Who Would You Rather Be, and Why?

TheOldMole Sep 13 2006 01:16 PM

Roy Rogers or the Lone Ranger?

MFS62 Sep 13 2006 01:20 PM

The Lone Ranger. I like the mystery of the mask, I'm not a rancher, and I can't sing worth a damn. Robin or Cato? Later

soupcan Sep 13 2006 01:33 PM

Bruce Lee or Boy Wonder? No contest - I'm a karate man, I bruise on the inside! Robert Redford or Paul Newman?

cooby Sep 13 2006 01:37 PM

Paul Newman, cos he's got all that food around the house. Sophia Loren or Ralph Lauren?

seawolf17 Sep 13 2006 01:48 PM

Sophia Loren. I'd be an international sexpot! Derek Jeter or Alex Rodriguez?

metirish Sep 13 2006 01:53 PM

Alex Rodriguez - he's so freaking hot. Bono or Kofi Annan edited for stupidity.

Edgy DC Sep 13 2006 02:04 PM

Bono because Bono, but I think Kofi's had a poor legacy. Romeo or Mercutio?

Gwreck Sep 13 2006 02:05 PM

metirish wrote: Alex Rodriguez - he's so freaking hot. Bono or Kofi Annan Is that even a question? Bono is quite possibly the coolest man alive. Plus Kofi Annan doesn't get to sing Where the Streets Have No Name. Bill Bellicheck or Phil Jackson?

Centerfield Sep 13 2006 02:11 PM

Phil Jackson. Bill Belichik is a wuss. And he dresses funny. Derek Jeter or Joe McEwing?

Edgy DC Sep 13 2006 02:14 PM

Hey, Romeo or freaking Mercutio!?

seawolf17 Sep 13 2006 02:17 PM

Mercutio, because he dies in a fight and not like a dork. McEwing, because everybody seems to like him, whereas Derek Jeter is an ass. Norm Peterson or Cliff Claven?

Mr. Zero Sep 13 2006 02:22 PM

Norm. He consumes more fake beer. Bill O'Reilly or Rush Limbaugh?

cooby Sep 13 2006 02:27 PM

Rush Limbaugh. Who wouldn't want a name like "Rush"? Whoa. Jack Tripper or the Professor?

Yancy Street Gang Sep 13 2006 02:30 PM

The Professor. He's alone on that island now with Ginger and Marianne. Jack Tripper is dead. James Garfield or William McKinley?

ScarletKnight41 Sep 13 2006 02:32 PM

cooby wrote: Who wouldn't want a name like "Rush"? My congressman's first name is Rush.

Vic Sage Sep 13 2006 04:10 PM

McKinley. Garfield was killed at age 50, after only 6 months as prez, and it took him 80 days to die from his wound. McKinley lived to 58, served a full term as prez and was then re-elected, before getting shot. And then he died only a week later. ------- Zeus or Odin?

RealityChuck Sep 13 2006 04:20 PM

Zeus. Sounds better. Breath mint or candy mint?

Yancy Street Gang Sep 13 2006 04:25 PM

Are you asking if I'd rather be a breath mint or a candy mint? Either way you get sucked, but if you're a breath mint you're being sucked by somebody with bad breath. And that would suck. So I guess I'll say candy mint. Would you rather be a dog or a cat?

Willets Point Sep 13 2006 04:46 PM

This is becoming the lightning round of Would You Rather.

soupcan Sep 13 2006 05:11 PM

Dog. I'd rather eat my own feces than cough on a hair ball. Maybe not. President of the United States or United States Supreme Court Chief Justice?

sharpie Sep 13 2006 05:14 PM

Supreme Court judge. Lifetime appointment, baby. The guy who spreads tar on the highway or the guy drilling the hole in the pavement?

Gwreck Sep 13 2006 05:15 PM

I'll take the lifetime appointment, thanks. Governor of your state or Senior US Senator from your state?

Mr. Zero Sep 13 2006 07:57 PM

Governor Tar Spreader sounds better than State Senator Drilling The Hole Guy. Malcolm McDowell or Malcolm Maclaren?

TheOldMole Sep 13 2006 09:25 PM

I always liked Malcolm McDowell. Besides, you'd get to be married to Mary Steenburgen. Buffy or Angel?

Yancy Street Gang Sep 13 2006 10:09 PM

TheOldMole wrote: I always liked Malcolm McDowell. Besides, you'd get to be married to Mary Steenburgen. I thought that was Ted Danson?

TheOldMole Sep 13 2006 10:13 PM

Wasn't she married to Malcolm before Ted?

Yancy Street Gang Sep 13 2006 10:44 PM

Maybe! I thought you were talking in the present tense, though.

seawolf17 Sep 13 2006 10:55 PM

Buffy. Because she's hot. Donn Clendenon or Ray Knight?

