The poll is likely going to be later than usual from now on. Somebody just signed on for a whole new workload. Poll #1427894 Friday! Friday!! Friday!!!
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All pooplord -- Does not caring who won the U.S. Open make me a bad person? Also, did you know they do Thai dim sum at Rabieng every weekend? We've been over this and over this. Tennis sucks. I just spent hours going through old polls looking for questions about how much tennis sucks instead of writing today's poll. And no, I didn't know that about Rabieng - thank you. That's a must-go.
eideteker -- What redeeming qualities do the Star Wars prequels have?
eideteker -- Hayden: Panetierre or Christiansen? According to Google's suggestions, the other choices (not relevant to the primary and secondary Haydens) are:
renob423 -- does this mean there is no 256 character limit?It does. But I'm proud of you for only going into the 270's with all the freedom you've been granted. what is the meanest thing anybody has ever said to you and why is that the meanest thing? what did you do after they said it? what is the best comeback you have ever had when you were arguing with someone, and why was it so grand? what did the person you said it to do after? Jesus, this is pretty specific stuff. Okay, worst type of insults:
When it comes to comebacks, I: Questions in the comments instead of in the box? I have recently accepted additional duties at work taking care of some assistant-like tasks for my boss. In a time of layoff threats, a gal's got to do what she can to make herself un-cuttable. In the two days I've been at it, I've lost about 90% of my slack time, and have unfortunately had to move offices. Reduced funtime aside, what's the worst thing about my new office?

It appears my dumbass forgot to put in the question box. Hey, it's my day off. Put your questions in the comments, please. Poll #1424665 Friday! Friday!! Friday!!!
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All popespydie -- Why haven't I left for work yet?
pooplord -- Upsides/downsides of Michael Jackson (and Farrah Fawcett, I suppose) dying on my birthday?
eideteker -- How would I go about hiking the Appalachian Trail? Is leporacy a racier version of leprosy? Okay, you get two. You should know by now picking on spelling isn't getting you anywhere.
eideteker -- Flames, radiation warnings, biohazard symbols, barbed wire... what's the next symbol of badassedness?
renob423 -- what is the grossest household chore you just let go because doing it sucks? what is the grossest household chore you've ever seen someone else just let go and been totally discusted by? did you mention it to them or just tell others about it behind their When my dad used to clean out the sink drain, he thought it was funny to wave handfuls of the slop at me. He'd say "it's only soap scum" but I knew it was soap scum, spit, pflegm, hair and god knows what else goes down a bathroom sink drain. Back when I was in the apartment, I bought a cheap baby bottle brush to try to clean out my drain, which contained at minimum my 7 years of crud, plus likely whoever else's since the sink was installed.
I love wandering around Target, Wal-Mart, Dollar Stores, etc. just looking at stuff. Chick thing? Just when we thought they hit bottom, Hollywood digs: the 1979 Atari video game hit Asteroids is going to be a Disney movie. If it stays true to the game at all, it should be about as interesting to watch as a ceiling fan. How about forcing plots into some other old games? - Mood:calm

Poll #1421498 Friday! Friday!! Friday!!!
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All mac -- worst tattoo idea evar.
pooplord -- My dad is coming to visit for a few days. How much toilet paper will he use? I'm starting to think maybe he should bring his own.
eideteker -- Can't we save the poll by all asking multiple questions?
renob423 -- why is green day still relevant? they wrote maybe 3 good songs in the 15 + years they have been around and there were 1,000's of other bands that sounded just like them in the 90's. so why do we have to pretend billy joe is some kind of musical genieus?
So Farrah Fawcett died of anal cancer. What's most tragic about this is that while she spent her celebrity enjoying sex symbol status, nobody will ever think of her again without thinking of her butthole. To provide dignity to anyone who dies from butthole diseases from now on, the code word should be: Michael Jackson is: YOUR QUESTION HERE - Mood:chipper

Poll #1418101 Friday! Friday!! Friday!!!
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All eideteker -- Can I buy a vowel?
pooplord -- So I am obsessed with the Cool Beans" clip from Hot Rod, which I only just recently saw even though it came out in 2007. Does this prove that I am lame, or that I am wacky and fun-loving?
renob423 -- a month ago you asked about good xbox 360 games, what did you get? why is everybody always up my ass about grammer and spelling? this is the friday poll, not a big school project. what is the biggest project you ever turned in without running spellchec?
View AnswersI followed popespydie's recommendation and got Peggle, which was heartily enjoyed. Until I made the mistake of dusting off my old copy of Caesar III, which has proven wildly consuming for an 11-year-old game.
  0 (0.0%) I have also found myself in a gang of Horde slayers on GOW2, in spite of my distaste for shooters (which stems entirely from my general ineptitude with the controls - I'm usually running in circles shooting at the sky, but GoW2's are great).
  0 (0.0%) When people bust you on your spelling, grammar, or syntax, it's because either a) they have nothing better to say, b) want to feel superior to someone, or c) aren't paying attention to nor care about what you're saying.
  4 (50.0%) Probably something that was handed in before spellcheck, but then my mom would have typed it for me on her typewriter and she'd have served as the spellcheck. So no, I can't say I have.
  4 (50.0%) Speaking of Airplane!, while in theory, yesterday's situation where the pilot died mid-flight was probably not as hilarious as the beloved Zucker Brothers classic. But my faith in humanity has me believe that at least somebody on that flight at least tried. How? The Friday Poll: should it stay or should it go now? YOUR QUESTION HERE - Mood:cheerful

Wow. Four hours and I didn't realize the Poll was all fucked up. Sorry about that, guys. Poll #1414978 Friday! Friday!! Friday!!!
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All pooplord -- What is the superior supermarket chain and why? Does renob423 really think we have Kroger (or, uh, "kroker") here? I wish we had a damned Kroker. They are fantastic. Anyhoo, since this is such a regional question and the four of you who read this represent nearly each geographic region of the country, let's go for Best Supermarket Chain Name (not including Piggly Wiggly, because that's just unfair):
eideteker -- What should I do in my last year before turning 30?
renob423 -- if the state ever does come out on dvd (which it is rumored too) will it be anywhere near as funny as i remember it? are any old shows ever actually as funny as people remember them? No, they usually are not, and the State is no exception. The skits you remember will still be funny but all that stuff between them will make you cringe. It's probably best to just YouTube old favorites. Best recurring State skit?
Best one-shot State skit: Two shows came out recently, Tosh 2.0 and Web Soup, both using The Soup's format to sum up internet videos. While I enjoyed watching them, I can't help but think this is a harbringer for lameness that will only push the internets to new levels of some sort of depravity. Why? True or false: if you find yourself riding the bus at 9:30 on a Sunday evening, something has gone horribly wrong. YOUR QUESTION HERE - Mood:embarrassed

Twofer! pooplord -- what is the grossest job you could imagine having? renob423 -- do you carry a giant keychain with with all kinds of shit on it, a medium sized one with maybe a kroker card and a few unnessicairy keys or do you just have the bare nessicities?
renob423 -- how much junk do you keep in your wallet?
The question was going to be It appears that David Carradine will be hanging out with the INXS guy in the special 'Choke the Chicken' club in the afterlife. Thoughts? However, while looking at his imdb for inspiration, I learned that David Carradine is half brother to Robert Carradine, who we all know as Louis Skolnick.
