choose ye: your first of the year!

Filed under: either or — meg @ 7:00 pm

(If you’re new to Choose Ye, the object is to choose one of the two options. No “It depends…” or “Neither!” or “I don’t know!” or “In some cases…” No, this is the last bastion of black and white decisiveness on the Web… well, besides the Apple Store…)

Resolutions or keep on keepin’ on?

Ketchup or mustard?

Firm mattress or soft?

Tan or pale (however one gets tan)?

Oreo or chocolate chip?

Goldfish or tiny turtle?

Road rage or easy rider?

East coast or west?

Romantic comedy or action flick?

Windy or rainy?

Gossip or sealed lips?

Sing or dance?

“Nest” or go out at any opportunity?

Shatner or Norris?

Gold or silver?

Swing or push (on a swing, people… on a swing)?

Breath mints or gum?

Pine tree or palm tree?

Self-deprecation or quiet confidence?

    keep on keepin’ on, mustard, firm mattress, tan, Oreo, goldfish, easy rider, East coast, action flick, windy,
    sealed lips, sing OR dance? Don’t these HAVE to go together?! “Nest”, Shatner, gold, swing, mints, pine tree, self-deprecation AND quiet confidence, in equal (nearly) measure.
