"Hello. This is Joan Rivers from fantastic Las Vegas reporting for E! We're here covering the fabulous opening of the only new casino dedicated to the King and I don't mean Charles. Can we talk? Of course, I mean Elvis Presley who is forever memorialized here at the Graceland Casino and Feedbag. For all of you who just tuned in, you missed a wonderful duet of 'Jailhouse Rock' by Strip Icon Wayne Newton and former Presley family member Michael Jackson. Jacko came out in a new gorgeous Armani silk and diamond-encrusted surgical mask - the pinnacle of fashion for the physically or mentally ill. But now, we come to the grand finale which has been promised to be a 'Really Big' event. OH! OH! Here's the announcer! Let's listen:"

"Ladies and gentlemen, here's what you've all been waiting for. We have gone to great lengths to bring you a spectacle that personifies Elvis: the music, the celebrity, the food, the drugs and the unsightly fat. And so we bring you Celebrity Elvis Sumo Mud Wrestling!" The star-studded crowd goes wild. "For this epic battle, the ring has been filled not with mud but with a special Elvis Stew made from the King's favorite foods: pig ears, Jello, peanut butter, bananas and amphetamines. The winner of this match will be given perpetual free rights to the Blue Suede All-You-Can-Eat Buffet. No expense has been spared!"

"In this corner, weighing over 250 pounds from Greenwich, Connecticut, the most annoying talk show host in the known universe and all around busy body, ROSIE O'DONNELL." Rosie waddles into the ring wearing a Tom Cruise bathrobe, perkily talking to the audience non-stop with a megaphone.

"And in this corner, weighing over 300 pounds, originally from the mean streets of Salt Lake City, the original domestic goddess, ROSEANNE!" She is carried to the ring in a forklift wearing a bikini and a barrel of Ultra Slim Fast.

So which fatass femme fatale will flatten her foe?

PAUL: In honor of the holiday season and the start of a new millennium full of hope and peace, let me be the first to say something nice about out contestants and bring civility to the WWWF...

(crickets)

O (censored) THIS! Roseanne the Fatty is going to squash Rosie with her Buttcheeks of Death™!

Make no mistake about it. Roseanne is ENORMOUS. Her fat has fat. Parts of her body have been declared off limits to logging to protect endangered species. NASA is planning an emergency mission to free Fiona Apple from Roseanne's orbit. Her flatulence has been categorized as a greenhouse gas by the United Nations. She recently was forced to undergo weight reduction therapy before she swallowed the Earth. Rosie is Calista Flockhart compared to Roseanne. And her recent dieting is just going to make her more hungry and desperate. Rosie will be lucky if she isn't eaten and crapped out before the opening bell.

If that was not enough, Roseanne has the all-important nudity advantage. When women wrestle in the mud, clothing gets ripped and private parts get revealed. While either of them baring all would be enough to induce vomiting, Roseanne is preferable. Why? Because she has already appeared naked! Yes, she bared all for Gear Magazine. Trust me. It was either Roseanne or the lovechild of the Brothers Grunt and a swollen hippopotamus. So why should this be an advantage? Because we can still stop Rosie from revealing more than we ever wanted to see. The anticipation of breasts is worse than the breasts themselves. Rosie will be taken down by the crowd, forever entombing her acres of flesh in Elvis stew.

A Rosie by any other name would be just as dead.

JOE: Jeez, Paul, I don't know what happened to you as a child but I gotta tell you, if any normal person were to be wandering around the newsstand and happen to glance at a magazine that says, "Roseanne gets Naked", they don't pick it up and sneak a peak inside. Hypothetical train wreck or not, that's just wrong. Please tell me you don't have a poster of that.

Now, I can deal with all the fat jokes and the images of Roseanne baring it all (shudder), but viciously attacking the sweet and lovable Rosie by comparing her to quite possibly the lowest form of life is inexcusable. Calista Flockhart is about seven levels down the food chain from Rosie O'Donnell.

But onto the real issue, here. The fact is, no matter how annoying Roseanne is, she's too weak to even have a chance of winning. Rosie was born in Long Island and grew up on the mean streets of New York City. Roseanne: Salt Lake City. Yeah, it's gotta be tough beating up on Mormons. Also, Rosie is much smarter. She actually finished high school and attended college, which is more than I can say for the Absolutely Flabbulous Roseanne.

