Internet Survey Memes

If someone were to accuse me of being a smart-ass, I wouldn't deny it. One thing which I find absolutely annoying, yet participate in anyway, is the online survey. Most of them seem to be written by 14-year-old girls, and I hate them. Below are some of the answers to the questions that I feel proud of:


21. Do you like the oceαn?
Yes, very much, even though it tried to kill me that one time.

1. what are you doing right now?
Filling out a stupid meme

3. is it a complicated or simple situation?
Is what a complicated or simple situation?

1. Have you loved someone so much thαt you cried while trying to sleep?
Why would I do that?

3. text msg or msn?
Shoot me in the face


28.What is your favorite flower?
The rare North American bacon cheeseburger flower

41.Summer or winter?
I hate this question. AUTUMN!!! AUTUMN, damn it!!!!!

43.Chocolate or Vanilla?
Chocolate or vanilla what?

73. Romantic or spontaneous?
I wasn't aware that those were mutually exclusive. In fact, I thought spontaneous was romantic.

75. Sensitive or loud?
Whoever wrote this survey needs to watch more Sesame Street to figure out what opposites are.

77. Trouble maker or hesitant?
Seriously, anonymous survey writer, buy yourself some Sesame Street DVDs.

ANSWER TRUTHFULLY: I thought that was the point of the entire survey.

100. Posting this as 100 Truths?
Way to finish off with a bang, anonymous survey writer.

1. Who was your FIRST prom date?
First prom date? Do people get more than one prom? My prom date was Alison Quist.

28. Would you be a pirate?
I don't like to murder, I don't like to rape, I don't like to steal, and I don't like scurvy. So, no, I wouldn't be a pirate.

30. Favorite Girl's Name/s:
Lady Deathsinger

31. Favorite boy's name/s:
Baron Von Logitech

34. What vehicle do you drive?
The worst one.

Describe what you practically do in a day: What an awkward sentence. Does it mean what I do in a day that is practical? The placement of the adverb suggest what do I practically do, implying that I don't actually do these things, but that I'm close enough to practically be doing something. Or does the question mean, "What do I do practically everyday?" meaning what do I do almost everyday. In any case, I'm refusing to actually answer this question on the grounds of ambiguity.

Brittany Spears or Christina Agulara [sic]:
F*** you for even asking this.

In the past month have you eaten an entire box of oreos?
No. Also, I'd just like to point out that eating one box of Oreos in a month isn't that odd. It works out to maybe one cookie per day.

Sarcastic:
Are you asking when the last time I was sarcastic was, or am I sarcastic?

Are your fingers tired?
Are you implying that my fingers should be tired after typing roughly 100 words?

37. Ever have cream puffs?
Yes. I'd wager that most people have had cream puffs, so that makes this a stupid question to ask.

39. What was the last question you asked?
Do we have a plastic shopping bag that I can put this dead bird in? (I swear, that is honestly the last question I asked.)

60. What is your favorite animal?
Roast beef with mashed potatoes, yorkshire pudding, broccoli, corn, and gravy over everything. (This was an honest mistake. I wasn't reading very closely.)

16. COFFEE OR ENERGY DRINK?
No thanks.

25. WHO IS THE HOTTEST FEMALE/MALE CELEBRITY
I am not aware of any hermaphrodite celebrities.

26. DO YOU HAVE A PET RIGHT NOW?
No.

27. WHAT KIND IS IT?
I said I don't have one! F***!

30. SAY A NUMBER FROM ONE TO A HUNDRED:
How is this a "truth"? (The title of the meme was "100 Truths")

64. MASHED POTATOES OR MACARONI AND CHEESE?
Mashed potatoes. (Really? Do they even compare? Macaroni and cheese is the epitome of poor people food. Mashed potatoes are the sidedish of nice meals.)

72. DO YOU HAVE A COMPUTER IN YOUR ROOM?
I own a house. It has several rooms. One of them has a computer in it. I call that room the office.

75. DO YOU WANT EVERYONE TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS?
No.

94. REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT?
I'm Canadian.
