Hmmm... is there some way to play them against each other?

I like 1.a3 too sometimes, especially if I have too many white games since 1.c3,c5 or 1.c3,d5 and 1...e5 2.c4 isn't forced.  That leaves 1.a3 usually transposing into many Sicilians up a tempo, but black's setup is good because it's designed to slowly phase out white's initiative and take it himself.  White on the first move already has the initiative. 

1.Nf3 2.b3 3.Bb2 4.e3 is a great system usually but sometimes black can disrupt this system. 

1.e4,f5? is the herpaderp gambit, for those times you must lose.
