DON'T MAKE ME CHOOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :'(

This already exists in Secret Hideouts. I said cake.

I thought I checked there... Was it recently posted in?

No, I couldn't think of anything new for the poll.

Do you want me to stop this one then?

I don't really care, the staff might. I only mentioned it because I trademarked Random Polls.

Ok then this is now Random Questionnaires!  :P ;D

OK.

Now it's fixed. Time to trademark Random Questionnaires.

Pie forever.

PIE! PIE! PIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pie's winning. :D

I think American Pie is different to Australian pie. All I can think of for "pie" is apple pie and meat pies.

Y'see, in 'Straya, this is a cake:

So yeah, I voted cake. For that reason.

That pie looks gross. Is it?

Pies aren't just for dessert, that pie is full of meat. It's a pastry dish. To be honest it probably tastes delicious, depending on the meat.

I know. But you really think that looks appetizing?  It looks so slimy.

I have had pot pie that look something like that and the "slimy" sauce is really delicious and there are a lot of different type of Pie, like Fruit pies,  Chocolate pudding pie, lemon meringue and so many more.

Quote from: Lord Daskar on June 23, 2016, 02:55:24 PM

That one, by the looks of it, is steak and kidney. They are quiet gross, yeah. But the plain beef, or the chicken, or any others are much better. And yeah, apart from apple pie, Australian pie is either that, or a slightly bigger version of that.

What? No pumpkin pie, cream pie, chocolate pie, blueberry pie, raspberry pie, candy bar pie, peanut butter pie, strawberry rhubarb pie,  cherry pie, banana cream pie? Preposterous!

Blasphemy! Steak and kidney pie is the food of kings! Though that steak and kidney pie may be disgusting, most are not.

Kidneys never sounded appetizing to me.

Me either  :-\

Me either, but I love turkey pot pie. And my favourite, key lime pie. Or even better... deep fried key lime pie.

Anything that I haven't tried I hope is appetizing to me. ;D

New poll! This time, books or movies?

You need to reset the votes to zero.

Oh yeah :P Did it. Thanks, I totally forgot about that.

Books! :) Though it still was a hard decision

Books, very easy simply because the movies manipulate the plot too much.

Books. It's absolutely no contest. Movies just aren't long enough.

Well, I dont like movies based off of books, but movies with their own unique plot line is good

Part of the the poll is that it is the same story.

Books books books books.
Books books bookety book.

Usually the book, so I'm going with that.

But for the Secret of NIMH, I did like the movie more. :3

You WHAT?!
I liked the book a lot better. It closed off so many loose ends that the movie left open, it didn't have anything super dramatic like some random magic stone or plots for death, the characters were so much more realistic. . . Heck, everything was more realistic.

I've never seen The Secret of Nimh (ugh, why did they feel the need to change the title?) and I don't really intend to. The book was firmly grounded in science and magic just doesn't fit into that world. Also I really hate the fact that they changed Mrs. Frisby's name; what was the point?

   See, I used to be very much a book person. I'd read constantly. But I've become less and less like that over the years, and as of now, there's a lot of things I'd rather do than sit down and read a book. Of course, I still enjoy books- especially while traveling- but as of now, I watch more movies than I read books. They take less time.

I. . . . Can't answer the question.

Take Princess Bride. I, without question, prefer the movie to the book in that case. I like the book too of course, but Buttercup spoiled it for me. So whiny. Also, who gets 'syllabub' and 'syllable' mixed up?

But, say, PJO? HAHAHAHA BOOKS.

You see my dilemma?

And, strange as it may sound, I appreciate movies based off books in their own way. . . . I mean, if they followed the vbook exactly, that could be very boring. You already know exactly what's gonna happen. . . . *Shrugs*

Like I said, I can't pick.

Books. If I hear of an appealing movie based off of a book, I like to watch the movie first and then read the book; that way I'm never disappointed. This was the case with both Twelve Years a Slave and I am Number Four, for example. However, it usually happens that I discover and enjoy a book before it's adapted into film.

Books! For the simple reason that it's hard to accurately translate characters and plot from one format to another, movies based on books tend to be disappointing. Movies created with the sole intent to be movies are usually far superior; directors and screenwriters are able to use the most effective techniques, instead of trying to twist a book into a good movie.

*Looks at the poll results.*
We're a bunch of nerds. xD



Movies that are made to be movies, yes, I agree are often better than ones based on books. There are a lot of movies I like, but there is also something so satisfying about reading a book. It may have to deal with the senses that are used for either ones. With movies, you tend to be fed information, most of it using sight and hearing. With books, you use your imagination, and you almost create the world you are reading in your mind using the descriptions.

I suppose they both have their place in the entertainment world.

I agree with the majority here. Books are better than the movies that are based off of them. Movies made to be their own story without depending on a book are good, and most of the time I would prefer to watch a movie, but when I find a good book, I'd rather read that. Books give you more freedom and ability to imagine something on your own, while a movie can't really do that.

I agree with you completely  Eul :)

Books. Because you can pause and stop when something tragic happens, or when you giggle with excitement. The book has details which immerse you in the world, and let you see it the way you want to. Plus, books give you a much longer experience that usually lasts more than 2-3 hours. To top it all off, books smell much better than movies.

^I second that last thought.

I third it. ;D

New Poll! This time it's spring vs. winter.

Winter! Only because of spring allergies.

Winter. Very much winter.

I hate being cold. My vote goes for Spring.

Winter. I don't like spring, the grass grows and it gets hot and wet at the same time.

The best thing about winter are the holidays. After those are gone and the reality sinks in that you still have two more months of this to go...

I don't mind winter, for December. After that I'm done and ready for things to be back to normal. Unfortunately, the seasons don't work that way. ;)

I like winter. It's hellishly hot the rest of the year where I am.

Quote from: Rusvul on July 08, 2016, 04:57:25 PM

That's true, but I chose spring 'cause I can't stand being cold.

New poll! Which will it be; White or Black?

*LEGO Batman voice* I only work in black- and, sometimes, very, very dark grey.

Black needs more love in general. White can be harsh and sharp, where black can be soothing and comforting.

I actually prefer white (I'm a symbolic person, I guess), but I just couldn't resist LEGO Batman...

   A significant majority of my wardrobe is black or other similarly dark colors. Bright things (white especially) are too much for me.

Quote from: Rusvul on July 23, 2016, 03:24:29 PM

You and I both, friend.

I like black, and white's okay, I guess. But I really just prefer gray. I guess I'll go with black, though.

Black is wonderful. It's classy, risqué, and goes with everything.

Yes it is! *Gives Kit a hug*

I prefer wearing black personally... but on a girl I like I'd prefer to see white. It's a tossup, but I'll vote white since it's a landslide.

Neither. White gets dirty too easily and black absorbs too much heat.

/me chooses to NOT make a music reference
Black is by far my favorite color to wear. It just looks so much cooler.

I also prefer white. ;D

   See, I sort of want to dye some portion of my hair black... but I'm really pale... and I already wear mostly black. I don't want to seem too goth and/or vampire. Plus black highlights in brown hair seems kind of weird. :P

Well, they'd be called lowlights. :) Funny, I want to dye my hair white sometime.

Just gonna say, the most dapper of suits come black...

New poll! Are you an Introvert or an Extravert?

You need an omnivert setting (and yes i know that is not what it is called :P)

What is it really called then? I think I know what you are talking about buuut....

I have no idea :P

Ambivert! I just looked it up.

I can be extroverted if I want to, but also introverted. I would call myself an ambivert, but my personality type according to some tests is INTJ/INFP, so. . .

im really glad ambivert is on here!!