Let's face it, Rosie is cunning, strong and she's gonna put the biggest body slam smackdown on Roseanne this world has ever seen!

PAUL: Hey, don't knock the poster. I haven't had any cockroaches in months.

And since when has Rosie O'Donnell been "sweet"? She invited Tom Selleck on her show to promote a movie and then ambushed him about his NRA membership. She tried to censor a song from the classic musical Annie Get Your Gun. She threatened to quit her show if they did not allow her to air Barbara Streisand's political rant and then quit the show anyway. She is an irritating whining wench that alienates everyone. This is not smart when she needs all the help she can get going up against Mount Subcutaneous. Who would want to help Rosie? Babs? Even if she has not already taken the first boat to France with Alec Baldwin, Yentl is no match for the fifteen midget wrestlers that Roseanne has hidden in her infinite folds of blubber.

And you want tough? Roseanne had sexual relations with TOM ARNOLD! If she could tolerate Mr. Stupid for five years, what could Rosie possibly do to hurt her? Roseanne even gets the RAGE™ advantage!

At least Rosie will lose the excess pounds. The Death Diet™ works wonders.

JOE: Rosie isn't whiny, she's POLITICAL. This denotes intelligence. People come on her show to talk to her about whatever, not just their movies, so it's not like she "ambushed" Tom Selleck, she just tried to ask him a serious question instead of the normal boring crap the all talk show hosts do... which reminds me, how long was Roseanne's show on the air? Did it even make it through a full episode? That sounds to me like an "irritating whining wench that alienates everyone," not just standing up for what you believe in, like Ms. O'Donnell.

Rosie does not need any help to kick Roseanne's ass. Roseanne can bring all two of her friends to the fight if she wants to on the off chance that anyone else can even fit into the ring. Rosie's gonna kick their ass anyway. You think sleeping with Tom Arnold makes her tough. To me that just screams "personality disorder." Having low enough self esteem to screw Tom Arnold is about as low as you can go.

These arguments are a moot point however, due to one distinct advantage given to Rosie in this scenario. Roseanne is a pig, and they are wrestling in Elvis Stew. The moment Roseannasaurus Rex enters the ring she's going straight to the mat to fill up on good Ol' Fashioned Home Cookin'. She'll be laying on the ground squirming in the goo, lapping up banana chunks. All Rosie is gonna have to do to win this one is climb up the mountain of flab and sit on her until the count of three.

One... Two... Queen of the Ring: Rosie, bay-be!

Thanks to the many people that suggested this match.

RESPONSE OF THE WEEK GRUDGIETM

While I find Rosie O'Donnell a bit less obnoxious than Roseann and it might be nice to see her win, that's not what is going to happen. This match will be decided by the environment and physics.

First of all, the wrestling match will be taking place in "Elvis Stew". Since the substances that make up this material are food, both combatants will undoubtedly eat all of it before even starting to wrestle. They will be aided in this by the fact that the stew will actually be sucked into their gravitational fields.

This leads us to the physics portion and also to why no one will win this bout. Recently, much theoretical computation has gone into figuring out what would happen if two very massive objects, such as neutron stars or black holes, collide with each other. Our two combatants fit the category, and since I am the Demented Astronomer, I feel qualified to explain what will happen. If we go by just Newtonian physics, they will merge into one even more massive object in a very violent and destructive manner. If we allow for relativistic effects, things get even uglier and this situation is too complicated for even supercomputers to handle.

Either way, both combatants destroy themselves and form either a neutron star or black hole depending on their combined mass and density. The casino, the Elvis impersonators, and a good chunk of the state of Nevada are instantly destroyed. However, some good will come of this as Rosie and Roseanne will be gone forever and the astrophysicists will get to see if their new gravity wave detectors really work.

In short, they both lose while we win.

There is no match here. Rosie, who admits to barricading herself in her communal condo room with a dresser to escape the vices of the other comedians living in the home, would only show up if she had been tricked, or drugged. Former prom queen and class president from Long Island who calls a hot night "a rousing game of Scrabble," finds herself face to face with a woman who embraces vice like a heroine addict embraces an AIDS tainted needle. Roseanne made her comic debut in a Denver biker bar while living in an artist colony in the rugged Rocky Mountains. Rosie made hers on Star Search with Ed McMahon. Roseanne stood in front of thousands of angry baseball fans, grabbed her crotch, and wailed out a tone def version of the Star Spangled Banner. She blew off offers from Heff to appear in Playboy in favor of spreading her wears for Gear, a low class rag from the desk of Bob Guccione Jr. son of Penthouse founder Bob Guccione.

