Gotta go with Lois. One reason: “_. . . and J. Geils_”. Yowza. ---

I’m sticking with Marge. Lois is much more mentally unstable. ---

Marge has a smokin bod under that green dress and blue hair. ---

Lois, but I’d make sure to keep plenty of paper towels around. I hear she’s a real bitch when she runs out of paper towels. Man, did you see her singing in the basement? Rwrrrr. Nice hooters. ---

After all, it does occur in the episode that she’s singing in the basement bar. ---

So…, you don’t mind being used like a puppet. Coool! _he then begins to dasgupta in all kinds of uncofortable poses, like a human statue._ ---

I gotta go for Lois, definitely Lois. Mmmmm, melons… Besides, with Marge I would constantly be thinking “yellow=jaundice” or something like that. ---

Lois. Definitely Lois. I find Marge’s personality to be almost completely unlikable recently. ---

Lois is funnier. In their current states, I think Lois is hotter (such as cartoon characters can be…) Marge with her hair up never did it for me. ---

Lois. To be honest I din’t even know who she was until I googled her:( Since I know who Marge is and after all these years the mystery would be gone…it would have to be Lois. Just think about it…perfect chance to dig out the superman costume…wink wink My Blog _[Don’t laugh so hard, it may be funny but it’s also my life](http://luckiestguy.blogspot.com/)_ Lucky ---

“Lose Louis” prefers Batman to superman. You know, DarkSideoftheFloyd, that probably applies to Catwoman. You could Be Eartha Kitt, and she could be Julie Newman, if you felt like that kinda thing. p.s. I sent out the response before last to soon. The fight I was referencing can be seen in action figure fashion at [http://photos.figures.com/photo/1/showphoto.php?photo=21657&cat=2269&page=1](http://photos.figures.com/photo/1/showphoto.php?photo=21657&cat=2269&page=1) and [http://photos.figures.com/photo/1/showphoto.php?photo=21659&cat=2269&page=1](http://photos.figures.com/photo/1/showphoto.php?photo=21659&cat=2269&page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/marge-simpson-or-lois-griffin/290557.md?page=2)
