Thursday Thirteen 21 -- You can only LOVE one each


Thirteen Either/Ors that
THE GAL HERSELF
has definite feelings about


In Pulp Fiction, Mia (Uma Thurman) opines that when it comes to Elvis and the Beatles, you can like them both, but the odds are that you only LOVE one of them. When last week, Mo asked if my iPod playlist included Dean Martin in addition to Sinatra, I realized that was a similar situation. You can like them both, but you can only LOVE one of them. And so here's where I come down on 13 important “either/or’s.”

1…. Beatles or Elvis?
I respect the King, but I LOVE the Lads.

2. Frank Sinatra or Dean Martin?
It’s Frank’s world. Still.

3. Katharine Hepburn or Audrey Hepburn?
The Great Kate

4. Chicago Cubs or White Sox?
Let’s see … I have no visible tattoos and don’t drink beer at breakfast. That obviously makes me a Cub fan.

5. Thin crust or deep dish?
Thin crust

6. Cats or dogs?
Dogs make fine pets, but I simply must cohabit with at least one cat at all times

7. Turkey or ham?
If it’s not turkey, it’s not a holiday meal

8. Coke or Pepsi?
Coke

9. City or country?
City

10. Angelina or Jen?
I’m strictly Team Aniston.

11. Today or GMA?
Today

12. Sandals or flip-flops?
Sandals

13. Mac or PC?
Mac

Extras: My male friends assure me that no list like this is complete without ...

Ginger or Mary Ann?
Boxers or briefs?
Beil or Alba?

Together again!

Michael Barrett, my beloved's Cubs battery mate, has been traded to the Padres. Which means Barrett and Maddux will be together again.

I'm sorry to see Barrett go, but I understand the reasoning. After the unfortunate dugout/lockerroom fight with Zambrano, either Barrett or Zambrano had to be traded … fast. Zambrano is worth more and comes with a bigger price tag, and it's possible no team offered us enough to give up our (gulp!) best pitcher.

And if Barrett had to go, I'm glad he's reunited with my beloved future Hall of Famer. "Reunited and it feels so good ..."
