Poll: Compare Amongst Yourselves

[livejournal.com profile] makesmewannadie is visiting me, and we got to talking, as we often do. (Okay. Full disclosure: the actual challenge would be making us shut the fuck up.) And one thing we talked about reminded me of a poll I'd considered posting lo these many moons ago, to test a hypothesis that I can't very well tell you beforehand. (Bias is death to informal and statistically skewed LJ polls, my friends.)

So, first, let me just say: hey, it'd be cool if you'd take this poll. I would love you and stuff.

Second - when I say "your friends list," I mean the portion of your friends list that you read regularly - your default reading filter, if you have one, or the whole list if that's how you read. (If you don't read your friends list at all, this poll is not going to be a good fit for you.) My point is, I want you to consider the people you know the best. (Which is not to say you necessarily know them well, of course.) And when I say "the average," I mean your own personally assessed average of this trait over your friends list.

And, seriously, there are no bad answers here. I'm only wondering where you fit into your own mental picture of your friends list for these particular variables. I know you may not have great data for all these questions; just give me your first reaction, and I will of course love you forever.

ETA: Please don't go back to change your answers after you've finished the poll and seen the results! (Unless you think of something you want to add to the text box, or you've decided shoes are more important than almost-cock. Those questions are weighty and take long consideration; I understand that.)

Why do I have the feeling this was a study to see how many of us would choose the chunk of text at the end with the word "cock" in it and the rest is just smoke and mirrors? :D

Anyway, this made me *think*.

*giggles*

No, sadly, I had no ulterior secret motive to posting this poll, although I admit the random chunks of text are my favorite part of every poll. (For the record, they come from my browser - apparently, I occasionally accidentally copy weird shit to my notes, which Opera then helpfully offers me when I'm filling in forms. Like the poll-making form. And if it really, really wants me to put "Shoes: The Complete Sourcebook" in as a poll option (and believe me, it obviously does), then who am I to deny it the satisfaction? So now you know that at some point in the murky past I accidentally copied the sentence "It's not a cock, exactly" to my notes, and, really, even I have to wonder what that was about. Surely something either is or is not a cock.)

Anyway, this made me *think*.

Me, too. Thanks for thinking about it along with me. *smiles*

A chicken?
