1) Star Wars or Star Trek ?
2) Pulp or No Pulp orange juice ?
3) Scrambled or sunny side up eggs ?
4) Sandals or shoes ?
5) PC or Mac
6) Cold Play before they sold out or after they sold out ?
7) "Disco sucks" or "Disco has a lot of spirituality and social commentary behind the commercial saccharine veneer"

1) I think it's okay to like both Stars Wars and Star Trek
2) I'll just eat the orange and leave the juice in the store
3) I prefer my eggs to be inside a cake
4) Shoes when it's cold, sandals when it's hot
5) I can't justify the cost of a Mac
6) Pass
7) I can listen to ONE disco song - that's my limit - and the second statement is hilarious.

1) Both...they each have their merits. The original Star Trek series is the bomb. A New Hope was the coolest movie I ever saw at the time in 1978. Took my girlfriend on my motorcycle to the theater and we watched it twice.

2) Oranges...no juice.

3) Over Easy...very easy. Or poached for a great Egg Benedict.

4) Sandals most of the time, shoes when needed.

5) PC, simply because I have been using them for nearly 43 years with my first TRS-80 (I still have a TRS-80 New in the box...). I cut my teeth before PC's on my moms work mainframe (she was a System's Analyst for a bank and we used to play around with the IBM Mainframe).

6) Cold Play? Is that when you play outside without a coat?

7) Disco Sucks...hard core hippy rocker here. But I do like a lot of new stuff, just not Cold Play...lol.

4. Shoes because I need more support than sandals (but I love sandals)

1. Both, for different reasons. Advantage, Star Wars.

2. Makes no nevermind.

3. Sunnyside Up.

4. Barefoot in all seasons. Unless going out on errands.

5. PC

6. Artistic "sell out" = "You're all individuals. Yes, we're all individuals." Monty Python, "Life of Brian".

7. See above answer.

1) Star Trek, though only because Star Wars is crap
2) No Pulp -- pulpy OJ makes me choke
3) Scrambled
4) Shoes
5) PC
6) I have barely listened to anything remotely popular since the 70ies, but the one or two Coldplay songs I've heard weren't bad.
7) Disco Sucks. Part of the reason why I dropped out of popular music in the 70ies -- I detested both Disco AND Punk.

12. A Mac is an absurdly overpriced PC.

My computers run Linux and rarely cost more than $100.

If anyone wants a computer that "just works" I recommend a Chromebook.

If anyone wants to "learn about computers" I recommend a Raspberry Pi. Get a kit with a case and go at it.

You have to pay me to use Microsoft or Apple computers.

Food is food. If I don't eat I turn into skeleton man. That's never good. I only buy orange juice when family is visiting.

I don't like the "reboot" Star Trek Universe at all. Haven't seen any of the new television shows.

Star Wars got better when Lucas sold it to Disney.

Gritty, dystopian, "action movie" science fiction and fantasy are all worn out. It's just lazy writing now.

Disco and Cold Play don't exist in my universe. Never have.

I always wear shoes I can run in.

When The Doctor says "RUN!" you run.

1) Love both! But my favs became Babylon 5 and Person of Interest
2) pulp Lemonaide or Limeaid but only a cup a day when I have them. Otherwise fresh fruit
3)dry scrambled eggs w/wo extra stuff (not in a very long time - hoping to change that)
4) Summner - fake Crocs or sandals, colder sneakers or boots
5) Was given a used Mac (couldn't afford) when a company upgraded
6) When did ppl think they sold out? Like them either way
7) Liked some disco (Donna Summers come to mind)
I was/am a serious fan the original CBGB's Bands (some who I saw there) 💖 and New Wave Bands. .
Some of my best times!

1. Both.
2. Neither. Fruit juice is bad for you. Eat whole fruit instead.
3. Fried hard.
4. Shoes. No one wants to see my feet.
5. Both.
6. Not a fan.
7. Disco is fun in a nostalgic, ironic kind of way.

1) If I was forced to watch, it would be Star Trek.


2) Refrigerated drinks are painful for me to consume. I'm a hot coffee and hot tea consumer.


3) Any way except fertilized.


4) Shoes. I need the support to be able to walk and have my body function properly.


5) Custom built PC


6) Stone Temple Pilots


7) I happen to like disco.

I'm glad that What's Your Favorite Movie? wasn't asked, I'd be here all night.
