Homerism Regional: No. 3 Falcon vs. #6 Seahawk – QUIEN ES MAS MACHO?
Why did we pair two fairly similar types of birds against one another in the first round? And why did also match up jungle cats against horses so often, and pirates against Indians so many times? I’ll tell you why: Because we’re fucking retards, that’s why. Anyway, this matchup features the trusty falcon (he’s the stuff dreams are made of!) against the Seahawk, nee osprey. We go right to the pros and cons and ask you, the fan, who would win in a fight… to the death! Indeed, QUIEN ES MAS MACHO?
NOTE: The poll is at the top of the sidebar to the right. Voting for each contest is open until the end of the day that it’s posted. Voting is closed. The Falcon won with 55 percent of the vote.
FALCON
Strengths:
-Sharp talons!
-Beak!
-Can fly!
-Superior vision!
-Delicious regurgitate!
Weaknesses:
-Is it supposed to be pronounced FAWL-kun? Annoying.
-Sam Spade told me it’s a fake! A fake, I tells ya!
-Needs one of those adorable little leather bird helmets
-Not so tough if pitted against a smattering of buckshot
-Not particularly edible
-Possible relative of Footsteps Falco
Entrance Music:
“Rock Me Amadeus”
SEAHAWK
Strengths:
-Sharp talons!
-Beak!
-Can fly!
-Superior vision!
-Delicious regurgitate!
-Never pretended to know something about Matt Ufford because they saw a picture online! Also never asked him for money!
Weaknesses:
-Lamprey > Osprey
-Looks kinda arrogant up there, if you ask me
-Large hooked nose means he’s probably devious with money
-Get feathers ruffled if you ruffle his feathers
-Always out to sea, and you know what that means: gayer than a fire engine
Entrance Music:
“Overblown,” Mudhoney
Voting closes at the end of the day. Let the battle begin. ENTER THE OCTAGON!

A falcon took my eyeball! A falcon took my eyeball!

Gotta go with the hometown mascot: osprey are bigger than falcons. Plus Mudhoney really tied together the “Singles” soundtrack.
March 20th, 2008 at 11:27 am
a bigger bird just means a bigger target for a falcon going 200 mph

A Mudhoney reference? WTF? Take that shit back to Abderdeen . . .
Anyway, I go with the Falcon.
Steve Largent worship hints at the Seahawks subconscious racism, while Jerry Glanville made the Falcons black on purpose! Go figure.

Are seahawks the same as osprey? If so, all the Falcon needs is a whopping dose of DDT and the match is his.
Too soon?

That seahawk could use a tan

“Despite these theoretical values, measurements of real stoops by using radar resulted in maximum diving speeds of only 140 km/h (87 mph).”
Osprey also dive, and are able to haul away fish up to 4 lbs from 3 feet deep.

Military namesakes:
F-16 Fighting Falcon, versatile jet that remains mainstay of multiple air forces.
V-22 Osprey, gimmicky tiltrotor death trap.

Then again, Blue Falcon = buddy fucker
March 20th, 2008 at 11:57 am
F-16 Fighting Falcon, outdated fighter jet in an age of no aerial combat.
SH-60 Seahawk, one of the world’s most versatile helicopters.
March 20th, 2008 at 12:22 pm
Hmmm… F-16 v. SH-60 or V-22
Yeah… Falcon.

Large hooked nose means he’s probably devious with money
Best Jew joke of the month.
March 20th, 2008 at 12:29 pm
This is going to sound retarded, but I didn’t start reading KSK until sometime after this foosteps falco person had left, so what the heck happened to the guy?
March 20th, 2008 at 12:49 pm
The entrance music on all of these has been perfect. Well done Sir.
March 20th, 2008 at 12:57 pm
I never saw no seahawk play fetch for a shriveled pale nerd at Ren Faire.
Seahawk for the win.
March 20th, 2008 at 1:01 pm
I’m sorry, but when an animal can be trained to rest on some guy’s forearm on command, and sleep whenever a small hood is placed on it’s head, then that means the Falcon is a total pussy. An osprey would rather suck out the sweet eye juices in your head than play around like that.
Yeah, I’m being a blatant homer right now, but is it my fault that there aren’t any Atlanta homers….anywhere? Even in Atlanta?
March 20th, 2008 at 1:01 pm
Falcon or Seahawk? I haven’t been this torn between two nearly identical candidates since the presidential contest between John Jackson and Jack Johnson.
March 20th, 2008 at 1:01 pm
Do the falcons/seahawks have large talons?
My swim team growing up was the Ospreys, so I’m going with them.
March 20th, 2008 at 1:41 pm
This one is Seahawk all the way. Even though the military Osprey vehicle is a death trap, the pictured seahawk looks like he would enjoy fucking you up. And Mudhoney sealed it.
March 20th, 2008 at 1:47 pm
They call me Homer.
March 20th, 2008 at 1:50 pm
I go with the Gay Jew FTW
March 20th, 2008 at 2:53 pm
But seriously, crappy military hardware or no, this is an easy osprey. The falcon is the airborne show dog of the inbred aristocracy. It’s like throwing a terrier in with a wolf.

Seahawk = Osprey.
Osprey will fuck your shit up. Vote Seahawk or vote stupid.

i’m pretty sure falcons can beat pit bulls, but not seahawks. seahawks destroy all that is before them, as does mudhoney.
i shall name this one “kenny easley”.