MFS62 Sep 14 2006 06:50 AM

Donn Clendenon - because he was a major contributor to the Mets first World Series win. Fred Wilpon or George Steinbrenner? Later

Rockin' Doc Sep 14 2006 07:04 AM

Wilpon because I'd be rich rich, I'd own the Mets, and I wouldn't be an obnoxious MFY. Would you rather be Michael Jordan or Tiger Woods?

HahnSolo Sep 14 2006 09:12 AM

Tiger, because I'd have a complete psychological stranglehold over all my competitors, and I'd have a longer athletic career than Jordan. The Flash or Aquaman?

Edgy DC Sep 14 2006 09:19 AM

i was too slow on the Tiger/Jordan question. Flash. Chicks don't like scales. Sulu or Checkov?

MFS62 Sep 14 2006 09:30 AM

Sulu - he had fewer lines to remember and his uniform fit better. Grandma Moses or Mother Teresa? Later

Vic Sage Sep 14 2006 11:05 AM

Grandma Moses, cuz i'd rather hold a paintbrush than a leper's misplaced finger. King Arthur or Siddhartha?

MFS62 Sep 14 2006 01:39 PM

King Arthur, so I wouldn't have to keep checking my ID to see how to spell my name. But being able to be at peace with the world has its merits, too. Gen. Eisenhower or Gen. Marshall? Later

cooby Sep 14 2006 04:12 PM

I guess I will say General Eisenhower, because then I would know who I am. Would you rather be Marilyn Monroe or Jackie Kennedy?

seawolf17 Sep 14 2006 04:22 PM

cooby wrote: I guess I will say General Eisenhower, because then I would know who I am. Awesome response. cooby wrote: Would you rather be Marilyn Monroe or Jackie Kennedy? Marilyn. Both icons, but I'd take gorgeous film legend over First Lady. Bobby Bonilla or Vince Coleman?

Yancy Street Gang Sep 14 2006 04:34 PM

Bobby Bonilla. He smiles a lot, and Coleman sulks. I assume that Bobby is happier. (And he has a wife with a lyrical name!) Tom Cruise or Mel Gibson?

ScarletKnight41 Sep 14 2006 05:20 PM

Tom Cruise. He may be foolish, but he isn't filled with hatred. David Wright or Ryan Howard?

Vic Sage Sep 14 2006 05:38 PM

too easy... if i'm david wright, then i'm finally a Met! Orville or Wilbur Wright?

RealityChuck Sep 14 2006 08:53 PM

Orville. Better name (and you can't think of Wilbur without Mr. Ed). Fish or Fowl?

Rockin' Doc Sep 14 2006 09:47 PM

Fowl, I think it would great to be able to fly. Deaf or blind?

ScarletKnight41 Sep 14 2006 10:00 PM

Deaf. In this day and age, there are so many ways to communicate via text. It's harder to make up for the lack of sight. Super Strength or X-Ray Vision?

TheOldMole Sep 14 2006 10:58 PM

Well, as the MAD parody put it, "Little do those ladies in the powder room across the hall know that I, Clark Bent, assistant copy boy, am in reality Superduperman, with -- hee hee hee -- li'l old X-ray vision! Lawrence of Arabia or Martin Lawrence?

TheOldMole Sep 14 2006 11:00 PM

MFS62 Sep 15 2006 11:20 AM

TheOldMole wrote: Lawrence of Arabia or Martin Lawrence? Lawrence of Arabia - I like being a man of mystery. George or Ira (Gershwin)? Later

TheOldMole Sep 15 2006 12:59 PM

George -- I can write words (maybe not like Ira) but I can't write music, and I'd love to be able to. George W. Bush or George H. W. Bush?

Edgy DC Sep 15 2006 01:08 PM

GW, still in a postiion to make a difference. A better difference. Trammell or Whittaker?

soupcan Sep 15 2006 01:47 PM

Sweet Lou. Name lends itself to better nicknames. Sandy Koufax or Roger Clemens? (try to be objective)

Yancy Street Gang Sep 15 2006 01:51 PM

I'd prefer Clemens' lengthy career, but I'd rather be a New Yorker than a Texan, no matter how you slice it. Plus, Sandy's a respected elder statesman of the game, and Clemens is a thug. Harvey Korman or Tim Conway?

RealityChuck Sep 15 2006 03:21 PM

Conway. For Rango. Patty or Cathy?

seawolf17 Sep 15 2006 03:40 PM

Cathy. I'd rather have no nose than be a chain-smoking lesbian. Homer or Marge?

SteveJRogers Sep 15 2006 03:50 PM

Homer, rather be an icon of pop culture than a secondary star! Johnny Cash or Elvis Presley?

Edgy DC Sep 15 2006 03:53 PM

Elvis. In Johnny's own autobio, he says something along the lines of "There wren't nothing before like him. Weren't nothing since." I'd try not to fuck up as much. But that kinda goes for Johnny also. Godzilla or Gamera?

