Oh, and instead of sitcoms, maybe stars of sitcoms? Homer, Hawkeye Peirce, Andy, Chrissy etc.

That is a great idea.

oohoohooh ! i like it! let's go for sitcom stars next. this has to be something that we care enough about to participate, but not to the point that this becomes another argument thread.

Undertoad · 02-17-2005, 10:38 AM

I was kinda hoping for something less culture-bound so the rest of the world could play? Or is that an impossible goal.

lookout123 · 02-17-2005, 10:46 AM

hmmm. don't they have satellites? all that means is that david hasselhoff would take an early lead as our global friends weighed in.

Were you thinking of using different parts of the human body, or comparing the same specific body part as manifested on different people?

LabRat · 02-17-2005, 11:37 AM

Different parts of 1 body. leg vs. arm; liver vs spleen; eye vs nose etc. End result would be the most 'valuable' body part i guess. Hopefully it wouldn't end up being P vs. V, but with this group... Or, we could compare a specific part of different people. biggest/smallest or best/worst nose, lips, legs etc. Kind of hard to come up with topics that have at least 64 different things that could be compared.

What about snack foods? potato chips vs. doritos; Ho-Ho's vs. Swiss Cake Rolls?

I enjoyed this cereal battle a little too much. Next we could do... beers, candy bars, candy in general, countries, animals, constellations, movies, and I do like the sitcom idea, but we could broaden it to all tv shows?

I like the countries idea, but wonder how it would work as we get close to the final. Obviously, the USA would win most votes, since this board is based in PA.

If you couldn't vote for your own country (honor system) the USA would lose, so that wouldn't be fair either.

Sitcom/TV characters would be a good topic.

If we had all types of TV characters, you could end up with Les Nesman v. Andy Taylor.

Undertoad · 02-17-2005, 07:37 PM

Labrat, there were non-US cereals but they didn't go anywhere... some major brands are identical in other countries... I dunno.

BigV · 02-17-2005, 08:43 PM

comic book heroes (superman v batman)
comic book villians
Hey, villians in general, historical and/or fictional
movie monsters (alien v predator v the thing) /shivers/

LabRat · 02-18-2005, 08:52 AM

OK, OK, OK, enough dilly dallying around. how about board games???

checkers, chutes and ladders, scrabble, fox and hounds, sorry, parcheesi, monopoly, mah jong (sp?), monopoly, risk, connect four (not tecnically a BOARD game), battleship (nope, not that one either, but still fun as hell), memory (yeah, yeah no board either), chess, backgammon, candyland, (much better)...

OR, just games in gereral. everyone in the world, rich or poor, english speaking or not has some kind of game they can play at a kitchen table. so, is that ok? UT, I guess i just assumed that the few cereals I hadn't heard of were just US ones i had't heard of b/c i don't shop at organic/wholefoods stores. i wasn't trying to be an asshat.

sorry.

LabRat · 02-24-2005, 09:52 AM

did we give up on this?

Undertoad · 02-24-2005, 10:05 AM

No no, I was just hoping to create a nomination tool before we started the next round.
