a lot of words in the choices, and they all appear to be spelled correctly.

that alone earns this poll......


but it seems some thought actually went into this which bumps it to.....

This is peak OT synergy.

At the very least, Hairy should be credited with the assist on Oldy's dunk.

What is worse: N Korea being evil all by themselves, self contained or Russia being evil and invading and spreading their evil?

I wanna retire while I still have years left. So I’m done before I get too old. Frankly don’t understand the people who say they won’t know what to do with themselves. I’m very good at my job, but don’t derive my life’s enjoyment and self satisfaction to it. Rather spend more time with my wife, family, and friends and pursue the hobbies I don’t have time for now. Frankly I have a few thousand $3-20 cards I need to list for sale and just haven’t had the time.

There’s a missing space in the 3rd poll option.

Nice try.