RealityChuck Sep 15 2006 04:00 PM

Gamera. He is a friend to children! April or October?

Yancy Street Gang Sep 15 2006 04:00 PM

Godzilla is the King of All Monsters. 'Nuff said. (Though Kong will always be my number one.) Laurel or Hardy?

Yancy Street Gang Sep 15 2006 04:01 PM

Two questions on the table. Somebody answer 'em both and pose another.

metirish Sep 15 2006 04:07 PM

April - a new season Mets season begins Laurel - as a kid he was a fave Steve Jobs or Bill Gates?

TheOldMole Sep 15 2006 05:15 PM

Bill Gates. He's richer, but he's also become a really important player in the making the world a better place game. Humphrey Bogart or John Wayne?

MFS62 Sep 18 2006 09:30 AM

John Wayne. I think its cool to have a major airport named after you. Would you rather have the ability to: Grow pubic hair on pizza? or Imbed carnal thoughts into someone else's mind about Nikolas Copernicus? Later

Edgy DC Sep 18 2006 09:37 AM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Sep 18 2006 09:40 AM

I'm not sure this is within the spirit of the thread, though perhaps one of the other threads.

soupcan Sep 18 2006 09:39 AM

FOUL! this is not 'what power would you like to have?' its 'Who would you rather be?' Thread automatically reverts back to the last valid question which was - John Wayne or Bogie. Let's stick with Duke just 'cuz, well, he was the man. Hall or Oates?

cooby Sep 18 2006 10:00 AM

MFS62 wrote: Grow pubic hair on pizza? Later FOUL is right, bleech!

ScarletKnight41 Sep 18 2006 10:18 AM

I agree with cooby.

MFS62 Sep 18 2006 10:20 AM

I actually saw that question in a book at my local Borders this past weekend. (Don't remember the title but it was right in front on a table of new releases.) It was a small paperback book with weird choices like that in it. I'd like to assure everyone that I am not so weird as to come up with a question like that. Sorry if it offended. Or if it was in the wrong thread. Later

MFS62 Sep 18 2006 10:24 AM

Hall or Oates? The classic baseball question. Would you rather be a relief pitcher with a strange delivery or a journeyman catcher? In this case, Oates, because he became a major league manager. Adele Astaire or Ginger Rogers? Later

TheOldMole Sep 18 2006 01:14 PM

I'd go with Adele. You wouldn't be saddled with Ginger's politics. Sir Lawrence Olivier or Sir John Geilgud?

Edgy DC Sep 18 2006 01:19 PM

Geilgud, based largely on a tiny role he had in Getting It Right when he was 150 years old. Lynn Redgrave was asked about when all the great Shakespearan stage actors met at her house --- her dad Michael, Oliver, Burton, et al. --- who did they consider first among them. Her reply was that none of them would admit any of the others were better, but that none them took role after Geilgud had done it. Geilgud also did comedy like none of them could. Well, Guinness could, but he's not in the question. Lynn or Vanessa Redgrave?

MFS62 Sep 18 2006 01:33 PM

Lynn- less baggage. Rambo or Rocky? Later

TheOldMole Sep 18 2006 03:24 PM

Rocky -- I'd rather get hit than shot at. Stan Lee or Steve Ditko?

Yancy Street Gang Sep 18 2006 03:31 PM

I can identify more with Steve Ditko. Stan seeks the spotlight and loves the glory. But of course, if I was Stan, I'd be enjoying all that. So I'll pick Stan Lee. He seems to be enjoying his life and his old age. Spider-Man or Daredevil?

soupcan Sep 18 2006 03:48 PM

Spider strength or radioactive blindness? I'll take web-slinging thanks. Mike or The Mad Dog?

MFS62 Sep 19 2006 11:47 AM

Mad Dog - he may be an irreverent little sniper, but I think he at least has a good, self-effacing sense of humor and is basically a good person. Mike has a dour personality and will never entertain any criticism of himself. A construction worker or a flight attendant? Later

cooby Sep 19 2006 12:05 PM

I like flying, but a flying waitress is out. Arrr. A construction worker gets to be outside, has the satisfaction of creating and buildijng something, drives a pickup, and can wear flannel shirts all the time. Would you rather be Queen Latifa or Queen Elizabeth?

MFS62 Sep 19 2006 12:12 PM

Queen Latifa - I don't like dowdy pillbox hats. This is funny because this morning I was going to post a Queen Latifa or Oprah question. And I forgot. So, here it is; Queen Latifa or Oprah? Later

cooby Sep 19 2006 03:28 PM

Queen Latifa, because she seems to be happy with herself the way she is. A quality trait. Would you rather be Willie Randolph or Joe Torre? Edit: Arrrr

TheOldMole Sep 19 2006 07:38 PM

Cooby...oh, come on. How about Willie Randolph or Bobby Valentine?

