Your poll suggestions

Submitted by jake on May 18, 2007 - 11:58pm. ::

From time to time we've been updating the Poll over on the lower left of the site - mostly with non-PRTQ topics like the current one.

But I bet you've got some better ideas. What should we ask? What would be interesting, relevant, telling, funny or important to find out from folks here on the site?

The best polls are short and sweet - 2 to 6 choices or so.

In the meantime I've got to fire up the American Idol poll again now that we're down to Jordin vs Blake: http://www.americanidol.com

Met them both, side by side, and there was no competition....

Squidgy nose vs. Roman elegance
Southern tenor drawl vs. eloquent basso with profundo things to say
Broad gut vs. broad shoulders (this was 11 years ago...)

I'd take the latter anyday. There was just something commanding and presidential and powerful and sexy about Al that Bill couldn't hold a candle to in my books. Not that either of them asked...

Anyone read some of the entries where *every* *single* submission reads like a faux review on a book blurb? "Listening to Sally G's amazing insights and bubbling personality will revolutionize radio and cure cancer."

Dear Pollers:

I have met several contestants who claim to be the "little sister" in their family.
How about a poll asking, for example:

What is your birth order in your family of origin?

1. Oldest
2. Upper middle
3. Lower middle
4. youngest
5. too complicated

Dear Izzy - or whomever -

As I read the poll, it does not allow someone to have voted for more than 100 but fewer than 200 people.
What's with the discrimination?

How about a poll that asks the really tough questions like; Would you rather have hooks for hands or shovels or rakes? A nice follow up would be; What is your favorite Saved By The Bell Episode - A. Senior Skip Day, B. Jessie Does Speed, or C. Hippie Tries to Stop Shipment of Styrofoam to School Cafeteria? The answer; Senior Skip Day and Styrofobia are the same episode, I have to go with B.
