rnelson Member	posted 03-23-2009 08:15 PM The rules: 1. Answer the question. (forced choice) 2. Optional - provide an explanation 3. Ask a new question.(Forced choice). Here is an example: Evening scrapbooking or Celine Dione concert? My answer: Scrapbooking - only because you'd have access to scissors with which to torment whose ever idea it was to either spend an evening scrapbooking or attending a Celine Dione concert. Notice I went for the optional explanation. Games like this are sometimes used by trainers for intro or icebreaker activities, but also for things like values clarification and boundary testing. Now a new question. For example: would you rather be locked in a room with George Maschke or George Costanza? Can be any topic that gains interest and relieves monotony. The trick is not to push too hard into awkward issues that would chase off would-be participants. An example of such excess might be: would you rather polygraph your mother or mother-in-law? You get the point. Far too personal and invasive. Here is a more tame subject: would you rather be stuck in a snow storm on Vail pass or stuck in a dust storm in the northern Arizona desert?

YLIE2ME Member	posted 03-24-2009 01:29 PM Northern Az dust storm....will be over before you know it, and your not likely to freeze your @#$ off. Vista, but I liked XP alot better, not as many quirks!!! New question.... Comfort of SUV or mileage of compact?? IP: Logged
ebvan Member	posted 03-24-2009 01:55 PM SUV because it would be much more effective for running over George Maschke. Here's one Waterborading Terrorists or Dead U.S.Citizens? IP: Logged
rnelson Member	posted 03-24-2009 02:52 PM Easy there. It's not as if there any real taboo subjects in a game like this. Anything is fair game, but it works better if you get some momentum first, that way people will jump in and answer before they realize their fly is open. Too much too fast and all you get is people trying to be invisible. The point is to not chase people off, by: 1) pulling their pants down too quickly in a public place, or 2) stepping on traditional polemic topics of politics, religion, or anything else that would spoil a good holiday meal. The idea would be to keep the topic alive for as long as possible - just bump it now and then when the momentum dries up in this otherwise interesting forum dries up. Try this one: Crayons or Sharpies? r ------------------ "Gentlemen, you can't fight in here. This is the war room." --(Stanley Kubrick/Peter Sellers - Dr. Strangelove, 1964) IP: Logged

Democrat or Republican (that's a joke ray seriously Climb a mountain or spelunk a cave ------------------ Ralph Hilliard PolygraphPlace Owner & Operator Be sure to visit our new store for all things Polygraph Related http://store.polygraphplace.com IP: Logged

Bob Member	posted 03-24-2009 09:39 PM Shovelhead- just sounds sturdier than knucklehead. Cadillac or Hummer? IP: Logged
detector Administrator	posted 03-24-2009 09:50 PM The 'tool time' side of me says hummer, but I gotta choose the cadillac. There is just something enduring and classy about a cadillac. In a burrito.... Black Beans, Charro Beans or Refried Beans IP: Logged
ebvan Member	posted 03-25-2009 05:11 AM Black Beans Your Cadillac will smell better, Silly Putty or Play-Doh? ------------------ Ex scientia veritas IP: Logged
rnelson Member	posted 03-25-2009 12:56 PM Silly putty. Easier to get out of carpet, and makes a better Pinnochio nose. Hawaiian shirt or bowling shirt? ------------------ "Gentlemen, you can't fight in here. This is the war room." --(Stanley Kubrick/Peter Sellers - Dr. Strangelove, 1964) IP: Logged
ebvan Member	posted 03-26-2009 10:56 AM C'mon guys this is too much fun tp kill or allow it to die. Hawaiian Shirt. It provides it camouflage against the wallpaper when your wife is hunting for you in a tiki bar and there is no embroidered name over the pocket that would allow the waitress to rat you out for any alcohol generated impropriety. James Bond or Inspector Clouseau? Not the new guys Connery and Sellers ------------------ Ex scientia veritas IP: Logged
detector Administrator	posted 03-26-2009 06:53 PM Bond...IMO Sean Connery IS the only real James Bond. All the rest are posers. poker or pinochle? IP: Logged
rnelson Member	posted 03-28-2009 09:40 AM I dunno. Sellars/Clouseau's karate chop might be too much for Connery/Bond. Have you seen how he handled Kato's sneak attacks... And who plays Pinochle? Who would ever stay up half the night, smoking cigars, drinking whiskey, and BSing your friends over a game of Pinochle? And who ever hear of a pinochle room in the back of a pool hall? All the Freudian implications are just wrong, compared to Poker. Magnesium-chloride or salt and gravel? ------------------ "Gentlemen, you can't fight in here.

stat Member	posted 03-28-2009 11:03 AM salt and gravel. MAG-Chlo is nasty stuff---causes "battery effect" on every kind of steel (that's corrosion to you and me) and i get tired of hearing myself telling my kids to stop touching the stuff---"it isn't diamonds boys, it's yucky--dropit now" diamonds or gold?

ebvan Member	posted 03-28-2009 11:51 AM Hurricane. You always get several days warning and can get away unless your are stupid. This one is a little deeper. Regarding the full spectrum of mans inhumanity to man... Depressing Knowledge or Blissfull Ignorance? Or if that one is too deep for you. Big Mac or Quater Pounder with cheese. IP: Logged
stat Member	posted 03-28-2009 05:42 PM Depressing Knowledge at least you have an explanation for all those symptoms of everyday anxiety. The blissfully ignorant---who also have deep anxieties walk around annoying people with no clue why. "The Godfather" or "Goodfellas" IP: Logged

stat Member	posted 03-29-2009 11:52 AM Pong I may be wrong, but I think Pong was the last video game that DIDN'T cause seizures. Pinto or Pacer? IP: Logged
Bob Member	posted 03-29-2009 08:54 PM Pinto- it gives a visual of having horsepower two door or four door? IP: Logged
YLIE2ME Member	posted 03-29-2009 11:38 PM Pacer - real easy to drop in any of the AMC V-8's and have some real ponies. four door - if its a truck white meat or dark meat? ------------------ Willis "No matter who says what, don’t believe it if it don’t make sense." Bix Bender IP: Logged
stat Member	posted 03-30-2009 06:52 PM white meat it's easier to tell whether or not it's cooked thoroughly. blind or deaf? [This message has been edited by stat (edited 03-30-2009).] IP: Logged
rnelson Member	posted 03-30-2009 07:18 PM which begs the question: cooked or raw? IP: Logged
YLIE2ME Member	posted 03-30-2009 08:47 PM definately deaf - I'm affraid of the dark cooked at least enough to take the chill off it. Rib Eye or T-Bone? IP: Logged
Barry C Member	posted 03-30-2009 08:55 PM Oh that's easy. Even I can't keep silent any more: Rib-eye - just one taste and even a vegetarian will be hooked. ... and for a side... baked or fried? IP: Logged