SteveJRogers Sep 19 2006 10:40 PM

Willie Randolph, there is too much Dodger in Bobby Valentine's life Who would you rather be, Joe DiMaggio or Tom Seaver?

Edgy DC Sep 19 2006 10:52 PM

Seaver was a Met. DiMaggio was a Yankee. Seaver has the satisfaction of knowing he (safely) opposed the Vietnam War and never endorsed cigarettes. Seaver had the Highest Hall of Fame percentage supporting his enshrinement. DiMaggio didn't even go first ballot. Seaver is gruff with his public. DiMaggio was downright paranoid. Seaver, alive. DiMaggio dead. DiMaggio had the Yankees introduce him as the greatest living ballplayer. Seaver knew and knows exactly how good he was and wasn't. Seaver kept pitching as long as he could, and made adjustments as his skills abandoned him. DiMaggio quit and went home after one bad year. Seaver. Too damn easy. Alberto Castillo or Tony Castillo?

SteveJRogers Sep 19 2006 11:25 PM

Tony, no man should ever be called Bambi Tony Soprano or Vito Corleone

cooby Sep 20 2006 08:35 AM

Tony Soprano or Vito Corleone Vito died in his garden. What better way to go? Would you rather be the proud winner of a primo white 1960's convertible or the proud winner of a primo red 2000's convertible?

MFS62 Sep 20 2006 09:07 AM

White 1980 convertible. Those attract the admiring eyes and questions of ordinary folks. Red convertibles attract state troopers. Would you rather be Lindsay Lohan or Britney Spears? Later

Edgy DC Sep 20 2006 11:49 AM

How unpalatable. Lindsay. As far as I know, she's never kissed Madonna. Vern Hoscheit or Greg Pavlick?

MFS62 Sep 20 2006 11:59 AM

Pavlik. When I tell somebody my last name, I don't want them to have to say Gazeundheit. In answer to my own question, I'd pick Britney. She's happy and doesn't carry the baggage of personal and familial alcohol/substance abuse. And she has at least a modicum of talent. Question: Napoleon I or Napoleon II? Later

SteveJRogers Sep 20 2006 12:01 PM

The first and more famous one. Reason for such things as The Napoleonic Code Tom Seaver or Nolan Ryan?

TheOldMole Sep 20 2006 01:38 PM

Seaver. I'd rather be associated with the Mets in everyone's mind, and ultimately Seaver was the greater pitcher, which I'd also rather be. Ryan probably more beloved, but I can always buy friends. Andy Bathgate or Carl Braun?

MFS62 Sep 20 2006 01:49 PM

WOW! I saw both of them play. Neither of them played on a great team. Braun was a good steady guard, but not the player other teams had to design a game plan around to stop. Bathgate was a great scorer with a wicked slap shot. I'd pick him. Howard Cosell or Walter Winchell? Mole- check the "All Purpose" thread. I'll soon be posting some memories associated with the teams those players were on. Later

Vic Sage Sep 20 2006 02:42 PM

Cosell. I'd rather be obnoxious than evil. how about PAUL Winchell & Jerrry Mahoney OR Chuck & Bob?

RealityChuck Sep 20 2006 02:49 PM

Paul Winchell. Anyone working on inventing an artificial heart gets extra points. Armando Benetez or Braden Looper?

SteveJRogers Sep 20 2006 02:56 PM

Benitez, he never actually lost his closer role

Edgy DC Sep 20 2006 02:57 PM

Armando Benitez, so Met fans could kiss my black ass. Joel Youngblood or Steve Henderson?

SteveJRogers Sep 20 2006 03:01 PM

Henderson, he's in the top 50 in the CPF All Time Player Rankings I'll double dip since I was called away after posting John Stearns or Todd Hundley Ron Hodges or Craig Swan

cooby Sep 20 2006 03:22 PM

Youngblood. Stearns. Swan. No particular reason. Would you rather be Ozzy Osbourne or Hulk Hogan

SteveJRogers Sep 20 2006 07:53 PM

Hulk Hogan, you can still understand what he is saying Bret Hart or Stone Cold Steve Austin

cooby Sep 21 2006 01:43 PM

Bret Hart. Not that I particular like him, but Steve Austin has got to be one of the most disgusting human beings ever. Would you rather be Lucy or Ethel? And why?

MFS62 Sep 21 2006 01:54 PM

Ethel. I couldn't stand being married to a man who kept threatening to "send me to the moon". At least not the way he meant it. James Bond or Napoleon Solo? Later

Yancy Street Gang Sep 21 2006 01:57 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Sep 21 2006 02:00 PM

Ethel Mertz was married to Ralph Kramden?

Edgy DC Sep 21 2006 01:59 PM

Or Lucy?

Willets Point Sep 21 2006 02:00 PM

Would make for some interesting crossover episodes.

Yancy Street Gang Sep 21 2006 02:01 PM

That's right, I guess he was implying that Lucy was married to Ralph Kramden.

cooby Sep 21 2006 02:07 PM

I Love Ethel more than I Love Lucy

TheOldMole Sep 21 2006 06:59 PM

I'd rather be Napoleon Solo. He was cooler, and only one person played him so I'd know who I was identifying with. Besides, I'm good at saying "Open Channel D." Sam Spade or Philip Marlowe?

MFS62 Sep 22 2006 12:54 PM

Sam Spade. He was played on the radio by Edward G. Robinson, whose niece I dated for a while. Somehow, I think that's my "6 degrees of separation" with that character. Bob Gibson or Satchell Paige? Later

Willets Point Sep 22 2006 12:59 PM

Satchell, he was a great pitcher, but mostly I'd just like to have that much moxie. Louis XIV or Henry VIII?

MFS62 Sep 22 2006 01:04 PM

Henry VIII. He had a song about him sung by Herman's Hermits. You can't say the same for Louis XIV. Jackie Wilson or Otis Redding? Later

Yancy Street Gang Sep 22 2006 01:04 PM

Which one of them always threatened to send his wife to the moon? I don't know as much about Louis XIV as I should, but I know enough about Henry VIII to know I don't want to be him. Although I'd rather be British than French. David Letterman or Jay Leno?

Yancy Street Gang Sep 22 2006 01:05 PM

Two questions on the table. Anyone bold enough to answer them both?

MFS62 Sep 22 2006 01:19 PM

Ralph Kramden (Jackie Gleason) said that to his wife. I already answered the Henry VIII question. David Letterman. He caters to a hipper audience. If I had an audience so dumb that I had to keep asking then "Did you hear about this?" (Leno) I'd kill myself. My question "Jackie Wilson or Otis Redding? " awaits the next response. Later

Willets Point Sep 22 2006 01:30 PM

Otis. He's the man. The greatest male vocalist ever. Although I wouldn't look forward to the plane crash part. Daffy or Donald?

MFS62 Sep 22 2006 01:39 PM

Daffy, no contest. He's a devious little critter, and I like that in a duck. And he hung around with a more interesting group of characters at Warner Brothers, unlike that bland bunch over at Disney's. Sagebrush Sam or Elmer Fudd? Later

seawolf17 Sep 22 2006 02:10 PM

Elmer Fudd. Who the heck is Sagebrush Sam? (Unless you mean Yosemite Sam, in which case Yosemite Sam.) Edgy or KC?

MFS62 Sep 22 2006 02:17 PM

seawolf17 wrote: Elmer Fudd. Who the heck is Sagebrush Sam? (Unless you mean Yosemite Sam, in which case Yosemite Sam.) Edgy or KC? IIRC he was called both in different cartoon episodes, but yeah, I meant the character you called Yosemite Sam. KC, because I've met him. If I ever have the opportunity to meet Edgy I might change my mind. Katherine Hepburn or Angela Landsbury? (assuming Kate is still alive) Later

cooby Sep 22 2006 10:34 PM

Angela Lansbury. She is/ was better looking, has a MUCH better voice, lives in that cool little village in Maine (though her friends keep getting offed) and I've never doubted her femininity. Who would you rather be: Carol Burnet or Carol Brady?

SteveJRogers Sep 22 2006 10:39 PM

Burnet. Rather be a real legend in the field of comedy rather than a one-note character whom the actress is still playing off of some 40 years later Mary Tyler Moore or Candice Bergen

Edgy DC Sep 22 2006 10:48 PM

Mary Tyler Moore is funny, or at least was once. Candace Bergen never was. Ever. On her best day. Gordy the Weatherman or Chuckles the Clown?

SteveJRogers Sep 22 2006 11:42 PM

Chuckles. Got one hell of a sendoff! Tug McGraw or Tim McGraw

Rockin' Doc Sep 23 2006 08:01 AM

Tim is married to Faith Hill, so he has that going for him and he's still alive. Tug, on the other hand, got to play major league baseball and win World Series titles (with the Mets no less). Tug also ot to feel the joy of seeing his son suceed in his career and be happy which is all that any parent could ever wish for their child. So I would have to go with the senior McGraw's life. Would your rather be the Hulk or Thing?

SteveJRogers Sep 23 2006 09:58 AM

The Thing. More popular in the MU, but while not as well known in RL the FF stories and ancilliary characters (Silver Surfer, Dr. Doom) are more well known in real life, and I'll take comparisions to Lawrence Tierney any day! Easilly one of the better pop culture references in a movie. Reservoir Dogs: "The Thing; motherfucker looks like The Thing." And the next thing you see is a cut-away of a Thing action figure as Mr. Orange is fumbling for some keys Dick Grayson or Tim Drake

Edgy DC Sep 23 2006 11:09 AM

Dick Grayson was taller, got to be in the TV show, and got his own act after a while. Paul Bunyan or Pecos Bill?

