Choose Your Own Adventure Series: Poll The First


Sunset at Watercolor
Originally uploaded by Laura Travels
You settle into the couch after your long day of work and having just finished a very pleasing dinner. You glance out the window and see that the sun is setting and determine that you should go for a nice sunset stroll. You're at peace with this decision when you hear a faint noise that doesn't sit quite right. You think, "Was that a baby crying?" You stand and move toward where you thought you'd heard the noise. You hear it again, but now you think that it's someone calling out for help. You venture into the bathroom where the noise seems to be coming from and then you hear the voice seemingly creeping up through the pipes say, "HEEEELP!!! I'M STUCK!!!!"
"WHO is that? And where the heck are you?!" you shout into your bathroom sink.
"Oh! I'm so glad you came, I've been in here about 20 minutes calling for you! It's Dave! I'm stuck!" Dave is your semi-obnoxious semi-hilarious friend from next door. Dave then says, "Dude, I was trying to climb through the sewer pipes to give you the scare of a lifetime, but then I took a wrong turn, and well, I'm stuck. I didn't think this through." Dave then starts crying uncontrollably, and shouts for you to help him once more. What a crazy happenstance!
So what do you do?
Call a demolition crew to bust him on outta there!
Call 911, DUH!
Begin frantically flushing tools down the toilet so he can break his way out.
Send your prize gold fish in after him to assess the sitch.
Laugh heartily.
Head out the door for that sunset stroll. Ah...

These fit into songs somehow?

Sheep Pessimism/Optimism Test...


Am I Cute or What?
Originally uploaded by 1890farmer
Do the sheep always make it over the fence when you count sheep?
Yes
No, sometimes they run full speed into the fence.
Yeah, but sometimes they high-center and then struggle their way over.


As opposed to the glass half empty/half full test. The sheep get over or not.

Phone Call of Death!

Sandy Galloway
Jennifer Cofax
Sage Ramirez

Again, I'm never sure how you would end up in that situation, but it's interesting to me to see who y'all would pick based on their names alone. (Aside from John Voight the actor, I know of no real people with these names, just so you know.) I'm so weird.

Ok, it's time to let the internet choose our next question, I'll search for a random word like tinsel, and we'll see what the first question I see happens to be... "What is tinsel?" (That's not quite as original as the "stitches" search ended up.)
Tinsel is angel hair made into ropes.
Tinsel is ugly.
Tinsel is unfriendly.
A weapon used in Christmas-time crimes?
It's derived from the French word for glimmer!
Tinsel goes on Christmas trees. (The boring-person answer.)

Abstract FIGHT!



Originally uploaded by meadows
Who wins in a fight between the following:
Idealism
Romanticism
Resistentialism
Siderism
Advertisementism


I had to look most of them up. Don't worry. As for advertisementism just go to Rand-O-Mania to see a post on that blog about it. Resistentialism is a belief that inanimate objects hate humans. Siderism is a belief that stars play a role in our lives.
