It’s the Tuesday This-or-That<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. Portland, Maine or Portland, Oregon?<\/b> Never been to the former, but latter strikes me as a nice town. Margie says it is too rainy for her.<\/p>\n

2. New York or New Jersey?<\/b> The parts of NJ I’ve ever seen (on business trips) were actually quite nice. I’ve never been to New York, the City or elsewhere. If given a choice fo where to visit, though, I’d definitely like to give NYC a try.<\/p>\n

3. Van Gogh or Van Halen?<\/b> Heh. The former, I suppose, though he’s not my cuppa.<\/p>\n

4. Bill Clinton or Bill Gates?<\/b> I know which one I’d rather have dating my sister, but I don’t know which one I’d rather have trying to fix my PC. I’d say I’d have to go for the Pres to have over for dinner.<\/p>\n

5. Leonardo daVinci or Leonardo DiCaprio?<\/b> Surely you jest. One of the greatest geniuses in history (and a left-hander), vs. a forgettable pretty-boy actor? Yeesh.<\/p>\n

6. “American Pie” or “American Idol”?<\/b> I can faithfully say I’ve never seen either. I have a vague desire to see the former, some day.<\/p>\n

7. George W. Bush or Curious George?<\/b> You mean there’s a difference? (“Starring Dick Cheney as the Man in the Yellow Hat!”)<\/p>\n

8. Billy Joel or Billy Idol?<\/b> Billy Joel rocks.<\/p>\n

9. Donny Osmond or Donald Duck?<\/b> Donny Osmond is scary. Donald Duck is … well, he’s kind of scary, too. And annoying.<\/p>\n

10. Dr. Seuss or Dr. Kevorkian?<\/b> Um … well, I know who I’d rather have come over for a visit when I’m sick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