Roseanne's mean, bitter, grizzled, with a new, slightly leaner build, and a fearless take no prisoner attitude. She openly kisses women. She isn't afraid of childbirth; liking it so much she opted for late age in vitro. While Roseanne may not be the brightest, this isn't a spelling bee; it's a grudge match. Rosie on the other hand, adopted her children, ripped material from Jerry Seinfeld, and became a star on the backs Madonna and Meg Ryan. It would be quick, and it would be ugly. Roseanne would seize Rosie's hair as she attempts to waddle her way hysterically out of the King's special mud pie. Once firmly in the She-Devil's grasp, she will have the Little Debbie Cakes summarily slapped out of her.

First and foremost, thank you ever so much for the visual of Rosie vs. Roseanne wrestling in "Elvis Stew". Your Ebola-laced thank-you card and (the horror of horrors...) fruitcake are in the mail.

Now, I'll dissect this match before the Jack Daniels'-Induced-Immunity-To-Grossiosity (TM) wears off.

Even though Roseanne is pretty damn annoying, her TV sitcom, frankly, was not all that bad. I found it watchable. In fact, I remember some of the episodes. One of which, in fact, stands out clearly ... Roseanne and her sister Jackie (who weighs, oh, about 1/3 of Roseanne) get into a fight... AND ROSEANNE LOSES. That's right. She got her butt kicked by a woman 200 lbs. lighter than her. (The studio audience laughs at the scene of Roseanne dropping her face into the couch and sobbing... doesn't say much for her popularity...) Rather disconcerting, considering that Rosie can pretty much match Roseanne pound for pound (ton for ton?).

Rosie O'Donnell has not gotten into a brawl on her talk show... however, she does mix it up in a stinkbomb called EXIT TO EDEN. (Cue sounds of a million movie watchers crying in agony, then suddenly silenced.) In it, she also goes up against a woman about 1/3 her size, Iman. Rosie proceeds to win that fight by KO.

I know what all you TV junkies are saying... "But, Todd, Jackie from Roseanne also kicked the collective butt of Dharma AND Greg! Doesn't strength of adversary mean anything? Rosie couldn't take Jackie either!"

My reply: "Know your role, and SHUT YOUR MOUTH!"(TM) I mean, let's face it, BLOSSOM could probably take out Dharma and Greg. I see this. Rosie O'Donnell knocks people out (with either her right hand or her (yawn!) talk show). Roseanne taps out to anorexics.

Capiche?

(Oh, no, the Jack is wearing off! And they're starting the match! My evilness, they're in bikinis!!! AAAAAGH!")

- Todd "I'M BLIND! I'M BLIND!" Evil

I can't say that I'm fond of either of these two women. Nor can I say that I see a definite advantage in the ring for either one. Nor will I ever forgive you people for putting a mental image in my head that will require three hours with a fireplace poker to remove. I have to choose a side to root for though, without a question, it's Roseanne. I choose her because one segment on one episode of her talk show contained the funniest thign I have ever seen on TV. Patrick Stewart was her guest that day. Roseanne had him do a dramatic, shakespearian-sounding, reading of the children's book, "Everyone Poops."

- Nix

IT'S......FLUBBERY! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Whew! Just in time.

THE RAGE(tm): Nope. Roseanne's got it in mass quantities. She even kept a hand-grenade on the set of her sitcom!

MENTOS COOLNESS(tm): I don't think this Grudge Element applies to this match. Oh well.

MR. T(tm): Maybe...if Rosie somehow were to get Mr. T on her side, she might be a winner in this match...CONSULT THE KEVIN BACON RECORDS! (Shuffle shuffle) Sorry, Mr. T has no impact on this one.

THE IRON FIST(tm): Possibly. If there were a great number of stupid comments about either of the two, then the other would be forced to win through sheer force of annoyance. But I doubt that we can find much to say about either of them.

and, finally...

FANBOYS(tm): Yes! This must be the key! We have eliminated all other factors!!!

...wait...Fanboys? ROSEANNE??!??!!?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Devin, can I have the number for your last point of residence?

Oh, yeah, Roseanne eats Rosie before you can say Richard Simmons.