SteveJRogers Sep 23 2006 01:51 PM

Pecos Bill. I'm sure Bunyan would be sick of hearing those old Mark McGwire comparisons back in 1998 Billy the Kid or Wild Bill Hitchcock

TheOldMole Sep 23 2006 03:45 PM

Wild Bill Hickock. Billy the Kid was stone ugly, and died younger. On the plus side, he had a better song written about him. Charlie Parker or Dizzy Gillespie?

SteveJRogers Sep 23 2006 09:26 PM

Charlie Parker, cool nickname, Bird, and packed a lengthy career into a short lifetime Paul Simon or Paul Williams

TheOldMole Sep 27 2006 05:38 AM

Paul Simon -- I'd love to have written "The Boxer," "Me and Julio," and a bunch of the others. Mr. Clean or Mr. Goodwrench?

Johnny Dickshot Sep 27 2006 07:27 AM

Mr. Clean. Desperate Housewives every damn day. Felix the Cat or Felix Millan?

Edgy DC Sep 27 2006 08:45 AM

Millan. Mets trump all, I guess, but he has depth, and, for a relatively obscure player, he's got that signature chokeup that's made people disproportionately remember him for decades. You had my answer on the Clean vs. Goodwrench question also. Bonham or Moon?

MFS62 Sep 27 2006 12:17 PM

Edgy DC wrote: Bonham or Moon? Question clarification time: Jason, John or Tracy (Bonham)? Later

Edgy DC Sep 27 2006 12:18 PM

John Bonham or Keith Moom?

TheOldMole Sep 27 2006 12:21 PM

Keith Moon, because he had one of the greatest obituaries I ever saw, in Rolling Stone: Keith Moon Dies Before He Gets Old. Janis, Jimi, Mama Cass or Jim?

RealityChuck Sep 27 2006 01:06 PM

Jimi. The rest were good, but they weren't Hendrix. Paul McCartney or Mick Jagger?

MFS62 Sep 27 2006 01:09 PM

RealityChuck wrote: Paul McCartney or Mick Jagger? Paul, he married for money - the only way to go. Leo Sayer or Adam Ant? Later

TheOldMole Sep 29 2006 11:14 AM

Yuk. But Adam Ant had at least something of an acting career, and I seem to recall he was in something good, though I can't remember what. Broadway and 42nd or Bleecker and MacDougal?

Willets Point Oct 05 2006 11:55 AM

Do I want to be an intersection? Doesn't sound like much of a life but Broadway's too flashy & touristy for me so I'll take my corner in the Village. Rickey Henderson or Elmo (the little red monster)?

MFS62 Oct 05 2006 11:59 AM

Rickey Henderson, so I could talk about myself in the third person. Kermit or Miss Piggy? Later

Edgy DC Oct 05 2006 12:16 PM

Kermit. He plays the banjo. Kermit's life is stressful, always being cast in the role of being a leader of maniacs. But Ms. Piggy is tragic, glamming out as a means of repressing her self-hatred. A lot of Frank Oz's characters seem to have self-esteem issues that I suspect trouble their sleep. _____________________ Tom or Huck?

SteveJRogers Oct 05 2006 12:20 PM

Huck Huck and Tom are the classic "Guy we wish we were and the guy we actually are" in the annals of story telling. Plus in the words of Alabama, you would "hang around" with Tom but "ride around" with ol' Huck Finn Kermit The Frog or Yoda?

Willets Point Oct 05 2006 01:51 PM

Turkey, chickens have that coward connotation and all Jim Henson or Frank Oz?

TheOldMole Oct 06 2006 02:02 PM

Frank Oz. More range. A friend of mine once had a blind date with Jim Henson. He brought Kermit. He was wonderful and charming and well-spoken and a good conversationalist -- as long as he talked through Kermit. The waiters took the orders from Kermit. Finally, she couldn't take it any more. She stared directly at him, and wouldn't talk to Kermit. And he completely fell apart. He mumbled, stammered... I told her what all her friends have told her -- you really let us down. It was your responsibility to your friends to go to bed with him, and see if he brought Kermit. The Wizard of Oz or the Wizard of Ozz?

MFS62 Oct 06 2006 02:14 PM

TheOldMole Oct 06 2006 06:12 PM

Oh Lord, that's a killer. But I'll take Patsy for more range of emotion. Abbie Hoffman or Jerry Rubin?

Willets Point Oct 20 2006 05:22 PM

This is tough choice since it means either dying by barbituate overdose or dying by being hit by a car. Neither sounds pleasant. I'll take Hoffman since he stuck to his political principles to the end. William "Boss" Tweed or Huey "Kingfish" Long?

