Ok, a simple game… I start off by naming two things that could possibly fight, regardless of how unlikely or unrealistic it would be. The next poster gives their opinion, with (nice creative) reasons, as to who they think would win. Then they post another two things to battle it out and leave it to the next poster. etc… it goes on like that until we all die of boredom. 😉 There are no rules on what you can and can’t choose, even if it doesn’t exist, but try to make the two things fairly evenly matched. Ok… \*\*Which would win in a fight? A Hippo or a Rhino?\*\* 😃 ---

Hippo, if the fight goes to water. Those things are vicious when they’re cornered. Or at all. I don’t think a rhino could work up ramming speed immersed in the watering hole. \*\*Which would win in a fight? Sabre-toothed tiger, or your modern lion?\*\* ---

A saber-toothed tiger, because saber toothed tigers are way cooler. \*\*Which would win in a fight" A toaster oven, or a food processer?\*\* ---

A food processor definately! what would happen is the toaster would try and toast the food processor, and as the plastic started to melt the toaster would get over confident and boastful… Then once the plastic drops off the food processor, it would strike! Sharp blades ripping into the toasters filaments and tearing them to shreads! Mwhahahaaaaaa! \*\*Which would win in a fight? A Short Giant or a Tall Pygmy?\*\* ---

A tall Pygmy. Likely to be more limber and probably wields a mean spear. \*\*Which would win in a fight? An old gorilla or a young baboon?\*\* ---

The baboon has the moves, but the gorilla has the reach. I say the old gorilla eventually tags the baboon in round three, beats it senseless against a tree then hurls it to the tigers in the audience. \*\*Which would in in a fight? [The Big Muskie](http://little-mountain.com/bigmuskie/pics.html) or [the Krupp C300](http://www.int-islandtrading.com/various_equipment/vue-Krupp%20C%20300%20.jpg)?\*\* ---

the krupp. it looks like it wants it more. A mink on valium or an angry vole? ---

**Twisty!** Common! Valium is a sedative! The vole would win hands down, the mink would be comatose! And anyway, you’ve seen the vole cannon, so you know how dangerous those things can be! 😃 \*\*Which would win in a fight? A Frozen Lasagne or cooked Macaroni Cheese?\*\* ---

The frozen lasagne, obviously, would beat the cheese out of the macaroni, squish squish squish. \*\*Which would win in a fight? a clog or a stiletto heel?\*\* ---

A stiletto heel wouldn’t be able to pierce a clog. The clog would be able to smash the stiletto into a useless pile of leather. Right Coldy? \*\*Which would win in a fight? Coke or Pepsi?\*\* ---

Coke hands down end of story. Cylons or Stormtropers. ---

Cylons. Storm Troopers can’t shoot fer shit. \*\*What would win in a fight? A floor wax or a dessert topping?\*\* ---

Dessert topping starts with the high ground, always advantageous… but I think floor wax is too slippery a character for DT to handle. I’m saying FW mops the floor with DT. Sober, better shape Matthew Perry vs. Heavier, but drug crazed Matthew Perry. ---

The heavier drug-crazed Matthew Perry, simply because he could take more damage and still stand upright, while all that the drug free Perry would be able to do is fire off one-liners. **Now making their way to the ring:** Steven from the Dell computer ads Vs. The Gecko from the Geico car insurance ads. Who’s it gonna be? ---

The gecko, because it has the higher IQ, Next: Window or aisle? ---

The Aisle because it’ll make the window explode while waiting to get to the bathroom. Next. A Crocodile or Steve Irwin without any help or props in a Gladiator pit. ---

Steve Irwin, because otherwise your allusion would be validated. Take that! \*\*What would win in a fight? Percocet or Vicodin?\*\* ---

Percocet because it’s all natural and more powerful. Grand Canyon or Niagra Falls ---

Niagra Falls because it has the advantage of…wait for it…peer pressure. You know, water pressure? Bad pun, okay. **Eddie from “Frasier” or Happy from "Seventh Heaven"** ---

Eddie. Being raised in a WB-preacher’s household is bound to take away your savage nature. Eddie’s just plain evil. **Han Solo or Indiana Jones**. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/game-which-would-win-in-a-fight/126682.md?page=2)
