Glennn - Quality moderation or biased removal of opposition?

I would love, just once, to see some quality moderation... it would be fascinating to see two or more quality debaters really going at it, but with courtesy, enforced by the moderator... and the agreed time limits adhered too

Chat with your taxi/Uber driver, or ride in silence?

Stub your little toe, or hit your funny bone just right?

Hitting my funny bone. That hasn't happened to me in a long time, but I think it's something like getting shocked.

Being in a wild, natural place or at home listening to music, and you're stoned with some really clean weed?

Funny bone. I rather that than risk breaking me weee lil pinky toe.

Being in a wild, natural place. A good hike in the wild can be lovely and I never have and likely never will smoke weed.

Options for this This or That game:
fun and banal; fun and icky; or deadly serious and never meta?

*Just funnin' alert*

One thing we're all deadly serious about in this game thread is that foundational/traditional game standards must be upheld. With that in mind, you've answered two posters in one post! What would happen if a baseball player wanted 2 at-bats instead of the traditional 1? I'll tell you what would happen. All the players would start wanting 2 at-bats, and then baseball isn't baseball anymore. It's just chaos. Nothing but chaos.

Now back to the game.

Answer only one poster in a post, or be the instigator of certain chaos by answering two posts simultaneously?

Glennn - Answer only one poster in a post, or be the instigator of certain chaos by answering two posts simultaneously?

Maybe answer only one poster - but then, never having answered two posters in one post, perhaps one would experience a, shall we say, frisson of naughtiness by answering two posters! I shall have to pass on this one, not having the experience of others to give a considered answer...

Stand up and be counted, or weasel your way out of a difficult question?

Dant: Stand up and be counted, or weasel your way out of a difficult question?

Weasel my way out, of course. And by the way, people like me prefer that you say "minked our way out."

Swim, or ride bike?

Ride bike - I have a stationary exercise bike with flat tyres

Morning tea/mid-morning break... Have a cup of tea or a cup of coffee?

A cup of coffee. Not saying tea is for sissies, but I could probably beat up a majority of tea drinkers.
