THE BREAKFAST CLUB took first place with 32% of the votes, while FERRIS BUELLER landed in second with 22%, and SIXTEEN CANDLES took third [...]

Fierce OR Nerdy: Geek Love Memorial

Last week most of you chose to die by drowning, as opposed to burning. I myself am terrified of drowning because somehow it seems more likely. Unfortunately, there just doesn’t seem to be a tasteful way to segue from imagined death into actual death… so… Let’s just do this: This is a very special John [...]

Fierce OR Nerdy: Means to an End

Last week, Madonna (Mother of Lourdes) beat out Madonna (Mother of God) by a couple of votes. When I created the poll, I was convinced that Mother of God would sweep, simply because I thought people were kinda over Madonna, Mother of Pop — but it seems she’s still getting respect. And if you compare [...]

Fierce OR Nerdy: Madonna v. Madonna

Last week, Aliens faced off against Ghosts. And, perhaps surprisingly, Ghosts won. Those are my favorite polls, because we don’t actually know why Ghosts won. Was it because people think Ghosts are more likely to exist? Or because they’re eerier? Or sexier? Who knows. Truth is, in any poll, you never know the voter’s reasoning [...]

Fierce OR Nerdy: Aliens v. Ghosts?

(Fierce OR Nerdy took last Friday off, as I was in the middle of the woods with no cell reception and certainly no internet. It was nearly maddening.) Two weeks ago, Jon Bon Jovi’s “America the Beautiful” kicked the ass out of Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA.” I thought we’d have a closer turn-out, [...]

Fierce OR Nerdy: America v. USA

Last week, you had a somewhat abstract decision to make: Up & Down or Around. I suppose it isn’t too surprising that Up & Down took the lead, 63% to 37%. Most everyone, at one point or another, has had an experience with nausea after too many turns on the (insert rotating ride here). For [...]

a blogumn by slpc Last week’s poll between Cupcakes and Brownies was a record turn-out of voters resulting in a tie! I’m very happy about this, because I personally have very equal feelings about a great cupcake and a great brownie. In fact, I’d like to have one of each right now. I’m currently visiting [...]

. a blogumn by slpc I’m a little surprised by last week’s turn out. It would be a fair assumption to say most of our readers are liberal, but I was still shocked to see the large majority voted to legalize marijuana. I also noticed the comments section was a little emptier than usual — [...]
