Hypothetical Fight of the Day: Snake Versus Spider

Inquiring minds want to know! Who would win in an ALL OUT BATTLE BETWEEN…

SNAKE

and

SPIDER

Hypothetical Supergroup

I’m a big fan of the superest of the Supergroups, the Traveling Wilburys. For those of you not in the know, the Traveling Wilburys were Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, George Harrison, Roy Orbison, and Jeff Lynne (some dude from ELO. I don’t know. I’ve never heard of him either). They made exceptional music in which ever style they decided to grace with their attention. Plus, they had a great sense of humor: they released two albums, Traveling Wilburys Volume 1 and Traveling Wilburys Volume 3. There was no Volume 2. Doesn’t that drive you a little nuts? I love it.

I was recently listening to Under Pressure by David Bowie and Queen, and I thought “You know what, David Bowie and Freddie Mercury should have formed a Supergroup.” They would have been an excellent core. Here is who I think should have been in the group:

David Bowie

Freddie Mercury

Robert Plant

Meat Loaf

Bob Seger (because you need one guy no one cares about and his voice would work well in this mix)

This could have been a Supergroup to rival the Traveling Wilburys. They could have had street rumbles and nobody would know who would win.

Which just leaves one thing: they need a name. What is your idea?

Who would you take out? Who would you put in?

Hypothetical Battle of the Week: LeVar vs. LeVar

I figure every good blog has something they do on a regular basis. So, in an effort to be a good blog, I present to you this week’s Hypothetical Battle:

Star Trek LeVar Burton

VERSUS

Reading Rainbow LeVar Burton

Here are the rules:

In the comments section, explain who wins in a fight and why. That means show your work! You should also define what makes “victory.” For example, is victory the person who can get the others to read the most books? Or is it a more traditional idea of who kills the other first? You decide! And say how it happens.

(PS: Yes, I did do this same hypothetical fight in my now-defunct LiveJournal about three years ago.)

(And also my friend Sam came up with the idea)
