I don't take offense, because i've never met anyone who didn't like religion in general who wasn't basing that decision on a few specific cases of religious malpractice and ignoring large classes of people who help improve the world because of their religion.

I love Mike Mulligan and his Steamshovel!  For the uninitiated it's a kind of children's version of the basic John Henry story (man vs. technology, but with a happy ending.)

And it's just got great illustrations. It ranks up there as one of the great picture books of all time.

I knew Stacer had to be one of those votes, and of course Mustard mentions that ending every time I ask him for writing advice, but I wasn't sure about the third vote. Glad to see that Kije is a fellow Mike Mulliganite.

That poll is just confusing all over.

I think I ended up voting for the sweaters.

Actually, I think I voted for that thing exing the machina. But Mike Mulligan came second.

Any day that I can make Tage laugh is a day I consider well-spent. And I'm glad people are voting for the sweaters, though I bet there's only one or two of you at most who get the joke.

I don't get the sweater joke, which is sad, because I usually get your jokes. Is it a Hitchhiker's reference?

All of the answers were good, but I just had to go for the sweaters.  Didn't any of you watch the old Bob Newhart show?  Where he owned an inn in Vermont?  That poll answer made me laugh so hard.
If I had any clue, would I be here?

I thought that's what it was--the dream part at least. But the sweaters threw me off. But now that I think about it, he did wear a lot of sweaters.

It wasn't that he wore sweaters -- it was that his wife (on Newhart) wore a lot of sweaters.  He was recommending to the wife he woke up with (the old wife from The Bob Newhart Show) that she ought to wear more so she would look like the other.  Confusing?

Don't be fooled by how smart Mustard is trying to look. He only knows that because I told him.
