HI Michelle!
My name’s Jack M. I’m a non-smoker who likes blogging, long walks on the beach, and conservative punditry, especially when it’s accompanied by cheerleader skirts.
Unless, of course, those skirts are worn by Robert Novak. That’s just wrong.
Plus, I like dogs, play guitar and spend my vacations scuba-diving in the Caribbean.
I’m looking for a woman who enjoys wine-tastings, baseball and border enforcement. Prior attendance at a GOP Presidential convention is a definate plus.
What?
It’s not that kind of survey???
Damn.
Jack M. on May 6, 2007 at 9:16 PM
You’re weird dude. I ONLY like to see Robert Novak in a cheerleader skirt. Sometimes I make him wear a leash like a dog and play guitar and sing for me a neocon melody while we walk along the beach. If loving S&M Robert Novak in a cheerleader skirt is wrong, I don’t wanna be right!

Do you see what you’ve started Michelle? Happy now?
If Pinkybigglesworth requests nekid’ pictures of Helen Thomas one more time, there is no telling what I might say to him.

If you ask, it shall be done.
Zorro on May 6, 2007 at 9:24 PM
That flossing question came out of nowhere…lol. I bet they conclude I’m a boring recluse! YIKES!
SouthernGent on May 6, 2007 at 9:26 PM
Wouldn’t it be fun if we all answered half the questions the way we really would and the other half like a raving moonbat? We should do that at huffpo or kos or one of those other insane persons websites.
csdeven on May 6, 2007 at 9:33 PM
After taking that poll……well, I didn’t realize how wierd I am.
Snarky responses in 3….2….1…..
csdeven on May 6, 2007 at 9:37 PM
OK it says some blogs are offering a prize what did I wun ?
Can I go on O Reilly when Michelle is there ?
William Amos on May 6, 2007 at 9:47 PM
And only I can wun everyone else can win
William Amos on May 6, 2007 at 9:47 PM
Are they going to send us samples of the whiskey?
see-dubya on May 6, 2007 at 9:48 PM
That survey is more inquisitive than my shrink.
Wade on May 6, 2007 at 9:53 PM
Couldn’t find Aviation Week on the magazine list… And I’m hoping for some samples of “adult beverages” too.
Zorro on May 6, 2007 at 10:00 PM
ARRRG! Blogging and alcohol must mix! I hate surveys but did it for Michelle!
Drtuddle on May 6, 2007 at 10:07 PM
there was no question about humping robots :( you’d think, with 158 questions, there’d be one measley question about such an important topic.
lorien1973 on May 6, 2007 at 10:08 PM
says I already took the survey, but I didn’t. hmm.
ritemama on May 6, 2007 at 10:10 PM
Pre-liminary results of the survey are in:
Slappy-Sue shops at Wal-Mart.
Humping robot doesn’t floss (either).
Wade’s shrink made $500,000 last year.
CyberCipher on May 6, 2007 at 10:14 PM
I mean, “do I like movies about Gladiators?” “Have I ever been in a Turkish prison?” Who are these people?
see-dubya on May 6, 2007 at 10:18 PM
Should I feel bad that I bought 0 books last year and bought 0 cds. But my house is full of pelvically flexible robots. Is that wrong?
lorien1973 on May 6, 2007 at 10:20 PM
…I feel so naked and bare…
all my secrets are laid open
just for a second i thought it was a joke but I kept plugging away answer after answer hee hee.

Zucker, Zucker and Abrahams (or perhaps Peter Graves).
steveegg on May 6, 2007 at 10:46 PM
I did the survey… i’m just the boring dorky type of person who finds them interesting.
But what was with the flossing? That and a couple of others on there that reminded me of the Everybody Votes Wii channel ;)
dead-duck on May 6, 2007 at 10:48 PM
I think the whole point of that survey was to find out what you drive, and what your alcoholic beverage of choice is while driving.
flipflop on May 6, 2007 at 10:50 PM
Are you behind a firewall with another Hot Air reader?
flipflop on May 6, 2007 at 10:52 PM
Wait…that doesn’t sound right…
flipflop on May 6, 2007 at 10:52 PM
The question was too vague…how many times do I floss what?
stonemeister on May 6, 2007 at 10:53 PM
Can someone please give me the answer to 128u….
Ok….now Homeland Security knows that I drink wayyyyy to much, my dog’s name is SilkyPony, and margarine is for more then eating.

I was bored so the survey is done.
EnochCain on May 6, 2007 at 10:55 PM
Only for you MM, only for you – what one does for the lovely host.
How many answered that in the negative, even if they never flossed in all their lives…
Cyber, you killed me laughing, and I’m already giddy over Sarko beating Sego. What does your Collie think?
Zorro, do you fly?
…killed me laughing again and inspired these “do I watch Psycho, or have I been called one, once?”, and “have I been accused of being a troll once, really?”, and “will I vote for Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama?”, and “when will I send some money to Howard Dean, who write to me frequently>”
Entelechy on May 6, 2007 at 10:56 PM
I tried to make it through the whole thing, but it got to creepy. Why?
bspoogeferd on May 6, 2007 at 11:01 PM
I do it anytime for MM.
petefrt on May 6, 2007 at 11:14 PM
Ok Michelle, I took the survey, but. . . well . . .
I really AM a boring recluse.
Ah lives deep in the great northern wilderness, and 4 times a year AH catches ze mule, puts’m in harness, and make the trip to WalMart and ah buys me ‘nother three months of victuals with my food stamps and social security check. Then it’s the long trek back to my poor hovel, where I really do have to cut wood, ‘cuz heat’n this place with propane is like trying to stay warm in a January blizzard by burning dollar bills in the fire place.
Exit question: ” Whats a floss?”
rockhauler on May 6, 2007 at 11:25 PM
Ditto
humping robots
Well Kinda

