50/50 this week is about the pleasure of household chores. ;)

You know the drill: read the question, vote on the poll, elaborate in the thread if you so desire. Voting participants go into the draw for an El Pres sampler! - Drawn next Wednesday (Aus local time). :spotlight:

All about 50/50...

50/50 is a weekly poll where we find out whether or not some serious bones of contention questions can be finally be buried or will instead remain above ground as a fleshy 50/50 debate... you know, such weighty issues as these...

If given no other option:

do you prefer Hunnicutt or Trapper in M*A*S*H? 

Connery or Moore as Bond?

Apple or PC?

Smooth or Crunchy peanut butter? 

do you prefer wearing men's or women's underwear?

 Sacrificing chickens or virgins?

...that sort of standard fare. 

Vote in the poll and further bolster your standpoint in the thread below if you wish. Poll Votes are public and there's a couple of sticks up for grabs for participants. :party:

Also, PM me Polls that you'd like me to conduct on 50/50 and there'll be a prize for those we decide to use. :thumbsup:

Doing laundry, it's only once or twice per week. It can be done whenever according to your schedule. The dishes have to be done day in day out.

Can't choose the dishes.  After a good dinner of pasta and steak (which I cooked) with wine, I just need to kick back with some whisky, and in the right company, a cigar.  Can't break the flow by doing the dishes before the whisky and cigar.  Won't be in any fit state to handle washing Riedel glassware and congealed beef dripping after the whisky.  Leave it overnight, you say?  Can't - OCD.

King of the Kitchen is my name.  And doing Dishes is my game. I’ve got a super secret system down that gets this done in a blink.  Laundry is everyday in our house that is like a never ending avalanche.

I deal with doing dishes a lot.  I like the task as it’s meditative.  But laundry is so darn easy.  You never get dirty!  And when you fold, you are only dealing with repetitive behavior and it’s clean!  Podcast time!!!  No brainer for me.

Laundry. It's relatively easy. Besides it's not like I have to haul the clothes down by the river and scrub them on the rocks. You're basically putting your clothes away after your machines do all the work.

Dead split after my vote! I put laundry because it’s less total work over the course of the week (2-3 loads of laundry for my girlfriend and I vs. 10-20 meals worth of dishes). Still, if time expenditures were equal I’d rather do dishes. It’s straightforward and mindless vs. trying to figure out what exactly this particular feminine article is, how one goes about affixing it to a hanger and where it should go. Also- my clothes get washed and dried on normal or they go to the dry cleaner. Not so with feminine clothes. Further, it seems that every week there is some new article in there that I’ve never seen in my life.

Actually do both in our household. Wife cooks, I do dishes. And the wife is a clean person, so laundry is done almost everyday.

I do both but prefer laundry always good to find surprises in the laundry like a 5$ bill

Close to a 50/50 on this one, with the Dishes being the slightly preferred chore... I'm not sure what profound insight that gives us but there you go... ?

To the winner of the random draw sampler, that goes to @Copeman !!

Congrats!! :party:

Please PM your details (name, address and email) to me @MoeFOH and we'll arrange dispatch of your prize. 

Thanks to all who participated. Next poll up tomorrow! Stay tuned. :thumbsup:
