Back in 1998 I started making weekly polls for visitors of my site to vote on.  Usually the questions were of a ridiculous nature or had loaded answers (sometimes they were downright cruel), and they were a lot of fun to write.  Some of this stuff is quite funny, if I do say so myself!  But after a while it was a lot of work to come up with 8-10 new answers for a new stupid question every week, so I started doing it bi-weekly, then monthly...soon I wasn't doing 'em at all unless I was bored. So I stopped altogether almost exactly two years after I started (on 9/11/00, interestingly enough).  They have remained online all this time, though, and people have been able to keep voting on them.  Anyway, it's 2002 now so I decided to take them offline and present them here, all in one spot, complete with results.  Some of the material is outdated by now (i.e., references to Monica Lewinsky & Kenneth Starr), but they're still kinda fun.  Enjoy!!

Trivia Answers

All of these questions (except one) are very close to being true except for one or two details, but there was only one 100% correct choice. Gee, how obvious. :-)

I have a tattoo of a pair of lips on my ass. [4 votes]
WRONG! I have absolutely no tattoos whatsoever. This is the only question that doesn't have an element of truth to it. But if I do get a tattoo someday, I have an idea where I would want it.
I'm severely addicted to Wendy's hamburgers. [2 votes]
WRONG! For the past 9 months I've been a vegetarian. Well, mostly...it wasn't until 1/99 that I went 100%. You couldn't pay me to eat one of those greasy fatburgers (from ANY restaurant), and it amazes me how many people gobble them down, sometimes daily. And people wonder why America is the Spare Tire of the planet.
I'm as gay as a $3 bill. [6 votes]
Guilty as charged. Surprised? (6 of you obviously weren't!) Actually that would make another fun poll: "How many of you honestly hadn't figured that out??"
My favorite snack is a tomato and mushroom sandwich. [3 votes]
WRONG! I may be a vegetarian, but anybody who's had dinner with me knows that there are two things I will NOT tolerate on any sandwich, in any salad, or anywhere else for that matter: raw tomatoes and mushrooms. Raw tomatoes are slimy, seedy, foul-tasting spawn of the earth, and mushrooms...well, let's just say that I'm not into fungus. If I want to eat fungus, I'll open my fridge and eat the chunk of cheese with the tufts of green hair sprouting out of it, thank you very much!
I once got drunk and ran around the forest naked. [3 votes]
WRONG! Actually this is almost true. I did get drunk in the forest with a bunch of friends once, and we DID discuss playing Naked Avengers by painting a red "A" on our chests and running thru the trees naked and screaming like a bunch of loons, but we didn't. The one girl in our group wasn't up for it, I can't imagine why... She DID oversee the Pumpkin Incident, however.
I was once within 3 weeks of getting married. [2 votes]
WRONG! It was a friend of mine who was this close to getting married before calling it off. Actually I think it was more than 3 weeks, but it was damn close nevertheless! No wife or kids for me, baby!
I have a sister who works for a local T.V. station. [4 votes]
WRONG! I don't have a sister. But I do have a brother who works for KNXV (Channel 15), the only Phoenix station that has any dignity left. Not much, but a little. If you really want to see shameless whoring for ratings and viewership, check out Channel 3. All their dignity could be contained in the miniscule tupperware of Al Gore's brain.
My dad, who was a D.J. in the 70's and 80's, named me after Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees. [2 votes]
WRONG! My dad has been a D.J. since the 60's up until a few years ago, but I was named after Barry Goldwater, the famous Arizona senator. He was a friend of my mother's side of the family.
