Thursday Cliffhanger Poll, May 4th 2006
posted Thursday, May 04, 2006 - 01:40 PM (#34482)

I was granted permission by the noble mkinyon to create this week's TCP. I hope you all enjoy it, though I warn you that what follows may contain massive sleep deprivation.

So we're now acquainted with the Middle Pangaeans, and I think it can generally be stated that they're pretty awesome. But Jon is still in the most dire of straits!



POLL: What will become of Our Hero?
 
 0% (0) The Pangaeans will grow impatient and fulfill their Trail Mix threat. Glock will consequentally get a fetching new hat. Thank goodness! Maybe now we'll be able to finally see what's happening with Fineas and Diablo.
 
 18% (4) Jon will launch into a long monologue of self-pity and loathing. Toshi's rough exterior will melt away as her Pangaean heart is set aflutter by the Jon's lyrical self-hate. Birds will sing, flowers will bloom. In the end, love conquers all.
 
 68% (15) Jon, by some cosmic accident, will create the dimension destroying device. However, it won't be machine... it will be a person. And his name will be Shazam Twix.
 
 9% (2) Hey, wait a minute... How does a handsome fellow like Griff manage to have the Knack? I mean, if I were a girl I would want to sleep with him. What gives?
 
 4% (1) The Pangaeans will start to feel bad about mistreating Jon and take him to that pub we saw in the first comic of the series. Yes, this is the beer option. Pick it if you must.

You know, before I saw your request in my inbox to handle this week's poll, I had actually prepared a bit. Now you're probably expecting the next sentence to be something like "It's amazing how similar our ideas were". But that would be a lie. My half-baked poll option plans were absolute dreck compared to this gem. Well done!

You always say that, even though you know it's not true. Your polls are, to this day, the very greatest of polls.

I'm surprised how popular the 'Shazam Twix - Destroyer of Galaxies' option is. I myself voted for the Jon/Toshi option, since the idea of two star cross'd lovers united in their mutual self-loathing is appealing to me. But I guess anything that involves the poetry of Shazam Twix deserves appropriate attention.

I was ready to pick Jon + Toshi until I read the bit about Shazam Twix.

I always loved Shazam Twix.

I have a confession - I never actually read the poll options. Usually I barely make it through the question or statement at the top. I think alcohol has finally reduced my attention span to a negligible level.

This is the perfect time for Phillip to unleash his brand new telepathic poll delivery system.

Well, the people have spoken. Though I wonder if there's room for Shazam Twix in the New Goats Order. I certainly miss him, but I do wonder if we'll ever actually hear from him again.

I think that's how Diablo will single-wingedly defeat the Truhulu: he'll tell them a Shazam Twix story until their ears (or whatever they use for hearing) start bleeding.
