Thursday Morning Poll

What came first the match or the lighter? Technically the match did come first, so technically those who voted match were correct. However the first match that was invented was never popular because of how dangerous and expensive they were. The first friction match (like what we use today) was not invented until 1827 after the lighter was invented in 1823. A little history for all of you pyros out there. If you're going to be a pyro you've got to know your roots :-).

This Thursday's poll is a pop culture question. We've had several "blockbuster" movies lately on the big screen and I want to know what you liked best. You may have to go see a couple of movies in order to vote, but that's okay because all three are really good.

Before the summer movies began to show I was most looking forward to the sequel to Chronicles of Narnia and a close second was Indiana Jones. Out of the top three so far my favorite has been Ironman. What is your fav?

• Prince Caspian: The Chronicles of Narnia
• Ironman
• Indiana Jones: The Crystal Skull

Check back next week for the results!

Thursday Morning Poll

Well the majority of traviswarren.net readers do not watch American Idol per our poll, but they can pick a winner. The winner of the poll for who they wanted to win, David Cook, was declared the winner last night. I personally saw that I could either watch the American Idol (the biggest by viewer finale of the year) or the Puppy Bowl IV. I chose the puppy bowl because I was playing with my dogs and although I follow the show online I cannot stand the show. Congrats to all the David Cook fans out there. Those who are in love with the other David, don't worry he will have a career when the boy band genre comes back. :-)

This weeks poll if for all of you pyro's out there. I'm actually writing this while a candle is burning on my desk. Without cheating or search snopes, google, etc... Here is our Thursday Morning Poll.

What was invented first?

• The Match
• The Lighter

Rock the vote, answer to come next Thursday!

Thursday Morning Poll

Last week we opened the can on what is the "greatest extreme sport." The results are in, the people have spoken and here are the top four:

1. Other - Unfortunately most people didn't list their other, so we have not measure of what other means :-).
   
2. Wake Boarding/Water Skiing - not surprising considering where we live and our access to lakes.
   
3. Anything Snow
   
4. NASCAR

Thanks for rocking the vote.

I recently heard a statistic that more people will vote for American Idol than for the President of the United States this November. I personally do not watch the show for reasons that will be kept private (I failed an audition and think I am SO TALENTED, SO I'LL NEVER WATCH THAT SHOW AGAIN!!!... just kidding), but I'd like to know if you do and who you want to win.

With that in mind I have two polls for you this week. Numero Uno:
Do you watch American Idol?

1. Yes I am absolutely in love with the show!
   
2. No, but I follow it via the web, twitter, news etc...
   
3. I'm a closet watcher and am fearful to admit it.
4. Never and will not over my dead body

The second poll:

Who would you like to win?

1. Ryan Seacrest
2. David Cook
   
3. David Archuleta

Enjoy!

Thursday Morning Poll

This weeks poll somewhat shocked me as 29 out of the 51 total votes went for face-to-face communication. When I was setting it up I was sure "I don't talk to anyone, I'm a hermit" would would win. Just kidding! I figured Text or something like that would win, but reflecting on relationships you cannot beat the face-to-face. If we didn't have face-to-face as an option I wonder what would win? That will have to be a poll for a later date.

Well... Two weeks ago we did a favorite "traditional" sports poll. Here is this Thursday's poll:

What is your favorite extreme sport?

• Wake boarding/Skating/Water skiing
• Surfing
• Skate boarding
• BMX
• Anything Motocross
• Snowmobiling
• NASCAR/IRL/Car racing
• Other
• Sports? ...Yeah right!

There are many other extreme sport out there and this is why I included the category other. If your vote is for something else vote other and post what it is in the comments section.

Thursday Morning Poll

After a week of voting my suspicions were correct. As I put up the poll I had a hunch the size of Texas that NFL football would win. Raking in 22 votes or 51% no other sport even got close Every other option except for Golf received a vote. It's amazing how we live in a nation where there is something for everyone. Oh and only in the U.S. (and maybe Canada) would Futbol Americano beat out futbol (soccer).

Here is this weeks poll:

What is your favorite form of communication?