Introvert: One who "recharges" by being alone
Extrovert: One who "recharges" by socializing
You can be shy amd still be an Extrovert!!
You can be outgoing and still be an Introvert!!
It depends on whether you need alone time or you hate being alone!! It's not Shy vs Outgoing!!
You can also be an Ambivert, someone in between those two.

http://www.lifehack.org/articles/communication/like-introvert-extrovert-ambivert.html (http://www.lifehack.org/articles/communication/like-introvert-extrovert-ambivert.html)

I'm an outgoing introvert. Yes, I'm shy and awkward around new people. But being with my friends still excites me and I look forward to going to fun events. It's just that I need my alone time to process it all and recharge afterwards.

I'm more of a lesser of that Kit. I'm fully introverted, probably more than most of you on here. But when I am around those I am comfortable with like by friends, or on here for example. Heck, my close church friends usually look for me to make them laugh! But I need to be alone, badly. If I can't be with myself and think through many different things, then I literally can't function. And I love this so much because I get to think about what to write, how to further my book, and how to react in certain ways. Being an Introvert really helps me more than it hinders me.

Personally, I don't believe there's such a thing as an ambivert.

Voted intro.

New Pool Poll!

Beach or Pool?

Pool.

Beach!

When it comes to swimming, the pool. Though I do love rocky beaches, or coasts where it's so flat that the wind just comes whipping across the water all the time. (It feels so awesome on a nearly bald scalp.)

I hate swimming... ;D

With a pool you don't get sand on your bottom.

Pool doesn't try to burn you eyes out like the beach, plus you can't have an indoor beach.

This is hard, because the pool is better for swimming, while the beach is beautiful and a better total experience. I'll vote beach, but just for the sand and the view.

The beach is great! But I've always enjoyed pools more, plus the realm of pools contain water parks, slides, and such which makes pools a little more enjoyable. Not to mention after a half hour on the beach the novelty wears off and it becomes boring.

I hate the beach, but I also don't care for pools very much. Water is meant to sail on, not swim in. ;D

I'm not a huge fan of either, but my vote goes for the beach. There's sand, seagulls, and all sorts of things. It's only fun if I stay away from the water, though :P

I've never been to a beach, but I hate the lifeguards and crowds and chlorine at pools, plus beaches have waves. Waves are cool. So I choose beach.

New Poll!

Which would you rather do?

Write an original Book?
Or
Videotape an original Movie?

I don't think I need to say what my answer was. :D

Why must I be surrounded by authors! :P

   Depends what 'videotape an original movie' means. If we're being exceptionally literal and I'm the guy with the camera, I'd rather... Actually, no, even then I'd still prefer that. I get paid and I don't have to spend years of my life writing. Unless I can publish a book of short stories or something.. That might be fun.

   If I'm directing a movie (or doing the writing for one), though? I'd much rather do that. I think I'd find watching my work come to life on a screen more rewarding than making it come alive on a page.

Bwuahahaha, as if that's a question. Write. My editing skills are NONEXISTENT. Plus I take awful pictures, and movies are more complicated than that.

I may not be great at video editing right now, but I love doing it. It would be awesome to make a movie.

Quote from: Søren on August 18, 2016, 01:30:22 AM

Totally agree

Even though I am writing a book right now, and plan to write my entire life, I still love editing and filming. I used to do it all the time back in fifth grade by making really bad movies and music videos with my brother and his friends. There is just something about it that is so fun. I guess the visual aspect which you just can't have as much with a book. Still, I chose Writing a Book.

Filmmaking is a long and expensive career to undertake. A good writer could do the same thing in a book that a filmmaker could do in a movie, at less money and resources. Don't get me wrong, writing a book is hard, but it's certainly better than making a movie.

Books are better for you  :o 8) :P ::)

I'm already doing one.

Movies reach more people, they pack a lot of information into two hours while good books typically take a lot more time to read and create. Also unless your books are hits you're never going to have the audience that even a mediocre movie will have.

