Blabby,
Here's my clunker. The other one is packed behind some boxes and I can't reach it to send you a picture, but you're welcome to it.

Here's some Sam Cooke as well ^

Oooh I like that first car blabby! Thank you!

Pinto vs Pacer? Pinto. My mother had one and I used to play in it in the driveway and pretend it was a submarine.

I remember they exploded easily, but I'm OK to live a little.

same question

i'd prefer the pacer, they are collectors items now in good condition, very rare. most were recycled into somebody's front bumper. and Isabella, i have a portable that looks a bit like your excellent specimen. wish i could take quick pics and quickly post them.

choose one-
cheese tortellini in marinara
or
rotini in double-thick beef broth

That looks like a Royal or Olivetti manual typewriter.

I used a manual typewriter at work in 1980.


IBM Selectric, or a primitive word processor from 1980?

the primitive word processor compared to the estimable selectric, is like comparing an electrically recorded 78 to an acoustically recorded 78.

choose one-
black ink
or
blue ink

I'll take the beef broth dish, thanks!

IBM over the word processor.

Black ink.

Tell my kitten to stop waking me up too early, or just go with it?

give your kitty a big sloppy kiss on the nose and he'll leave you alone.

choose one-
an itch you can't scratch
or an itch you can but it keeps coming back for more

I loved the Selectric. Couldn’t make heads or tails over the word processor,

Blue ink.

Go with it.


Fountain pen, or ballpoint pen?

I had an itch I couldn't scratch when I was falling asleep this morning. I couldn't move to scratch it or else my kitten would have jumped in my hair to play. That's her wakeup call.

I'd rather have the itch that keeps coming back.

Ballpoint pen


Godzilla or King Kong?

That's so weird! ^

I was going to say "I'll take ______ for $500, Alex" on my last response.

I thought it would sound like I was referring to Alex Plank if you didn't understand. :P

- I'll take Politics for $500 Alex. The Daily Double.

"Words that sound like" or "Potpourri" ?

We need a Jeopardy category here. Do you know if there's one?

I would pick Words That Sound Like.

"Famous Actors Who Were in Harry Potter"

or

"19th Century British Neo-Romantic Literature with Gothic Elements" ?

i was never a Jeopardy! champion, lucky if i get every other answer right. i'd have better luck with the former than the latter, for sure, even though i've never even seen a harry potter flick.

sports questions
or
politics questions [american politics]

I did OK on Jeopardy, but nothing spectacular. I knew the Jane Eyre question once in Final Jeopardy, and none of the contestants did.


I've never seen or read HP either.


I'd pick Politics questions.

(List two American politics questions: I'll see if I know the answer - just curious!)
