Title: Would Anyone Like to Answer some Survey Questions?
Post by: HairMetalLives on November 03, 2006, 05:45:57 PM
(Title truncated by moderator. -DZ)

First off, I appologize for the really long thread title, and I also appoligize if this is an inapropriate thread.

I write for a college game show, and I need people between the ages of 18-30 to answer three survey questions for a category. They are very simple questions, not political or dirty, it will be anonymous. If interested, please E-Mail me at dc@dc-lundberg.net (dc@dc-lundberg.net).

Does this survey have to do with beans, George Wendt, or seeing a movie starring George Wendt eating beans? :-)

Wow.  Someone missed the colon-hyphen-right parenthesis grouping and its obvious indication of humor/sarcasm.

/ needs to work with Gibson on a colon-hyphen-right parenthesis detector
// it's either that or -= MIKE SEZ SARCASM AHEAD! =- in 4 different colors, and a variety of font faces and sizes
/// Animaniacs is great, but not near as superb as Pinky and the Brain

I saw it, but have no idea why I replied with what I said, which is probably worse. That, friends, is a classic brain-fart. I'll head off to the TTD '90 room for a few hours.

I would think twice before doing anything for a game show whose writer reviews the show (http://\"http://www.dc-lundberg.net/gstradepost/shows/easternexpedition.html\") without disclosing his status anywhere in the review.

I wrote that before I became a writer; didn't realize I hadn't changed it/deleted it. I'll take it offline.

EDIT BY HairMetalLives: I took the page offline last night.

So, are these questions are too hard to answer for those of us older than 30?

You'd be surprised what us 40 and olders do and know. :)

I don't mean to offend anyone or hurt any feelings (and if I am doing so, I appologize), but I'd rather that the people answering the survey questions were in a similar age bracket as our contestants, who are all college kids.

No, not offended. You'll understand when you're 40. :)

You don't really think any differently just because you're no longer in college, or are a few years older.

Maybe once you hit 60 or 70, but then that's probably just my bias against those older than me. :)
