Okay, you may have heard me talk about how I am on this crazy email thread via my best friend Kristi. It's called (you guessed it): THE ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN (of ultimate destiny). It consists of over 654 match-ups between arbitrarily selected people/things vaguely connected to history and/or pop culture and arranged in about 23 rounds which will eventually lead to one final victor. Yes, somebody has too much time on their hands, but it's one of the most fun things I get in my inbox in any given week.
I thought this week's was particularly funny/interesting, and so I've decided to share. Here's what you do, 1) pick your winner for each match-up; 2) put the name(s) in CAPITAL LETTERS and a brief reason why you think they are the winner. The best part is that you get to choose the match-up scenarios! So maybe it's hand-to-hand combat, a battle of the wits, or it takes place on adjacent telephone poles. No matter what, YOU get to choose the winner!
This week's battles are:
Adolf Hitler vs. Lucy, Edmund, Peter, and Susan
Double Dragon vs. Minnie Mouse
Magnum P.I. vs. The Three Amigos
Aslan vs. Rod Farva
Pecos Bill vs. Will Ferrell
Tom Sawyer vs. Superman
Saddam Hussein vs. A Bear with indigestion
Scrooge MacDuck vs. Dr. Quinn (medicine woman)
Jackie Chan vs. Big Bad Wolf
The Invisible Man vs. Muhammad the Prophet
Miles Davis vs. Mad Max
Bruno the gay fashion guy vs. the Care Bears
Sean Connery (not as James Bond, who will be appearing in a later match-up) vs. Joseph Stalin
Little Red Riding Hood vs. Q (from James bond)
King Tut vs. Andrew Carnegie
E.T. vs. Mr. Burns and Smithers
C3P0 vs. Wilbur and Orville Wright (on a team)
Waldo... where is he? vs. Shrek and Donkey
8 kids playing D & D in a basement vs. Charles Darwin
Julius and Ethel Rosenburg vs. John Wayne

Here are my picks:
Adolf Hitler vs. Lucy, Edmund, Peter, and Susan-LUCY, EDMUND, PETER, and SUSAN because four unsupervised children could conquer the world in the time it took Adolf to give one speech.
Double Dragon vs. Minnie Mouse- MINNIE MOUSE, because if she can keep Mickey in check, what can't she do?
Magnum P.I. vs. The Three Amigos- THE THREE AMIGOS will win a hat contest any day of the week.
Aslan vs. Rod Farva- for some scary reason, I have the feeling ROD FARVA can get away with anyting.
Pecos Bill vs. Will Ferrell- PECOS BILL
Tom Sawyer vs. Superman- TOM SAWYER
Saddam Hussein vs. A Bear with indigestion- A BEAR WITH INDIGESTION would sniff out Sadaam.
Scrooge MacDuck vs. Dr. Quinn (medicine woman)- DR. QUINN could cure Scrooge.
Jackie Chan vs. Big Bad Wolf- JACKIE CHAN has all the right moves and could blow down house without puffing or steal a basket of granny's food without having to don her nightgown.
The Invisible Man vs. Muhammad the Prophet- THE INVISIBLE MAN, you can't see him to believe him.
Miles Davis vs. Mad Max- MAD MAX
Bruno the gay fashion guy vs. the Care Bears-BRUNO will have the Care Bears dancing to his tune.
Sean Connery (not as James Bond, who will be appearing in a later match-up) vs. Joseph Stalin-tough one, but I'm going to say STALIN
Little Red Riding Hood vs. Q (from James bond)- Q
King Tut vs. Andrew Carnegie-KING TUT
E.T. vs. Mr. Burns and Smithers-E.T. was willing to foot the bill for the phone call home.
C3P0 vs. Wilbur and Orville Wright (on a team)- NO one has the luck of C3PO.
Waldo... where is he? vs. Shrek and Donkey- SHREK and DONKEY could find Waldo in a heartbeat.
8 kids playing D & D in a basement vs. Charles Darwin- As long as they are unsupervised, 8 KIDS win anything they put their mind to.
Julius and Ethel Rosenburg vs. John Wayne- THE DUKE!