Instead of arguing the pointless, I'd like to use a small analogy;

Who here is familiar with "Dragonball Z"? Okay, now who's familiar with the character of Majin Buu?

Let me enlighten those of you who are not anime fans: Majin Buu is a big pink lardo fatass villain who acts goofy and likes to eat. In order to become more powerful, he splits himself into a big, fat, goofy good version, and a big, fat, goofy evil version. The evil version then defeats and devours the good version, gaining the full powers of both.

I don't really think anymore needs to be said, except the necessity of figuring out whether Rosie or Roseanne is the EVIL half.

- Insomnus, Archfiend and Chief Tormentor of Beekeepers

P.S. There a grudge match between two talk show hosts eariler, is there a pattern immigiring?

P.S.S. Notice that I made a comment about the match, without any fat jokes.

P.S.S. Hopefully the crowd will lay the smakedown on Joan Rivers after the match.

Happy YK21!

The Rage™, eh? However, this can only get you so far.

Ayone else remember the old Ellen Ripley vs. Sarah Connor match? Paul Golba noted that "Maternal Instincts™" trump everything else. Rosie's got these in spades. And yes, Sarah Connor was indeed the victor. However, she also had the Babe Factor™. This then canceles out the Maternal Instincts™ clause for Rosie.

Ah. One for Roseanne, none for Rosie. But wait!

Rosie grew up in NYC. She's got the street smarts™ that can only come from marching along, while carrying a young child, with no bodyguards, and no forms of protection.

Clearly, these two fat femme fatales are at equal odds. (Hey! It's snowing in Las Vegas! Hell froze over! What are the odds?!) :)

So, I'm going to give this to another overworked, angry mother...

Mine.

Thank you and good night.

Roseanne, on the other hand, can't even sing the National Anthem without offending everyone in the country. Other than that, in all of the episodes from her show, she never got off her couch at home except to go to the kitchen or to bed, and she is clearly out of shape.

Roseanne will find herself flattened (for a change) by a clearly superior opponent.

- Corfy

Yes, it may sound weird, frightening, even freakin' bizzare, but there *are* men who are physically attracted (Nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more) to women like Rosie and Roseanne. Or they would be if Roseanne weren't suddenly shrinking (can you really call her "fat" anymore?) and Rosie weren't so saccharine and euphamistic about the whole fat acceptance thing. I say Camryn Maneheim (from "The Practice", and a real big bad momma!) comes along and beats the snot out of these pretenders for the crown of TV BBW (Big Beautiful Woman) Queen™. Now excuse me, I'm going to go prepare for the deluge of flames and insults I'm going to get from this...

Rosie Vs. Roseanne?

Rosie is just a peice of flab that popped offa Roseannes Elaphant- Like hide and took on a life of it's own.

Hell Mass alone Roseanne is what keeps half of Southern California from sinking into the pacific.

When you hear about tornados you know thats the day Roseanne ate a bean burrito.

Yeah Roseanne could knock Rosie over with one of her farts and then finish her off by sitting on her head. Roseannes Giant AssCheeks are the only thing that can fill up Rosies relentlessly flapping gums.

I predict Roseanne winner.

Either way I just want them both to shut the Hell up!

I'm sure most of you guys remember the infamous incident when Rosseanne sand the National Anthem, so let's just envision the battle shall we:

Rosie stands prepared to fight, but as she goes to hit Rosseanne, Rosseanne starts to sing the National Anthem. within seconds, Rosie has her hands to her ears, tears in her face shouting: "My god, make her stop! make her stop!" Finally, out of desperation, Rosie shoots herself with a gun. unfortunatly, Rosseanne will not be able to enjoy her victory for long as John Goodman rushes in to beat the crap out of her for all of the years he had to put up with her on the "Rosseanne" TV show

- Dane "The New Prodigy"

- Goatboy, "I am NOT a biological error!"

- The Amazing Wonder Jew

Didn't you guys pay attention when you had Mr T around to explain the rules of a fight?

Look, it's very simple. We have two big fat chicks fighting each other. As per Act IV, Section XXV, Paragraph 32 of the "Scrag Fight" handbook, if two fat chicks fight, one of the following will result:

1) Clothes will be ripped off
2) Bakers will protest at the abuse of "all the rolls"
3) The respective gravitational pulls of the two ladies will interact with each other causing an massive wormhole-discontinuation effect resulting in the earth getting flushed down an intergalactive toilet.

