would you rather:

1) be able to juggle better

or

2) be able to bowl better

Juggle.

I can do both well enough, but can't juggle more than four things. I think juggling eight or so balls at once would up my "cool" factor considerably.

When I bowl regularly my average is in the high 180s, which is fine. It's not high enough for scratch leagues, but allows for some great games while still getting a few extra pins in a handicap league.

Bowl; I'm terrible. I can't juggle at all, and never felt the need to learn. Although it would probably help me develop a bit more hand-eye coordination...

I already juggle several things at a time, lol, so actual juggling would be a good thing to add to my repertoire. Also my perspective of people that juggle is that they are more adventurous, while bowling is somewhat boring. So hanging out and learning/perfecting juggling would be more fun.

I used to juggle a lot when I was in college but rarely do it anymore for lack of time and outdoor space. Juggling is especially fun once you learn to coordinate with other jugglers, passing clubs, etc. But finding people who share the interest and have flexible enough schedules to get together and juggle on a regular basis becomes difficult once you're out of school, so the chances of my ever doing this again are pretty slim. Occasionally, if I see people passing clubs in the park, I'll ask if I can sub in for a few minutes--people used to do this to me, so I figure it's okay--and I can still do some of the simpler passes but have gotten very rusty.

I go bowling once every few years and don't mind being mediocre at it. It's fun but mostly as an opportunity to hang around with friends.

Like the Tin Man, Jonathan?

Yes, like the Tin Man. But if they're juggling flaming torches, I become more like the Cowardly Lion.

I hate bowling. Bowling is dumb. So juggling.

Juggling.

so i take it you suck at both RA

I think I would probably be terrible at juggling.

Not if they put the bumpers up the little kids use at birthday parties...

Juggling. My history with bowling is too painful. Don't ask.

I guess I wouldn't mind being so good at one or the other that I could go on the professional circuit and earn millions. Outside of that possibility, I'd go with bowling because the sound of the ball hitting the pins is kind of lamely pleasant.

I hate bowling. I'm pretty sure I've shared this with Kevin once before.

I can juggle a bit already but would like to be able to do better.

Juggling. I've already turned bowling into a contact sport, so I may as well try juggling.

would you rather:

1) have lunch with paulie shore

or

2) ride in a car for 1 hour with rosanne barr

Have lunch with Paulie. Roseanne's voice would drive me around the bend. She sounds like she's regurgitating an asthmatic donkey.

they both sound BRUTAL! but if I have to choose, paulie shore.

At least Roseanne has a brain in her head.

I'd ride with Roseanne. My family has given me experience in dealing with obnoxiously loud women. Or just obnoxious people in general.

Where would Paulie and me be eating? How long is the lunch?

Paulie and I.

Roseanne.

I don't know much about Paulie Shore, but I seem to remember him as the poor man's Adam Sandler, and him I don't like at all.

Shoots Catherine to the top of the "people to watch" chart

this is my comment of the week so far. thank you amber

Roseanne.

Why can't we be with both of them?

Paulie Shore. I think he's cute.

cyril - read the thread title. would you rather. that would indicate a choice. make a choice.

I would pick Roseanne-while she can be annoying, I think she is a gutsy broad.

maybe if you learned to juggle bowling balls you could do both

Cyril wrote: "Why can't we be with both of them?"

Lol.

Glutton.

Roseanne. Paulie Shore's voice is even more annoying than hers.

If he could remain silent throughout the meal, and we were sitting at opposite ends of a 40-foot table, maybe I could do lunch with him.

What if I allowed you to throw things at him?


Ok: new either/or

Would you rather have too much spaghetti or not enough ice cream?

Life threatening things, like darts?

Too much spaghetti.

You can't threaten Pauly Shore's life with darts. He's not inflatable.

Not enough ice cream.

great question. i'll go with not enough ice cream. although i usually always eat too much spaghetti and never have enough ice cream

I'm Italian. There's no such thing as too much spaghetti.

never enough ice cream.

Not enough ice cream for what?

I'm not a big ice cream eater, so I'll choose that one.

Not enough ice cream-not really much of a fan.

Too much spaghetti. I couldn't stand having not enough ice cream.

Not enough ice cream. Spaghetti is a dietary staple in my house.

Strawberry Twizzlers or cherry Nibs?

Twizzlers.

Chocolate milk.
