Poll for the week of August 4 – August 11, 2002

The Question:

We’ve all seen the Planeteers clean up pollution galore on TV, but could they have handled the 10 plagues God sent to Egypt in the Bible?

The Response Starters:

1. God would reign supreme because…
2. By their powers combined, the Planeteers could do it because…

THE WINNER:

Shamus: God would reign supreme because aside from having the omnipotent, omnipresent edge, God is always a proper noun, even in pronoun form. now that’s power.

HONORABLE MENTION:

Pat: This is the God of the Old Testament, mind you, so He would simply yet spectacularly explode the heads of each of the Planeteers individually, except for the kid who has Heart, because he’s just so freaking useless anyways it would be a waste of time.

Treesa: As for the poll, dude, I feel bad for the cows, and the 1st borns, and the 1st born cows. Cows. hm. reminds me of ice-cream. Yum.

AND THE REST…in no particular order:

Lacey: God would reign supreme because first of all you don’t mess with God… he made the man who made the planeteers.. come on now.. Plus if you know anything about them, you know when their “powers combine” there comes Captain Planet! But what exactly are their powers? Individually they are fire, water, wind… And you think God doesn’t control fire, water, wind and all that other crap? Boy is the devil gonna have fun with you in HELL.

Shaun McQuaid: God would reign supreme because in those times, the pollution wasn’t the plagues, it was the heathens! Therefore, the planeteers (in a fit of rage brought on by too much mead, perhaps) might actually join in and produce some plagues of their own, like too MUCH ozone or perhaps some sort of water-cleaner out of control that kills everything in the Nile.

Alex: God would reign supreme because (insert reason) the planeteers have someone who’s power is “Heart.” WTF use does that have!? No earthly powers could even compete with “he who shall not be named” let alone a bunch of fairies running around with rings, led by a green guy that can’t do anything when he’s around pollution. Wrong planet to be on dude!

Katie C: God would reign supreme because, well, as a PK I feel compeled to say that. Although, if you go from the religious point of view you could say that the Planeteers were created by God, and maybe God would have created the Planeteers so that some body could clear up the plagues.

Hamel: God would reign supreme because God did way more cool things than the planeteers could ever do….like changing women into poop, filling valleys with carcasses, flooding the earth, making the universe, the planeteers will eventually die and God will still be around….number one top dog.

Poll for the week of August 4 – August 11, 2002

The Question:

On a battledome racetrack, who would win? The Turtle Van from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or the souped-up A-Team van?

The Response Starters:

1. Turtle Power! The Turtle Van would win because…
2. With Mr. T at the wheel, the a-team van would crush the turtle van because…

THE WINNER:

Mullins: With Mr. T at the wheel, the a-team van would crush the turtle van because the ninja turtles were just cartoons and im pretty sure if you lack the ability to self-animate, than you most likely will have the inability to produce a winning time. It’s all in the technicalities. However if we decide to disregard this fact as valid and think about each opponent on the same level of existance, we will have to agree that Mr. T’s gold may interfere with his way with the ladies, driving abilities and neck movement; as well as weigh down the automobile. In addition to the exploration of the lack of power that the T-Van would have, we can also agree that with the massive gadgetry Infused in the heart and soul of the Turtle Van it could outwit and hazards that would confront them on the way to the finish line….

HONORABLE MENTION:

Marc Sawaya: Mike D! You’re not there, but I’m just saying hello from Utah anyway. I hope everything rocks on your side of the country, rest assured I’m keeping things in control over here. The West has almost succumbed to my relentless dictatorship campaign. In fact, soon everyone out here will be driving about in TMNT vans, while the east coast stays to their stubborn A-Team ways.

Shaun McQuaid: Turtle Power! The Turtle Van would win because Donatello is representative of the daring engineer who lairs deep within all WPI students. The A-Team, while cool, isn’t known for their engineering prowess. Donatello could throw a few tricky upgrades into that van, and smoke the team.

