1. Roy Orbison - how can you even ask? Up.
ReplyDelete2. Anchovies on pizza - up.
3. Coors Light - Ha, that's funny. Down.
4. The film DEATH PROOF - if I was 14, maybe.
5. Real Wives of Atlanta
6. The Wii - up.
7. Texas - up.
8. Abba - down (but there is great disco music)
9. the Kindle - not yet in Canada.
10. the McRibb sandwich - no, just no.
11. Air France - out of my price range.
12. Phil Mickelson - lefties unite!
13. Shaving - thumbs way down (unless we're talking women's underarms and legs...)
14. Grits - not yet in Canada.
15. Wal-Mart - I have kids, so, thumbs up.

1. Up. Is that really a controversy?
ReplyDelete2. Down.
3. Down.
4. Within the context of the whole movie GRINDHOUSE - Up. On its own - Meh. Maybe up, but barely.
5. No answer.
6. I still need to try it.
7. Up, he types, enjoying a cold bottle of Shiner Commemorator, sitting in the great state of Texas... although agreeing on the whole president thing. Not sure which states hold up well on that one, California gets a big thumbs down there, too, I know.
8. Up.
9. Undecided.
10. Up, for what it is.
11. No answer.
12. No answer.
13. Shaving myself - Down. Shaving as an abstract concept - Up.
14. Up.
15. Up. Yes, I know all of the down reasons.
16. Up.
17. Up. In principle, I never bother doing it.
18. Up.
19. At first - Up. After some time- Down.
20. Uh...
1. Roy Orbison? I'm with John M and Neil. Radios should come with a button that lets you switch to whatever station is playing Roy Orbison.
ReplyDeleteAll the others numbers I'm skipping because I don't care if anybody agrees with me or not, except:
20. Auction 45s is an excellent game played almost exclusively in Atlantic Canada. It involves bidding and it also involves old man slamming their knuckles on the table when they play the top card. All other bidding games might be controversial on the up/down question, but Auction 45s is not.
Especially if you are in a 5 player "call your partner" game.
