It’s 7:30 in the morning. You are a summer school teacher. You show up at your classroom door to find two parents waiting for you. They want to know why their son is only getting a 40% in your class. You sit down with them an explain that, basically, he is a delinquent. The parents [...]
Well… it’s about that time again… time to start selecting the best posts of the year. We’re going to cover the first quarter (Jan-Mar) of 2005, but I have to warn you… this was not a very good stretch, apparently, and I had to work hard to find posts worthy of your voting. January 14: Beef: [...]
Well… it’s that time — time to crown Pete’s best post of 2004. It was a good year — over 700 posts (almost 2 a day) and some of them actually didn’t suck. Color me surprised. Anyhow… let’s just finish this up, okay? February 14 Ode to being Single Sure, sure. We all need the self-loathing pity-parties [...]
It was suggested that, on account of the lack of quality in the fourth quarter of 2004, that I run a “wildcard” competition between the runners up of the other three polls. I thought this was a good idea. I also added the Intelligent Design post, as it seems to be the only Q4 post [...]
The Q2 poll is closed now, and I think both Ho vs. Hoe and They Call Me a Liberal earned the right to go on and compete for Post of the Year. I’m sure you realize just how very exciting that is for those two posts. I’m happy for them. The third quarter of 2004, however, [...]
Well… my Ode to being Single won overwhelmingly last week as I began the task of picking my best post of the year. I bet this one will be a favorite for the final Best of 2004 poll. New week, new poll… you’re excited, aren’t you? I knew you would be. Let’s get to the [...]
Well, the “Peace Through Superior Firepower” shirt handily won the last poll… so I tossed up a new one. Still on TShirts… but this time they’re shirts from BustedTees… here are your contestants: • No, seriously. Who let the fucking dogs out? (Link) • Jersey Girls ain’t Trash (trash gets picked up) (Link) • New Mexico: Cleaner than [...]
Last week we had a small (read: freaking huge) hosting problem, and lost a LOT of data. Part of that lots of data was every poll that I’ve done since the beginning of the polling. Whoops. I’ve resurrected the polling engine, but we need some new polls to fill it up. Coincidently, I also find myself [...]
Little did I know that the population of the world had such a desire to share their opinion about jello-filled pools. The Jello Poll garnered 106 votes. Red gathered the most votes, but I regret to inform you all that that’s the wrong answer. The correct answer to: “QUICK! Imagine a hottie jumping into a [...]
Well, it ended up being tied, so I cast the tie-breaking vote. The reason for my decision is as follows: I don’t care who you are, if Carrot Top is yammering on, you won’t zone-out, staring longingly at any part of him. Jessica Simpson, on the other hand, provides many options for gazing as she [...]
