I don’t have any posters. But my roommate at college got some and I don’t want everyone to think I like his things, so now I have to put up my own posters to express myself. I already got a Jurassic Park poster. ---

Not being a woman, I didn’t vote in the poll. I can say that I want to get motivated to work out I’d rather listen to Austrian Death Machine than look at a poster of Ahnuld. ---

I already got a Jurassic Park poster. This is only acceptable if it’s a raptor giving the viewer a thumbs up. ---

They sure would if it’s one of his early ones where he’s fluffing IT up with Jack Lelane. ---

It’s actually [this poster](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51nGxicJv6L._SL500_AA300_.jpg) from the Genesis game. I already had this. I didn’t buy a new JP poster. ---
