Awesome first choice!! I always get booed on for that one, heh. I don’t care, I LIKE Ben’s jaw.
I love this list! You rock.
Also? That may have been my lamest comment ever…sorry! I really did mean it though.
This is suuuuch a fun post. I wanted to shout HURRAH! (not hooray) to some of them. Olympics >> Oscars! Somehow this list just made me incredibly happy. I don’t even know why.
I love your list! I pick Sex and the City over Cashmere Mafia
Matt over Ben.
Matt over Ben.
&
Matt.
over.
Ben.
josh lyman over my own husband… ;)
Again, being a Clinton girl I choose Hillary over Obama, but if Obama wins I won’t be sad/angry/disappointed because he can get’er done.
I choose:
So You Think You Can Dance over American Idol

Perrier over San Peligrino
I choose…
laptops over computers
bloglines over google reader
tea over coffee
nutella over peanut butter
hard pillows over soft pillows
:D
Wow, Ben over Matt eh? And Breakfast Club over Dirty Dancing? They might be a tie for me. Speaking of Patrick Swayze, am watching Ghost – right now – and I have to say I choose Top Gun over this one in terms of 90s era movie love scenes…
I was nodding with you until the french toast over french fries line.
I choose….
health over sickness
love over riches
cake over pretty much anything else
Leo DiCaprio over Leo Tolstoy
I love these gems that you come up with! This was a great post!
Can I quote you on that “sense of humor over sense of style”? On every date I go on? Just ‘askin…
And for me: the trail over the wii. Every time.
oooh great post idea! jk rowling – with you on that one! and so many others. i may just have to yoink this one and save it for a rainy day!!
hockey over Football and Elektra over JLo ?!?!?!? that’s just plain crazy…
Ok amazing list:
Nsync over backstreet boys- if it even matters anymore
little spoons over big spoons
fast over slow
action over contemplation
vanilla over chocolate
too hot over too cold
you’ve totally inspired a post for me this week. oh, and i’ll share the first “choice” that popped into my head: the rockstar over the asshat.
…and that is set. in. stone. ;)
also- this post was all kinds of awesomeness. well done lady. heart you.
The Breakfast Club over Dirty Dancing?!?!?!
?!?!!!!!!?
??!!!!!!!!!!!
Molly Ringwald over a young, hot Patrick Swayze????
I choose Tina Fey over Heidi Klum
I choose steak over chicken
I choose living over what-if’ing
I choose Sinatra over Shakira – though his hips weren’t as nice.
Anne- I definitely agree
Miss Pickle- Go ahead! I can’t wait to see yours
Elisabeth- That was one that I went back and forth on. But then I just succumbed to the truth- Harry will always mean more to me than Frodo.
littlespoon- Sigh. I’m almost glad that he’s not running for President. I think he will get more done NOT in office.
PE- Good addition!
Kathryn- I definitely agree with these! Martin over Charlie and Emilo for sure! Oh, and The Hills over Laguna. When is that show coming back?!
Jamie- Sleeping Beauty? I honestly have to say that I ‘ve only watched that movie once. I need to rent!
Armie- I was thinking you would have issue with the ‘dog over cat’ one. And Dr. Pepper- my brother raves about it. I don’t think I’ve ever had one. He went to Oklahoma for school and he said everyone there drinks Dr. Pepper. Perhaps I should give it a try.
Tiff- Nectarines over peaches. I totally agree. In fact, I would have to say, pretty much any fruit over peaches. And kiwis. I don’t like fruit with fur.
Jess- Ellipitcal over treadmill- I agree with that one. It seems like there’s more to do- it’s definitely more entertaining.
Nicole- Ha! I thought you would like that Josh Lyman one. And also, I am going to go with you on the free stuff one. I would rather get something for free as well.
Michelle- Procrastination? i’m down with that.
Larissa- OBAMA’ers unite!
Ally- Physicians assistant over physician is one that I can 100% agree with. They never seem as rushed and I always feel more comfortable asking them stuff than the doctor.
Sizzle- Flats over heels. I’m there too. Although lately I wish I love high, high heels more. 5″2 girls need heels sometimes. And extra points for using the word ‘debauchery’.
