</div>

1. Coke or Pepsi–Coke, so long as it’s Diet. Coke has a cinnamon taste. Pepsi has a lemony taste. I prefer cinnamon.

2. Hillary or Barack–Barack by a long shot.

3. New York City or Los Angeles–I’ve never been to either. I think I’d prefer NY culture and LA weather. I’ll say NY.

4. Rome or Paris–Based on food, I’m taking Rome.

5. Karl Marx or Sigumnd Freud–Marx.

6. Arlene Francis or Kitty Carlisle–I don’t know these people.

7. PC or Mac–PC, I guess.

8. Islam or Christianity–Better the devil you know. Christianity.

9. Homer Simpson or Hank Hill–Homer, I guess. I don’t watch either show.

10. Electric Blue and Black or Hot Pink and Lemon Yellow–Black ‘n’ blue.

11. Elton John or Billy Joel–Close, but Billy Joel.

12. Eric Clapton or Jimmy Hendrix–Jimi.

13. Heinz or Hunts–Heinz.

14. Silver Cloud or Bentley–I like my Jeep. Not into fancy cars and I wouldn’t recognize either of these if they ran over me.

15. Queen Elizabeth or King Gustaf–No monarchies for me, thanks.

16. Charlotte or Atlanta–Choosing between cities I’ve never visited (aside from the airport) is a bit rough. Charlotte.

17. Birthday Party or Baby Shower–Birthday.

18. Cat or Dog–Cat.

19. Butts or Breasts (for straight men and lesbians)

20. Packages or Pecs (for straight women and gay men)–Pecs. But “eyes” is the real answer.

Bonus: You’re to be given something and you don’t know what it will be until after you’ve made your decision — 1 or 1,000,000–1. I don’t have room for a million anythings.

</div>

1. Coke or Pepsi  
Coke - It’s not as sweet

2. Hillary or Barack  
Hillary - Less liberal

3. New York City or Los Angeles  
New York - Los Angeles sucks and is hot and ugly

4. Rome or Paris  
Paris - I haven’t been to Rome, but apparently Roman men are pretty awful from what I have heard. I’ve had enough of that in Tokyo.

5. Karl Marx or Sigumnd Freud  
…none of the above

6. Arlene Francis or Kitty Carlisle  
I don’t know either of them

7. PC or Mac  
PC - Macs annoy me by not letting me do stuff that’s beyond the basics

8. Islam or Christianity  
Christianity I guess. Jesuit schooling is supposedly pretty good.

9. Homer Simpson or Hank Hill  
I haven’t seen King of the Hill (judging from the name), so I can’t say.

10. Electric Blue and Black or Hot Pink and Lemon Yellow  
Blue and Black - Because I’m male and straight?

11. Elton John or Billy Joel  
Billy Joel - River of Dreams was pretty good

12. Eric Clapton or Jimmy Hendrix  
Eric Clapton - More traditional bluesy, and he didn’t OD

13. Heinz or Hunts  
Heinz - Saltier

14. Silver Cloud or Bentley  
Not sure what Silver Cloud is (and maybe not Bentley which I would have assumed was a car, except that I would have expected to recognize any car manufacturer.)

15. Queen Elizabeth or King Gustaf  
I’m not sure who King Gustaf is, so I can’t say

16. Charlotte or Atlanta  
No idea? Colleges?

17. Birthday Party or Baby Shower  
Birthday Party - Not a lot you can do with a baby

18. Cat or Dog  
Dog - Because

19. Butts or Breasts (for straight men and lesbians)  
Whichever is better in the case at hand, I suppose

20. Packages or Pecs (for straight women and gay men)

1 or 1,000,000  
1

Cafe Society or IMHO  
IMHO

1. **Coke** or Pepsi - Mountain Dew is first choice, but then its Coke.

1. **Coke** or Pepsi - less sweet

2. Hillary or **Barack** - would make the next presidential election even more entertaining for an interested outsider (although Hillary would be almost as much fun)

3. **New York City** or Los Angeles - great city, and it’s a proper city

4. **Rome** or Paris - love them both, but Rome has an attractive air of chaos that Paris lacks

5. **Karl Marx** or Sigumnd Freud - there’s a chance Karl may yet be proved right.

6. Arlene Francis or Kitty Carlisle - sorry, don’t know

7. **PC** or Mac

8. Islam or **Christianity** - lesser of two evils

9. **Homer Simpson** or Hank Hill - haven’t watched much King of the Hill

10. **Electric Blue and Black** or Hot Pink and Lemon Yellow

11. **Elton John** or Billy Joel - flamboyant is good

12. Eric Clapton or **Jimmy Hendrix** - seems to have taken more creative drugs than Clapton

13. **Heinz** or Hunts - only one I’ve heard of

14. Silver Cloud or **Bentley** - a little more rakish than a Rolls

15. **Queen Elizabeth** or King Gustaf - God Save The Queen

16. Charlotte or Atlanta - dunno, never been to either

17. **Birthday Party** or Baby Shower - more drinking at the average birthday party

18. Cat or **Dog** - man’s best friend for 70,000 years

19. **Butts** or Breasts (for straight men and lesbians)

20. Packages or Pecs (for straight women and gay men) - n/a

Bonus: You’re to be given something and you don’t know what it will be until after you’ve made your decision — 1 or 1,000,000

Hmmm, 1,000,000 I think - if it’s unpleasant then serves me right for being greedy.
