Dave Barry and Barguments


When you google "Barguments,'' Dave Barry's blog pops up first most of the time. Not a bad thing. His post on my interview with him and his wife, Michelle Kaufman, got more than 50 comments from readers. (Don't get too excited: the photo above got 222 comments at last count.)

My favorite:

Bear v. Lion?
Depends on the bear. If we're talking a Grizzly, they weigh up
to 1800 lbs! They would just stomp a lion to death.
A Polar Bear would just
wait until the lion froze.
A Koala Bear would get its butt kicked by a lion,
that's pretty certain!
A Panda would cute the lion to death!
/THIS
QUESTION IS NOT SPECIFIC ENOUGH!

Here would have been a good Bargument to have posed to Dave: Who is the better Dave Barry, Dave Barry or Harry Anderson?

I think Dave takes that. He's been much more succesful at being Dave than Harry was for however long he lasted in prime time that season.

I have a small beef to grind with the lion/bear bargument. Lions do not live in "the jungle." They live in the open savannah. Some tigers however, do live in jungles, and I believe there have been sightings of tiger/bear brawls in Siberia. In that case, I'm going tiger because they're fucking huge. But bear kills individual lion.

How about bear vs. pack of hyenas?

Is someone dismissing the ORIGINAL bargument?! Lions must live in the jungle. They're the kings of the jungle. Disney said so.
Hyenas v. lion is brilliant. It will go on the site.

Here it is, once and for all: Tiger vs. Bear! Shield your eyes, ladies, and put the kids to bed. This one's gory:

Hyenas and lions confront each other all the time; I don't know who wins usually but every documentary ends with a lazy male lion waking up from a sex nap to snap the neck off the hyena queen.
