I would rather _________ than ________.

I would rather the American Men’s Hockey team beat Canada’s team in the gold medal match than have the Detroit Red Wings win the Stanley Cup.

That means something for Detroit folk.

I would rather see the Phantom Menace again than sit through Underworld again.

I would rather drink one cup of vinegar than drink Bai Zhou again.

Please continue, fellow Dopers…

I would rather not continue this thread than fill the SDMB database with pointless topics.

…oops! :smack:

:stuck_out_tongue:

I would rather be forty than pregnant.

(Disclaimer: I saw a book with that title, so it’s not mine. And I’m over 40 now, so it’s not like it would be a sacrifice. But substitute any age older than my current one, and it still works for me.)
