Poll question: Funniest thing to follow "You selected:" after you vote on a poll?
Edited on Tue Apr-27-04 03:53 PM by undisclosedlocation
This came up when I ran my "Most important figure of the 20th Century?" poll and FDRrocks pointed out the incongruity of seeing "You selected: Hitler" on the computer screen.

Most of the following come from a past thread on funniest words. Obviously I could have filled all 10 slots with terrible things happening to Bush and his neocon puppetmasters but I think the first one covers the possibilities nicely.

Register "Other" or "Robb is a dingbat" votes by replying. Heck, you can see those after "You selected:" a dozen times a day.

Edit: left out a word

1. I selected handcuffs...
... I really wanted to select Mike Hunt but I thought the handcuffs were more impoortant than the sexual innuendo.

...aside: I would have let that go without comment but I am trying to get to 300 today. Newyawker missed my 200 milestone so I have to get her attention at 300.

8. WHAT DO YOU NEED WITH 300 POSTS!? (heh!)
Ok, probably time to let this go. It's pretty obvious that I botched the original subject line; funny idea though.

Good luck on getting 300!:)

14. No reflection on Fenris, but one each for Johnny Depp & Janeane Garofalo
would probably go over better. Though the original post subject line would have to be "best" rather than "funniest" (which might have been an idea anyway, considering the Bush one)

13. Well it would certainly get folks' attention!
Maybe admins would go for this (I mean with some kind of message, eg "if you aren't working every day to see Kerry elected." Naaaaaah, guess not)

15. Every thread should get to live 24 hours, even ones where I botched the
subject line. :P
