Wherein every post is a Taking Sides, possibly with a little bit of an argument, such as

TS The Lollipop Guild vs The Lullaby League

The Lollilop Guild were the very embodiment of the bawdy good-natured fun that was so much of Munchkin culture, whereas the Lullaby League where just a bunch of kiss-ups to the goody-two-shoes North/South Witch Axis so I say the LGs by a mile.

TS Ben Gazzara vs. Che Guevara

TS Kenji Fukui vs. Alton Brown

As Iron Chef play-by-play commentators go, I like not having to be translated from Japanese to be understood, but Brown does like to show off his knowledge a little too much and Fukui-san has that winning self-deprecation. TOSSUP.

elephantiasis, Jeremy. Elephantitus is when you experience a constant ringing in your huge balls, I think.

Patient: "Yeah, so Doc, you're not gonna believe this but I hear a ringing in my..."
