This is exciting: polls, y’all!
In a thinly-disguised try at engaging my reader(s?), I’m taking baby steps (click it! Click the link!) in order to make this site more interactive; logic would dictate that I need feedback in order to do so.
I can sit here and type out inane babbly-babble all damn day, but the point of doing so is a bit muddled when no one actually reads the stuff. So, uh, what do you want to read? Tell me.
I’ll be taking the poll down in a few days.
Much obliged!
Vote early. Vote often. Vote here.
the sloppy copy 
It was tough to choose between the fictionized story and the detailed explanation. I went with the latter. Mostly because I like to think that all your stories are 100% true, down to the very last detail.
