Poll and Miscellany

[thefourthvine]

Three things, almost entirely content free. (But one of them is a poll! There will be clicking, and that's always fun, right?)

I swear I will have actual content in this LJ again. Eventually. In the meantime -

1. Remember the poll? Um, this one? Thanks to everyone who took it, by the way, and I am slowly working my way through the comments, because they are meaty and thought-filled and fun. And I'm knee-deep in meta about it, but it's taken a strange turn. So I'm hoping that some of you will do my a favor, and run a poll like this one:
   
   [Poll #831564]
   
   Basically, I want you to ask your friends what archetype they think you are. (I've alphabetized the archetypes to make finding them easier.) And while you're here, please do pick mine; I'm truly curious to see if there's a difference between how I see myself and how others see me. (In this sense only. I'm not crazy.)
   
   Sadly, I don't have bribes to offer. But if you do run a poll like this, and you also drop me a link in the comments here, I will be forever grateful. And you will be furthering the cause of meta. (I know, I know, it's not precisely ever fan's dream, but - stay with me, here, okay?)
   
   
2. This is driving me insane, so - okay. I collect what I call genderswapped songs. Although, really, I should call them ungenderswapped songs - the song is covered by a singer of a different sex than the original one, but no gendered element of the song is changed. I have one song by Cam Clarke, from Inside Out, which is a whole CD of songs just like this. (The one I have is Son of a Preacher Man.) And I cannot find the whole CD anywhere. Does anyone have a copy of this? Or know where I can get a copy of this? I am experiencing the anguish of the thwarted collector, and it is not pretty.
   
   
3. This is more of a bonus item; I found it interesting. If any of you watch AMVs - and if you don't, why not? - you might want to take a look at this AMV-related survey.

What if a Canada goose and a hummingbird had a baby, which was then raised in a turtle village by a family of gorillas?

This may be the sort of fan I am as well, now that I think about it.

Also: omfg a recording of a boy singing "Son of a Preacher Man". [downloads liek whoa]

1. Biologists everywhere weep, develop nervous tics, and take up careers in accounting or religion.

2. Comedians everywhere resign, variously citing, "Too easy. Where's the challenge?" and "Goddamn it, when Mother Nature is funnier than I am, that's when I go into politics."

3. There is a mass migration of National Geographic photographers so severe that they ravage the film, battery, and native guide resources of three countries.

4. Fred Phelps blames fags. George W. Bush blames terrorists. Bloggers blame, variously: Fred Phelps, George W. Bush, gun nuts, liberals, the Catholic Church, video games, the youth of today, the liberal media, the reactionary media, the media in general, perverts, and George Lucas.

6. Cute Overload deems the hellspawn offspring "not cute." A flamewar begins.

7. The internets explode. Service is restored 19 hours later, but nine months later there is a vast upsurge in babies born. It becomes known as the "Day We Had to Make Our Own Porn Baby Boom."

In other words, basically business as usual. Why do you ask?

This may be the sort of fan I am as well, now that I think about it.

Okay, but when TV comedians hold all our country's major offices, you will be to blame. Wait. I mean thank. You will be to thank.

Also: omfg a recording of a boy singing "Son of a Preacher Man".

It brings joy to all who hear it. At least, if there's anyone who isn't rendered joyful by this song, I don't want to meet that person.
