I've observed the same phenomenon. Many people who believe they were re-incarnated claim to have been powerful, rich, high status folks in their previous lives. ("I was the queen of Egypt" etc.) Virtually nobody claims to have been -- say -- a lowly serf toiling in the fields whom died young and possessed no power, money or status at all. Lol.

Red Sour cream or Guacamole

Doritos! :-) Hot salsa or mild salsa?

Love Shack -- Bananarama (I believe)

Boiled Eating corn with your hands, or with the small finger "handles" inserted into the end of the corn?

Kiwi Corn or carrots?

STH from TSRTS

Lunch Garden salad or Ceasar salad?

I don't mean to intrude on a "woman's only" thread, but as lipslikecherries and SozoZoso pointed out, it's interesting how the perception of tanned skin and social class has changed over the centuries. ("Ladies" once prided themselves on their pale skin, etc.) I would suggest the women here be careful not to over-expose themselves to the sun. Skin cancer is a real threat to all of us, and skin damage due to sun overexposure is too: It's not attractive to see a 30 or 40-something year old woman with the tough, leathery, lined skin of an old, veteran sailor.

Geekfreak, it sounds like you have good taste in opera and ballet.

As usual, an excellent description and analysis, Strider. I've visited Bayreuth and am a passionate admirer of Tannhauser and Lohengrin. (btw, I once heard The Flying Dutchman in the famous Sydney Opera house)

Ebk, it sounds delicious. I'm looking forward to hearing how the rest of your trip goes.

Agreed Manet Impressionism or cubism?

I've heard that "The Whisperer in Darkness," is fun, although I've never seen it.

Lol. Crab legs King crab or Ophelio crab?
