I've seen it. It's real. And it's scary.

Survey Says!!!!

A recent survey lists atheists as the least trusted minority in Amerika. Oh dear, noboby likes me, everyone hates, going to the garden to eat some worms. Listen, surveys are bullshit. I skew them whenever I get called at home to be a trusted participant. I'm the +/- 3% you've wondered about.

I've tested the level of trust by groups/agencies/organizations that don't "share" their lists of confidential information. That's right they don't "share" it, the fucking SELL it. I purposely list my name in a manner that is unique and uncommon. When I receive some special offer addressed to the aforementioned I know who lied. An experiment of sorts. Pointless, yes. Interesting, perhaps. Confirmation of scumbag status, positively. A local health club has made it to the list of offenders of trust. I do feel bad for the chumps that actually paid for bogus info. Awww, not really.

Just an example of some typical answers to start the Survey Skew:

1. Dropped out of High School
2. over $250,0000 income
3. Renter
4. No access to internet.

So if I'm not to be trusted, what's the deal with the Bananaman and his veiled attempts to seduce his co-host. I'm cocksure that it is from a trusted authority.

When telemarketers call for surveys, my husband says "County Clerk's office" and they hang up. I always say, "Can I get your number and call you back?" This puts them in a tailspin. Sometimes if I'm playful I'll bite and they ask about salary and I answer ala Mike Myers: One Meeeeelion Dollars. Then they hang up.

I just slap a music trivia on them and they hang up quick.

Survey says: go to Black Creek park in Chili for the BEST sledding ever. I just got back from taking my whole family, all 6 of us, sledding there and wow it was fun. The hill is very steep with lots of ramps and divots but it wasn't too crowded today, only about 20 others. Much better than telemarketers on a Sunday afternoon.

Thanks for the perfect afternoon – it was fun! You are a great sport and one hell of a lot of fun to have around! To think we fought so….I do find it humorous now – time can change a lot when given a little space.

Indeed, this clip much easier to digest after watching this the second time around – never caught on first watch.

BUT - Bananas were meant to be enjoyed with strawberries, perfectly prepared sea food and pistachio ice cream! These are the desires of life that are well worth waiting for – and in that order! I am full from lunch but will continue to be patient for the desired above cuisine!

Am I on schedule to cook tonight is I have a meeting? I wonder how long it would take to have the above delivered?

How is possible that the stats are at 3% and I have 4 within my circle?

Do you not think that is a little weird?

It is just as weird as less than 25% of crime makes it to the paper.