• Face-to-face
• Telephone
• Text
• Social Network i.e. MySpace
• Twitter
• Email
• Handwritten Letter
• Smoke Signals
• IM
  
• I don't communicate, I'm a hermit

It seems we are communicating more and more these days, so what is your favorite means?

The Thursday Morning Poll 4

And the winner of the greatest boy band eva title given by traviswarren.net and all my peeps is...

Jackson 5!!! It looks like the old school era won out over the new school. People could not deny the fact that one of the boy bands that started it all was the greatest. While it was a close race in the end Jackson 5 pulled it off with 29 or 54% of the votes with Boyz II Men only amassing 24 or 45% of the votes.

Here is the new Thursday morning poll. I'm a huge sports fan and with the NFL draft coming up on Saturday I think we need to vote on what is your favorite traditional sport to watch. We will do an extreme sport poll at a later date.

I played baseball for 12 years. It was my main sport, but not my favorite sport to watch. Here are the contestants and we are talking professional sports not collegiate:

• Baseball
• Hockey
• Basketball
• Football
• Golf
• Soccer
• Other
  
• Sports? ... Yeah right!
• Curling?

I realize that there are many other traditional sports out there. For this poll I choose those most televised because they have the greatest popularity. Popularity=viewers=money=television is my reasoning behind that. If there is a traditional sport you enjoy watching vote other and post what it is in the comment section. I'd love to know what you watch!

The Thurday Morning Poll 3

While last weeks poll stirred a controversy among those who enjoyed the vocal styling and dance moves of the boy bands that started it all, this week will settle once and for all the greatest boy band ever (or until another hott boy band comes out and we necessitate the need for a recount). The winner of the Old school poll is....


The Jackson 5 with 17 votes or 26% of total votes. This was my personal old school fav, but to avoid further controversy I resisted the temptation to vote and did not.

The winner of the new school poll is.... Boyz II Men, Everybody it's Boyz II Men, Everybody...
With 25 votes or 36% of the total votes. I was pulling for NSYNC, but again resisted the temptation to vote being that I instigated the poll.

For this weeks poll these two bands will battle it out head to head for the title of "GREATEST BOY BAND EVA!!!" (wow what an honor) :-)

Vote for your favorite now! You have one week to decide. Choose carefully :-).

Here are the runners up from last week:

Old School Boy Bands

• Beach Boys (16 votes or 25% of votes)
• Duran Duran/New Edition (11 votes or 17% of votes)
• The Temptations (9 votes or 14% of votes)
  

New School Boy Bands

• NSYNC (24 votes or 35% of votes)
• NKOTB (12 votes or 17% of votes)
• Backstreet Boys (7 votes or 10% 0f votes)
• 98 Degrees (0 votes or 0% of votes)
  

The Thursday Morning Poll 2

The results are in, your vote has been counted and on this Blog it counts. There will be no recount :-). The winner of the most shocking unknown fact is... there are 27 million slaves in the world today. Fifty percent (15 votes) voted for this fact. 33% of people voted for the fact that more people in the world know what the Golden Arches are as opposed to the Christian cross. 10% of voters thought that 1/5 of the world lives on less than a dollar a day was the most shocking fact. And in last place 6% of voters thought that the fact that 1/3 of the worlds population is at war was the most shocking fact. All of these facts are incredibly tragic and need our constant prayer and attention.

For this weeks poll, we are going to go with a lighter note. I figured with the return of my sisters favorite band (if you can call them that) growing up we should vote on who is the greatest boy band of all time! If you haven't heard New Kids On The Block is doing a reunion tour! All the teeny boppers from the Eighties give out a big YAY!!! (The Stone Temple Pilots are doing a reunion tour, but that's not as big of a deal in the media. I used to rock the STP back in the day) So here is our poll which you can vote on in the top right corner of the Blog.

Who is the greatest boy band of all time?

• NSYNC (YAY JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, JOEY, JC, LANCE and the other guy)
• Backstreet Boys (Go guys I don't know who any of you are)
• New Kids On The Block
• Boyz II Men
• 98 Degrees

Rock the vote! You have one week to decide. Choose carefully!
