Spoilers or no spoilers?

In my old age, no spoilers.

Sleeping late or staying up late?

Stay up late.

Vacation away or stay-cation?

I tend to staycation, but that’s a lot more by $$ than by preference.

Going to a beautiful place near your home; do you go alone or with family or friends?

A lot of the time it is with Bear Lee, so I guess family?!

Hike or nap?

Hike in the summer, nap in the winter. It's the bear thing to do.

On a road trip, would you rather listen to general favorites, or do you have a "road trip" playlist? What's on it?

General favorites, I still like corny ass old music.

Electric or acoustic?

It depends on the artist, but i tend to lean electric more often than not.

It's December 4th; Have you been Whammageddoned yet or not? (Spoiler alert i went shopping today and I was, so my month is already over )

No I have not!

Christmas: yay let's have a big huge Christmas, or

Christmas: why do we do this to ourselves?

As a person with no kids, I'm a fan of big huge Christmas since it's not all that much effort for me. For parents it must be exhausting.

Heat Miser or Snow Miser?

Snow miser

Top sheet: yay or nay

Yay

Would you rather be a Fish or Bird - Why?

I think they probably lead very similar lives in some ways, but I like the idea of nests, so I'd go with a bird.

Honey or sugar?

Sugar.

Italian bread or French baguette

Italian, I’m a sucker for the semolina dusting.

Holiday lights; white or multicolored?

White

Wrapped gifts or gift bags?

I like wrapping gifts, but I prefer getting gift bags.


Is your family a Christmas Day family or a Christmas Eve family?

Both, we open each others gifts Christmas Eve and eat food that is bad for us and drink booze (for me "other things")
Christmas Day we do a ott brunch and give Mom her gifts.

Travel space with no destination or live on the Moon?

Live on the moon.

What's worse, cleaning the bathroom or kitchen?

The bathroom, gross.

Do you like black ink or blue ink pens? I find most people have a preference.

I personally do not care. My boss however buys only black

Meat or tofu?

Tofu; I'm a vegetarian and aspire to go vegan, but damn, I love cheese.

Do you prefer to watch movies at home, or at the theater?

Home, easy.

No expensive tickets, no people making noises (or playing hide and seek- yes, that happened once), no expensive concessions, beer four feet away, I control the volume, going to the bathroom doesn't mean anybody misses anything, rewind if anybody does, no drive home.

That said, we used to have a $1 theater in town that showed movies a couple months after they'd been originally released, and we used to go quite often. $1 theater is now a $8.50 theater.

Would you rather go with great friends to a place you hate or go alone to somewhere you love?

Go alone to a place I love. Some of those places a thin, if you know what I mean.


Would you rather sit in a bathtub full of snakes or an open coffin full of spiders?

Depends on the coffin. I could get a splinter.

Would you rather die doing something you love or something that would make you famous?

Something I love; I don't want to get famous for something undoubtedly stupid, like getting killed by a horse that fell out of a plane or something like that.

Would you rather have a pool in your backyard or live next to the ocean?

Pool in my yard. Homeowners insurance for beachfront property is ghastly.


Would you rather attend the Super Bowl or the World Cup final?

Super Bowl. Although I hate crowds and traffic, I hate soccer more.

Since I had to Google Mussorgsky, I’ll go with the Rembrandt.

Without music.

Mary Ann ftw

Brad or Angelina?

Close but I gotta go Brad.

Rachel or Monica

This is the wrong question to ask me lol. I’ll say Rachel cause I know which one she is.

Jeopardy or Wheel of Fortune?

Jeopardy.

As a kid I would have picked WoF (I got to see Sajak and White pass by and wave on a train when I was five, and I also used to go to bars where my dad played music and would entertain the ladies tending the bar and the customers with WoF puzzles while I drank my Shirley Temple).

In college I tried out for Jeopardy and did okay but didn't make the cut in the end.

Listen to electric piano or electric guitar?

Piano before everything.

Electric or acoustic?

Depends on mood, but electric in general.

Hanging with the dog(s) or hanging with the people?

Dogs for sure they are so much nicer

Treehouse or Blanket Fort?

Treehouse

Playing board games; play by the rules or make your own rules? (like my family has lots of our own Monopoly rules; would you think that's fun, or would you be outraged?)

Play by the rules, except free parking

Popcorn or pretzels?
