I am working on a theory that views each human being as a unique sequence of bifurcations. For example, answer each of the following:

Tables or booths?
John Lennon or Paul McCartney?
Bacon or sausage?
Top or bottom?
California or New York?
Butter or margarine?
Stimulants or depressants?
Sammy Hagar or David Lee Roth?
Skier or snowboarder?

I am a tables-John-bacon-bottom-California-butter-depressants-David-snowboarder guy (although I'm currently doing neither bacon nor sausage). Now, I just need to find enough questions to scientifically cover the entire planet.

What type are you?

I'm going to say I'm a booths-John-bacon-top-California-butter-stimulants-David-skier kind of girl.

Admittedly, I was a "Sammy" until a drive through LA a few years ago. I was listening to one of those Z-Rock type stations and they played Van Halen's "Unchained." That's when the tables changed for me (or was it when the booths changed?).

Firstly, you're a blogger, dummy. Don't use a flash word like "bifurcations" - this idea is already a meme and you wanna know what other people call it? "This or That"

Secondly, I would think that an intellectualified fella such as yourself wouldn't be satisfied with simply flipping a few binary switches to get a read on a person. The "why" is most interesting to you, as shown by your explanation of why you're a David rather than a Sammy.

Thirdly, I am a booth-Paul-bacon-top-New York-butter-depressants-Sammy-snowboarder

Fourthly, d'ya wanna come snowboarding with me?

Okay, I didn't really have a "fourthly" but I just really love that word.

After careful consideration of my last comment I have decided to return and elucidate yer ass:

1. Booth - I never sit with my back exposed. Can't do it. The first time I do I know I'll pull a Wild Bill and that'll be the end of me.

2. Paul loses points for Wings and John loses points for Yoko. In the end, however, Wings is slightly less offensive.

3. Given that you put the sausage with the bacon I assume you mean breakfast sausage, which is vile. Especially English sausage, "bangers". I think they put mace and nutmeg in the things. All other sausages (kielbasa, chorizo, et al) reign supreme.

4. Obvious.

5. I hate the sunshine.

6. Margarine is the devil's own produce. English butter is da shiznitz.

7. Like I need a stimulant?

8. I've met Sammy, so I'm biased. When Rainforest Cafe started carrying his line of tequila he came to the corporate headquarters and we partied. Nice guy to a fault.

9. Growing up, only the rich kids went skiing because you had to go clear out to the snowhill to do it, and all of my friends parents were too drunk and poor to take us. Us poor kids made our own damn hills and we were happy with it.

There ya go - more than you ever wanted to know about me.

Firstly, your comments (Natalie) helped ease my hangover this morning. Yay!

Secondly, meme is just as intellectual as bifurcation.

Thirdly, hmm, "This or That" -- doesn't surprise me that it's been done before. But mine is a theory. I'm making a list of 33 questions. That yields 8,589,934,592 combinations -- enough for everyone on the planet.

Fourthly, I'm a terrible snowboarder. Bad.

Quintly, are there hills in Minnesota?

Sexly, polska-kielbasa, chorizo, mmm, why did I ever forego meat? It isn't fair.

Septly, Sammy is very cool. Dave's voice just fit better with VH. But look at them now, you know. Sammy is so much more the shit. If you ever get the chance to hear HSAS (a project he did with Neal Schon), definitely check it out.

Octly, even more vile is that squeeze margarine.

Wait, what was that? I got distracted by the word "sexly".

Mmmm....sexly.

And yes, we do have some fairly righteous hills in MN. There's a place with the most rockingest snow machine you've ever seen in your life. You're pretty much guaranteed some fresh white every trip up.

Not that you need to go clear out to the slopes, mind, as we have some kicking hills regardless.

See, you start going all smart on me and I use a word like "rockingest". Sigh - I do it every time.

(Worse than squeeze margarine is the spray stuff, but it's said that the further down the solid-liquid spectrum you go with margarine the better it is for you. I won't mention my opinion of vegetarians.)
