New Poll and Other Changes

July 13, 2006 1:01 AM

've changed the poll. The new poll asks what your favorite curse word is. You will have to discern what the options are yourself. To sum up the results from the previous poll, "What's Your Favorite 80's Movie?,":

Tied for last were Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, Masters of the Universe (the He-Man movie), and Rocky III, each of which, deservedly, got no votes.

Second to last was a tie between one of those goddamned Molly Ringwald movies and, surprisingly, The Blues Brothers, each with just under 11%. I'm really surprised Blues Brothers did so poorly - it's one of my all-time favorites.

Next up, with 13.5% of the votes, The Empire Strikes Back. Frankly, I was again surprised at how this movie did. I suspected it would rank slightly higher.

Tied for second were two movies that kicked off awesome trilogies: Back to the Future and Raiders of the Lost Ark, each with just under 19% of the votes. Both awesome movies and awesome trilogies, although I have to say I prefer Back to the Future.

And, finally, the undisputed king of 80s movies? Ferris Beuler's Day Off! A movie which, by the way, I still have never seen. I'll have to get on that, apparently.

I've made two more additions/changes to the blog. The first is that I've added what's called a "favicon." If you look i your IE or Firefox address bar (or the tab for this blog in FIrefox), you'll see a very small version of my profile picture. I think that's pretty cool. It should show up in your favorites, too.

The other change was prompted by several comments I got in response to the previous poll. A few people were upset that I didn't list a specific Molly Ringwald movie, such as Breakfast Club or some such shit. So, taking an idea from Chrystal, I've added a tag board. Anyone can write in it and on any topic, but it's mainly there to provide a place to discuss the poll and argue about which poll option is the best. Like I said, though, please feel free to write about anything.

To write on it, just click on "Write Something . . ." and the rest is self-explanatory.

Alright, enjoy everyone. I promise a substantive post soon!

Anybody who did not vote for either the blues bros or ferris should be shot, tarred and feathered, and then shot again, followed by sex with rush limbaugh.