So please, call this match off and replace it with "Hugh Hefner vs Common Decency" or "Religion vs Science: Who really killed the dinosaurs?"

P.S I voted for Rosie because at least she's never gotten naked

Joe, if you think that being politically active is a sign of intelligence, I suggest you take another look at elected officials around America. Or Canada. Or Mexico. Or...

Sorry, I got sidetracked. Anyway, trust me; I have a degree in Political Science, and I can say with professional certainity that we're ALL idiots. Rosie is a political groupie, which puts her at the bottom of the poseur hierarchy. Roseanne, on the other hand, stays true to her white trash roots. Who would be more at home in The Grudge™--trailer trash, or Ms. Anti-Violence Wannabe?

VOCAL INTIMIDATION (aka Trash Talking)
ROSIE: dreadfully annoying with a whiny voice like nails on a chalkboard vs.
ROSEANNE: dreadfully annoying with a screechy voice like nails on a chalkboard.
TIE

VOCAL ALTER-EGOS (aka Voice Over)
ROSIE: Terk the gorilla in Tarzan vs.
ROSEANNE: Mikey's kid sister in Look Who's Talking, Too
Obviously a gorilla could crush the very skull of an annoying baby, especially when the annoying voice of the baby's mother stimulates the violent onslaught of crushing death.

Yes, Roseanne could invoke the John Travolta factor™ and the Bruce Willis factor™, but then Rosie would just invoke the Disney Factor™ cited here, here, here, here, here, and here, (as I bow in obeisance before the Imperial Mouse™) and easily take seven at one blow™.
Advantage: Rosie

COSTUME COMPARISON
ROSIE: scantily clad dominatrix cop from Exit to Eden vs.
ROSEANNE: naked in Gear magazine.
As Paul points out, Roseanne has already been publically naked. So she has the aforementioned nudity advantage when clothes start coming off. However, dominatrices and cops carry handcuffs and know how to use them. Before Roseanne knows what's happening, she'll be hogtied, no pun intended.
Advantage: Rosie

THE RAGE™ FACTOR
ROSIE: Has The Rage™ because she has been continually thwarted in all attempts at keeping her private life private. Not that there's anything wrong with that™. vs.
ROSEANNE: Has The Rage™ because she's had her stomach stapled, she's hungry, and whenever she eats more than 1 Hershey Kiss™, she vomits.
Roseanne is hungry and has been often thwarted in love. Rosie is happily involved in a relationship she just can't keep out of the media. Who do you think wins?
Advantage: Roseanne

WEAPONRY
Essentially, the major edge the Eye of the Tiger™ gave Roseanne above gets cut down a bit by the fact that Rosie has both Bam Bam's club from the Flintstones and a baseball bat from A League of Their Own.
Advantage: Rosie

With a score of 3-1-1 in favor of Rosie, it's all over shortly after a lot of people can no longer bear the horror.

Frankly, I was looking for "both crushed underneath a flailing stampede of terror-stricken spectators instantaneously blinded by the dual images of heinous obesity unbound."

- Obscured Underlord, aghast at the imagery...

- Lokisson

On the one hand, you have Rosie O'whatsit, who's so far out of touch from what's "cool" that she's probably going to feature this match on her god-forsaken show. Her one claim to fame during her stratospheric rise to mediocrity was that people mistook her for one of the daughters on the 80's sitcom Gimme a Break!.

She's the cause of frat boys all over the country reaching down, deep down, and coming up with wells of cleverness they never expected, all just to express in various clever metaphors how unlikely they would know her in the Biblical sense.

Rosie is our national personification of fingernails on the chalkboard. We, as Americans, have never expressed sorrow for stealing the land of the aboriginal people. Various wars with European powers, Canada's settlers, and the Mexicans were merely part of our national policy. Apologize? We laugh at you, and make us toil some more in our sweatshops! (Rolls head back and laughs.) Slavery? Jim Crow? What, me worry? Dropping da bomb on Japan? They deserved it for Pearl Harbor--right?

But Rosie. Oh, Rosie. We owe the world a great, big, huge I-swear-I-can-change type apology followed by tears, hugs, diamond rings and two dozen long-stem roses. "Words cannot begin to express our sorrow" and all the rest.

