Spaghetti and meatballs
Mac & cheese
Spaghetti carbonara

[ilovepaydays]

Spaghetti with ground sausage

So…..are things in Syria about to get…..

Better
or
Worse
or
Something else

 

[Buzz]

Beef stroganoff
Chicken Katsu
Thai basil chicken
Quick and easy pancit
Garlic lemon scallops
Black beans and rice

 

[ilovepaydays]

1) Beef Stroganoff
2) I think some people are because they think he couldn’t have been that dumb because they found him with all that evidence. Actually, yes, a lot of criminals are THAT dumb.

Just watched the JonBenet Ramsey docuseries on Netflix.

Who do you think most likely did it?

The mother
or
The father
or
The brother
or
A neighbor
or
Someone else close to the family
or
An intruder
or
Someone else: _________

 

[Buzz]

I haven’t watched the latest documentary. I don’t think we will ever know who did it unless someone confesses. Because the investigation was too botched.

Self serve ramen shops?

YAY
or
NAY

 

[ilovepaydays]

NAY. I can make ramen at home myself for less than ten minutes.

So…should the Unabomber’s Manifesto have been published?

YES - For the Washington Post & New York Times because his brother was able to read it and turn him in. NO to it being published mainstream as a book. The manifesto was nuts!
or
YES - To both WaPo & NYT and it being published mainstream as a book.
or
NO - Kaczynski shouldn’t have had his ideas published. He was a murderer!
or
NO - Because it led to his brother snitching on him. Kaczynski has some good points.
or
Something else

[Buzz]

I will say right now no.

Privatizing of the US postal Service?

AGREE
or
DISAGREE

 

[ilovepaydays]

DISAGREE. Yes, UPS & FedEx are more efficient, but there are a lot of addresses (esp. if they are remote) that they won’t deliver anything without charging $$$$$$$. Even for a basic letter.

So…..what’s going on in Canada right now?

Trudeau is going down!

Trudeau is being unfairly targeted!

NAY, I’m sick of these spinoffs and reboots!

So……what about what’s going on in Germany ?

The SPD is just inept!

The FDP doesn’t understand how being a minority in a coalition works. They are like the NDP in but the FDP is on the right.
or
The CSU/CDU needs to be in charge!
or
Uh……what about the AfD?
or
Don’t care - I’m not German or even European.
or
Something else

Something else - I haven’t been following politics much. Or rather I have been doing my best to avoid the stuff!

Induction cooktops
Gas ranges
Electric stoves
Gas stoves with downdraft

 

[Winnipeg]

Electric stoves


If Trump shot a CEO in the back, like Luigi 'M' did in NYC, would he suffer the same charges under the law?

No, Trump always gets off no matter how strong the evidence;
No, he would delay until the charges were dropped for some vague reason(s);
Yes, of course, murder is murder and he would be in jail right now waiting for trial.
or
other

 

[ilovepaydays]

1) YES
2) I’m not sure how I feel about the terrorism charges against him, though. Why not just stick with the first degree murder charges?

So……is the federal government shutting down tonight?

YEP!
or
NAH!

 

[Buzz]

YES

So you are invited to a potluck Christmas dinner. What do you do?

Make something yourself to carry
OR
Buy from a restaurant

 

[Winnipeg]

I would likely decline because I do not like potlucks
If I felt the need to attend, I would buy something simple, eat before I left for the party and eat very little at the potluck.


Your favorite winter activity?

Downhill skiing;
X country skiing;
outdoor ice skating;
walking in the snow;

[Buzz]

Staying inside and reading while drinking coffee by a fire!

All expenses paid trip to Disney World
OR
All expenses paid trip to Worlds

 

[ilovepaydays]

Worlds - The crowds and lines at Disneyland are a bit . From my experience at 4CCs, Skate America, and U.S. Nationals, things are a bit more relaxed and there’s likely to be FSUers to meet for lunch & dinner!

So……is your holiday shopping done?

YES!
or
Mostly
or
Nope, not at all!

 

[Buzz]

YES!

I’ll answer myself: The U.S. can’t really afford right now!
