A poll! A poll!

This is what comes of talking to [livejournal.com profile] arkhamrefugee.

[Poll #1144851]

So, do I answer the way I *know* I would, or the way I *think* I should?

Gee, I wonder what prompted question 1? ;-)

As for question #2, it scares me. Most scariest point first:

What if nobody called me?

What if I developed feelings for a person I was supposed to only be "friends with minor benefits" with?

What if somebody I don't like called me?

See? Terribly frightening.

Ok, maybe that's just me.

Oh, and for #3 ... you wouldn't need to state *any* reason. I'm just sayin'.

Good to know. :)

You make the drive or flight all the way out here, you get to see boobies. In fact, I'll invite more boobies over for your viewing pleasure.

Just saying.

[identity profile] featherynscale.livejournal.com 2008-02-26 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
You are the very soul of hospitality. ;)

[identity profile] tryst-inn.livejournal.com 2008-02-26 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
We do try. I'll even see if we can arrange a token dick or two. Depending on deployment schedules, may have to be battery operated or silicon. We've got a pony tailed pagan guy we can offer up as sacrifice somewhere around here.

We'll give it our best shot.

Is this a private offer or can anyone play? Just asking. ;-)

[identity profile] ysabel.livejournal.com 2008-02-26 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Aha, that's what I need to offer to get them to visit again.

I don't recall, [livejournal.com profile] featherynscale, did y'all get sufficient boobie-viewage last time?

Since we're still talking about you bouncing on our bed naked, signs point to "yes", darlin'. :)

Where is this place and why wasn't I invited?

Whidbey Island. Wayyyyy over in the Puget Sound of Washington.

I have some old friends that live on Orcas Island (Did I spell that right? I don't think I spelled that right).

[identity profile] tryst-inn.livejournal.com 2008-02-26 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
You spelled it perfectly correct. The highlight of visiting Orcas Islands used to be seeing the Ferry Nuns. Sadly, they no longer nun the ferries.

Or something. I'm not catholic, so I don't keep up on dogma issues.

[identity profile] celticwhistlin.livejournal.com 2008-02-26 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
That may be why they moved there in the first place. Very very Catholic. Me, not so much. Them, very much.

It has been almost 15 years since I have been out that way (I'm from Oregon).

Re: #2, you didn't specify that I get to veto folks in the pool. I'm willing to flirt with nearly anyone but I'd need to be able to say, "No, not that person," in at least some ways.

Given some oversight, I'd be fine with such a scheme, but not with just anyone in the pool.

[identity profile] greektoomey.livejournal.com 2008-02-26 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I assumed that I would know who else was in the pool before I agreed.

As I'm saying, "no, nope, no way, etc" I'm thinking that I'm 26 years to late for this poll. Is there a pack of tic tacs in the pool of people;>

I'm amused that the answers for #1 trended toward the last two options at first, then the people with more impulse control logged in, and you've got 7 'Ummm...no' responses now. :)

Also, #2 is very interesting.

Hypothesis: People with low impulse control are more likely to log in to LJ more often.

low impulse control

[identity profile] rfunk.livejournal.com 2008-02-26 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
This makes a lot of sense to me.

Conversely, people with higher impulse control no longer have LJ access at work. It could happen.

[identity profile] liquidfun.livejournal.com 2008-02-26 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Keeping in mind, I answered #1 as I thought I should ... recent past evidence to the contrary ignored.

#2 is an interesting concept. I find myself considering a similar idea for company parties and the like, where one might find you are currently lacking a partner or for political reasons you can't bring a "real" partner to said event ... having a pool of "escorts" for such events available. Veddy intrestin'.

Re #1 - I answered it with a yes, but I rarely punch people. I *would*, however, be perfectly inclined to slap them in the back of the head, especially since they'd received ample warning to stop their asshattery.

[identity profile] greektoomey.livejournal.com 2008-02-26 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, in that situation, I think a slap would be more appropriate than a punch.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Strip naked so that I could examine you for suspicious tattoos

I suppose that method has its place in the spectrum of Diverse Response Strategies. I approve of and endorse this message.

Hence the flowing skirt and mega-size tits, no doubt.

Yep. They don't come in any other flavor unless they are supposed to be 12. And even then, sometimes...

Well, they seemed excessive even for comic-book porpoises... but on the other hand, it is Wildstorm...

The original Rose Tattoo was a little more mainstream with smaller breasts and often wore a red jumpsuit.
