Here it is, the first elimination round of the Mr/Ms Influence competition! Each day this week I'll post two head-to-heads (staggered to avoid forum spam), and they'll close two days later.
This poll will run until Saturday evening.
Good luck!

If you're making beer into a meal, YOU'RE doing it wrong. Beer is great, but does best paired with certain foods depending on the flavor profile. Not just any food works with any beer.
It's like this: Kate Beckinsale is hot. Kate Beckinsale in leather is much better.
Beer + food just kicks it up a notch.
In this case: Russel is good. DV is good.
Them together?
Still FAR less sexy than Ms Beckinsale in leather.

I only do one or the other.
I drink before eating. I drink whatever the hell I want until I reach my desired level of intoxication.
Then I eat whatever the hell I want, and only drink water while doing so.
Had to learn to do things that way the hard way too many times.

Wow. Tough draw... Just in case it influences your vote, I confirm that I also look great in leather and have a much more competitive rate than Mrs Beckinsale... I'm going on a trek for 2 weeks, so I'll be offline for a while. I'll read your posts responses after  Congrats Russel! |

Then I eat whatever the hell I want, and only drink water while doing so. Had to learn to do things that way the hard way too many times. When I was drinking I would do both excessively. People would ask me, "Whats your favorite drink?". My reply was always, "Anything that's too thin to chew." Now I just eat a lot. And if I start craving a drink, pie usually helps till I forget about it. But yes, this is like going to a smokehouse and choosing between the ribs or the brisket.. |

Best illustration for an explanation I've ever read.

I don't know if these pics help or hurt the point, I mean she looks fantastic in both and both have advantages. But damnit, I'm going to keep studying the two pics until I come to a satifying end result!  |

P.s. holy crap is it impossible to find a not hot photo of Kate Beckinsale. That is one photogenic human being! So, at the risk of further derailing the thread, I have a Kate story. Years ago my wife and I were on some trip somewhere and walked into our hotel room for the first time. My wife wanted to go clean up some from our travels so I turned on the tv to flip through the channels looking for something to kill time with. I came across some awards show and our lovely miss Kate paced across the stage in a slinky skin-tight white dress. Now, even at that time in my life, I'd been with my wife long enough and around the block enough times to know what you do and don't say around a woman you're interested in. So I'm careful with that sort of thing. With her in the bathroom, though, I unwittingly let my guard down and grunted out, "Oooh!" Just in time for my wife to come out of the bathroom and see what I was excited about. Oops.  Years later, we're still married and I have suffered no permanent wife-inflicted injuries since then. |

Kate's lying in wait for me!!! I only hope she has that dress on. And here my wife thinks my second wife (if she dies before me) will be so I can get Asian cuisine for free...... |

I actually don't like being put into the same voting round with you :\ Always wanted to get into some bloody fight with a person I don't quite respect, but oh well.. So this round is more like a friends brawl in a bar that a brutal streetfight to me :-D |
