Blogpoll for Mr Music June 3, 2008
Posted by carpebanana in : Bananalets , trackbackEvery evening comes with that hour when things not important during the day become critical ~ in other words ~ the kids’ bedtime.
Mr Music is prone to having sudden onset of philosophical questions which urgently must be answered before any reasonable parent could possibly expect him to succumb to peaceful slumber.
Tonight his attempt started with, “Mom, you know that big green guy who is always smashing cars?” (I do a quick search of my memory banks, rule out the Jolly Green Giant, and move on to The Incredible Hulk, as I recall the preview we saw for some Hulk-type movie before Prince Caspian. We don’t do TV and Mr Music has limited exposure to movies, so that must be what he means.)
“The Incredible Hulk,” I say, (while remembering how cute I always thought Bill Bixby was ) (though moreso in The Courtship of Eddie’s Father) (and how I never could understand why, as the Hulk, his pants always split the way they did, instead of the way pants more usually split), then Mr Music hit me with his Really Big Question: “Who do you think would win if he fought King Kong?”
“The Hulk,” I blithely responded at which point Mr Music of course said, “Why?” and I regretted my answer as I realized I did not know enough about either of them to answer, having only the fuzziest notion of having seen Kong one time and that the effects seemed a bit, well, home-made, and really only assuming The Hulk was a Good Guy because, after all, he had been Eddie’s Father. So, being a Good Mom, I said, “Why don’t you ask your Dad in the morning?” and then, hoping to also be a Good Wife and Mom in one fell swoop, I said, “No, on second thought, I will put a poll on my blog. My readers will know.” Mr Music volunteered that The Hulk has trouble controlling his temper, which I seem to recall is true, but then I’m not sure how Kong compares.
So, please help us out. VOTE in the poll (top right, bright blue) and if you are kindly inclined, leave a comment to explain your reasoning. I appreciate it.

That thing with the pants always bothered me, too.
The hulk will win because he gets so incredibly focused when he is “on a tear,” and Kong gets distracted by blondes who scream annoyingly.
I ran this question past DH. He looked at me and said, like he was astounded I would ask something which was so obvious, and said, “The Hulk.”
So there you have it.
