Once upon a time the ever-entertaining and lovely Kyla inspired the list-maker in me. Not that the list-maker in me needs any encouragement, mind you, but greater than/less than was one of my few favorite math-related lessons, so I figured I pretty much had to make a greater than/less than list. The game is simple. Mostly because it’s not really a game. It’s greater than/less than! Which, I already mentioned. Fridays are for rambling, right? (Right!)
So I’ll start, and then you can feel free to leave your greater than/less than versions in the comments, or on your own site, or on a paper napkin in a coffee shop written in cappuccino foam (rules: there are none!).
Ready? OK!
For this girl:
seaweed, rice & eggs > bacon, hash-browns & eggs (I KNOW. I’m blaspheming from the very beginning of this list, but South Korea, and my sister, converted me.)
green > grey
hugs > handshakes
drive-ins > movies in 3-D
Twitter > Tumblr
pine trees > palm trees
optimism > any other “ism”
coastal > lakeside, unless we’re talking about Priest Lake, in which case: Priest Lake > all other bodies of water
no capes > capes
letting it go > holding grudges
interest in watching or talking about golf > interest in watching or talking about baseball
peas > carrots
spring > summer
hand-written letters > email
swimming > cycling
fiction > non-fiction
genuine compliments > genuine criticism
heart on my sleeve > keeping it inside

hiking > climbing
steamed veggies > raw veggies
George Michael > Michael Bolton
puns > snark
Portland food carts > my best packed lunch

————-
Your turn!
Amen. Priest Lake > any other body of water.
For me:
white > tan
tv on dvd > tv on tv
being emotional > having a stone heart
Edward > Jacob
following your dreams > settling for what everyone expects of you
———–
I love that we both know and love that place. Priest Lake wins, ALWAYS. And I almost listed Edward and Jacob, too, though mine would have been a reversal of yours. ;)
You just make me smile.
smiles > tears
hot sandwiches > cold sandwiches
coke > pepsi
dogs > cats
baby laughs > anyone else’s laughs
espresso > drip coffee
sisters > anything
broccoli > cauliflower
———
sisters > anything
I verily agree! And I love broccoli and cauliflower in equal amounts. In fact, I rarely eat one without the other. (Steamed, of course!)
Putting Baby in the corner. HEE HEE.
water > soda
sushi > pizza
train > airplane
laughter > crying
holding hands > arm around the shoulder
dark chocolate > any other chocolate
asparagus > artichokes
green > blue
———
Yes! to dark chocolate and trains, and water! (Boo you, soda!)
And I love that you would choose sushi over pizza. Reason #423 why you are awesome, and so uniquely you.
I super heart lists.
Isobel > All other babies
Suggling > Spooning
Nose ring > belly button ring
California > Other states
——
Oooh, yes! to nose rings being greater than belly button rings. Sometimes I forget how much I love mine.
Scrabble > Words With Friends
gMail > Hotmail
Nachos > Pizza
Graham, Nathan and Emily > Any other kids on the planet
Kerri Anne > Any other Kerri on the planet
——-
Awwwh! The huge grin on my face right now is totally courtesy of your list.
This was awesome! The baby in the corner one made me laugh!
Venn diagrams > pie charts
Glee soundtrack > Kidz Bop
Community > The Office
Chicago-style deep dish pizza > any other pizza
Damon > Stefan
———–
I just shouted “Yes!” in my head to ALL of these, save for Chicago-style deep dish, because (gasp!) I have never eaten it. I’m thinking that needs to be remedied, posthaste.
And did I tell you I totally had a dream about Puck who then at some point turned into Damon? BEST DREAM EVER.
Spike > Angel = A Freakin’ Men.
Here are a few of mine:
W00tstock > Rent (the musical, though it could work equally as well for having to pay it)
Jen Lancaster > Chelsea Handler
Caffeinated Pepsi > any other beverage (not healthy I know but… I just can’t quit you Pepsi!)
Baby-Sitters Club > Anything Sweet Valley
Lost > Heroes
Ducks > Geese

I love this idea! Okay let me see…

Jem > Hannah Montana
I am totally stealing this because you and this are both ridiculously awesome.
that being said…sarcasm is one of the best thing on the planet. maybe, possibly better than puns for me. Also, as much as I like reading….there is little better than LOST for me right now.
hahaha! Love the LOST one and the Spike>Angel one! :)
