Well the one staple of MPSIMS is the “Whats your favorite…” type threads. I figger we could kill a dozen birds with one stone. Usually the fave threads get long and people list like 15 things and the entire thread becomes a big cluster fuck not worth reading. In that vein lets keep all the responses to a single choice. I know that will require some soul searching, but that makes it all worth while. Maybe I’m being an anal engineer here, but humor me. Lets see how many topics I can come up with.

“I hope life isn’t a big joke, because I don’t get it,” Jack Handy
“Sherlock Holmes once said that once you have eliminated the
impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be
the answer. I, however, do not like to eliminate the impossible.
The impossible often has a kind of integrity to it that the merely improbable lacks.”
– Douglas Adams’s Dirk Gently, Holistic Detective
