1. LOL
Great poll, but as a child of the '70s, I had to go with the Chevy Vega option. :D :thumbsup:

3. I'm just getting ready to venture out, actually
I wonder how one of those handles in the snow? Probably not that well, I'd guess. :D

Enjoy your snow day - hopefully it's our last for a while. :hi:

4. I thought it was because Vega is the place we aspire to go, to escape
the tyranny of the meat supremacists. Hope we get that ark built soon. The SS Veg*n will sail for Vega soon.

You see, Vega is so bright that we all have to live beneath the planetary surface. That's why we're all such pale, shivery specimens.

Think, man, THINK!

7. Oooh,
way too late to edit that one into the poll.

Thanks for the suggestion (though I'm not a huge fan.)

I haven't seen you down here before--are you new to the group, or just finding yourself posting here more? Welcome, in either case!

8. Thanks for the welcome.
I just started meandering through some of the groups. It's a whole different world in here. No arguing!
