Speaking of Van Dam

Recently a fellow colleauge of mine possed a very interesting question.

Who is the ultimate sunday afternoon action star, Jean Claude Van Dam or Steven Segal.

Now each of these actors/killing machines has his own flair and style, JC with a more rock em sock em attitude, kind of like i'll blow up your house and make out with your sister; while Stevey Segal is more sutble, where he'll sneak in your house, steal your TV and Karate chop your dog.

In an effor to avoid a college thesis (similar to guy on couch in PCU) I think this battle comes down to 1 thing, who's got the better pony tail.

It takes a real man to go out in the real world, let alone act in a movie that has the potenial for such sydincation as bloodsport/under seige. I was eating dinner the other night and saw an older man (50/60) with full grey hair rocking a serious pont tail. Now by the end of dinner he was kissing my girlfriend, but thats not the point (pony tails are pretty smooth so i see why she fell for it). The point is....dude your probably someones dad, or atleast creepy neihgbor, do you want to be remembered as lovable man who was very friendly and reliable, or guy that snuck into my apartment, karate chopped my dog and stole my TV.
(sorry for the rant).

back to the argument, these dudes wore a pony tail, and if you looked twice at them, boom you were dead.

Now Van Dam's more of a greasy dude who peaked in the '80's, plus he did a movie with Dennis Rodman, so i'd have to say the edge goes to my boy (and potential father) Steve Segal.

Its a close battle but SS comes through with a huracaine ......... !!!
