It's time to reveal the results of our first week's polling! This has been an incredibly popular addition to Possumblog, with almost three people participating!
Remember, these are highly scientific polls conducted using actual computers, so you know they're accurate and reliable.
ON to the results (in each case, the percentage is followed by the number of votes):
Who is your favorite Possumblog Industries employee?
Kit the Wonder Cat 11% 2
Jimmy, from next door 6% 1
Chet the E-Mail Boy 28% 5
Big Luther 11% 2
Miss Butch 0% 0
Miss Wanda 0% 0
Pat Slagging 0% 0
Ernesto, in Billing 6% 1
Jimmy Neil 0% 0
Clew 0% 0
Norah O'Donnell 39% 7
Ibrahim Malwad 0% 0
Of course Norah is your favorite! Do you actually think I would allow anyone else to win!? And by the way, quit trying to give Chet an ego boost. He's already asking for name-brand corn flakes.
What scares you most?
Spiders 6% 1
Snakes 6% 1
Heights 19% 3
Nancy Pelosi 69% 11
Mind control rays 0% 0
Feet 0% 0
Again--this is an incontrivertible scientific fact--Nancy Pelosi scares nearly 70% of Americans!
What letter does your favorite expletive begin with?
F 8% 1
G 0% 0
S 25% 3
M 17% 2
D 33% 4
L 0% 0
H 0% 0
2 8% 1
X 8% 1
Well, I'll be D--------!
The next one is a bit less tongue in cheek--
Who is the first person you ask advice from about personal problems?
Your spouse 60% 9
Your mom 0% 0
Your dad 0% 0
A close friend 13% 2
A coworker 0% 0
Someone who writes a blog 27% 4
I'm not sure if someone was just messing around, or if it actually means something. I guess if you're a regular blog reader, you actually might know of someone who can give you advice that you can't get from a friend. Odd.
AND THE ONE YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING ON--
Who is your favorite Surrealist?
. 0% 0
Inside 11% 1
Who is your favorite Surrealist? 0% 0
>123.91 11% 1
Susan Anton 78% 7
This one was a shoo-in, too. Everyone loves her bold use of color and incongruencies that rival that of Dali himself.
Thanks for playing along, and be sure to participate in the next round of polls. If there is a next round!
D*&^, I didn't even see some of these!
Posted by: Jordana at March 15, 2007 04:03 PMThe poll rotation deal seems a bit lacking--it's more of a random thing rather than a straight rotation, which means even if you obsessively hit "reload," you might still miss one.
