conandrum

A portmanteau of Conan and conundrum
A difficult choice or decision that must be made due to a sudden, recursive turn of events, similar to the NBC/Jay Leno Show/Conan's Tonight Show controversy
NBC: Conan, we gave you The Tonight Show at 11:30, but since The Jay Leno show has been sucking, we're pushing you back to give the slot back to Jay
O'Brian: What a fucking conandrum!
Leno: I have a large chin

Marten: Dora and I were going to go to a concert, but then she wanted to watch a movie. Now I have movie tickets but she wants to go to that concert!
Faye: Assballs!

conandrum

Named for the one and only Conan the Barbarian, this is a problem that has an immediately obvious solution, yet is more easily (or at least more entertainingly) solved by violence.
1: We've got two options here. We can either skim through this book until we find the reference needed to complete the riddle, or we can slaughter the wizard and his evil henchmen and waltz right through.

2: So we've got one option.

1: A real conandrum. Let's go.
