Anyone can beat up on a blockhead like Charlie Brown, but to hold your own against Calvin's cunning and intellect, plus his tiger, one must have deadly instincts and a killer eye.<BR/><BR/>Hippies suck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6956070.post-1145354454012757032006-04-18T06:00:00.000-04:002006-04-18T06:00:00.000-04:00Can't believe I'm doing this...Lucy in the first r...Can't believe I'm doing this...<BR/><BR/>Lucy in the first round, Hippies over Yuppies has already been fought (and both sides lost), Bellows has a chance because Gladys will never convince Abner of anything, Encyclopedia Brown shows up at the end and proves Veronica did it herself, the Force and the Cool are obviously allies and would never fight, Freedonia would really be invading the U.S.<BR/><BR/>And I, too, have waaaaaaaay too much time on my hands.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6956070.post-1145296727109427612006-04-17T13:58:00.000-04:002006-04-17T13:58:00.000-04:00Van Pelt over Derkins - Susie's too much of a nice...Van Pelt over Derkins - Susie's too much of a nice girl. Now Lucy vs. Calvin would be a battle for the ages.<BR/><BR/>Yuppies over Hippies - Scratch a Hippie and in most cases you find a latent Yuppie. I can't help being reminded of Grace Slick's comment "We are your grandparent's worst nightmare because we <I>are</I> your grandparents."<BR/><BR/>Dr Bellows over Glady Kravitz - Gladys in either incarnation could never get Abner to look out the window. Dr. Bellows has a slight advantage in that at least some of the time General Petersen experienced a "Jeannie" oddity.<BR/><BR/>Veronica over Encyclopedia Brown - I can give you a big explanation but in essence Brown's cognitve abilities haven't devloped as extensively as Veronica's.<BR/><BR/>Fonzie's Cool over The Force - In simple terms, Fonzie's Cool is a superpower, inherent to him and untransferable. The Force is a combination of mental discipline and pseudo-religion and can be disrupted by one with superior abilities or by personal weakness.<BR/><BR/>Freedonia over USA - Firefly smarter than Bush, Chico smarter than Rumsfeld, Harpo smarter and a better musician that Rice. USA superior in one area - Rove better aid than Zeppo. Freedonia has ultimate weapon - Margaret Dumont singing national anthem.Brent McKeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14883838112004433045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6956070.post-1145285906057639342006-04-17T10:58:00.000-04:002006-04-17T10:58:00.000-04:00My picks:Van Pelt over Derkins.

If the Yuppies ever got ahold of some really good grass--courtesy of the Hips--they'd mellow out faster than you can say "material goods."<BR/><BR/>Kravitz over Bellows. But only if it was the <I>Alice Pearce</I> Kravitz. (I like Sandy Gould, but Hayden Rorke would beat her like a red-headed stepchild.)<BR/><BR/>Veronica over Encyclopedia. Again, not much of a contest there.<BR/><BR/>The Force vs. Fonzie's Cool. Both of these would be beaten by a dark horse candidate...the Schwartz.<BR/><BR/>USA vs. Freedonia. Well, the USA would probably win--but I'd get more laughs from Freedonia's side of the conflict. (Besides, they've already paid a month's rent on the battlefield.)Ivan G Shreve Jrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04067177808320053382noreply@blogger.com
