In My Humble Opinion, I am absolutely convinced that there will NEVER be a better (X) than (X)

There will never be a better cheap whiskey than old crow.

There will never be a better film/producer comedian than Mel Brooks.

There will never be a more prolific point scorer in the NHL than Wayne Gretzky. Sure, records can be broken, but Wayne’s total will never be broken, ever. Guaranteed.

I’m substituting “greater” for “better” because “greater” is better.

I’m stealing Johnny Carson. Considering stealing global warming.

Also:

There will never be a greater sports hero than Bobby Orr.

Gotta agree with this. Who else, in any sport, has their number (99) not only retired for his/her team, but for the whole league?

Jackie Robinson.

…a better boxer than Muhammad Ali
…a better grater than Microplane
…a better mixer than KitchenAid
…a better wife than mine
…better biscuits than I make

Agree with your list, except for your last item, which you got embarrassingly wrong.

The delicious homemade biscuits & gravy I’m currently spooning into my mouth is my cite.

…gotta admit, your wife is the best, however. :slight_smile:

There will never be a better cat than the cat who’s next to my elbow right now.
– or the one over there in the sun on the desk. Or the first cat I ever lived with, when I was an infant. Or the first cat I lived with after I left home. Or . . . (I could go on for quite a while.)

Never be a better domesticated animal than the cow.

Never be a better mechanical invention than the wheel.

Never be a better chemical reaction harnessed than fire.

Never be a better naturally occurring chemical compound than H2O.

Never be a more useful communication tool than writing.

Old time hockey, eh? Like Eddie Shore?

A better meat cleaver than those made by William Beatty and never a better touchmark than his.

for .357 substitute the Model 19

for .45LC substitute the model 25-5

My gravy is so spectacularly delicious that it can only be eaten once a year. More than that would result in instant cardiac arrest. Most people who taste it decide to just end things, as everything that would follow would pale in comparison and be a crushing disappointment. My biscuits are so light and fluffy that they are often mistaken for clouds; if it wasn’t for the gravy weighting them down, they would indeed float to the ceiling.

Thanks about my wife. . .heyyyyyy, wait a damn minute!
