Now, see, this is how you do a poll right. Put Orlando Bloom on there and everybody's happy. :D

Seriously, all of those threads are tempting me to run away screaming.

Or to start singing.

"The hills are aliiiive...."


Hey, what's everybody got that club in their hands for? And why are you looking at ME like that?...

I was considering retaliating by starting a thread based on 80's music, but I didn't...

ETA - Just what exactly is a petard, and how does one hoist someone by it?

It's hoist by one's own petard, not hoisted.

A petard was a kind of old school bomb filled with gunpowder, I'm going to say circa
17th c. maybe.

Kids, this episode of Sesame Street was brought to you by the number Pedantic Painintheass.

I thought it was akin to a leotard or lederhosen. I was enjoying the image of an Austrian nincompoop being hoisted on high by his lederhosen. I sit corrected.

Somewhere in my mind... it echoes in here ...
it has come to mah attention that in order to conduct this here poll you started a new thread... does that mean you will abide by the outcome of said poll and we will enjoy seeing said outcome live on vid cam? The answer to this has much to do to sway how I shall vote... so I said...

...should have to wear clothes made from green, paisely-print draiperies.

Okay, now we're right back to the 80's again...

ETA - I thought "petard" was yet another term for a certain male body part. But then again, I'm not what you'd describe as "normal."
