Well now, I know David Cameron isn't the best, but isn't that a little drastic?

I've sat out this round up 'til now because I haven't a clue who the winner ought to be. But watch me take a stab anyway. So it's like this; Minotops missiles are only good in the opening seconds of the round. After that it's close combat with Boris when the missiles might still be a good idea, but ...

Was that Ennio Morricone I heard when the cowboy entered at the end, or was it a pod-safe imitation? If that was imitation, it was awesome.

But heck'darn'jeepers likability is not the deciding factor of Death Match! Mongoose is tiny - squishably so! And these opponents don't have readily apparent baby chutes what with to be trespassed through! Blargh. Vote with your callused, dog fighting hearts, not your soft, dog owning hearts. Cute'...

Save the dad-play for the podcast.

I've been voting Mongoose #1 or #2 throughout, but I gotta say it's the most unenthusiastic vote I've made thus far. If Mongoose makes it into the competition, then she's the obvious winner of this round. After that she's got Duck's temperment and maybe some Merfolk tech or a bag of Uncle Smarmy's t...

Boris went directly after Tommy simply because he's the bigger target. Lamb Chops did likewise figuring the longer Tommy's in the fight, the more debilitating his spewing miasma becomes. After planting a few weapons into Tommy's hide, Lamb Chops was no longer armed to the teeth when Boris turned his...

Boris is immune to BMW's poisons. I think immunity is an overstatement. I imagine Boris having something of a tolerance. Still, while I'm pulling for the Worm, I like Boris also. Basically, I'm against Lamb Chops. While other folks are stuck on Street Fighter I'm thinking 1990's pre-weight class UF...

What are you saying? The terrorists haven't won? Obamacare Death Panels aren't setting up shop in FEMA trailer park/concentration camps? Women will still talk to me when gays can marry?

It really depends on how wormlike he is too. I mean, a real life worm can be cut in half and still live through it. Can Meth Worm live through that kind of mangling too? Good question. If that's the case, then that in conjunction with what Bo has pointed out (no eyes to poke out, and he's a tunnele...

I'm concerned about Lamb Chops size from the defensive angle. Can he take a hit? If he's limping after Boris or the Worm land a lucky blow, his agility is lessened and he's likely to get hit again. Lamb Chops essentially has to have a perfect round evading every single attack. Before he's taken out ...

Yeah, but I haven't heard of David vs. Goliath vs. Leviathan.

OK, but let's look at something: Georgia - population 4,200,000 Russia - population 150,000,000 Georgia - GNI - $2,400 Russia - GNI $9,600 All true. I was just dusting off an ol' Music Man sales tactic. Y'know, poolhall starts with P and that rhymes with T and that spells trouble. Okay, so Lamb Cho...

I was pulling for Uzicorn myself You have excellent taste. I agree that Bo has once again put the mega in "mega-beast." Oh, how I longed to see Uzicorn illustrated. Alas.... Anyway, I'm with the general consensus thus far that Boris takes this round easily, though my heart is with BMW. Everyone's r...

Would people have voted for a monster that was "half minotaur, half jungle bunny, his primitive African drumbeats giving him power"? People making jokes about "retard strength" and so on just makes me sad. The analogy doesn't hold. To replace mental retardation with race would be like making a Mino...

Sweeeeet! Give it up for the Beast from Greece. The Attican that'll smash your head in. The Divine Bovine. The Olympian Engine of Udder Destruction. The Colossus from the Bosporus. The Reavin' Theban.

Give it up for the Cow!

If you're talking about the brains pulled out through the nose sort of embalming (at range), I'd soooo switch sides. Alas, it's moot now.

tbaker2500 wrote:You know, scratch that. It don't matter. Whoever loses this round is losing to Mongoose anyway.

Oh, man! I forgot about Mongoose. I love the 'Taurd, but I don't think he's up to that challenge even with rocket launchers and <snicker> dust devils.

My commute is an hour and fifteen minutes one way, so I've got lots of time for podcasts. These here are the ones other than Drabblecast that I look forward to the most every week. H.P. Lovecraft Literary Podcast (required listening for fans of the man from Providence) The Moth (true stories told on...

The biggest reason I think Scar would win is because he's the only opponent I've heard that could actually strategize. Did the Incredible Hulk need strategy? Was that strategy Mike Ditka was using when he gave the Fridge the football to score a gratuitous touchdown in the '86 Superbowl? Did the Fre...