Moneywise I would definitely go for the movie.

And as many film studios have proven movies can be just as informative and entertaining as even the best books, besides there are so many new technologies that are being introduced into film making that you can just do so much more with movies. You can do long stretches of visually pleasing scenes to be refreshing, or heated dialogue, and one-liners and jokes are so much easier to do in movies.

Don't get me wrong, I love a good book, but if I was to choose between writing, or screen writing... Oh wait...

You don't become a creator for money unless you're an idiot. Because the fact of the matter is unless you're absolutely fantastic at what you do, pretty much no one is going to see it. You do it to get your ideas out. Money is just a nice bonus.

Case in point: The Hobbit trilogy. :P (They aren't bad, but they really just feel like money makers.)

I've always been a writer, but honestly I'd rather make a movie. I'm just better with visual things, ya know? *Sigh.* It's confusing. :P

Most people go into the business of writing and film making to make a living, for money, not to let people simply enjoy their work for free. Maybe they are all just idiots, but they are rich idiots all the same. ;)

If your into letting people read and watch whatever you make for absolutely free, well that's what Youtube and online writing is for.

Of course they want to make money from it. But it's not a realistic career path for someone who just wants to make money.

Who said anything about that? All I was doing was rebutting your statement where you said: "You don't become a creator to make money unless your an idiot." Because that's false. I never said, nor did anyone else say, anything about people doing it just to make money.

Movies and books are all good (well, except for when you try to convert between the two formats- something is always lost), but I would prefer writing to directing. I have always found literature to have a more powerful effect on the mind than cinema.

Very true, literature can "touch" me more too.

New Poll!

Which are you?
Leader or
Follower

Follower. I tend to see this as something of a learning experience. If you are a follower, let's say to a King. If that king makes dumb choices and deacions that ruin more than it fixes, you time following him gives you knowledge of what to do it you are King one day. Same goes it the King does good. Plus, I'm no leader and never will be.

I always gravitate toward leading. Not much else to say. ;D

   Follower
I don't like to be ultimately in charge, but I appreciate responsibility. Second-in-command perhaps?

I think I'm more of a follower who tells the leader what to do.

So a backseat driver? ;D

Don't encourage him, James.

No unofficial leader who has a spokesperson.

Well this is a hard question.

I don't like being in the spotlight, yet I don't take orders very well. I don't like making decisions, but I'm very picky. I don't like being a leader but usually end up being one anyway.

Follower. I like having guidance but do things my own way regardless of what I'm told. I don't like being the one to call the shots, which is funny, because I work as a manager. Maybe first follower? I make for an awesome right-hand-man.

New Poll! Hot Dogs or Hamburgers?

So. . . are you going to put that on a poll?

*facepalm* I knew I was forgetting SOMETHING! :D

*facepalm**facepalm**facepalm*

Most definitely hamburger. You can put so many different things on it.

Landslide. Probably because Hamburgers can be a bit more unique, and expertly created. That and they're just better.

And pure beef is amazing.

That and most people aren't entirely sure what's in a hotdog.

Burgers.

New Poll! Would you rather be handed right now a...

Bundle of cash worth $100,000
or
A box of Amazon gift cards worth $1,000,000?

I'll take the $1M; Amazon has a wide enough selection that I can get my money's worth. I can even resell some things to get my money back in cash.

Amazon giftcards worth $1,000,000- I could just sell 'em if I needed something I couldn't buy off Amazon- which is practically nothing.

The gift cards. I buy so much from Amazon...

I'd go for the 100k in cash, gift cards are questionable and sometimes even have an expiration date. One of my biggest concerns would be the inability to invest money from gift cards. I like taking large sums of money I earn and putting that into mutual funds. I could hardly do that with an Amazon card.

Besides I really don't need a million dollars worth of junk off of Amazon either, though it would be cool. I wouldn't say no to a million dollar gift card.