As for Roseanne Barr/Arnold or whatever she's calling herself these days: here's a woman who was married to a guy so lame, comedians can barely spend the time or energy trying to come up with jokes to make fun of him. And I swear, I SWEAR, that if she makes it into the pages of "Playboy," I'll...I'll...I'll call Hugh Hefner a big, smelly meanie and swear never to masturbate to his magazine again so long as I live! So there!

You guys make me sick. This is enough to drive one to drink. I'm gonna go curl up with a bottle of Jack Daniels... wake me when it's over.

Roseanne wins though: remember her horrible rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" before that baseball game in '90? She'll launch into it again here, making Rosie sure *wish* she had a gun, if only to end her own pain as Roseanne launches into it again. As it is, the crooning shatters the sanity of Rosie, Rivers, and just about every other semi-conscious being in the quadrant.

But wait, the smell of the Elvis Slop™ has brought out the ultimate fatass, Sally Struthers. Driven into a feeding frenzy by having gone 5 minutes without eating food marked for Ethiopia, looks ravenously at Roseanne. Like a snake, Sally Struthers seems to have Roseanne hyponotized as her bottom jaw detaches and she swallows Roseanne whole. Then Sally Struthers is poked and prodded by her trainers back into her cage and shipped back out. So the real winner, all of us.

"I'm glad to assist you, Niles. A psychiatrist should not take the drastic step of lobotomizing a patient without a second opinion."

"Excellent. Now remember, if there's any problems, we merely push the red button on the desk and the orderlies will come in with straitjackets and cattle prods to handle the patients."

"Really, Niles, is that necessary?"

"Well you never can tell." Niles pushes the intercom button. "Send in the patients, please." Paul and Joe enter the office dressed in hospital gowns and take their seats. Niles asks, "Do you gentlemen know why you're here?"

Joe says, "Well, we were the commentators on the Grudge Match of Roseanne versus Rosie O'Donnell and all I said was Rosie was sweet-"

"Excuse me," Frasier asks with blank shock on his face, "did you say Rosie O'Donnell was 'sweet'?"

"Yes," says Joe, "and she isn't whinny, she's political."

"Ah!" say Frasier and Niles as they look at each other and simultaneously press the red button. After the orderlies have beaten Joe and shocked him with the cattle prods, they place him in a straitjacket and drag him from the office.

Niles says, "Well, anyone who takes the opposite of Joe's argument must be sane so I guess you're free to go, Paul."

"Thanks, Doc. I can't believe they put me here with that lunatic just because I have a poster of Roseanne naked."

Frasier and Niles crawl over each other to press the red button first.

As the orderlies drag Paul out, Niles asks Frasier, "Lobotomies?"

Frasier says, "See if their HMOs will let us stick Cuisinarts up their noses and set it for Frappe."

- The Admiral - Joe and Paul don't deserve lobotomies but you guys have got to install a "Both Killed and Mutilated" button.

Several past matches have hinged on ranged attacks and the ability to project damage long distances. Examples include Godzilla's win over King Kong (Thermonuclear breath[TM]), Death Star over the Enterprise (Superlaser[TM] and turbolasers[TM] and TIEs[TM] versus wussy bug zapper and shuttlecraft), almost any Star Wars victory over Star Trek and such(cool blasters, starfighters, and the Force[TM] versus phasers which have a level 15 thermonuclear blast but are only put on stun), and so forth. Examining the opponent's ranged attacks, we find that Roseanne does have her infamous grating voice[TM], capable of flattening many buildings(akin to Godzilla's Screech of Death[TM], but more annoying). Also, I find it likely that Roseanne could launch pieces of food that she finds hidden in her folds of flab, but she would most likely eat them first. Rosie, on the other hand, has some baseballs she kept from her movie A League Of Their Own. These are not likely to affect Roseanne if they hit her in the torso, the layers of fat acting like so much armor plating. However, Rosie would unleash her most devastating ranged weapon: the diabolical Koosh Slingshot[TM]. With her keen aim and the actually REALLY PAINFUL punch of the Koosh[TM], she could nail the Flabulous one right between the eyes multiple times, really putting her at the advantage.

Another advantage for Rosie is having LESS weight than Roseanne. True, in a head-to-head full-on collision, Roseanne would send Rosie into orbit. BUT as we all know, in sumo[TM], lighter fighters know to dodge heavier opponents and then kick the crap out of them once the momentum of their initial charge is spent. Rosie could also dodge anything Roseanne throws at her. Once the two are at close range, Roseanne is totally unable to do any kind of fighting. Too much flab. But Rosie, being a veritable sprite next to Roseanne, can still pull off some martial arts and stuff.

