16. Charlotte or Atlanta: Smaller, nicer, and a port

Just for clarification, did you really mean to pick Charlotte? It’s a port of entry, but not a seaport.

[Phlosphr]

Lib - when are you planning on posting your stats with chi square and standard deviations and all that? I’d like to pick apart your conclusions in neighborly way
Seriously now, will we see some stats?

[MaddyStrut]

1. Coke or Pepsi–Assuming both are diet

2. Hillary or Barack

3. New York City or Los Angeles–I like the walk/public transportation culture better than the car culture

4. Rome or Paris–Nothing beats Rome! So much history, culture, Italian men…

5. Karl Marx or Sigumnd Freud–I don’t buy the theories of either one, but reading Freudian theories is just more fun

6. Arlene Francis or Kitty Carlisle–The only one I can remember

7.** PC ** or Mac–I’ve never used a Mac

8. Islam or Christianity

9. **Homer Simpson ** or Hank Hill

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

11. **Elton John ** or Billy Joel

12. Eric Clapton or Jimmy Hendrix

13. **Heinz ** or Hunts

14. **Silver Cloud ** or Bentley

16. **Charlotte ** or Atlanta

17. Birthday Party or Baby Shower–Actually, I’d probably pick root canal over baby shower

18. Cat or Dog

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

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

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–I guess I’m an optimist

[Regallag_The_Axe]

1. Coke

Bonus: Whatever it is, I’m sure I could find use for a million of 'em

[Avarie537]

@Liberal

Just for clarification, did you really mean to pick Charlotte? It’s a port of entry, but not a seaport.

Yup. Shows you how much I know about joggerphy! I still pick Charlotte.

[Glory]

1. Coke or Pepsi
I don’t like carbonated beverages. I haven’t had enough of either product to have a preference.

2. Hillary or Barack
Hillary

3. New York City or Los Angeles
Los Angeles - I can’t stand the cold.

4. Rome or Paris
Paris - I was a French major in college.

7. PC or Mac
PC. I have never used a Mac, I prefer the gaming power of a PC.

8. Islam or Christianity
Neither. I am not religious.

9. Homer Simpson or Hank Hill
Hank Hill, reminds me of good old boys I knew when I lived in Dallas.

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

11. Elton John or Billy Joel
Billy Joel

12. Eric Clapton or Jimmy Hendrix
Eric Clapton

13. Heinz or Hunts
No preference. I think both contain HFCS, so I would buy an organic ketchup if I wanted some.

14. Silver Cloud or Bentley
Sadly, do not know the difference between these.

15. Queen Elizabeth or King Gustaf
Queen Elizabeth

16. Charlotte or Atlanta
Atlanta

17. Birthday Party or Baby Shower
Birthday party. Hate baby shower games. Would hate having a baby shower in my honor (ie expecting)!

18. Cat or Dog
Cat. Dogs are too licky, jumpy, slobbery and need a lot more attention than I have time to give (also need to be walked, which would be problemmatic with work)

[sunstone]

1. Pepsi

2. Barack

3. Los Angeles

4. Rome

5. neither - both are frauds

6. Kitty Carlisle

7. PC

20. 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

Reply With Quote “So when do I get my surprise?”

[Tamerlane]

1. Coke or Pepsi - As with Robardin, I prefer regular Coke to regular Pepsi, but Diet Pepsi to Diet Coke. Given that it is all diet these days, Pepsi.

2. Hillary or Barack - Barack by a small margin, which may change.

3. New York City or Los Angeles - Difficult. Los Angeles wins the in the weather and state it’s located in categories. NYC is badly flawed, but a much more interesting place IMHO. New York, I suppose. LA does tend to grate on me more.

4. Rome or Paris - I’ve been to neither. I speak a tiny bit of French vs. no Italian, but not enough to be anywhere fluent, so probably Rome for the greater ruin and glories past ratio.

5. Karl Marx or Sigumnd Freud - Marx. Both engendered revolutions in the way we look at the world, but Marx’s, while badly flawed by the prism in which he was forced to view things, was nonetheless a bit more cogent than Freud’s.

6. Arlene Francis or Kitty Carlisle - No opinion.

7. PC or Mac - PC. My first computer exposure was via Macs and I like them fine. But PC’s win just based on the petty fact that they have a wider stable of games, still.

8. Islam or Christianity - If pushed to it, Christianity. Less legalistic than Islam and I’m quite fond of booze and pork.

9. Homer Simpson or Hank Hill - Homer, who once upon a time was a more humorous and sympathetic figure.

10. Electric Blue and Black or Hot Pink and Lemon Yellow - Blue and Black. Darker, less flashy colors will almost always triumph for me.

11. Elton John or Billy Joel - Oddly enough, probably Joel at this point. I’m not a big fan of either, I own none of their albums and I think Elton John is the more significant artist. But Joel is a bit less saturated for me and I’d be just a little less likely to change the station if one of his songs came on vs. John’s.

12. Eric Clapton or Jimmy Hendrix - Clapton. Hendrix’s highs were a little higher and his lows much higher than Clapton’s. But he died young and Clapton’s greater volume of work and the more varied nature of it makes his the more durable catalogue.

