New Poll!

Yes, seeing as how it's February, I decided that it was about time to put up a new poll. Unfortunately, I can't tell you the results of the old poll because the website seems to be down. Still, that prompted me to look around for a better poll generator, and I think I found a good one with a better look and interface. Still, I'll let you know if I'm ever able to find out what you guys hate most about the holidays. In the meantime, the new poll, as suggested by the Expat, asks why you have your particular...

New Poll

Alright, I really am going to do the one about stupid law suits. But not right now. Mostly because I'm lazy. Besides, I'm totally in the Christmas spirit now. I wasn't in October when they started putting up the Christmas decorations in stores. And I wasn't in November when there were a bunch of commercials for Black Friday sales. But, now that it's after Thanksgiving and it's actually almost December, I'm all about Christmas. I've been walking around singing Christmas carols to myself for a few days now. So, the new poll asks what your least favorite part of the...

New Poll

Number five was the biggest douche. Awesome. Now, by request, the new poll asks who you think the best Simpsons voice actor is. I omitted both Yeardley Smith and Nancy Cartwright because they each only do one character (if you count Marge and all of her relatives as one character, which, vocally, I do). Anyway, my vote goes to Hank Azaria, mostly because of Bumblebee Man....

New Poll!

It's finally time for a new poll. First, however, the results from the last poll. It turns out that the politician you'd most like to see hit by a sea bass is Hillary Clinton. That's not too much of a surprise. Strangely, however, Bill Richardson came in second. I didn't expect that at all. Why does everyone have to hate on the Mexican? Second, I have to give the new poll some context. After being gone for several weeks, L-dawg came back this weekend. Mr. Utah was also in town so, needless to say, we drank. At around five o'clock...

New Poll! and a Rant About Those Young Whipper Snappers

Ok, it's been a while but, at the request of TheExpat, I've posted a new poll. But first, the results from the previous poll. It turns out that the thing the that you're most looking forward to about the summer is . . . warmth, which got 36 percent of the votes. That's not really surprising--even I, an admitted winter lover, was getting tired of the sub-thirty-degree weather. Second place, with 32 percent, was the new Harry Potter book. Neither of those is surprising, but what's mildly surprising is how heavily you guys favored those two: the next closest vote...

Great News and a New Poll

It's almost as if today hadn't happened. I spent the whole day recovering from last night--man, I was worthless today. In any event, I'm back amongst the living now and, I suspect, will be back at 100 percent efficiency tomorrow. Which is good, because I've got an insane amount of work to do. I've gotta be better about staying in touch with my friends. Thankfully, the blogosphere has kept me in touch with some friends, and IM fills other gaps, but I've really gotta step up the phone calls. So, if you get a random phone call from me just...

New Poll

Alright, in a strange twist of irony, the best Journey video isn't by Journey at all. In an amazing landslide, the video for Don't Stop Believin' won, even though it was apparently put together by some drunk college kids. What does that say about Journey? That they suck. Anyway, it's time for a new poll. This time, you get to voice your opinion on what sucks worse. Personally, I'm voting for finals because, really, I'd rather be doing anything else in the world than spending 12+ hours a day studying....

Maybe This Will Make Donnie Shut the Fuck Up (AKA: Another New Poll)

Gandalf by a landslide. Moving right along. At Donnie's request, I am now asking you to help decide, once and for all, which is the best Journey video. Your choices are as follows: Open Arms (Live) Faithfully Chain Reaction Why Can't This Night Go on Forever Separate Ways and Don't Stop Believin' Personally, I don't think anything can top Separate Ways. The keyboard on the wall and the drum kit made out of trash cans, in addition to the ridiculous premise (some woman walking around for no apparent reason) puts that video over the top. But, as always, you should...

New Poll and Save the Cheerleader . . .

Just watched the three-hour Heroes marathon on NBC. It was pretty much awesome. Heroes is definitely my favorite new show - I like it even more than Studio 60, which has yet to gel. Spoiler warning (highlight to read): What the fuck is up with Sylar? My theory is that he's like Peter - he can take other people's abilities, although he retains them. Or maybe he just has them all naturally. Regardless of how he got the powers, he's displayed telekenesis (which we haven't seen anyone else display), instantaneous healing, and flight or teleportation. Pretty awesome. Peter is becoming...

New Poll!

None of you seem to agree with me that "Wonderful Tonight" is the worst song ever. Rather, you decided that "My Humps" earned that dubious title. The song got about 30% of the votes. In a close second was "Popozao," with all it's Brazillian ass-shaking suckitude. It got about 24% of the vote. Third was anything involving super-douche Fred Durst with about 18% of the vote. An interesting question is who would win in a douche-off: Durst or K-Fed. Personally, I bet Durst is an even bigger douche, but it might be close. In fourth place with 12% was "Hollaback...

New Poll!

Given this picture: 36.36% of you guys think that number 5 is the biggest douchebag. I'd have to say that I agree. In second place was 6 with 24.24%. Number 7 was third with 15.15%. Number 8 was fourth with 9.09%. The others, while extraordinarilly douchy, were not douchy enough to overturn the extreme douchebaggery of Number 5. You know what that means - time for a new poll. This one comes as a result of my driving around Madison listening to The Lake. The other day, when "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton came on, I realized a few things....

Another Fucking Poll!

Ok, so "fuck" is the best curse word. No surprises. Let's move on. Ok, first, consider this picture (which I got from the cool and funny blog Confessions of a Litigious Mind): Now, if you're anything like me, you're thinking "Holy motherfucking shit! There are a lot of douchebags in that picture!" I know, I was blown away by it at first, too. But here's the thing. Using the picture below to identify each specific douchebag, vote on which one you think is the biggest. I know -- it's hard to pick just one, but I have faith in you!...

New Poll Question

But first, the results from the last poll. The fad that the majority of you wish was over: Uggs, with 21.74%. In second place, up-turned collars. Tied for 3rd, being charged for ranch and pretending U2 doesn't suck. No one seemed to have a problem with men wearing pink, which i find surprising. Note: i disqualified radio stations on "random" because Katherine vote for it approximately 18 times, thereby ruining the poll. Thanks a lot, Katherine. For the next poll, i've taken a bit of a different course: What is your favorite meteorological phenomenon? Make sure to weigh in. And...
