5 second rule, or I found this lodged under the couch, it's great, want some?

Jerky or drive-in?
Chocolate or chocolate malt?
Whipped cream or whipped topping?

Fred or George? Pinky or Da Brain? Ren or Stimpy? Batman or Joker?

Be prepared to justify you answers. You have 60 seconds, except for the essay questions.

Oh, and can you keep a zepline on track for hours at a time with little/no contact with the ground?
