We need a break from the you-know-what threads. Do this now:

[saltpoint]

Below are groups of things. Pick the one you like the best.

A tenth slot, OTHER, is for things you want instead, so long as they don't mention you-know-what. Everything else is game. Have at it.

POLL:

Vote for one of the ten groups of stuff below or die in the attempt.

[AX10]

1. I voted for "other"

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=1198948&mesg_id=1198948

[madeline_con]

2. Instead....

Free nachos, clean beaches, purple skittles, huge sunflowers and time off.

[saltpoint]

22. A very good list. The purple skittles, I feel, deserve a thread of their

own.

[Gman]

3. THis does not mention Jason Leopold or Will Pitt

Please do not K&R

[Inland]

4. I don't know Mike Gravel, but "olive groves" stirred a memory.

So that's what I picked.

[saltpoint]

23. Mike Gravel is a former Democratic Senator from Alaska, of all places.

He recently announced that he would be a candidate for the White House in 2008.

So far it doesn't appear to have electrified the nation, but I guess there's still time.

Anybody who likes olive groves is ok by me, Inland.

5. Before voting and reading the answers: Thank you, Thank you.

[saltpoint]

25. Hi, northamericancitizen. Yep. I thought we needed just a short

break from the wild and woolly Rove wars.

I'd serve cold beer and chips, too, if I could figure how to do it through cyberspace.

[BeatleBoot]

6. I'm a sucker for those chick vampires

You know the good lookin' ones.

[saltpoint]

26. It's a key demographic, no question.

A real switchtripper for a lot of folks.

On the broader subject of vampires, and this could be just me hallucinating, but I always felt that Richard Perle is a vampire.

He has that ashen, remote aspect about him. I more than half expect long bilateral fangs to emerge from his faintly bloody lips at any moment during an interview.

[Spazito]

7. Damn, too many choices so I have to go with other

Grandchildrens' laughter, sand with the sandwiches, the Shirelles, memories.

[saltpoint]

27. The Shirelles! Damn, yes! I want to be at your next group picnic.

[northamericancitizen]

8. Belfry: love this word. Tom Waits brought it to me.

And bats: I find them cute.

9. Dwight Twilley koi pond crayons tubular bells ramparts filo sweet peas tin

[saltpoint]

28. That is the list of someone with an extraordinary ear for words.

If you are not already a poet please consider becoming one.

That is a tasty phonetic list of images.

:thumbsup:

[omega minimo]

34. Love your lists. Had to wordplay. RU12?

Yummy praise. Much obliged.

[stop the bleeding]

10. scrimshaw, folklore, handgrenades, new language, buttons

yep thats me

[Tiggeroshii]

11. My dad's Q45

It's older(1992), but fast as hell...

[saltpoint]

12. All you people got some good stuff goin' here. You're talkin' and

you're rockin'.

[omega minimo]

15. I Stand With Old Crusoe United And Everything He Stands For

'cept oysters :puke:






:bounce:

[saltpoint]

20. Yeah, the oysters is a major sticking point.

We can still be pals, oysters or no.

____

Nice to see you on these boards again, omega minimo.

[northamericancitizen]

13. Kick and R for we need to keep our head and soul busy.

While we are waiting for Fitz, the ring Master who has our unanimous trust, I make it my priority to kick out all threads displaying pettiness and shady intentions.

P.S. I also love the sun on my hair and being surprised.

lise

[omega minimo]

14. The sun comes up every day-- How can you be surprised?

:hi: :evilgrin:






(btw, that was a lovely post)

[northamericancitizen]

17. To be surprised : something already known , seen, heard or felt

presented in a different way, harmoniously.

Here I know I should explain my definition of harmony but I don't feel like it.

The short definition (from my very personal dictionary): truth.


lise

[omega minimo]

18. Oh

So the sunrise COULD be surprising :hi:

[northamericancitizen]

19. Sure. Even if I expect and demand the sun to rise again it doesn't mean

I'll be able to admire it (clouds, sleeping late etc.)

When it hapenns (me witnessing sunrise)I appreciates the continuity of Life.

Gosh, I spent the last half hour writing and deleting.

Your simple question about a simple and predictable fact got me all mixed up for the search of an intelligent answer.lol

Good for me, I can laugh at myself.

Cheers.

16. Does the Duster have a Hemi?

A 426?? :-)

[saltpoint]

21. If you want it to it does and if you don't, it won't. It's a Duster

pre-destined to match your specific requirements.

In some models, however, you also get the person of your choice, naked, in the back seat.

Ok, I know, a Duster can be a bit cramped, but we all must make sacrifices in the world.

[porphyrian]

24. I reject the premise of the poll.

Your evil attempt to limit my options has failed once aga....argh!

[saltpoint]

29. LOL. I usually stick that 'OTHER' option in there so people can roam

free.

DUers are often at their best when they have unlimited miles on the car.

[JNelson6563]

30. what's with all the lounge posts in GD lately?

:shrug:

[saltpoint]

32. I posted it there on purpose to undermine freedom and liberty in

America!

[Dave Reynolds]

31. Kudzu. The other white meat.

:silly:

[texanwitch]

33. It tastes like chicken, yes it really does.

:P

[bertha katzenengel]

35. recommended - fantastic poll, the best ever
