Results of the seventh survey...

I think the grand total came to 108, but don't let that concern you. This is probably the fastest a survey has been completed - likely because let people know that it was available. In any case, I may be raising the total for the next one...or I may not. I don't know yet.

Whatever. Here are the results for Survey 7.

1) What animated cartoon character do you best identify with?

Bugs Bunny [12]
Goofy [9]
Garfield [7]
Mickey Mouse [6]
Bart Simpson [5]
Scooby Doo [4]
Marvin the Martian [3]
Snoopy [3]
Tazmanian Devil [3]
Betty Boop [3]
Charlie Brown [3]

Ah, good old Bugs. The original animated anarchist. Pretty much all the classic Looney Toons were represented, as well as most of the Simpsons, and almost all of the Flintstones...but not Fred. No real shocking answers, except for one weirdo who said Scrappy Doo, and one person who dredged the past and found Glum, from the Gullivers Travels series.

2) Name one of the 7 Deadly Sins.

Greed [18]
Murder [17]
Gluttony [13]
Lust [12]
Adultery [11]
Stealing [8]
Sloth [7]

First things first: The Seven Deadly Sins are: Pride, Envy/Jealousy, Gluttony, Lust, Anger/Wrath, Covetousness/Greed and Sloth. They are notthe Ten Commandments. Yes, I know it's hard to remember all 7, which is why I was only asking for 1. I suppose, you could consider Murder to be Anger, Adultery to be Lust and Stealing to be Greed, but I don't think most people who answered that meant it that way.

Homework for many of you is to check out The Seven Deadly Sins Homepage.

Candidates for 8th and 9th sins include Swimming Right After a Meal and Low Wages.

3) What genre of music do you enjoy the least?

Rap [29]
Country [22]
Classical [8]
Hard Rock [7]
Heavy Metal [6]
Rock [6]
Opera [4]
Jazz [3]
Polka [3]

To quote from Bloom County: "The subtle, soulful stylings of rap continue to elude you." For the most part, me too.

Of note is what didn't make the list: Disco, New Age and Musak.

4) Where is a good place to take a vacation?

Hawaii [33]
Florida [15]
Bahamas [8]
Beach [6]
Caribbean [3]
Las Vegas [3]
Disney World [2]
Disneyland [2]
Europe [2]
Mexico [2]

I will keep this list in mind, the next time I go on vacation. I will also consider Walla Walla, Easter Island, New Jersey, Amsterdam and the bathtub.

5) Describe yourself in one word or less.

Fun [7]
Funny [6]
Happy [5]
Nice [5]
Sexy [5]
Smart [5]
Cool [3]

Y'all are also Stressed, Crazy, Depressing, Difficult and Weird. And Proud, although nobody used that one.

6) What is the least important invention of the last 1000 years?

Chia Pet [3]
Electricity [3]
Pet Rock [3]
Cellphone [2]
Infomercials [2]
Toothpick [2]

Wow; I got approximately 90 different answers to this question. Let's just say that if you've seen it at a garage sale, it was probably on the list.

7) What did you have for breakfast (first meal, anyway) today?

Cereal [28]
Eggs [13]
Toast [8]
Bagel [4]
Nothing [4]
Coffee [3]
Donut [3]
Pancakes [3]

A bunch of traditionalists, that's what you are. On the other hand, how much can you vary breakfast? How much would you want to?

LAST) Today's musical question, courtesy of They Might Be Giants: XTC vs. Adam An:

Adam Ant [59]
XTC [29]

Sorry Andy and Colin, the people have spoken. Now I suppose I'll just have to get a copy of Ant Music and see what the fuss is about.