I'd go for the 100K in cash, and invest it and donate it to charity. You can't do that with gift cards.

Psh, sell 'em for 10% off and you've got $900,000. And somebody got free money, so win-win!

@LT Sandpaw , my Amazon gift card says it never expires, so I assume no Amazon gift card would expire unless Amazon does.

I'm not sure which I'd want.

For the next poll, you should ask whether people say "excuse me" or "pardon me"- I say "Pardon me", but most people where I live now say "excuse me". I guess "Begging your pardon" is a variation of the former (or vice versa), though... More common in the South, I'd say.

I say both interchangeably. :P

I usually say "Excuse me?", "what?" or "I'm sorry?"

I usually say "Excuse me" or "Pardon me". ;D

By the way, with all the discussion on Amazon or not:

I'd hafta go for the gift cards. You can get bunches of good health products on Amazon, and also dance stuff, so I'm good.

New Poll! This is the first requested Questionaire^TM from Wylder Treejumper!

Do you say Excuse me?
OR
Do you say Pardon me?

See my note in the "View votes"

Exsqueeze me...
(http://cdn.hitfix.com/photos/6182233/binks.jpg)

I usually use a quick 'Scues me, but I suppose that's just a form of Excuse me so I voted with that. I think this one is totally up to where people grew up, cause where I live I hardly ever hear people say Pardon.

Oh Soren...


I chose Excuse me 'cause down here on the good ol' country of Arkansas y'all tell y'all's neighbors 'scuse me ma'am, becuase of manner and all you learned from the school house that you walk to e'rey day yeehaw, bless your hearts.

Noble effort PoM, noble effort. ;)

Good ol' country o' Ark n' Sauce

I always say "Pardon me". Where I grew up you heard both about equally but I use pardon because I feel it to be more proper and polite.

That's Our Kansas

Sometimes I say "my bad," but it's usually excuse me.

If I accidentally bump into someone, then I say either "My apologies." or "Excuse me." ;D

I use both, but 'Excuse me' more often.

Excuse me for me.

New Poll!

I SCREAM YOU SCREAM WE ALL SCREAM FOR...What kind of ice cream?

Ice Cream in a bowl?
or
Ice Cream Cone?

Sorry it has been so long, but anyway, New Poll!

How many Redwall books have you read?

Read All of them Several Times
Read All of them once
Read about half
Read a couple
Read none. Yeah I don't know why I am here.

Gonna do another one soon Ami?

All of them several times, but for some, it's been 10+ years since the last read.

Yeah, I have just been waiting for more people to vote and post so I don't do a triple post.

Anywaaayy...

New Poll!

On a scale of 1-5 are you a perfectionist? (1 is least, 5 is most)


Please keep in mind that if no one replies to the thread I can't post a new poll. That could be a tactic if you don't like my polls, but if you want more, keep the comments coming! ;)

I voted a two.

IT MUST BE PERFECT!

Tree.  :D

Five.

I would have voted 4, but 4 isn't a multiple of 5, soo...  ;)

Not with things that are important, but I am over things that don't matter so much.

Those buttons in the Experimental theme? Meticulously compared to the original ones, pixel by pixel.

It's easy to be a perfectionist on things that matter to us, even if they impact others little. A piece of a cosplay, for example, I will spend hours on trying to get it the way I envisioned it. In my posts, too, I try to make the grammar and spelling flawless. A school paper, though, will eventually get a "good enough" and get turned in as is.

New Poll!

Which is more disgusting for you?

Tasting it
Smelling it
Seeing it
Hearing it
or Feeling it?

Keep in mind that each answer has its own disgusting thing, hence you won't die if you taste the disgusting thing you are supposed to see. ;)

Tasting it.

Feeling, for reasons stated in the poll.

My reasoning:

You can block out see, hear, and smell by closing your eyes, breathing through your mouth, and covering your eyes. And nothing really sounds disgusting anyway.

