If They Fought: Route 66 Blue Whale vs. Tulsa Golden Driller
Posted by Tasha on December 23rd, 2010 in Culture
I did something the other day that helped me to realize just how awesome the TDT communities on Facebook and Twitter really are.
I put the Route 66 Blue Whale and Tulsa’s Golden Driller in a ring. Then, I rang the bell.
Dozens of you weighed in on who would win, who would lose and why.
I decided that the winner of this both literal and figurative landmark smackdown should take on no other than the mammoth praying hands at Oral Roberts University:
I think Brenda on Facebook said it best:
Ha!
Ultimately, the Blue Whale was declared the winner and the one to take on the largest praying hands in the world.
So who do you think takes the cake this time? The blue whale or the praying hands?
Choose well, my friends. Because the winner takes on Taylor Hanson (who, with his two brothers, hosts a Christmas special at Hanson.net this Christmas Eve) next week.

Usually they are praying hands, but right now they are clapping for me because I would win. It’s very nice that they are so gracious.

I wish I would’ve seen this earlier, my old favorite (Driller) against my new favorite (Blue Whale)! I hope the Blue Whale can defeat the others.

Oh, you want to go there Whale? I was going to just let this play out…
See the the XXXXXXXL hard hat? The size 250 boots? The TULSA belt buckle the size of an SUV? You lose whale. All you have is a sailor’s hat.

Natasha. I failed to read the outcome when I posted earlier. I beg you to reconsider for a number of reasons:
1) Tulsa blog. Tulsa monument.
2) Muscle vs blubber.
3) Tall. Dark. Handsome. 76′, GOLDEN, DRILLER. (Drillers = hot)
3) If you ever want to gain entry into another wedding cake competition (one of the biggest in the nation), Home and Garden Show, or Disney event, you’ll rethink this.
Do the right thing.

I grew up in in a place where I passed the whale all the time as wondefully kitchy as the wale may seem, I since a lot of rage in the whale and an army of water mockasins that realy love that whale. As a friend of the driller I would ask him to throw the fight before he was killed and I’ll bet agenst him and we could split the cash, and take a vacation. As far as the hands, prayer is the one thing that u need to beat the wale, the Army of snakes, and whatever creepy comic book vilan that is currently useing the whale as home base.
