What topic do we need a new poll about? -- Ideas gathering

Right now there are in-progress polls I have started on these topics:

War/Military Movies
Male Westerns Stars
Female Westerns Stars

Not quite polls but might as well be on:

Emmy nominees for Dramas
Favorite all-time TV shows

================================

What are some other topics that need polls to while away these lonely summer hours?

A few possibilities:

Best musicians by instrument
Most annoying Pop Culture personas
Best of the rising stars under 20 years of age

What are some other burning issues?

How about a poll about what to poll about?

Magnificent idea! See the OP for example. :slight_smile:

We might try to get into some Godel – Escher – Bach recursive themes even.

We could just make this into a Junk Thread if bad goes to worse…

Think outside the box, here… how about a poll of things we don’t want to have polls about?

That might be a fun list, for sure!

Odors I have come to hate, maybe?

Speaking of which, how often in movies (or TV) do you try to imagine how that scene must smell?

My brain hurts!

Multiple choice poll of edible things currently growing in your yard.
I’ll leave it unsaid if this is a poll we want, or one we don’t want.

That might depend on how much of the Animal Kingdom would be included. :wink:

Don’t laugh, but a list of possible reasons one’s brain might hurt could be a topic worth exploring.

Lobotomy? Failed suicide attempt? Falling parts of spacecraft? Sudden change in atmospheric pressure?

We need more “worst” polls than “best”. Its way more interesting.

Westerns and war movies, even fave tv shows? Sorry, but I can’t think of more boring topics. After a few pages it is not enticing to join in.

Good point.
Last week, a turtle dug a hole for a nest in my backyard. The day after, it was mostly filled in. I suspect there are eggs in it. I live on a lake, and there are multiple turtles that live there and like to sun themselves nearby.

Yesterday, a duck laid an egg in my side yard. Not in a nest or anything, just in the grass kinda near my mango tree. This morning, the egg was gone. I suspect either an iguana (mixed messages online about whether they eat duck eggs) or a possum.

This morning, a duck laid an egg in my side yard. Presumably the same duck. This time, under the mango tree. Guess we’ll see how this goes.

Then there’s the ackee tree. And a few random herbs. A few strawberries. And a little lettuce that hasn’t quite wilted in the summer heat, somehow.

As I’ve said elsewhere, if you wanna do a favorite TV series poll, you have to break it down by decade and genre.

Possible genres: Action/Adventure, Drama/Thriller, Sitcom, Game Show, Talk Show, Miniseries, Documentary (I watch A LOT of those).

Otherwise, how could I possibly compare The Sopranos to **Hogan’s Heroes ** or World War One?

If the question involves the shows you like most then the genre and decade aren’t major barriers to your liking them, as I see it.

Judging them against some genre standard or decade norm (whatever that might be) could involve aspects of your taste other than plain liking the show as entertainment or information.

But I have no problem with the level of depth you suggest – as long as somebody else does the grunt work to set it/them up to begin with. :slight_smile:

Do you refuse to vote in this poll?

Are you illiterate?

Do you have trouble making minor decisions?

:smiley: Love them!

Man, you really love polls.

I’d like to see a poll about which child stars have aged or developed professionally the best (and the worst would be interesting too). Doogie Howser? Opie? Blossom? Punky Brewster?

Whether liberals or conservatives pee in the shower more.

Ohh, big piece of brain hangin out of m’head…

This one has potential! Why not start a pre-poll thread for nominees?

Some ideas I could list:

Jodie Foster
Kurt Russell
Elizabeth Taylor (if you want the all-time type of list)
Stevie Wonder

Might be good to have a lower limit for their current ages. Maybe 40?
