gyusher said:
I'm just glad this didn't turn Polelitical. . .or become polerizing as speaker threads become. . .

Were just keeping it nice so the post pollice don't put us in a polltrol car and make pollrisioners out of us all. That would be pollthetic and very unpollpular.
 
I think he wants to know which speakers are at the top of the totem-pole.

Naw we leave stuff like that to Interpoll :D
 
<Everyone dim the lights and don your black berets, please. Also get out your bongos if you have them.>

I'm gonna fill this poll
with anthracite coal
before it gets filled
with bullet holes
we keep this up we'll need arms control!

I think that we, as a whole
can agree we prefer coffee roll
heart and soul
lemon sole
swimming hole
rock-and-roll
and the rhythm method of birth control.

I think this poll is beyond control, so we should just cut it down to a post. whore.

Allrighty then, that pretty much does it, don't it?
 
Should we pol-itely retire this thread now?

I got it- we'll take a vote! A civilized approach! Utilize pol-itics! Not discuss pol-itics, mind you, as that's against AK pol-icy. But a sort of consensus...

But of course! Let's have a poll about it....
 
Please, pol-itely refrain from any pol-emics against me for pol-ygamist behavior...