AND THE REST….In no particular order

Alex: Turtle Power! The Turtle Van would win because I mean really, do you think the A-Team van could withstand a battering of pizzas from the Turtle Van’s pizza cannon? I don’t think so.

Katie: With Mr. T at the wheel, the a-team van would crush the turtle van because the A-Team always had a much cooler lunch box back in the day. wait a second, I think the turtles came after my family stopped taking packed lunches… there may be a flaw in my argument, but I stand by it nontheless.

Vinayak: Turtle Power! The Turtle Van would win because (insert reason)it’s a cartoon, u can do what u want even ride on the cieling.

Ben: I pity the fool who messes with the A-Team van. That thing has driven through everything, over everthing. Whats the turtle van gonna do? Throw pizzas. Plus the A-Team van has enough room for Mr. T to get his thang on later.

Sarto: Turtle Power! The Turtle Van would win because you just know Michelangelo’s in the back smokin’ a doobie.

Theresa: Turtle Power! The Turtle Van would win because the turtle had so much cooler of a theme song, but Mr. T had all the gold to weigh down his car

Poll for the week of July 15 – July 21, 2002

The Question

Would you rather have a night of romance with Buttercup from the Powerpuff Girls, or MTV’s Daria?

The Response Starters:

1. Buttercup. She’s hip. She’s cute. And I am a pedophile. Also…
2. Daria knows how to have a good time. Seriously, she is the Starbucks of my heart. Also…

THE WINNER:

Lacey: eww what terrible choices- a giggly twit or a depression case… why wasnt there any option of like princess jasmine or something? she was hot… but my vote, since im a lesbian and all, would be a wild threesome with them both- might as well go all out

THE RUNNERS UP

Kurt: neither.

Stef: i would not want a romance night with either…..i want a night alone with you sweet cheeks

AND THE REST….In No Particular Order

Shaun: In response to the poll: Both choices are fraught with danger. Should one choose Buttercup, he’d be in trouble physically. Not only does Buttercup kick ass, she’s uncontrollable, physically unbeatable, and has a tough streak a mile wide. Be prepared to be physically beaten. Then there’s Daria. Of course, she’d be unpleasable. Talk about a mental battering. All night, he’d be made to feel completely inadequate. So in final response, the person to make this choice would be a masochist. In my case, I’d choose Buttercup. The physical wounds would heal eventually, but the emotional scars inflicted by Daria would never go away.

DksideOmoon: Buttercup. shes hip. shes cute. and I am a pedophile. also…wait…wait a minute…no no NO i’m not a pedophile! I swear! Mike D put that there!! Honest!!! ok, so….\ she looked 18….

Sven The Pig: Daria knows how to have a good time. Seriously, she is the starbucks of my heart. also she is the only one out of the two that is of legal age. Buttercup, although very powerful and cute, is just a small child and as I am not a pedophile, I do not find her sexually attractive. For that reason I would have to choose the highly sarcastic and sometimes depressing Daria.

jaybes: Buttercup. shes hip. shes cute. and I am a pedophile. also daria sucks my left nut. Way too melodramatic, who needs that in a relationship? Certainly not me.

MissAmandaLee: Daria knows how to have a good time. Seriously, she is the starbucks of my heart. although honestly i don’t go for the female type….*giggle* she rocks much more than that high pitched annoyance they call buttercup.

dirtLOVESanger: your sick! sick! sick! sicko. man, your sick.

how p e a r l y:Daria. You know how Pearl Jam says “there’s nothing like your baritone”? yeah, well, there ain’t nothing like her monotone, baby.

jenniferjoy3:this poll is not gender-friendly, mike d.

dwora42:Daria. Buttercup doesn’t do that kind of thing. Romance is for sissies.

guyootie:Buttercup. shes hip. shes cute. and I am a pedophile. also i am picking her for lack of a better choice, since i am a girl. but i must say, if i was a lesbian and had to pick one, it would be buttercup. daria just doesn’t do it for me, she’s not hot. even though buttercup has grossly huge eyeballs that cover half of her face, she’s still wicked cute.
