Now's your turn

Okay, so apparently Rob has the touch of death when it comes to commenting. Every time he comments on one of my posts, that's it. No more comments occur. You're like the comment lichen, Rob. (Blog ref: 10 dork points to Ryder! Me: Thank you, Chuck Norris.)

So here's an addendum to the last post to give the topic another chance. Help me out with suggestions of future polls. Any two characters or groups of characters from literature, pop culture, history, video games, or whatever that you would like to see in a fight. Go ahead, hit me.

That last post was mine, BTW. Argh, I hate this posting anonomously, But I'm too lazy to get an account. I'm also too lazy to double check and make sure "anonomous" is spelt correctly. It probably isn't.

Doesn't it suck when you have to beg for comments? It's like people just want to take and take and take and contribute nothing....oh wait this is America. We're all about that! In any case, comments are what make blogging worthwile. I mean, what's a soapbox pulpit without your loyal street corner parish? Just a hobo on a wooden box, that's what.

Anyway, my paring: John Wilkes Booth vs. Lee Harvey Oswald.

Just so there's no homecourt advantage, it can not be conducted in a Book Depository or a theater.

Yeah, I spelt "anonymous" wrong. Stupid "y". It's the transvestite letter, you know.

Strong Sad Vs. The Cheat
The Cheat would win with both of his hands duct-taped behind his back and little pieces of duct tape over his eyes... and Strong Sad could have a spear even!

COMPLETELY OFF TOPIC ALERT

Ok, that said Timmy, you might wanna check this out.

This site lists your blog. Rofl, some people have nothing to do. - Scott

I don't know what's scarier, Scott. The fact that I'm listed on some random website or the fact that you actually found me on some random website.

Alright, I gotta admit, I'm not real sure on some of those matchups... but here's the ones I do know about.

Voltron vs. Power Rangers: This wasn't even worth my time to type out. The Rangers are a bunch of punks and would have it handed to them by Voltron. Granted, the fight will last all episode, first with the lions just trying to attack, and then they'd try and use their special lion abilities, but after non of that worked they'd form Volton and would rule school. Up until the power rangers would suddenly bust out something Voltron wasn't expecting and it would look bleak for our heroes. Until they remembered that... "Oh yeah, I have that huge freakin' sword!" And that would be when the Power Rangers would be sliced in half and be no more. (whew... that was exciting).

Also, I'm putting my money on Samus (as long as she's got the suit and cannon). As well as The Bride (el Mariachi can have his guitar case even... won't change the fact he never saw it comin').

Anyways here's some other I just thought of:
The Smurfs vs. The Fraggles
Michael Moore vs. Peter Jackson (for you Jerseyville People, you can add Beauchamp into the mix)
and the girl next to me wants me to add Trinity vs. Lara Croft (not in the matrix) for her.

later all,
Rob

Vash vs. Spike? Vash all the way baby. He wouldn't even have to use the Angel arm against that punk. Although I generally like Spike, there's no way he can fight Vash. He's not even human, he's a plant!

Moving on, Link vs. Samus? As the victor of many, many Super Smash Brothers matches of this specific paring (competing against both super hard computer and real world enemies) Link has always owned that suit-wearing-cheating-piece-of-trash-wench. Game and match, Link wins.

Michael Moore vs Peter Jackson? Jackson all the way, you see though he is fat he is somewhat in better shape than Moore. Half way through the fight Moore would try to expose him for bad buissness practices and in the process get himself hungry for a hero sammich, while distracted Jackson would thrust Glamdring (I mean he has access to all the props right?) through his lard ass and only barely pierce his lung. But Peter would win.

Ok, I'm in class, so I have to go. But more fight analysis later - Scott

I take nothing short of sheer pleasure in taking out that tunic-wearing-twerp in the Smash. Consider yourself lucky that I'll probably never get the chance to show you how wrong you are about Ms. Aran.

(Tim, I'm starting fights on your board, hope you don't mind.)

Later,
Rob

P.S. Since I should probably try and put a match up here... how about:
David Bowie in Labrynth vs. Michael Jackson in Moonwalker

Let's raise the class status of the characters.... How about King Arthur and Bono or Sherlock Holmes and Monk, then there's Robin Williams and Osama in a room together. Yeah that's the ticket.

man, i love nerdy conversations :P

voltron vs. power rangers
voltron would smack the power rangers around. plus he never suffered the indignity of having horrible cut scenes that were made 30 years after the fight footage was recorded with crappy 30 year old actors playing teenagers inserted in so that American audiences who can't handle any complexity in their cinema would pay attention.

spike spiegel vs. vash the stampede
i'm gonna go with spike, just based on the fact that cowboy bebop has a cooler soundtrack, and vash is a pretty chill kinda cat. as soon as he starts grooving on the music, bam, spike takes'm down from behind. he is a bounty hunter after all, and c'mon, i'd kick tim in the back of the head for a $$60,000,000,000 reward.

chris redfield vs. leon s. kennedy
leon's cool, but chris is a special ops guy. leon's just a cop. special ops guys'll take down a cop easy. now if leon were an eagle scout...

and

frank jaeger v. olga gurlukovich
gray fox wins easy and by disqualification. olga is a girl with pit hair. that = automatic disqualification and transfer to a daiye spa to get treatment.

what about these?

rambo v. dutch (from the predator movies)
blade v. D
wesley (from a princess bride people, keep up.) v. james bond

and my favorite
grimace (from the mcdonald's commercials, y'know the big purple guy) v. the gingerbread man from shrek (with both legs)

Luckily, I only promised to kiss Tim, not Raph.

Yet hats off to you, Raph. Well played.

Oh please, Raph. We all know that cookie wouldn't stand a chance. NOTHING CAN KILL THE GRIMACE!

1 on 1, I'd put my money on Grimace. Now if its an anything goes battle, I may start to lean towards the gingerbread man... I mean, that's a smart cookie. He'd probably get his big, friends to help him out.

And Wesley vs Bond: first I must ask, is Wesley fighting for True Love? Or just thrown in a ring with Bond. And does Bond get all of his cool gadgets? So many variables to deal with here...
