Coke vs. Pepsi - Barbara Eden is the poor man's Elizabeth Montgomery

This also falls under the Ginger/Mary Ann and Munsters/Addams Family category of debates.

Curious fact: Although Jeannie is the poor man's Samantha, Samantha's cousin is the poor man's Jeannie's sister.

Coke vs. Pepsi - Pepsi is the poor man's Coca Cola

There are two schools of thought. The Pepsi School and the Coke School. You now know where my learnin' was done.

I'm going to say some incendiary things this week. (I'll wait while you look it up.) Things you may not agree with. Things that may have formed the basis for your entire way of relating to the world.

This is the week where I openly challenge you to either see things in a new light or vehemently agree with me, because you know I'm right when I take sides and say, "Coke is better than Pepsi."

All I ask is that you come to this with an open mind.

Coke is SO much better than Pepsi.

P.S. This site will not endorse Coca Cola nor Pepsi products...without compensation.

Zero 7 is the poor man's Air

The poor woman came up with this one. How she can afford music is beyond me.

Next week: The "Coke vs. Pepsi" school of thought.

The N is the poor man's C

I honestly thought my commute home couldn't be located on a worse line. Then I was priced out of my neighborhood.

C Train, take a bow.

Evangeline Lilly is the poor man's Kate Beckinsale

But what the hell do I know? I haven't been able to afford a movie or TV in years. Besides, I thought her name was "Beckinsdale."

Quarterflash is the poor man's The Motels

I don't know why, but I really like this one.

Tom Sizemore is the poor man's Michael Madsen

Ahhh, but of course.

Craig Sheffer is the poor man's David Boreanaz

All thanks to Buffy.

Wait for it. It gets better.

Emmy Rossum is the poor man's Anne Hathaway

Not that it matters.

Cocoa Krispies is the poor man's Cocoa Pebbles

Bahr-NEE!

Tell me otherwise.

Sorry, Marty.

Simon MacCorkindale is the poor man's Michael York

Manimal!

Michael Moriarty was the poor man's Jon Voight

About 30 years ago.

Powers Boothe is the poor man's Tommy Lee Jones

Being a poor man, I find myself in dire need of entertainment. I play little games with myself. It all began with this one.

This is not a slight to either actor. I f%#king dig Powers Boothe to the nth degree. But seriously, if one cannot afford a Tommy Lee Jones, one sure as hell wants to have a Powers Boothe, got it? Same bang, less buck.

And, c'mon! Look at these guys. If either one of them ever cracked a smile, the universe might fold in on itself. Who else but Boothe could be Jones? Or vice versa. I have no idea what I'm talking about. I'm just lolly-gagging until I can bypass my dayjob's firewall and download some sweet, sweet porn.

This is the idea, in theory. Think of something/someone. Now think of the poor man's version (whatever that means to you) of that something/someone. This doesn't have to mean one is a better actor/musician/artist/pediatrician/golfer/psychic/rock star/flamenco dancer than the other, it just means this person probably has a higher profile than his/her poor man's counterpart.

It's stupid.
It's fun.
It'll effectively waste time.

Enjoy.
