THE GAL HERSELF has definite feelings about In Pulp Fiction, Mia (Uma Thurman) opines that when it comes to Elvis and the Beatles, you can like them both, but the odds are that you only LOVE one of them. When last week, Mo asked if my iPod playlist included Dean Martin in addition to Sinatra, I realized that was a similar situation. You can like them both, but you can only LOVE one of them. And so here's where I come down on 13 important “either/or’s.” 1…. Beatles or Elvis? I respect the King, but I LOVE the Lads. 2. Frank Sinatra or Dean Martin? It’s Frank’s world. Still. 3. Katharine Hepburn or Audrey Hepburn? The Great Kate 4. Chicago Cubs or White Sox? Let’s see … I have no visible tattoos and don’t drink beer at breakfast. That obviously makes me a Cub fan. 5. Thin crust or deep dish? Thin crust 6. Cats or dogs? Dogs make fine pets, but I simply must cohabit with at least one cat at all times 7. Turkey or ham? If it’s not turkey, it’s not a holiday meal 8. Coke or Pepsi? Coke 9. City or country? City 10. Angelina or Jen? I’m strictly Team Aniston. 11. Today or GMA? Today 12. Sandals or flip-flops? Sandals 13. Mac or PC? Mac Extras: My male friends assure me that no list like this is complete without ... Ginger or Mary Ann? Boxers or briefs? Beil or Alba? Links to other Thursday Thirteens! 1.

Great list. Definite thumbs up on the Beatles. Never could get into Elvis all that much though I like some of his stuff. And I'm a huge Katherine Hepburn fan too. ;-)
ReplyDeletePoor Dean Martin. I tend to pair him up with Jerry Lewis and he loses in that match as well. LOL!
Great list!!! I enjoyed reading your choices.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday!
1. Beatles
ReplyDelete2. Don't care
3. Katharine Hepburn - Because of The African Queen
4. Nottingham Forest
5. Deep Dish
6. Cats - but only because a dog bit me once and even though I'm not a cat person cats seem to think I should be
7. Roast Pork (its a family thing)
8. Pepsi
9. City
10. Don't care
11. The Guardian
12. Shoes
13. PC
and as to boxers or briefs... depends on the weather and if I have to make a long journey which is probably too much information but you did bring the question up ;-)
Got to go with impworks on Katharine Hepburn. The African Queen is a great film. I also adore her in The Philadelphia Story!
ReplyDeleteHappy TT. This week I've posted roses.
I actually have no opinion about a lot of those (particularly the music ones). Interesting; that's not like me.
ReplyDeleteHappy TT anyway!
I love this idea! I'll have to give some serious consideration to these weighty choices. My TT is posted
ReplyDeleteThanks for weighing in (even by not weighing in, SHG). But Impworks, you are too funny! It's A or B, either/or, and you answered with none of the above or something completely inappropriate (when will Nottingham Forest play in Wrigley Field)? You're quite the rebel, aren't you? I bet you made your teachers crazy.
ReplyDeleteHaha... great TT idea! I agree with you on them all except #6 - I'm a dog person (more allergic to cats) - and #9 (I don't drink any pop). :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the Cubs too (I lean more toward Team Jolie, though...)!
ReplyDeleteBlogging or Ghost Hunters- gotta go with blogging...LOL like this idea and may copy it.
ReplyDeleteSo you didn't answer the really important one..Ginger or MaryAnne
Coke rules and Cats reign ( or at least they like to think so)
What a fun list! But, I'm a flip-flop girl myself.
ReplyDeleteHappy T13. That was a great list. I live with a very devoted Cubs fan. He's a native. As a matter of fact he is watching the game right now Cubs against the Texas Rangers. I hear cursing every now and then. You know how it goes.
ReplyDeleteThat's absolutely blasphemous to even like both the Cubs and the White Sox. And how can you be a Cubs fan and prefer thin crust pizza? OY! :) Just joshin'!
ReplyDeleteAnd I am so with you on Team Aniston!
What a great list... I'm definitely with you on Team Aniston and it's gotta be Coke, hands down!!
ReplyDeleteHappy TT'ing! :)
I'm with you on the Beatles, Mac, thin crust, and Aniston. But I am for Dean Martin, Pepsi - and love both city and country, sandals and flipflops, had to have turkey and ham;the rest, no love. Fun list.

ReplyDeleteWhile I can only accede 5 (#'s 3,4,7,8 & 12) of your answers, I adore you anyway (heheh)
The premise is oh-so-true, tho; you can like them both, but can only love one!
What a great idea: - agree with your number 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10
ReplyDeleteHey, sweety thanks for coming by the blog.
ReplyDeleteJust want you to know I LOVE Chicaaago. Beautiful city. Been to many of those places you mentioned. only think=g I didn't do was swim in the lake/sea/ocean (man, that is one huge lake)
Nothing like a stroll alongside Lake Michigan or the shopping strip:)
I love dogs, but I share my life with 5 cats ! I like their independence !
ReplyDeleteThat's a great list!
ReplyDeleteHappy TT!
Cool post... but I'm gonna GET you for that comment about the Sox! ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm Mr. Pale Hose's daughter! (http://mrpalehose.blogspot.com)
Hey...I agree with you on a lot of these! Especially Coke and the Cubs. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for a TT.
My TT is up; stop by when you get a moment. :)
Interestingly I love both Vegas and Disneyworld, sin city and the land of innocence.
ReplyDeleteI linked to your TT13 from mine: TT 13 Fishing Questions for Non-Fishermen
Great list! I'm an Anniston fan, too. Lost ALL respect for Angelina and Pitt.
ReplyDeleteCoke, but make it a Diet!
Great choices !
ReplyDeleteMe, today, my TT is about Elvis... ;-)
Happy TT !!!
What a clever list. I'd never thought about it. My grandmother loved her Cubs.
ReplyDeleteGreat list. It's boxers for sure!
ReplyDeleteI'm funny with the pop - I strongly prefer Diet Coke to Diet Pepsi, but strongly prefer Pepsi to Coke. (Usually stick with Diet Coke because of the whole no-calorie thing).
ReplyDeleteMy TT is up too.
I have no opinion on the first four of these...but I'll take the remake of Ocean's 11 over the original any day. (That's as close as I can get to referencing the Rat Pack.)
ReplyDeleteCats, though. Definitely cats. :D
Coke. Pepsi is just too sweet. (Actually, stacking the lines against each other, I'll go for the Coke product every time. Except 7-Up/Sierra Mist. 7-Up has no taste whatsoever.)

ReplyDeleteSpecial aside to Nicholas: At this blog, human beings are referred to with pronouns that reflect respect. "Don't know WHAT they are" (caps courtesy of The Gal Herself) is not acceptable here. That took your pretentious response to my playful either/or proposition out of the realm of waste-of-my-time and into offensive. In The Gal Herself's world, acting that way doesn't make you appear superior. It makes you disappear, as in deleted.
