Just for fun: Another Quiz -- IF YOU HAD TO CHOOSE
Pick one of the three choices offered and explain why you picked it.
1. Cheeseburger, hot dog or tacos.
I love food, so it's hard to choose. I'll take tacos if I can put them together. Cheeseburgers and hot dogs become too ordinary.
2. Ford, Chevy or Nissan.
I love my Nissan Altima.
3. Movie, play or concert.
I love the movies, although the Celtic Woman concert was amazing!
4. TV, book or nap.
Nap wins every time! (Should I be reading instead?)
5. Swimming, skiing or hiking.
I've always loved hiking. Very sad about my bad knees.
6. Eating, sleeping or gardening.
Sleeping after eating! Nothing like it!
7. Flying, driving or being driven.
Flying! But then it mattesr how far you have to travel.
8. Mountains, lake or golf
Give me my mountains! A mountain lake is the best. Golf is death from boredom.
9. Watching golf, baseball or Antiques Roadshow.
Antiques Roadshow is 1,000 times more exciting that golf or baseball!
10. Game show, Andy of Mayberry or news.
I always watch the news.
11. Vacation spot: Beach, mountains or out of country.
I'm off to England's green and pleasant land! Give me a beach near the "mountains" in England.
12. Bacon, sausage or Spam.
I have to go with Alison's answer... I want all three.
13. Kung Pao, Szechuan or sweet and sour.
Kung Pao. I like the spicy stuff.
14. Suit, shorts or pajamas.
PJs are for sleeping. I like sleeping.
15. Weather: Hot, cold or wet.
Wet! I love rain! I love the feel and smell and coolness of rain! Off to England again!
16. East, west or south.
East if it's to the Atlantic coast. West if it's to San Francisco. South if it's all the way to Jackson Hole.
17. North Carolina, Michigan or New Mexico.
North Carolina because Michigan has Detroit in it and New Mexico is worse than Death Valley.
18. Red, blue or yellow.
BYU Blue!... because red is yellow.
19. Sailing, water skiing or swimming.
Sailing is a wonderful, relaxing activity. Trouble is, it requires a boat.
20. Long sleeve, sleeveless or short sleeves.
Short sleeves except on Sunday.
21. Running shoes, slippers or bare foot.
Running shoes, but no running. Never bare foot.
22. Fast, slow or medium.
Moderation in all things, so... Fast!
23. Well done, medium or rare.
Medium well, please. I don't like the taste of blood or charcoal.
24. Coke, Pepsi or RC Cola.
RC is my choice out of these three. Of course Dr. Pepper is better than they all.
25. Milk, Pop or water.
I gotta go with Dr. Pepper. It seems to aid the digestion... or does something else really good.
26. Hungry, thirsty or exhausted.
Just thinking of being thirsty or exhausted makes me hungry! Let's eat!
27. Cereal, pancakes or waffles.
Perfect! Breakfast, lunch and dinner!
28. Banana, apple or grapes.
Grapes, because apples have apple juice in them and you have to unwrap bananas. Too much work.
29. Honey, jam or jelly.
I like raspberry jam, but not the seedless kind. Of course I'll want honey on my bread and milk!
30. Up early, sleep in or breakfast.
Up early to make breakfast, then back to bed!
31. Facebook, Twitter or Myspace.
Well gee... Aren't we doing this on facebook?!
32. Shopping, laundry or yard work.
I love shopping! (Please tell Karen I love shopping.)
33. Argentina, Belgium or India.
Belgium, because it's closest to England.
34. Doctor, dentist or psychologist.
I'd prefer to be a psychologist, thank you. It's the least messiest.
35. Art, sports or music.
Art to do, sports to watch, music to listen too. Let's have all three.
36. Religion, philosophy or neither.
Hmmm... how about the philosophies of men, mingled with scripture?
37. Breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Breakfast for all three.
38. Oklahoma, Fiddler on the Roof or South Pacific.
Oklahoma is awful. South Pacific is ridiculous. I'll take Fiddler because it's sort of the Mormon story in Yiddish!
39. NCIS, CSI or SVU.
Lately it's NCIS.
40. Beatles, Bee Gees or Beach Boys.
Bee Gees. The other two grow tiresome when you hear them a lot.
41. Folk, Pop or Rock.
Pop... Preferably Dr. Pepper.
42. Bach, Brahms or Beethoven.
Beethoven! Get the Immortal Beloved soundtrack. The most beautiful music ever!
43. Math, History or English.
Math is death. I'll pick English History. My advisor at BYU asked me why I wanted to take a class in English History since it didn't fill any of my requirements. He seemed bewildered when I told him I wanted to take it to learn about English History! Duh.
