Here are the results from my first ever useless survey. Fifteen people completed
the survey, which leads me to my next point: the number to the left of the responses
indicates how many people gave that particular response for that particular question.
No real surprises here, though I did have a few people ask me what a palindrome was.
As far as name fabrication goes, the inspiration for "Sasquatchia" should be obvious. Reeroo, however, needs explaining: On my way back from my spring break trip with Amanda and Melenda, we passed by a Red Roof Inn on I-75. Two of the letters (the "d" and the "f") were burnt out (this was at night), leaving a sign that said "Re Roo Inn". I added the second "e" in "Reeroo" so people would prounce it the way I had pronounced it when I saw that sign.
The Emperor is one evil mo-fo, but I had a good suggestion for an additional choice: Keyser Soze from The Usual Suspects. After I published the survey I thought of Warden Norton from The Shawshank Redemption, which is probably what I would have picked had I been a casual survey-filler-outer. A true jackastard--and the fact that he's a "religious" man makes him all the more evil.
Each of these decades has something good and something bad to offer (at least according to my musical tastes). A lot of my favorite music groups hit their respective peaks in the 70's, but I have favorites from all of those decades.
So according to this, everybody is either enthusiastic or confused. I guess the contemplative and sleepy bitter people are a dying breed.
"Capaberra" is the only response of all the questions that received zero votes. What's the deal, people? I mean, rodents are food too.
All I can say is that I know 12 people who have not seen the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special. In all fairness, though, I believe I'd hop in the shower after smelling chum. Chum, for those of you who don't know (and I encountered a few), is that nasty fish-blood-rotted-gut soup that they use to lure sharks (watch Jaws sometime).
The two "I Touch Myself" choices are certainly valid, but watching cooked food leave my plate would be out of this world--and would probably be enough to make me soil myself.
Choices #1,3, and 4 I had heard of, but the othere three I looked up at www.blaxploitation.com. And for the record, I actually own the original Shaft (as opposed to the recent version with Samuel L. Jackson). That movie, while entertaining on a certain level, is so...blaxploitive. One of the best lines has to be the last line in that movie, when Shaft is talking to a fellow officer about closing a case. "Close it yourself, shitty!" he replies, followed by his beautifully fake laughter. Classic.