Ashley- I’m definitely more of a pub person too. I like the food better. I mean, I like the atmosphere better. :) And I’m glad there’s another OBAMA’er out there.
Evans- Your second one is my favourite. And as for Paul and Heather- I think I might be the only one who is on the fence with this. I don’t get why everyone hates her so much. Is it because she’s hurting the heart of a Beatle?
Mcgee- Yep, I definitely agree!
Maggie- Oh thanks!
Zosia- Yep, the free stuff one Nicole thought of is pretty great. And I’m with you on the education over ignorance. Evans (a couple comments above) wrote a great post on how so many celebrities get attention by not being smart. It was definitely a great read.
Ana- Reading the word ‘yawn’ made me yawn. Man, my brain is so easily tricked.
Distracted Spunk- I’m sorry your brain is fried, and thanks for the the compliment!
Kari- Isn’t rootbeer just the greatest thing?
Diane Mandy- Red over white- yep! I’m definitely there. I find white wine too dry. It’s like drinking… a carpet.
AP- Thanks!
Poodlegoose- Yeah, I found that I enjoyed the ‘later’ Disney characters more than the earlier ones. It seemed the later female characters were a bit more spunky and stood up for themselves. Man. That would be an excellent research topic. Also, thanks for your get well wishes.
POTU- Really? Really?? But it’s BEN!!
Sanyukta- Handwritten letters over email. I’m working on that one. And thanks for giving me your primary address. I will check it out!
Semichrmd- I’m with you- I think Ben is underrated too. But I have to say, I love him more for his political awareness rather than his acting/directing. And because, you know, he always looks so darn cute with his kid. Matt’s head is a weird shape for me and I can’t get over it.
Cheryl- I’m with you on every single one of yours!
Emma- I know. And I like Ben’s hair. And his smile. Okay, I like Ben’s everything.
Tori- lol, don’t worry I didn’t think your comment was lame at all. Sometimes I say something very similar in my comments to people and (like you) I mean it.
Lisa- Aww thanks! I just find the Olympics so much more… consuming. I like looking at the dresses during the Oscars, and the speeches from people who didn’t expect to win, but the Olympics? C’mon- they are BRILLIANT!
1218Blog- Me too- although I have to say I’m enjoying Cashmere Mafia more than I thought I would.
Julie Q- But… what do you REALLY think? ;)
Olivia- Ha! That Josh just has a quality about him doesn’t he??
Carrie- Hockey over figure skating. That’s one that I’m with you on too. Maybe it’s the Canadian in us?? Although figure skating is pretty Canadian too. Maybe it’s that hockey has more attractive men? Or that there’s a chance blood will be spilled?
Alyndabear- I never got on board with bloglines. I tried it but I found google reader easier to use. And you know, I just like saying the word ‘google’ so that might be a part of it. ;)
HippieChyck- Oh really?! I have to say that scene in Ghost at the pottery wheel is one of the most standout scenes for me in regards to 90′s cinema. It may or may not be the reason I seriously considered becoming a pottery expert in my youth.
Katie- Would you chose cake over cupcakes though?
Airam- Thanks friend!
Geekhiker- I need to get on board with the wii. As for the trails, I’m thinking I would enjoy them more if it wasn’t currently -41 degrees outside.
Libby- It’s a perfect rainy day post. Or, a perfect post to do when it’s freezing cold out and you are far too depressed to write about anything else.
TeacherDad- Hockey over football. I’m Canadian. The last time Football was even remotely exciting for me was when I first saw Tom Brady and fell in love.
Chelsea- It’s funny, I contemplated the Nsync/Backstreet boys one too! I decided on Nsync, then I thought, Nsync vs. Justin solo. And Justin solo won. And that sort of made me sad.
BloggingBarbie- I definitely think that’s a good choice.
SWF42- No, it’s more like, a young, carefree Emilo over a greasy Patrick. :)
MC- Tina Fey! She won a SAG last night too. Man, she’s all sorts of awesome.
So are you, Bran!!!
Vanilla over chocolate.
Fries over salad (at least that’s what I want to do)
Barefeet over socks.
animals over people
flip flops over heals
love over lust
black over white
