If you opted to send “Other” to Niue permanently, did you have a particular politician in mind?
If you opted to send “Other” to Niue permanently, did you have yourself in mind?
Yes, I’d love to walk away and live there for the rest of my life
No, that’s not what I was thinking

Who grows plants when you can just pick up flowers at the supermarket?
Thanks for fabulous ideas for naming my next dog/cat
Movie runtimes should be given on DVD cases, on IMDB and in studio publicity as
Minutes only
Hours AND minutes, for crissakes, like normal people discuss time (whoever says, “I’m going down to the gym for 137 minutes”?)
Listening to a very loud woman spout right-wing conspiracy theories non-stop for 8 hours is:
Excruciatingly painful
Lots of fun, because I would troll her.
Very educational.
Very “educational”.
Torture. Please just end my life now.
Lively, interesting, and exciting!
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up!
Follow up to the air guitar poll from way back on Nov. 15. My air bass is:
Electric
Upright
Washtub
Depends on the music
Fish
Other
I knew of the existence of Niue before reading the Niue poll.
Yes
No
Niue poll ?!? The what now?!?
I’d bet that Mean Mr. Mustard hadn’t heard of Niue either, he just fired up the Google Machine to search for a remote island.
Suppose that physics worked a little bit differently and carbon emissions had the effect of cooling the planet (2-3 degrees Celsius cooler than the norm) rather than heating it 2-3 degrees C beyond the norm. Would you consider that to be better than the current situation?
Yes, I’d prefer global cooling
No, the real-life global warming is still better
It’s time to change the clocks, yet again.
You think we should:
change the clocks 1 more time, then never again (daylight saving time forever)
starting now never change the clocks again (standard time forever)
keep changing the clocks twice a year
why don’t we change clocks even more often to keep it interesting?
Back to the Blues Traveler “Hook” lyrics…
I was familiar with the lyrics, and, yeah, ha ha
I was familiar with the lyrics, and, whatever
I was not familiar with the lyrics, and I looked them up, and, ha ha
I was not familiar with the lyrics, and I looked them up, and, whatever
I was not familiar with the lyrics, and I couldn’t be arsed to look them up
I prefer Blue Swede’s “Hooked on a Feeling” lyrics (Ooga-Chaka, Ooga Ooga Ooga-Chaka…)
Until you looked the lyrics up, what percentage of the words to “Hook” could you actually understand while listening to the song?
Most of them
About half
Other than the chorus just a few words here and there
Enunciate, you bastard!
Theological dispute: What does the word “usury” mean to you?
Charging predatorily high interest rates
Charging any interest at all
Has everybody heard about the bird?
Yes, the bird is the word.
No, I have not yet heard about the bird.
I don’t get this reference.