13. Heinz or Hunts - Heinz. Gotta go with P.J. O’Rourke on this one, who ruefully noted during the last election that Heinz really does have the superior condiment.

14. Silver Cloud or Bentley - No opinion.

15. Queen Elizabeth or King Gustaf - I like the name Gustaf better ;). But all in all I find him slightly more interesting, even beyond that.

16. Charlotte or Atlanta - No opinion.

17. Birthday Party or Baby Shower - Birthday party. I have no interest in babies.

18. Cat or Dog - Cat by a razor margin, mostly based on the greater ease of care. I like both and in my younger days much preferred dogs. But I’ve warmed up much more to cats over the years and I’ve also gotten lazier. I am less willing than I used to be to spend the time to properly care for a dog. I solve the dilemma by personally owning cats and having good friends as neighbors, who have dogs I can enjoy vicariously.

19. Butts or Breasts (for straight men and lesbians) - Butts, I suppose. I like just about all breasts, but am more likely to sit up and notice an unusually well-turned butt.

20. Packages or Pecs (for straight women and gay men) - No opinion.

Bonus - one for reasons of caution.

[myskepticsight]

1. Coke or Pepsi
   because they are the makers of Mountain Dew

2. Hillary or Barack

3. New York City or Los Angeles
   always wanted to go to NYC, LA not so much really

4. Rome or Paris
   I took French for years and hated it so I don’t want to go there and hear it.

5. Karl Marx or Sigmund Freud
   I love Freud’s id/ego/superego and even though he was a whacko, his theories are interesting

6. Arlene Francis or Kitty Carlisle
   don’t know enough to answer

7. PC or Mac
   Once you go Mac you never go back

8. Islam or Christianity
   neither

9. Homer Simpson or Hank Hill
   I like both shows but I grew up with the Simpsons so Homer holds a spot

10. Electric Blue and Black or Hot Pink and Lemon Yellow
    I hate yellow

11. Elton John or Billy Joel
    Tiny Dancer

12. Eric Clapton or Jimmy Hendrix
    Sorry, you can’t make me choose here; love both

13. Heinz or Hunts
    Don’t like ketchup

14. Silver Cloud or Bentley
    I don’t know what Silver Cloud is

15. Queen Elizabeth or King Gustaf
    Don’t know enough to answer

16. Charlotte or Atlanta
    I’ve only been in Atl’s airport - very cool

17. Birthday Party or Baby Shower
    All the baby showers I’ve been to are boring - I don’t like to coo over baby clothes

18. Cat or Dog

19. Butts or Breasts (for straight men and lesbians)
    I’m neither a straight man nor a lesbian but I think I like boobs better. Don’t understand why asses are sexy really. Well boobs for that matter either, but when I think butt I think of what one does with their butt, ya know?

20. Packages or Pecs (for straight women and gay men)
    I don’t mind if my guys are skinny
    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

I’ll pick 1 and hope we’re not talking about $1 bills

[Sattua]

1. Coke or Pepsi
   Diet Pepsi tastes much better than Diet Coke

2. Hillary or Barack
   He seems mellower

3. **New York City ** or Los Angeles
   I hate big cities, but I’m sort of used to New York

4. Rome or Paris
   More romantic, quieter

5. Karl Marx or Sigumnd Freud
   At least he doesn’t care what I do when the lights are off

6. Arlene Francis or Kitty Carlisle
   Don’t know either of them, but I like the name Kitty

7. PC or Mac
   I’m a grown up person and I like to use a grown up computer

8. Islam or Christianity
   More familiar, no dietary restrictions

9. **Homer Simpson ** or Hank Hill
   A nicer person

10. Electric Blue and Black or Hot Pink and Lemon Yellow
    Pink pink pink!

11. Elton John or Billy Joel
    His songs make sense

12. Eric Clapton or Jimmy Hendrix
    Jimmy was fun. Eric isn’t.

13. Heinz or Hunts
    Ketchup tastes better

14. Silver Cloud or Bentley
    Are those cars? Silver Cloud sounds cool

15. Queen Elizabeth or King Gustaf
    I am an Anglophile

16. Charlotte or Atlanta
    Not familiar with either. Guessing that Charlotte is smaller and quieter

17. Birthday Party or Baby Shower
    Never been to a baby shower. Maybe they would be fun.

18. Cat or Dog
    I respect and sympathize with dogs, but I understand cats.

19. Butts or Breasts (for straight men and lesbians)
    Can’t answer.

20. Packages or Pecs (for straight women and gay men)
    The package is the business end, right?

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
One, I think.

I’d be glad to take your quiz. However, you said one of the rules was stating why you had chosen one or the other. I don’t want to fill in the reasons for my choices if it’s just a waste of time. You have asked people throughout this thread to make a definite choice (can’t answer ‘both’, ‘neither’, etc) but it seems you are not that concerned about the reasons.
Okay I’ll take the test - reasons for the choice available upon request.

1. Coke or Pepsi
2. Hillary or Barack
3. New York City or Los Angeles
4. Rome or Paris

Seriously now, will we see some stats?

Well, I intend to post the results. And the results will affect the contents of the next poll. But as far as a statistical analysis, I’ll have to leave that in the hands of someone more capable. Well, just plain capable. My knowledge of statistics doesn’t go very far beyond knowing how to spell it.