My collie refused to answer the question about his sexual preferences. He says that THAT question was just “way outta line.”
CyberCipher on May 6, 2007 at 11:34 PM
My only comment was,
“Help me! I’m being held captive in a cubicle in a large building owned by a major defense consulting firm. Send coffee and Peanut M & Ms!!!”
MCPO Airdale on May 6, 2007 at 11:36 PM
They want to know if people who floss shop at Walmart?
petefrt on May 6, 2007 at 11:38 PM
BTW, there is a rumor circulating that the humping robot answered this question with a write-in answer of:
“Anything, or anybody that doesn’t try to hump me first.”
CyberCipher on May 6, 2007 at 11:39 PM
Ok I did it, and I am not trying to make this political, but did you all notice that most of the groups in the ‘are you a member of’ were moonbat projects?
lsutiger on May 6, 2007 at 11:53 PM
Done. BTW, Michelle, I answered fewer personal questions, to apply for my mortgage. But, for you, done.
I agree. There should have been a question about pelvis-thrusting robots.
amerpundit on May 7, 2007 at 12:00 AM
Yeah. Gotta love the Moveon.org one.
amerpundit on May 7, 2007 at 12:00 AM
lsutiger, they could have kept it simpler with “are you a moonbat?” :)
Entelechy on May 7, 2007 at 12:03 AM
Whew! What a job. All that thinking is making me gaga. Hey you owe me big time Michelle. So what I am asking for is no matter how much temptation comes your way to sell out please never loose your principled approach. Deal? We need you.
sonnyspats1 on May 7, 2007 at 12:14 AM
I think it asked just as many questions about my drinking habits as it did concerning my interest in blogs. Ah well, it was easy.
Yakko77 on May 7, 2007 at 12:25 AM
There’s two kinds of people in the world, people who love whiskey and people who should learn to love whiskey.
What does flossing have to do with software anyway?
Speakup on May 7, 2007 at 12:30 AM
I couldn’t believe that they had “Soldier of Fortune” on their magazine list!! I haven’t read one for years(decades?) But I used to write for them occasionally back in the 70s and early 80s.
LegendHasIt on May 7, 2007 at 1:39 AM
Well, I did it. Although, I’ve always hated surveys since most of the time, the answer I want to give isn’t among the answers given. For example:
What Religion Am I?
I couldn’t find Christian! Oh sure, there was Catholic, Baptist, Methodist and several Christian offshoots and denominations I could have chosen but I’ve never felt completely part of any of those groups. I’ve always agreed a little bit with of all of them. And I’ve always disagreed a little bit with all of them. Only the Bible gets my complete and total respect and agreement. What religion is it?
Joshua P. Allem on May 7, 2007 at 2:13 AM
I think the floss question was there to messure your honesty/exageration level.

MirCat on May 7, 2007 at 2:23 AM
This annoys me…
I believe in UFOs because I’ve seen them… but the question is too vague. I don’t believe in “alien space craft”, I believe in unidentified flying objects. I’ve seen UFOs, period. I’m not some nut claiming I was abducted, etc. I just saw something that isn’t documented as being in existences. It was an enormous giant black triangle with lights around the corners “flying” very low, making absolutely no sound, and barely (if at all) moving. But it was without a doubt a secret military project. We have documented cases of military aircraft being denied for decades, even though they did exist. I’m not complaining about this either. I think we should have this stuff, and I think people shouldn’t know about it. But I saw what I saw, and I just had to say that I can’t stand this vague question I’ve seen time and time again.

This caught my eye when going to take the survey.
From the opening page of the survey:
I may be open to taking the survey with a little more persuasion as to why it is needed and after some research into what the results will be used for but the sweet tooth that I am, no cookie will last for long in my browser, if it even gets planted at all.
iNeXuS on May 7, 2007 at 7:18 AM
It’s a testament to how much I like this blog, finishing that.
Worse than an anal probe (I would imagine). Or not.
SouthernDem on May 7, 2007 at 8:40 AM
I haven’t drank hard liquor for a few years now, but I had too much pride to say “never”.
They were missing a few good gins and whiskeys from the list.
flipflopper on May 7, 2007 at 9:51 AM
The list of beers was shockingly incomplete, and the survey was decidedly not international. I was forced to pick Labatts simply because Alexander Keith’s Pale Ale is a subsidiary of Labatts.
Krydor on May 7, 2007 at 10:20 AM
Krydor,
Sigh…Thats what I thought too, I was stuck picking Sam Addams and Corrona and the micro brew…
Rock on…………….
doriangrey on May 7, 2007 at 11:03 AM
As a market researcher by trade, my educated guess is that these seemingly inane questions regarding flossing and liquor has to with attracting advertisers to these blogs. They can say, “See? 75% of these blog readers floss on a regular basis! Corona is the beer most preferred by our blog readers!? etc. etc.
Flossing is kind of a niche category. My guess is that in this case, someone who sells floss is considering advertising, but wants better information about who the target audience is.
asc85 on May 7, 2007 at 11:10 AM
Me too! I was like they have Sam Adamas but where was Shiner Bock? I’m a patriot but a Texan first! Then I thought maybe folks outside of Texas aren’t suppose to know!
