ROFLMFAO!!!

Actually, not really doing that. But I did smile a lot (more than all other smiles in past 2 days combined) and had some good chuckles. Thanks.

Evo:
I consider that a pretty big compliment. Now are we going to have to send some attractive woman over there to tickle you?

You forgot to include "Dr" Michael Bisconti's reason to vote for a woman...

How did you conduct these polls? What were the margins of error? Why haven't you shown your work? Do you want us to take your word for it, based solely on your authority as either a god-being or a god-being's messenger, that this is a true and accurate presentation of the facts? What sort of fools do you take use for, theists?

The new phrase for 21st century America - "Yes, but..."

Now that you're newly married, you'd better be careful about even quoting that anti-woman stuff. While we're at it, does Mrs. Klaudzenwatta know how you spend your non-bedroom time?

chappy:
FYI: The margins of error were 100%.

Philly:
Thanks for pointing out that I inadvertently came up with the slogan for the Millennials. If the next generation can figure out a way to make a smiley out of it so that they don't have to spell "yes" or "but," it could stick around for years to come.

As it happens, my computer is in the bedroom, so she gets to watch...

On a similarly smutty note, I returned to work today to find that the new internet software they've installed blocks No More Hornets, believing it to be chock-full of porn. I was confused, to say the least. Where are you hiding it?

Where was this poll?

Wait! I'll bet I know. It was over at that great new podcast site, Another Goddamned Podcast, right?

I gotta check that out more often. Maybe everyone else should too?
