Do you think I own more Jordan's or Kobe's?

[jhawks99]

1) yes, it's ok
2) Sure, why not. Good bugs.
3) On; Pizza box. Not on; Batteries
4) F Liver. I don't like it but I cooked lots of it.
5) D, I generally like Adidas
Bonus) More Jordan's

[pdub]

1. Yes. Pass.
2. Yes. But up here there are a lot of Japanese beetles than can be mistaken for lady bugs. Japanese beetles are bad for your garden.
3. On: Binoculars. Not: Batteries.
4. Most: Cigarette smoke - it's instant nostalgia to the 80s and my favorite Comic book store on Mass Street, Kwality Comics ( RIP ) - I actually like the smell if it's distant. Worst: Sewer Gas
5. g - I like Dame and like Adidas

bonus: for some reason, I don't think you'd ask unless it was the opposite of what we'd expect, so i'm going Kobe's

[twocoach]

1. Yes and meh, I'd eat it if I was hungry and that was what was available but I wouldn't purchase the ingredients and prepare them myself.

2. No but it's fun and harmless to joke about with the kids so we keep it rolling

3. Yes Can of Lysol/ No Candle

4. Most - Human sweat other than yours
Least - Cigarette smoke

5. The KU Adidas Ultraboosts I got for Christmas last year are some of the more comfortable shoes I have owned for a while so I'd pick one of the Adidas ones probably.

Bonus - If you have 5 pairs of Kobes then you definitely have more pairs of Jordans than that

[KUTradition]

1 - a) yes, b) when i was a maybe 5?

2 - no

3 - c, on; h, off

4 - i actually kinda like the smell of turpentine; rotting fish or another person’s odor are likely the worst

5 - Dame’s

bonus: neither…15 pairs of each (speaking of… https://www.complex.com/sneakers/a/cmpl ... -date-2024)

I'm only responding to the bonus answers for now.
I'm honestly not sure which I own more of. If I have to guess right now, I would guess Jordans.

I'm torn on those shoes.
As I have said before, I had a pair of original Jordan 1s and Mike told me he would have signed them for me if I had brought them to his home. Instead, I got an autographed Jumpman "promo card" that's probably worth about $2.

one of my brothers saved up a summer’s worth of neighborhood lawn work to buy the OGs when they were first released. it was such a big deal and so memorable because of how expensive they were, but also because we had to drive ~3hrs to get them

[TDub]

1. yes, eh
2. I believe anything is "good luck" if the person truly believea it's good luck....if only for the temporary boost in confidence it creates.
3. binoculars, coffee mug
4. turpentine, rotting fish
5. Morant

Jordan's for sure

[DrPepper]

1. yes & yes
2. no
3. Pair of binoculars on. No pizza box.
4. that is a lot of nasty smells. Liver cooking smells nasty. Nail polisher remover just upsets me because I know it is bad to be breathing it. For least tolerable, it depends... could be human sweat or rotten eggs.
5. I don't care about the player or the brand or the NBA. But to play this game, I will go with Steph Curry's. As far as I have observed, he seems like a stand up guy and also to have helped (usher in/uphold) the idea of NBA players being supporters of fatherhood (not procreating, but being there; work-life balance; reality stuff).

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

1. yes/no
2. Yes/no - Ok, yes. Minimal.
3. Not answering for now
4. Most - b least - d
5. Every single option is a bad one for me. I don't like the way they fit/feel. I'll go with the Steph's.

[Back2Lawrence]

1. Yes. Raisins are gross.

2. No, but they are quite pretty.

3. Yes Binoculars (for when the telescope is too powerful), No to the garbage bag (you wouldn’t want JUNK that close to you).

4. Most- Diesel fumes. Least- people’s funk.

5. Im not buying them myself, nor will I wear them if they are too colorful/flashy. Give me a pair of non-descript sneakers and I’ll wear whatever. I might exclude Ja Morant’s shoes here, though, as he might be most likely to be an accessory to murder in the future.

B- Jordan’s. Also: eff Kobe.

[jhawks99]

I assumed ants on a log was this:

Had no idea about raisins on celery. That's a big ole nope for me dawg.

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

b. Candle - YES
c. Pair of binoculars - YES (Good job folks!)

f. Coffee mug - NO (but was on side table next to me)

I. Can of Lysol - NO (but was sitting on the corner of my dinning room table because I used it a few days ago)
j. Nail clippers - YES

[DeletedUser]

1. I think so. Yes.

2. No, but I don't mind.

3. Nail Clippers not on your table, UCLA hat on your table.

4. Nail polish remover most tolerable. Sewer gas least tolerable.

5. Giannis

[Back2Lawrence]

The can of Lysol on a coffee table makes me laugh and think that a Pittsburgh Toilet should be a focal point of any man cave.