RealityChuck Oct 20 2006 06:35 PM

Boss Tweed. He had style (and was far from the most corrupt Tammany leader, BTW -- just the most blatant). Harlan Ellison or Ralph Ellison?

MFS62 Oct 21 2006 06:11 PM

Harlan Ellison - writing sci-fi (a famous Star Trek episode) is much more fun that being a socially conscious writer. Mookie Wilson or Hack Wilson? Later

SteveJRogers Oct 21 2006 06:35 PM

Mookie. Most likely will not end up with the same fate as Hack Wilson, and there are no stories of Mookie being a drunkard. Conway Twitty or Johnny Cash?

TheOldMole Oct 22 2006 07:41 PM

I'm going to say Conway Twitty, just to be a contrarian. Healthier life, and as I said in my Conway essay in the New Country Music Encyclopedia, Today's young retro country singers talk about (and echo, in their own singing) Hank and Lefty, Merle Haggard and George Jones. You don't, for whatever reason, hear any young Conway Twittys, but he was as strong a stylist as any of them. A Jet or a Shark?

MFS62 Oct 23 2006 09:53 AM

Mole, I think that question was asked before, but; A Shark. Any gang that has Richard Beymer and Russ Tanblin in it (the Jets) couldn't have been all that tough. Green Berets(led by John Wayne) or Delta Force (led by Chuck Norris)? Later

RealityChuck Oct 23 2006 10:12 AM

Green Beret. Not only do you have the Duke, but you get to see the pine forests of Vietnam and watch the sun set in the east. Paul or Carly Simon?

Carly Simon - she's taller. Much, much taller. Will Smith or Will Ferrell? Later

Vic Sage Oct 23 2006 10:29 AM

Paul. I'd rather not fuck James Taylor, even though I fucked over Art Garfunkel. Neil Simon or John Simon?

TheOldMole Oct 23 2006 01:51 PM

Will Smith is hipper, Neil Simon is funnier. So Will and Neil. I once took a creative writing course from John Simon. He actually liked my work. Simon Legree or Simon LeBon?

Willets Point Oct 23 2006 01:55 PM

I think I'll take LeBon just because LeGree was odious. Otis Redding or Sam Cooke?

Edgy DC Oct 23 2006 01:56 PM

Whiney bandleader yachtsman married to a model beats being a slavemaster viciously detemined to crush his slaves' spirits. I'm funny that way. Magilla Gorilla or Grape Ape?

So we've got three. Sam Cooke because he came first. He was the gold standard. And as great as Otis was, I don't know that he ever did anything to equal "Touch the Hem of His Garment." Magilla, because I don't remember Grape Ape. Bono, because BonJovi will never win a Nobel Peace Prize. Nobel Prizewinner for Peace or Literature?

MFS62 Oct 23 2006 02:21 PM

Literature. Peace can be situational and temporary. Wars can restart. But Literature can be enjoyed forever by everyone, even if "banned" in some places. MVP or Cy Young winner? Later

Basketball, despite having the same season length of hockey it doesn't get killed for getting started as the baseball postseason is going on (or the aftershock of the WS in hoops case) and the football season heating up on the front end, and still going despite baseball being in full throttle on the back end. Loretta Lynn or Reba McEntire?

RealityChuck Oct 23 2006 11:24 PM

Is George Strait?

SteveJRogers Oct 24 2006 07:13 AM

Icon of country music, someone who many one say is better than Garth or anyone going today. His career started in the early 80's and is still going strong today. Over 50 # 1 hit singles, ect.

RealityChuck Oct 24 2006 09:01 AM

Reread the question. I choose my words carefully.

Willets Point Oct 24 2006 11:59 AM

TheOldMole Oct 24 2006 03:15 PM

Sparrow. I'm sure there's some advantage to being a snail, but none that flight doesn't trump. Would you rather be a calypso singer in Trinidad or a lounge singer in Vegas?

Edgy DC Oct 24 2006 03:24 PM

Jeez, good calypso singers in Trinidad are like demigods, good lounge singers in Vegas are like capos. The service is probably better in Vegas, but you have to watch your back. Trinidad. Would you rather be the person who wrote the delightful but sexist calypso crossover "If You Want to Be Happy," or the person who wrote the delightful but sexist calypso crossover "Man Smart/Woman Smarter"?

Willets Point Oct 24 2006 03:30 PM

"If You Want to Be Happy" is a nice tribute to ugly women. "Woman Smarter" isn't actually about smarts it's about deceit and belabors the point. Would you rather be Jimmy Walker or Fiorello LaGuardia?

SteveJRogers Oct 24 2006 05:37 PM

Long night last night Chuck...Geez! Ehem, Mayor of New York City, generally the governership is second fiddle thanks to NYC's, NYC-ness. After all, how many city mayors can be called "America's Mayor" the way Gulianni can? Maybe the Daily family in Chicago Big Bird or Elmo

RealityChuck Oct 24 2006 10:27 PM

Big Bird. Not only is he less annoying (it would be hard not to be), but he is also pretty tasty. Groucho, Harpo or Chico?

