Most of the time I completely avoid getting into a debate with people. It's not out of a lack of argumentative fire or fear of being proven wrong, I realize it's a waste of time to try and change someone's opinion.
But there are a few things that nearly all people agree on. A few issues or topics everyone you speak with will attest to.
Like the fact that beer tastes better cold or that Roller Girl is one of the greatest movie characters of all-time, there are certain things that have become factual opinions, if there were such things.
Among these factual opinions is a long time love affair ... two, in fact. Each began in 1984, a year that will surely go down in hottie infamy.
On June 22, 1984, the gorgeous Ali Mills inspired young Daniel Larusso to become the greatest martial artist the world (or his high school) would ever know.
The Karate Kid as a film did more than inspire thousands of 7-14 year olds to sign up for karate class, however. It introduced me to one of my youngest and longest loves.
It taught me how important it was to show off my crane kicking skills and how pimp it would be to wear a shower costume to a Halloween party (I swear I'm still saving that one for the right party).

Later that same year, on September 20, 1984, a little show called Who's the Boss? hit the air waves. Focused on Tony Micelli, the housekeeper, and career-woman Angela Bauer, the show played on the sexual tension between a pair of single parents.
For me, however, there was one and only one reason to watch the show. Angela's son, Jonathon Bauer, was the coolest kid in the world.
I'm kidding, of course, so let's get serious here. Samantha Micelli could be the single most beloved TV character for men ages 25-40. There could also be some 40-and older fans in there, but that's a little weird.
Played by the simply-perfect Alyssa Milano, Samantha is nearly every man's childhood/young adulthood crush. To this day, there isn't a single Tony Danza fan that doesn't have a thing for Alyssa.
Or is it, to this day there isn't a single Tony Danza fan.
Either way, today's debate is far greater than whatever the hell everyone keeps talking about on Nov. 4. Furthermore, both of our participants are hotter than any vice presidential nominee, and they won't put all of our lives in danger if elected.
In each of our candidates, we have a long-time beauty that will forever go down in the hearts of all men. Both Shue and Milano are still knockouts and continue to gain young fans who are waiting for Karate Kid and Who's the Boss? to be on iTunes.
So as we put the vote out to the masses - without even mentioning Leaving Las Vegas or Poison Ivy 2 - we ask that you take to the polls with great respect and pride in your manly duty. While both beauties will be in our hearts forever, only one can be the first inductee into the Urbs' Blurbs Hottie Hall of Fame.
Choose carefully, and may Tony Danza bless America!
