    Re: Are there far too many polls on VBForums now?

    The thing that gets me with all these polls, is that the post never seems to think about all of the possible things, and inevitably leaves off the choice that best applies to me. Take this poll for instance, where the heck is the Rubber Duck option? I mean, to leave that off is just crazy. I'd vote Next Tuesday, but that doesn't accurately reflect how I feel though. So now I'm not sure how to vote. It's like the Republican primaries... none of the options are really palatable, so you just have to give them the sniff test and pick the one that is the least offensive.

    I'd skip the sniff test in Santorum's case.

    I can't believe the racist bigotry in this thread. Honestly, what have the polls ever done to you? They're hard working folks who do the jobs you and I don't want to. Also, they have the best dancers, apart from the ones from lapland.

    Make as many mistakes as you can as quickly as you can. We want to make sure that we make a great enough number of mistakes in a given amount of time so that we can be successful.

    I, currently, am totally fed up with sushi. Downright ready to explode, even.

    I find it strange that this thread - in which the OP states there are too many polls on VBF - has a poll attached to it.
    Do not read this sentence.
    You read that last one, didn't you?
    Darn. You now read the previous two.

    Well, I didn't take it back, but it was downloaded without incident, and this thread is awaiting further input.

    I'm bi-directional....as long as I'm fed I don't care from what direction it originates.

    Yes...one of the many things this entire planet would be better off without.

    Although, if I'm forced to eat sushi I find it goes best between the patties of a double cheeseburger.

    Re: Are there far too many polls on VBForums now?

    Not quite my point, really. I wrote that while still suffering from a sushi hangover almost 24 hours after a sushi-fest. Frankly, though I hadn't tried any until just a few years ago, it's now my favorite food. So I'm of the opposite opinion.