Between feel and taste, it's a bit obvious. You can't block out taste, but you can just close your eyes and imagine that what you're feeling is just something that feels similar. Or you just never know what it is in the first place. Would you rather step in a dog turd, or eat it? Would you rather touch a rotten egg, or lick it? Would you rather stick your hand in someone's gaping leg-wound, or stick your mouth in?

This post was an emotional roller coaster.

Yup.

How can you hear something disgusting?

Surely you've heard disgusting noises?

Disgusting noises can be anything. On one hand, it could be a giant mosquito slurping on somebody's intestines. Or it could just be a kid with some silly-putty and a thickshake.

Thank you for the imagery, Groddil :P

This is an interesting question. I must ponder it more.

Sorry if you didn't have enough time Sky, I forgot to check the votes before I changed the poll. But it is Tuesday, so the week is over and it is time for a...

New Poll!

Simpler this time, Piano or Guitar? Taking into consideration the sound and how it is played.

Sorry, Ami, I can't choose. I've started to learn to play both, and love both.

I'm afraid piano is forever ruined for me.

How so, Sand?

A wide range of things, one of which is listening to horrible practicing at top volume for hours on end. It gets old.

New Poll!

Which do you prefer to use when hiding presents?

Wrapping Paper?
OR
Tissue Paper and Bags?

That was a clear win :P

I find chocolate ice cream to be gacky while vanilla is oft too plain. But between the two I prefer vanilla, but I wont say no to chocolate.

Well, you beat me too it, New Poll!
Simple one again.

Chocolate or Vanilla?

Chocolate!

On a Scale of 1-5 how forgetful are you?

0 about things I read, 5 about homework and things I put down somewhere...

I only remember anything unimportant.

I read so much that I forget basically everything I read.

Well, this proves how forgetful I am...

Anyway, New Poll!

Which do you prefer?

Oreo Cream?
OR
Oreo Wafer?

Is it okay to say both? At the same time?

I prefer the cream but I eat them together. :P

Cream! Cream! CREAAAM! :P

Die in shame and dishonor :P!

What? I'm not allowed to dislike foods now? ;D :P

Not in my watch ;D

Creeeeeam!

You don't?

New Poll!

On a Scale of 1-5 are you a procrastinator?

Too lazy to vote

3/5.

I'm a 3.

Ehh, I'll put this off until later.

Are you kidding me I made a typo in the voting comment.

Sighs.

*Might not be that bad, I just don't think highly of my work ethic

New Poll!

Which do you like best?

Lord of the Rings
OR
Harry Potter
OR
Narnia
OR
Other?

I hate Harry Potter the least.

That said, the books are really enjoyable. It's the movies that throw me off.

Harry Potter is the best.

But I feel this way except switched around, I like the movies far more than the books.

*Pops head out form Hobbit Hole*

Oh, just take a wild guess on what I chose.

Av o' zem!

How can I choose between Lord of the Rings or Narnia? That's like asking which kid you like better.




If that's the case then Lord of the Rings is the better child.  Lord of the Rings is everything.

Lord of the Rings is the best.

I love Lord of the Rings, but not as much as I love Harry Potter. I'm a proud Hufflepuff, if anyone was wondering. :P

That's tough! I'm a fan of the HP books but I do like the LOTR films a lot, too. And then the Narnia Chronicles have a nostalgic factor with me due to the old BBC series, and they are such charming books.

The LOTR films are nothing like the books. Read the books- they are infinitely better. The story has so much more depth and character, and the nobility of Tolkien's prose can hardly be matched.

Middle-earth all the way.

Westeros is better.

I should add that I have read - and liked - the LOTR novels, too. I just haven't read them in years, so can't properly assess the books against the other two. (If this poll were going by book only, that is.) :)

None of the above? I mean they're all okay. I suppose I'd go for Narnia, but I didn't ever really like the first Narnia book, or the last few.
