Number One. I'm partial to brunettes.

Exotic Space Ladies:

Gamora (GotG) vs. Zhaan (Farscape)

Challenge Manchester United to a home-and-home. American football rules in the USA, association football rules in the UK.

Invisible Agent vs. Invisible Woman

I never saw either one of them.

Sneaky Sneaky:

Invisibility vs. Teleportation

Red, the blood of angry men. Black, the dark of ages past.

Makes sense to me.

Sleepy 

Wow, that sounds . . . exceptionally unpleasant.

So the team from Georgia, clad in red and black, choked away a big second-half lead to a team almost universally hated except among its die-hard fans, and now we have to spend the next year hearing about how the winning team and its coach are the greatest of all time.

Where have I heard this one before....?

Always keep an edge on your knife.

TV On the Radio:

WKRP in Cincinnati vs. News Radio

Mars:

 

Red planet or candy?

Red planet, because it inspired the greatest piece of music ever written in 5/4 time (with the possible exception of the work of one Paul Desmond).*

Interplanetary Mayhem:

Mars vs. Venus

--

* "Mars, the Bringer of War" from Gustav Holst's orchestral suite The Planets and "Take Five" by the Dave Brubeck Quartet, respectively.

Dammit, Georgia, you had one job!

The difference, of course, is that fighting in hockey is highly structured and regulated, with many written and unwritten rules that are universally understood and strictly enforced.

Nothing like that exists in the NFL.

"My name is Luke Skywalker. I'm here to rescue you."?  

Somebody had better.

I'm really struggling to resist the urge to quote Luke Skywalker on the final exams I'm grading this evening.

One of the computers I learned to program on was an Apple IIe.* Fond memories....

Potent Combustibles:

Nitrocellulose (guncotton) vs. Samsung cell phone batteries

Sad that it seems like the glory days in retrospect.

The reanimated corpse of Kim Jong Il.

Burrito, because we don't have a board member named 'Taco Boy' (even if he is a Chargers and Red Wings fan).

Which Is More Fun Tonight?

Watching the $EC National Championship game vs. Grading 200+ final exams

So to speak.

I'm not sure 'sweet' is one of the most common words my students would use in describing me.
