Die Hard is a Christmas Movie and other such topics

Obviously it is, but that isn't the point of this thread.

Can anyone help with similar such discussion topics?

What goes first Jam or Cream?
Do you dry yourself before getting out of the shower?
Trousers then socks or socks then trousers?

Reason is I'm seeing a friend with a brain injury, general conversation is now difficult but topic conversation takes us back to the debates of our youth. We no longer discuss contentious topics but the topics above led to a lovely afternoon so I'd like some more silly debate topics.

Love the Giraffe Bow tie and the elephant trousers.

Thanks for so many suggestions.

Hasn’t he got some sort of dementia?

yes I know that was a low blow but it so IS a Christmas movie.

Low blow yes!

However, he filmed this around the 80s and he did the interview/show where he mentions it not being a christmas movie a fair few years ago! Ending it with his much loved well known line from the movie!

Giraffe bow tie at the bottom of the neck.

Thanks for starting this thread @DieHardIsAChristmasMovie Have a good time with your friend. Smile

Ooh, one I was asked years ago and have driven various people mad with since (well, not vegetarians or vegans who probably don't care).

If you could only eat meat AND all related products from one animal, what would you choose? So you could have chicken and eggs but would never be able to eat cheese, or you could have beef and milk and cheese but never be able to eat bacon...

Edited to add - you are a very lovely friend.

A key question

Die Hard is a Christmas Movie and other such topics
70isaLimitNotaTarget · 14/09/2024 22:55

Why do some food items say Suitable for Vegetarians and Vegans
'Cos if they;re suitable for vegans then they;re suitable for vegetarians too !

Jacket potatoes - cheese first or beans?

Do chips belong on a full English breakfast?

If you could only go on holiday in one place for the rest of your life, where would you go?

If you were on desert island discs what would be your luxury item?

StudioCreate · 14/09/2024 23:03

Would you rather eat ice cream flavoured poo 💩 or poo flavoured ice cream 🍨 < lowers tone >

Ooooh butter on jacket potato first, then the cheese, (then pop in microwave to melt cheese, for about 30 seconds,) then pour the heated-up beans over it all.

CalicoPusscat · 14/09/2024 23:10

Yep cheese has to be melted.

I'm skipping the poo/ice-cream dilemma.

Well wait a darn rootin' tootin' minute here , if you are throwing such statements about so casually , I will state This Is The Hill I Will Die On

Die Hard is not a Christmas Movie , there is nothing festive about being forced to crawl along an air shaft unless you are in training to be Father Christmas and practicing going down a chimney

See exhibit A

Yippee Ki Yay Mother Fuckers

Bruce Willis himself said "Die Hard is not a Christmas movie".

Are Jaffa cakes biscuits or cakes?

Discombobulated2024 · 14/09/2024 23:21

Your last supper: starter, main course, pudding and drinks?

After family and animals, What would you save from a fire?

What would you do with a 5m lottery win?

Discombobulated2024 · 14/09/2024 23:22

Fantasy dinner party guests (dead or alive)?

MrsMoastyToasty · 14/09/2024 23:28

@Discombobulated2024 they're cakes. (Biscuits go soft if left out and cakes go hard. Therefore they are cakes).

Porridge with salt or with sugar?

*Obviously the shower is not running at the time! But I don't get out and slosh around the bathroom dripping, like some kind of savage. I dry off 90% in the shower, then dry my feet as I step out into my flipflops.

This thread has clarified why other people leave the bathroom like a swamp 🧐.*

I totally agree with this 😂 I also get dry in the shower. Much better than flapping water everywhere. Does nobody care about how they leave the bathroom for everyone else? I hate a sopping wet bathroom.

DrFoxtrot · 14/09/2024 23:34

Bold fail 🙄 I thought * did bold! Nevermind!

SkiingIsHeaven · 14/09/2024 23:37

Kid's question to me once - Would you eat poo flavoured ice-cream or ice-cream flavoured poo?

I apparently gave the wrong answer.

JustJoinedRightNow · 15/09/2024 00:06

Surely you would choose poo flavored ice cream to avoid any nasties in the actual poo being ingested, even if it did taste like ice cream.

I can quite easily manage to walk from the bathroom to the bedroom without sloshing water everywhere. Step out of bath onto bath mat. Quickly dry feet, grab towel and wrap it round me. Grab another towel for my hair and off to the bedroom I go. No wet floor.

SweetSakura · 15/09/2024 00:16

Favourite one my son asked me - would you rather eat a slug that tastes like a sweet, or a sweet that tastes like a slug Grin

CalicoPusscat · 15/09/2024 00:16

I think we need a better bath mat. But I shake myself down, step out of the shower and put hair in a towel etc

Are crisps acceptable in a sandwich? (Also no)

What are you talking about? Crisps in a cheese sandwich ought to be compulsory😁

aliasname · 15/09/2024 00:31

Would you rather fight 1 horse sized duck, or 100 duck sized horses?

Merrow · 15/09/2024 00:41

"is a hotdog a sandwich?"
