Its for a Grade 12 Society course.
This is only a small part of the project, but lucky for me, my teacher happens to play MMORPGs (UO) as well, so he accepted my idea.

What? You didn't say "please fill out seriously".

Have to be clear of what you want around these parts.

Maybe people would get the picture if Alla put a big banner on the front page saying "NO SOLICITING" or something like that. Friggin' people post these dumb surveys like every other week!

And to answer all of your questions, "I plead the fizzifth."

Well, to be honest. If it's really for a 12th grade sociology class, I don't have that much of a problem with it. At least he/she doesn't have pretensions that this is some sort of significant research project with far reaching ramifications. It's just a report for a class project to get a passing grade. I can respect that...

Rather than fill out your survey, I have a suggestion.

Go to the grovery store and buy an Eggplant and some Crisco Shortening.

Then, rather than turn in your unoriginal pathetic survey to your patronizing pathetic lump of a teacher, do the following:

Take the Crisco and smear it all around your ******. Then take the eggplant and insert it analy untill it causes bleeding. Then run around in circles about the classroom shouting "Look at me!! Look at me!! I'm having an AssBortion!!"

You'll get an "A"

Your mother's a *****. You like to jack off dogs. That's right, you heard me. You like to grab that dog by the bone and rub it like a ski pole. Your dad? Gay. Your priest? Straight. **** off and let me post. It's not true, it's all in good fun. Now go away.

Well, Smash, you do have a way with words. Hey, I'm a teacher. I'd give that an A - for effort.
