The idea of this game is to declare that something is greater than something else. For example, that Coke >> Pepsi, or Natural grass >> Astroturf.
Here is how it works:
1. Respond/refute/support the person's claim above you
2. Make your own claim
I will start things off with my own claim
Stevie Ray Vaughan >> Eric Clapton (and it's not even close)
I agree with you, but its close.
The Incredible Hulk > Hulk

Agree. In fact, I recently threw away my only pair of sneakers because they sat on my front patio collecting cobwebs and becoming disgusting while I wore sandals.
49 other states > Delaware

I refute this claim since Crazy O is one of the best posters on the OH. He is a UD man and I can't live w/o his posts! Since his college home is Delaware and since Newark is a nice town, I believe DE > ND, for one example.
Christina Scabbia (http://www.forum.orioleshangout.com/forums/member.php?u=116) > Madonna

I guess I can't really argue. I like Clapton as much for his singing voice as his guitar. But in a show of respect to those who came before, I will amend the sentence thusly:
SRV > (Clapton = God)

I presented this in the opening post, so of course I agree. As a guitarist, I have always thought that Clapton, while very talented, never showed me anything in live settings that made me say "wow". Call up any SRV live show on YouTube, or watch his Austin City Limits performance, and you say "Holy Shetola" every time.

Is there even room for argument? I thought this was pretty much common knowledge.

That's what I try to tell them, but they just don't see it. And yes, hot weather is better than cold weather.

Without a doubt. No contest.

Absolutely.

As much as I love a good pitching duel, I think a high scoring affair provides more excitement.

I'm not sure if I'm describing it correctly, but I always felt as if winter seasonals were more... I don't know... girlish. Oktoberfest beers seem to have more of a many bite to them.
Here's one...

While some would consider this blasphemy, and pick you up and throw you into the bay, I think it depends on whether you saw the movies first or read the novels first. I fall into the first category, so I will agree with you.

Disagree. Ginger Baker, Keith Moon and perhaps a few others who escape me at present. I do agree that he is a very good drummer, but not the best. Although, he might be better than any drummer who NEVER lived.
