This week's timely survey question pertains to Ireland's patron Saint and his upcoming celebration. Guinness has a campaign underway to get enough signatures to have St.Patrick' s day considered as a national holiday in the United States.
i believe it was Chris Rock who said (paraphrasing here) you could have a Klu Klux Klan holiday as long as we get the day off. But should St. Patrick's Day be a national holiday?
Well, it would mean that i wouldn't have to call in sick every year to have the day off but i kind of enjoy the day being more personal to me... during the day time hours at least.
So, St. Patrick's Day: person celebration or national holiday? You decide in this week's survey.

Hoth Mutha Fuckers!
Oh whoa is me. i have been blog free for a little while out of shock and aw. Well, that and snowboarding in Jackson Hole. My shock, my borderline disgust, comes from the results of the last survey. Folks, readers, really?
When asked which movie is the best in the Star Wars series it was a TIE (fighter). Not only a tie but no one voted for the correct answer. Yes, there was a CORRECT answer.
i understand the votes for Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. It was where we saw the big fight we all had been waiting for between Obi Won and Anakin Skywalker. It was where we found out that Darth Vader was really a hopeless romantic, and that's why he turned to the dark side... for love. It is where we find out why some Jedi die while others disappear as they become one with the force.
But it also has lines like "no, it's because i am sooo in love with you" and younglings getting massacred. Add that it has no TaunTauns being cut open for warmth and, more importantly, no Boba Fett and you have no grounds for such a vote.
Return of the Jedi? Yes those cute little Ewoks definitely can lure you into believing such a thing. And slave Leia? Oh Episode VI how you tease, but no, you are not the best. Boba Fett getting killed... accidentally? WEAK! And what exactly does Anakin looks like? Is he an old man with a round face like Luke's or a curly haired young man? And when did he figure out how to become a hologram? Did Qui Gon teach him that before he was struck down by Darth Maul? And more importantly, what did they do to that great tribal Ewok celebration song? Yub, Yub indeed.
The correct answer starts on a wintery planet. The correct answer uses tow ropes to take down At-At's. The correct answer has lines like:
"I love you"
"I know"
Carbonite... the introduction of the space-pimp and his cloud city... Boba Fett kicking ass... Jedi training... lightsaber fights with hands getting cut off... a robot replacement hand... "I am your father"... did i mention Boba Fett kicking ass? Come on now. You have all been warned.