Third, and possibly most important, Rosie will have the RAGE[TM][TM], which has decided many a Grudgematch. Rosie will not be happy at all in being included in this fight because she is, ahem, large, nor at being called fat. She has made a career on being a cool person and a good actress. Roseanne, on the other hand, has made a career on being FAT. No RAGE[TM] motivation. All she might be motivated by is the RAGE's[TM] cousin, the HUNGER[TM], but we all know the latter is much weaker. Also, Roseanne will likely spoil her HUNGER[TM] by eating the swill on the floor.

Here's how the fight will go:

Roseanne and Rosie face off at opposite corners. The crowd cheers loudly, "FAT! FAT! FAT!" Roseanne throws the crowd a kiss, but Rosie gets royally pissed off, and enters THE RAGE[TM]! Opening up with her Koosh Slingshot[TM], she nails Roseanne repeatedly in her relatively unfatty (and thus unarmored) head. Roseanne attempts to enter the RAGE [TM], but only manages to achieve the weaker HISSY FIT[TM].

Screeching wildly, she charges Rosie, but Rosie sidesteps at the last moment, sending Roseanne into the slop. While Roseanne satisfies her momentary hunger, Rosie prepares for the finish. As Roseanne gets up, Rosie launches into a martial arts routine, finishing up with the most supreme and undefeatable attack in the known universe, the Tranny-Kanny-Fanny-Whammer[TM]. Roseanne slumps to the ground, unconscious and lighter by a couple hundred pounds (a result of the last attack, which completely removed her buttocks). Rosie is the victor, but instead of accepting the prize, she gives it to her friend Elvis Presley, who has been hiding on the set of her show until it was safe for him to reenter the world. Now, with an endless supply of food and enough Elvis look-alikes to keep him safe from assasination, he can. After double-teaming Michael Jackson and reducing him to his constituent atoms, the pair live happily ever after doing talk shows and made-for-TV movies. All in 5 minutes.

Roseanne doesn't pretend to be anything. She knew she was a bad singer before she did the national anthem, she knew Tom Arnold was a prick and married him anyway, and she played the bitchy mamma to a hilt on her HIT T.V. show, "Roseanne." Meanwhile, Rosie professes to be a great singer, which subjects the minimal viewers to her FLOP show to off-key renditions of forgettable Broadway tunes. She wants to be known as a thoughtful, caring mommy while at the same time threatening to cancel her FLOP show because no one wanted Barbra Streisand on it. And she thinks she's an adult, while she cries like a baby.

At least Rosie has the pleasure of getting the complete mud bath. Maybe she'll look a little better after letting that gunk set on her for a few hours...then again, maybe not...

NOTE: There is no truth to the rumer that Tom Arnolds dissapearance from showbuissness is due to him geting too close to Roseanne's bucket during feeding time. He is alive and well working his dream job at Burger Beefy's All You Can Eat Grill.

---20 bucks on Roseanne

I was ready to boycott the match in outrage, but a more charitable spirit came over me. The glass isn't half empty, it is half full. It isn't that one of these broads(term used advisedly) is going to live, it's that one of them is going to die. Once I realized this, I could respond, if not with glee, at least with equanimity.

So, we have one woman who's a jerk but casts herself as the nicest woman on TV, and another woman who's a jerk and glories in the role. Obviously, the reluctant jerk will hesitate to fight with the committed dirtiness it will take to win this match. Roseanne will end up sitting on Rosie's head, pressing it face-down into the layer of gravy at the bottom of the battle-tank until the twitching stops. (The grin on Roseanne's face during the twitching phase will revolt all but the most jaded hard-porn addicts.)

But there's a corollary to this scenario. There will be a sizable portion of the audience who have fallen for the nice-Rosie disguise, and will be incensed at Roseanne's callous dispatching of their sweetie. They will come charging into the pit like a herd of chihuahuas, and while some of them will get eaten like chihuahuas, the rest will have their revenge on Ms. Moby.

Wow. I've surprised myself. Technically there's a winner, but both contestants end up dead. My feverishly desired best-case scenario came true after all.

... almost. There's still Joan Rivers to handle. Any suggestions?
