I can't believe I'm the only who's voted for Hugo & Lefty so far!!

(Although the only one I didn't vote for was the doggie one...

)

Why is it always "the blue one next to the fish"?
I wanna vote for "the fish next to the blue one". Fish don't get no respect.

What is "heterology" and where can I buy one?

derrell · 09-13-2009, 05:40 PM

I like multiple choice polls that way I'm not locked into a single answer. Yes I fear commitment.

Also appreciate the Wait...What choice as that lets me back out of what I chose to begin with.

That being said, I definitely think there should be more confusing names for e-readers we don't have nearly enough of them. I think.

ravenne · 09-14-2009, 06:41 AM

I can't vote, there's no 'Germany' option in the poll!
Oh wait.... hang on ... there it is!!!

No 'liesuseuseles' for me, btw. Far too difficult to pronounce!

Slite · 09-14-2009, 06:52 AM

Of course I had to vote for "I'm a good little doggie"

Besides, I hate that stupid name.... not cause I don't think it fits the device, just for the plain fact that I can NEVER get the spelling right!

It is not going to help.

It looks like someone didn't read the "This is not an election" policy. The responses are pretty funny though.--RDBury (talk) 05:39, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Let it be in the French Wikipedia, it is not a word used on the English language side except by a few people.

I juast wanted to say No - but that was not an option.

...and it's not a FRENCH thing - I can speak French, and think it's a nice language, I don't like the word and think it doesn't fit.

pshrynk · 09-15-2009, 10:55 AM

I added a straight no answer for those who really really wanted it.

OH ! hang on that is not "a straight no answer for those who really really wanted it".
That's an "Oh, all right! - NO!"

Totally different ....

BenG · 09-16-2009, 01:14 PM
