They were both funnier. Thanks. The problem is - and it is one of life's great questions - who is ranked higher of the two?Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17038118012770250140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33957555.post-12221273575207079902009-02-09T07:26:00.000-08:002009-02-09T07:26:00.000-08:00Bear jumps in - my comments on his comments -Jazz ...Bear jumps in - my comments on his comments -<BR/><BR/>Jazz - we are obviously lean towards different eras of Jazz - I prefer swing - you more modern Jazz. I have no problem with your Basie or Ellington suggestions. That's not the Miles Davis number I would choose, but, wouldn't argue with him in any larger list of great jazz hits. I was thinking of On Green Dolphin Street and should have at least made it an honorable mention. I just am not a big Weather Report or Crusader fan although I did like some of their stuff.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Your choice of woman - no problem with any of them. They are all subjective opinions, but, as Eric noted, perhaps this is the most subjective.<BR/><BR/>Animals - also extremely subjective. I wonder what our individual choices says about us psychologically. Big surprise Bear chose bears as his number one choice.<BR/><BR/>Aliens - yeah, I suppose those are good choices too.<BR/><BR/>Presidents - JEFFERSON? JEFFERSON? ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE ME MAD? I put in Eisenhower because I like round numbers (10), but, could easily be convinced of others in his place, BUT NOT JEFFERSON.<BR/><BR/>As to Magical beings, I have trouble taking Harry Potter seriously, although I did read most of the books. Dr. Strange I always thought overrated. If he is included, why not Dr. Fate or Spectre (who practically has the power of God)?<BR/><BR/>Morgan Le Fay is a great choice though.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17038118012770250140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33957555.post-10533987483151348882009-02-09T07:06:00.000-08:002009-02-09T07:06:00.000-08:00Well there's enough material here for many blogs. ...Well there's enough material here for many blogs. Each list deserved a separate blog with some arguments and such. Royalty, hoops, movies, and painters, are my blog material either past or future so we will skip all that. Quick comments:<BR/>Jazz - Kind of Blue (Miles Davis), Girl from Ipanema (Getz/Gilberto),April in Paris and One O'Clock Jump (Count Basie), Satin Doll (Ellington), Birdland (Weather Report), Street Life (Crusaders).<BR/>Women - This assumes in their prime - Jacqueline Bissett, Kathleen Turner, Kim Novack, Sharon Stone, Angie Dickinson.<BR/>Animals - Brown Bears, Crocodiles, Scarab Beetles, Cicada-Killers, Tarantulas, Snow Leopards, Tigers.<BR/>Aliens - Klatu and Gort, from the original Day the Earth Stood Still.<BR/>Presidents - surprised on how much agreement we have, except Jefferson in and Eisenhower out. <BR/>Comedians - neither KRAMDEN nor NORTON?????<BR/>Magical - Dr. Strange, Albus Dumbledore, Lord Voldemort, Morgan Le Fey, and Conan's arch enemy, the snake sorcerer, Thoth-Amon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33957555.post-53478356848695221562009-02-05T09:26:00.000-08:002009-02-05T09:26:00.000-08:00PS Shaquille O'Neil is the most overrated player i...PS Shaquille O'Neil is the most overrated player in YEARS<BR/>-DonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33957555.post-70360645045379653042009-02-05T09:25:00.000-08:002009-02-05T09:25:00.000-08:00As usual you list of women (Anwar excepted) is hor...As usual you list of women (Anwar excepted) is horrendous. Skakira's ass (while dancing) is amazing but who cares about the rest of her.<BR/><BR/>How about an honorable mention for the Mole Men; they should be in there somewhere.<BR/><BR/>"Salted Nuts" (sometimes Peanuts) Awesome jazz number. Best version by Dizzy Gilespie and Miles Davis (who I don't usually like)<BR/><BR/>And even though he's fictional I like Ozymandias.<BR/><BR/>Did you read in the papers today about the guys arrested for indecent behavior in a prking lot with 2 blow up dolls?? (It's true) He thought they were both Pamela Anderson.<BR/>-DonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33957555.post-90352389336212166322009-02-05T06:48:00.000-08:002009-02-05T06:48:00.000-08:00Good comments.

My interest lagged over ten years ago.<BR/><BR/>Chewie could be a top tenner, but not on my list. Yoda rates higher though and I should have made him ten and given Thor an honorable mention. Next time. By the way - I don't think the force can be categorized as magic. At least not in the universe it is drawn from. Then again, Mr. Myxplx doesn't really do magic either - it just appears so to us.<BR/><BR/>As to women and meals being too subjective, of course, but aren't they all?Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17038118012770250140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33957555.post-86047226883987174042009-02-05T06:28:00.000-08:002009-02-05T06:28:00.000-08:00Not Bad...your forgot someBasketball (you know the...Not Bad...your forgot some<BR/><BR/>Basketball (you know they continued to play after the 1990's)<BR/>Need to add...<BR/>Kobe<BR/>Shaq<BR/>LeBron James (after he is done, he will be one of the best ever)<BR/><BR/>Aliens<BR/>Nice call on Q<BR/>Need to add...<BR/>Chewie<BR/><BR/>Women<BR/>Too subjective to comment<BR/>However, Need to add...<BR/>Kate Beckinsale<BR/><BR/>Meals<BR/>Once again too subjective<BR/>However, Need to add<BR/>Chicken Parm<BR/><BR/>Magical Beings<BR/>Does Yoda qualify?<BR/><BR/>Ok thats enough<BR/><BR/>-EricAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