TheOldMole Oct 25 2006 06:36 AM

Groucho -- all those one-liners, ripostes, zingers...I'd love to be able to do that and get away with it. I could dance with you till the cows come home...or I could dance with the cows till you come home. Lou Costello or Jerry Lewis?

RealityChuck Oct 25 2006 08:53 AM

Lou Costello. "Who's on First" is still one of the greatest comedy routines ever, and the best Lewis ever did was imitate Frank Sinatra* Alfred Hitchcock or John Ford? *In "The Nutty Professor"; actually, Lewis was exaggerating his own personality at the time as Buddy Love, but it's a lot like Sinatra (and nothing at all like Dean Martin).

MFS62 Oct 26 2006 11:05 AM

Alfred Hitchcock. I think it would be cool to appear in all your own movies. James Bond, or the guy who thinks up all his nifty "toys"? Later

TheOldMole Oct 26 2006 11:20 AM

James Bond...you get to use the toys, and you get more chicks. Besides, you can't say "Q...." and then finish it with anything. Washington or Jefferson?

Vic Sage Oct 26 2006 11:39 AM

Washington or Jefferson? Jefferson. He had his own teeth, he was a better writer, he got to screw the maid, and he played the violin... he tucked it right under his chin. Moneypenny or 99?

99 I could make extra money doing Bloomingdales commercials. The Lone Ranger or Zorro? Later

Hulk may be a fucking Pop-Culture Icon, but come on, if you are just a casual follower of comic books name 1 Hulk villian...check that, name ONE FUCKING Hulk character other than Bruce Banner. Hell they had to change his name for the TV show and only in the TV movies were ANY other Marvel characters mentioned! Thing has Silver Surfer, Dr. Doom, ect... Plus the one of the greatest lines of Resivior Dogs "The Thing, the Mother Fucker looks like the Fucking Thing!" Bud Abbott or Lou Costello

Willets Point Nov 09 2006 02:56 PM

Ray Charles. More of a cross-genre legend of Americana Pop-Culture than Wonder. Garth Brooks or Alan Jackson

cooby Nov 09 2006 08:09 PM

Alan Jackson. He's got a good name. Garth Brooks is just comical sounding. I mean, really--Garth. Besides Alan Jackson has a much prettier voice. And hair. Who woud you rather be, your mom or your dad?

My mother was more involved in the arts, and I keep thinking that ought to tilt the balance. But lunch with Chou-en Lai is hard to top. So I'll go with my father. Jenna Bush or Chelsea Clinton?

RealityChuck Nov 12 2006 01:33 PM

TheOldMole Nov 12 2006 06:20 PM

Well, I'd have a better chance to be president as Hillary, and I'm not sure that's a good thing, but I'd also do better on stock tips, and that's gotta be a good thing. On the other hand, Chuck Schumer has a New York street thing that I kinda dig, so I was starting out to choose him. But now that I look at all this, the stock tips really sound appetizing.

MFS62 Nov 18 2006 03:57 PM

Adam Clayton may have had better quantity of beauties following him. But I was once on a flight from DC to New York. Rep Adam Clayton Powell was on the flight, accompanied by two of his, er, "assistants". I would say if they were representative of the quality of the beauties who accompnied him, Rep Powell gets my nod. Collin Powell or Grover Powell? Later

Grover -- a cuppa coffee with the Mets counts more than a banquet at the White House. Grover Cleveland or Grover Cleveland Alexander?

SteveJRogers Nov 18 2006 08:21 PM

Ole Pete, HOF baseball legend over a President who's claim to fame concerning a candy bar is dubious at best. Bo Schembechler or Woody Hayes

Captain Hook or Captain Cook? Later

Captain Cook. Much more handy. Jiminy Cricket or Mary Poppins?

MFS62 Nov 21 2006 09:30 PM

Mary Poppins, because she was never an "I told you so" type like Jiminy. Cricket or Field Hockey? (Incidentally, John Facenda was the "magic voice" of the 50's and 60's. He narrated "Victory at Sea" on tv and was the first voice of NFL films. If you listened to some of the NFL games from that era, and you will immediately remember his "voice of doom". He also was a character actor.) Later

Willets Point Nov 21 2006 10:54 PM

Do I want to be a cricket or a field hockey? I can't imagine being a game but I'd rather play cricket. It seems to be a delightfully odd yet civilized endurance test. I watched part of a cup match in Bermuda once. Then again field hockey involves women in plaid skirts. Hmmm... James Brown or George Clinton?

Edgy DC Nov 21 2006 10:58 PM

James. His music has an acute sense of climax. Clinton's is a bout sustaining it, often when you should be letting it go. James Brown or Jim Brown?
