inane poll, as promised



There are about eight million possible question on this topic. I ended up makigna huge list of questions I wanted to ask, and then picking out a few very straightforward ones.

Poll #230756 Cake, or death?
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All

None, thanks, I'll just keel over and scare everyone else to death.

At least a couple of minutes. I want to know it's coming.

Give me a few hours. I have phone calls to make, and possibly a last-minute religious conversion or two

More specifically, now, how would you like to die?



For bonus points, write a death scene for yourself or someone else on your friends list and post it in the comments. I'm mostly saying this because I feel like doing it, but if other people do it, I'm sure I can come up with some goofy prize for the best.

And now, death-scene limericks! Just what this universe needs.

There once was a chemist named [info]xmurf
Radioisotopes were his turf
He once made polyethylene
From some carbon-fourteen
Became the first casualty of radiactive nerf (tm)!

Note: it's a silent tm. So it still rhymes. :)

There should probably be a rule that I'm not allowed to use livejournal this early in the morning.

There once was a nun named [info]sisterwendy
Who met her doom in a habit most trendy
She tried to genuflect
To the abbess-elect
But her corset was insufficiently bendy.

And also:

There once was a girl named [info]3countylaugh
But nothing rhymed with it, so she was immortfles.

Quick, ban me now! Ohwait, it's my journal. Bwa ha ha.

There once was an angstpuppy named [info]cow
Who dreamed of becoming a drow
Listened to bands that are goff1
Hoping enough gloom would rub off
But he expired of angst somehow.

Listen to the sad tale of [info]robogock
Who programmed her robots to walk
Her advisors were impressed
Her career seemed blessed
Until one of them learned how to stalk

I would also like to state that I categorically refuse to even contemplate the things that rhyme with [info]velvetknife :)

There once was a fangirl ninja [info]jyuu_chan
Who vowed to sail to Japan
She took her yaoi, some pocky
A ton of manga, her ferretts, some saki2
And drowned in a homebuilt sampan.

[1] I kid you not, one of these bands is called The Cruxshadows. With an umlaut over the u.
[2]This is a legitmate spelling of 'sake'. Though I'm not actually sure [info]jyuu_chan drinks it.

There once was a birdy named [info]corivax
Who one day did sign, pine, and rhyme lax
It spoke of death in the night
The other birdies took flight
Except the one that took up an Axe

A little bleak perhaps and I actually loved the rhyming, it;s just hard to find things that rhyme with vax. Hmmmm, let me try again.

There once was a shiny light, name of [info]corivax
Who came at the world through reason and facts
But one day it met [info]sar_anon
Who talked and talked of things far off and far on
And while nodding, nearly napping, it toppled through the cracks

Perhaps a better try. I'll stop while I'm behind.
