POLL: Gratuitous Poll

This is what happens when I'm bored.

If only it were that simple...

The sad thing is, I'm up at 1.30 in the morning to vote on it.

Look, you antioccumist, things are that simple. Anyone would think you're married or something.

In Response to unFalln (#15627):

antioccumist

Did you, perhaps, mean anti-Occamist [m-w.com]?

Or maybe you meant Antioch-umist [antioch.edu]?

In Response to zamphir (#15628):

Logic leads me to believe that the distinguished representative of a non-descript area of the world was calling you an anti-Occamist...

Of course, the last time that I trusted my own abilities of logic, it was my Intro to Logic class, and I got a C+ on the test... so... umm... this is the part where I close my mouth, walk away, and try to find me a bean burrito.

In Response to Drakonius (#15630):

exCUSE me? WHERE are you calling nondescript, precisely?

This poll moved me. Not to say the other polls have not but this one did more so. I just got back from the 7/11 with a nice hot bean burrito. Mmmm...

What she said. With a VENGEANCE.

"The sad thing is, I'm up at 1.30 in the morning to vote on it."

The sad thing is..I'm up at 3:50 in the morning. Nevermind..I'm a student and classes are over. This is expected.

In Response to Lonely Goatherd (#15639):

The sad thing is, an anonymous poster thinks someone cares.

In Response to unFalln (#15640):

I'm often "up" at 3:50 and other random times during the night.

My "life partner" (hehehe she hates that phrase. oh crap, so do I, my girlfriend then) doesn't appreciate it so much.

In Response to tor (#15643):

Well really, who can beat us 3 (you, me and Tynic) We were all up at 4am chatting together here!

In Response to tynic (#15632):

I thought everything in Australian pretty much looked the same?

I mean, that's what Mad Max and Priscilla, Queen of the Desert teaches us.

I think that gas station burrito will cause a fair amount of "movement" itself.

Good to see that there are a lot of people aware that cats are secretly far more intelligent than they're letting on.

Mine are just trying to figure out the opposable thumb thing. They've already worked out cooperative hunting, and how to turn a chest of drawers into a staircase. If they ever get the can opener working, they're going to kill me in my sleep.

In Response to rmharman (#15665):

I voted for something else, but as long as I have my current cat, I will always have round doorknobs.

In Response to rmharman (#15665):

I didn't vote for that, because if cats were even MORE intelligent than they're letting on they'd already be the dominant species.

In Response to porcupine8 (#15691):

And your proof otherwise is....

?

I had a cat that understood English. One example is that he used to like to sit on the second tier of my computer desk, above the monitor. If I'd leave the room, he'd follow me unless I said "I'm coming back," "I'll be back," "Don't worry, I'll return," or some such similar thing. If the meaning wasn't similar to one of those, he'd follow me.

He could also teleport.

In Response to themysticalone (#15706):

Perhaps it was the tone with which you said these phrases. Did you say anything if you were not returning in short order?

In Response to zamphir (#15651):

I must bring it up again.

Obviously you haven't seen Bad Boy Bubby.

In Response to unFalln (#15710):

Obviously you haven't seen Bad Boy Bubby.

No, it's true.

But I've seen Muriel's Wedding, and Cosi [imdb.com], and why, I've even seen Crocodile Dundee 2.

So I'm an expert, I am.

In Response to Oedipa_Maas (#15707):

I'd use various tones (it became sort of an experiment). I'd also use the same tone, but say something meaningless such as, "Don't worry I'll meet bern soon," instead of, "Don't worry I'll return soon."

In Response to porcupine8 (#15691):

Are you insinuating that cats aren't the dominant species? I know a few cats who would violently disagree with you on that topic oh crap here they are I have to go now they don't like it when I use their computer.

In Response to tynic (#15632):

It HAS been too long since your continent ran into another one. Not really your fault, so we'll let it go.
