Survey Monday 12/3/12

[The Gipper]

It has been a while since I did a survey, so here goes. Because I haven't done it in a while there are a few more questions than usual:

1. What do you think the Browns final record will be?

2. Which two teams do you want to see meet in the Super Bowl?

3. Do you think it is right that Northern Illinois should have been awarded a BCS Bowl Berth?

4. Who in your opinion is the nastiest movie villain? (you can either like or dislike)

5. Prince William and Dutchess Kate are expecting a future King or Queen of England. What name do you think this future king/queen should be given. Give both a boy and girl's name.

6. State who you think are the Top 5 greatest Presidents in US history.

7. What do you want Santa Claus to bring you for Christmas? (or what do you want under your Hannukah bush....or whatever religion you ascribe to).

My own opinions:

1. What do you think the Browns final record will be?

With 4 games to go I think they will end up 6-10

2. Which two teams do you want to see meet in the Super Bowl?

Atlanta Falcons and Houston Texans. And since the game is being played in New Orleans it will be a true neutral field.

3. Do you think it is right that Northern Illinois should have been awarded a BCS Bowl Berth?

Yea, sure, why not. And the hell with all those who think that any bowl other than the current BCS Championship game means anything anyway, so why not Florida vs. Northern Illinois. Don't like the way the current system works? Change it. Going from a 2 to a 4 game playoff is a start....but, realistically and 8 or 16 team playoff (like they do in all other divisions) is going to be a necessity.

4. Who in your opinion is the nastiest movie villain? (you can either like or dislike)

Scut Farkas, the Bully from A Christmas Story.

(and I thought that Bane from the most recent Batman movie was a truly lame villain...where Heath Ledger's Joker was one of the greatest)

5. Prince William and Dutchess Kate are expecting a future King or Queen of England. What name do you think this future king/queen should be given. Give both a boy and girl's name.

For a boy, they should name him Thomas. There has never been a King Thomas. He would be Thomas I.

After all, that is my name.

For a girl, how about Matilda? She would be Matilda II and there was a Queen Matilda back in 1141.

And the Australians would be glad to waltz at her coronation.

(and FYI, it is a British tradition to never use the name again of a king who was considered "bad". Thus there has never been a King John since the first one (he of Robin Hood infamy), or a Richard after Richard III (who was believed to have had his two nephews murdered so that he could take the throne), or a Henry after Henry VIII (whose troubles with women are well known, and who beyond that was a tyrant)

6. State who you think are the Top 5 greatest Presidents in US history.

I don't have to do the thinking here...others have done it before me and have consecrated the results in stone:

Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt. The fifth would be Franklin D Roosevelt....whom nearly all historians rank as #1 overall.

7. What do you want Santa Claus to bring you for Christmas? (or what do you want under your Hannukah bush....or whatever religion you ascribe to).

How about a big flat screen (at least 42"). I am still using an old box style TV.

And a digital camera with about a 10x magnification factor. Right now the one I use only has a 3x zoom.

[The Gipper]

OK Z, do you consider Pussy Galore a Villainess? After all, didn't she do Goldfinger's bidding?

She starts out as one, but he switched her ... in more ways than one.

Pussy was just misunderstood.

Pussy is always misunderstood.

Mr potter is a damn nasty villain.

I'm surprised there's so much love for the villain from no country for old men and nobody mentioned buffalo bill. Buffalo bill creeped me the fuck out.

1. What do you think the Browns final record will be?

I will say 5-11 or maybe 6-10.

2. Which two teams do you want to see meet in the Super Bowl?

Houston and either Chicago or the Giants.

3. Do you think it is right that Northern Illinois should have been awarded a BCS Bowl Berth?

Doesn't bother me, too much. What bothers me is that only two teams from one conference can earn a BCS Bowl Berth. Georgia is better than most teams in the BCS Bowl Games and they got snubbed because of the rule. The rule is crap.

4. Who in your opinion is the nastiest movie villain? (you can either like or dislike)

Tough call. Darth Vader was nasty. He blew up an entire planet. But Bane and the Joker from the Nolan Batman films turned an entire city into a chaotic hell. Lot of nasty villains.

5. Prince William and Dutchess Kate are expecting a future King or Queen of England. What name do you think this future king/queen should be given. Give both a boy and girl's name.

Who gives a shit. That's one lucky ass baby.

6. State who you think are the Top 5 greatest Presidents in US history.

1. FDR

2. George Washington

3. Woodrow Wilson

4. Abraham Lincoln (Very Overrated. Good President, but hardly the best like most people think.)

5. Bill Clinton (Just listed the best from my lifetime as the fifth)

7. What do you want Santa Claus to bring you for Christmas? (or what do you want under your Hannukah bush....or whatever religion you ascribe to).

The Browns to win the next 17 Super Bowls.

[The Cysko Kid]

What's overrated about Lincoln? Probably the single best orator as a president and had the balls to preserve the union at all costs. Not overrated at all.

[SnugglyBottoms]

i find it hilarious how many put FDR in their top 5

easily the worst president this country has ever had

Lincoln admittedly did not want to fight a civil war, and never set out to end slavery. Things were thrown at him that he was forced to act on. Overall a decent president though, he'll of a lot better than Clinton lol. Never thought I would have seen him on anyone's top five

He was a HUGE socialist. Called Joe Stalin "uncle joe" but did make some good decisions during the war, definitely wouldn't call him the worst. Pretty sure that spot is held for Buchanan or Pierce

[Furnier]

It has been a while since I did a survey, so here goes. Because I haven't done it in a while there are a few more questions than usual:

1. What do you think the Browns final record will be?

16-0 (in 2013)

2. Which two teams do you want to see meet in the Super Bowl?

49ers and Texans with the Niners winning. That would make them 6-0 in Super Bowls which are as many wins as Frontrunner Nation with a 1000% winning percentage. Might shut a few of them up for 20 seconds.

3. Do you think it is right that Northern Illinois should have been awarded a BCS Bowl Berth?

The BCS has done far worse.

4. Who in your opinion is the nastiest movie villain? (you can either like or dislike)

Terry Bradshaw in Cannonball Run.

5. Prince William and Dutchess Kate are expecting a future King or Queen of England. What name do you think this future king/queen should be given. Give both a boy and girl's name.

Fontleroy = Boy Grizelda = Girl

6. State who you think are the Top 5 greatest Presidents in US history.

Harrison, Harrison, McKinley, Taft, Garfield, Harding, Grant, Hayes ... 3 way tie for 5th with the two Harrisons and Taft

7. What do you want Santa Claus to bring you for Christmas? (or what do you want under your Hannukah bush....or whatever religion you ascribe to).

A willing wanton woman....WITHOUT a Hannukah bush
