| One of the common problems encountered while working with a client is
determining how they want their site to look and feel. Some clients are less
expressive than others so I try to get the questioning onto turf that
everyone can relate to.
I usually follow a gender-based line of questioning - e.g. for guys; "If
this site were a motor vehicle, what would it be?"; and for women - "What
type of shoe or outfit?" seems to work well. People usually bring in
pictures and accessory lists and color schemes so we all get the same
expectations.
I've been using the same set of questions for years and am getting bored
with them. I was wondering what stock questions other use in this situation.

Start with the corporate image guidelines - if they have such a document
grab copies of their existing marketing material
prefer the client to employ a design guru/team
finally ask for a list of sites they like the look of (and reasons)
feedback during the build

If this site were an apple, would it be a Pink Lady, a Golden Delicious or
a Granny Smith?
If this site were a planet, would it be in danger of being reclassified as
an asteroid next week?
If this site were a dog, would anybody notice the difference?

"If this site was a fictional detective, who should it be?"
"If this site was a soap opera, which would it be?" To which, should
the answer come back "The Archers" .....

No, but it could be a Pluton.

What's wrong with it? My spell checker liked it!
Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.
