The Better Than List

A. Coca-Cola is Better Than Pepsi.
B. McDonald's is Better Than Burger King.
C. Mr. Pibb is Better Than DrPepper.
D. Star Wars is Better Than Star Trek.
E. Elvis is Better Than The Beatles.
F. Buddy Holly is Better Than Elvis.
G. Bill Haley is Better Than Elvis.
H. L.A. Confidential is Better Than Chinatown.

I admit, on one or two of these...it's a pretty slim margin.

E. and F. are equally applicable to Elvis Costello.

G. is not.

I don't think Elvis was talented at all, but he was weird.

Elvis Costello is always impeccably dressed.

On C I must recuse. Apparently I must now work backwards since comments have finally, inexonerably, been forced. rjw: total agreement? You place yourself. At least Jul may just be young. As to the rest of your list:

A: depends what you are looking for.
B: fries definitely; burger no f ing way. (alternate category: Corporate faces i.e. Ronald or King)
D: Not even Kirk would challenge this reality. (William Tiberius Shatner might)
E: True.
F: False (would love to hear your position. Though.)
G: O; I get it now. Another of your snide {sorry I don't use "snarky"((don't believe it's a word))} comments. So this list is a joke? You weren't serious? Just toying with us again.
H: I can unequivocally guarantee the truth of and in this. This despite the fact I have never watched Chinatown in its entirety.

By the buy I have found, in my brief experience, that these "word" verifications are rarely (if ever) actual words!

This is pretty much the universal cry of our times.

I think I saw "inexonerably" on there once!

Oh, more seriously: I may kid around, but the list is no joke. Bill Haley is just better than Elvis. He just is.

Of course, I'm including not just his Rock and Roll second coming but all the C&Y (country & yodeling) he did prior.
