Who Are The Big Three?

In My Humble Opinion
1

Contrary to Connor MacLeod’s (Murray Slaughter from “The Love Boat”- you know…) bold statement in Highlander, there’s gotta be three.

Winnie Churchill, Joe Stalin and Frank Roosevelt
Chevy, Ford and GM
Coke, Pepsi and RC
Burger King, McDonalds and Wendy’s
whips, chains and Jell-O
Curly, Larry and Moe
Curly’s replacements were also three… Shemp (who technically was “replaced” by Curly- don’t quibble), Joe Besser (who technically was not a “Stooge”- again: don’t qibble) and Joe DeRita
the “Charmed” girls
There has got to be three.

So who are the Big Three of the SDMB?
The obvious answer is:
Fenris, Scylla and ** Baby J of the Jar**
But are they? They are the Heirs Apparant to the Venerable WallyM7. (No disrespect intended, but I am a snot-nosed, punk kid who came in after the Wally Era.) But the whole Board?

Why not
Carina42, Jester and ** spooje**
or
Astroboy14, ** SPOOFE** and Eve?

Going by a certain obscure thread, it would have to be Bumbazine, Francesca and me.

There are so many choices. Who are your Big Three?

What about Phaedrus, man? What about Phaedrus?!

Fenris

FWIW,

is really only two. Chevy is part of GM. GM, Ford, and Chrysler would be the big 3 auto manufacturers (at least in the US).

Hibbins, you assume. To be fair, “GM” was wrong. It should have been “GMC”. To be less obscure, I should have listed it like this:

Chevy, Ford and GMC
all in another triplet: red, grey and white

(farm country pick-up trucks and their approved colors, if you wanna know)
-Rue.

Dang… and I was all set to reply with:

**Jack Daniels
Jim Beam
Jose Cuervo

I’m too relatively new to pick the Big Three of the Boards…

No one is too new *Skerri, that’s the beauty of the Boards.

Wow. A double post that took almost 20 minutes to pull off. You don’t see that everyday.

I’ve been here for awhile. Yes, I had a different screen name on AOL and on here before 2000. Anyway, I think the current big three would be…

  1. Handy

  2. Euty

  3. Hi Opal! Seriously, Opal.

10

But just as In’n Out is better than any of these three behemoths, there is, of course, one little-known doper whose posts are superior even to those of the big three. And that is, of course…

11

Nah. For sheer indecipherable gibberish, it’s gotta be Jally.

12

Nope. GMC and Chevy pickups are substantially the same trucks with slightly differing body styles and different name plates. The big three of farm pickups would be Chevy, Ford, and Dodge.
