2:55 pm [boffo]	Jurassic Fight Club Jurassic Fight Club premieres tomorrow. It appears to be like whodwinafight: The TV show, although it's limited specifically to dinosaurs. Hopefully they won't mess it up, like the abysmal Animal Face-Off. That's the show that took the premise of robot and virtual reality versions of vicious predators battling to the death, and somehow made it boring. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

1:38 pm [boffo]	Nerds on Sports March Madness Tournament - Round 2 Round Two of the Nerds on Sports tournament is up. Apparently, the T-1000 barely beat Inigo Montoya, thus demonstrating the shocking fact that a lot of people on the Internet are morons. Some of the Round Two match-ups are actually a bit interesting: Poll #1156379 Nerds on Sports Round Two Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All Batman vs. Mr. Incredible (from The Incredibles) View Answers Batman 10 (83.3%) Mr. Incredible 2 (16.7%) Buffy Summers vs. Morpheus (from The Matrix) View Answers Buffy 10 (83.3%) Morpheus 2 (16.7%) Indiana Jones vs. Wolverine View Answers Indiana Jones 4 (33.3%) Wolverine 8 (66.7%) I mocked them last round for putting normal people against people/creatures with super or magic powers. However, Batman has some technobabble powers. And both he and Indiana Jones are much smarter than their opponent, and are used to facing super or supernatural opponents. So these should be good fights. Edit: Whoops. I just noticed perich already posted about this. I had seen his post, but mistakenly thought it was his personal journal rather than the community. So my apologies for the duplicate. (5 Comments |Comment on this)

12:09 pm [boffo]	Nerds on Sports March Madness Tournament Here's a single elimination tournament of various nerd culture icons. They don't specify the criteria for picking one over another. I assume it's who'd win a fight, although it could be just which one you like more. Some of the matchups are just stupid, pitting people/creatures with magic-powers and techno-babble powers against normal humans. Who'd win a fight between the T-1000 and Inigo Montoya? The correct answer to that question is, "Are you some sort of moron?" (11 Comments |Comment on this)

3:08 pm [boffo]	Ultimate Movie and TV Badass Tournament - Update [x-posted to my own journal] I've compiled all of the entries for the Ultimate Movie and TV Badass Challenge. Currently, there are 108 of them. This would work best with a power of two, so I either need 20 more suggestions, or to remove 44 people, or else figure out some sort of seeding system and give a bunch of the people first round byes. Feel free to make more suggestions or argue that someone should be removed. Especially look at the list sorted by actor to find redundantly similar characters, and argue which one should stay and which should go. For your new suggestions, remember the rule that it's humans with no superpowers only. Also, does anyone want to actually run this tournament? If we wait for me to make an entry once every few weeks, it will take forever to finish. ( full list ) (6 Comments |Comment on this)

2:17 pm [boffo]	Ultimate Movie and TV Badass Tournament I think it's time for another whodwinafight tournament. Last year's King of Beasts was pretty fun. Let's do something like that again. So who's the ultimate movie/TV badass? Who could kick the ass of all the rest? I'm opening the floor for nominations, and then I'll pick the best 2^n choices and put them in a bracket, much like last year's King of Beasts tournament. A couple of rules: 1. Humans with no superpowers only. There doesn't seem to be much point discussing what would happen if Rambo fought Superman, Dumbledore, or Optimus Prime. (Although I'd watch a movie about Rambo fighting the T-1000.) But comic-book style characters without superpowers are fine. 2. Feel free to nominate multiple incarnations of the same character if they're different enough. For example, the Connery and Craig James Bonds should probably both be in the tournament. Ditto with the Keaton and Bale Batmans. 3. Try to avoid characters that are nearly identical. Can you tell the difference between John Matrix (Commando) and Dutch (Predator)? Because I can't. 4. Heroes, villains, and supporting characters are all fine. Make your nominations in comments, and feel free to argue over other people's suggestions. Here are some of my nominations: - James Bond (Connery) - James Bond (Craig) - Batman (Keaton) - Batman (Bale) - John Matrix or Dutch (I'm open to either one. Argue for one or the other in comments) - Vic Mackey - John McClane - John Rambo - Jack Bauer - B.A. Baracus - Gunnery Sergeant Hartman (Full Metal Jacket) - Frank Castle (The Punisher) - Ellen Ripley or Hicks or Hudson or Vasquez (convince me which is best) - James T Kirk - Hannibal Lecter - Frank Martin (The Transporter) - Big Chris (Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels) or Bullet Tooth Tony (Snatch) - Major Reisman (The Dirty Dozen) - Blondie (The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly) or Joe (A Fistful of Dollars) - Kikuchiyo (The Seven Samurai) - Han Solo - Indiana Jones - Walker, Texas Ranger (Note that he doesn't get any Chuck Norris superpowers) - Jason Bourne This list is just based on my thinking of names for 10 minutes. I'm sure there are some obvious people missing, so don't berate me with, "How could you leave off [insert badass here]?" That's why I'm asking other people to submit their nominations. Also, if you think any of my suggestions are pussies, go ahead and argue why. And is anyone interested in actually running this tournament? I've had a lot more work to do at work lately, so I don't know if I'll have to time to post about it every day. (18 Comments |Comment on this)

3:17 pm [boffo]	Jeri Thompson vs. Elizabeth Kucinich It's the showdown of trophy wives of Presidential candidates! vs. Poll #1121846 Candidate's Wives Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All Who would win a fight between Jeri Thompson and Elizabeth Kucinich? View Answers Jeri Thompson 9 (60.0%) Elizabeth Kucinich 6 (40.0%) Note that these are just the women fighting without help from their husbands. So these facts about Fred Thompson won't come into play. (8 Comments |Comment on this)

8:25 am [whip_lash]	Hi! Interesting community. phanatic suggested that I should post this here: From this otherwise uninteresting article: On being asked whether he threw the towel in too soon in the 2000 presidential elections, where he narrowly lost to Bush, Gore said he had taken the fight as far as he could, and the only other option left was a "violent revolution". "I took it all the way to a final Supreme Court decision. And in our system, there is no intermediate step between a final Supreme Court decision and violent revolution. So, at that point, having taken it as far as one could, then the question becomes, are we going to be a nation of laws and not people?" Gore replied. "Do I support the rule of law, even though I disagree with the Supreme Court's decision? I did disagree with it, and I think that those of us who disagreed with it will have the better of the argument in history," he added. This made me wonder: who would win a Democratic "violent revolution"? Republicans have more guns and probably more military skill, but Democrats are more numerous, meaner, and control more industrial areas. I think it would be fun to find out, in part because, as a libertarian, I can shoot everybody. (3 Comments |Comment on this)
