I, like Christine, have noticed the rampage of surveys lately.  If retailers really want to draw in business this holiday season, I suggest they make people fill out a survey when the come in the door.  It makes customers feel they are admired.  So I thought it would be nice to resurrect this post from 2002, which was blogged in the time now known to historians as "The Great Surveillance Deluge."  I updated it just a teeny bit to keep up with the times, because surveys are nothing if not flexible.

Acousticdream’s Survey To End All Surveys:

FAVORITES: (2 points each)

Family Member:
Word for the Female Mammary Glands:
Igneous Rock:
Brand of Dishwashing Detergent:
Dictator:
Member of the '80s band A Flock of Seagulls:
Area Code:
Bulk-Packaging Concept:
Past Participle:
Use for Velcro:
Barnyard Accesory:

HAVE YOU EVER: (points for each yes answer)

1. Seen anyone picking their nose in traffic? (2 pts)
2. If yes, was it someone you knew? (2 pts)
3. If you answered yes to number 2, was it your boss or another superior? (3 pts)
4. Did you use that information to get a corner office? (4 pts)
5. Good for you (give yourself another point).
6. What about you? Did you pick your nose in traffic? (2 pts)
7. Did anyone else pick your nose in traffic? (4 pts)
8. Chewed on your homework to make it look like the dog did it? (3 pts)
9. Loved somebody so bad it makes you cry? (1 pt)
10. Needed someone so much you can’t sleep at night? (2 pts)
11. Tried to find the words but they don’t come out right? (3 pts)
12. Have you ever? (4 pts)
13. Worn Velcro shoes past the age of 10? (2 pts)
14. Given a surprise party for a 100th birthday? (10 pts)
15. Slept in a featherbed? (2 pts)
16. Been excited to see jello? (2 pts)
17. Been to paradise? (3 pts)
18. Been to me? (4 pts)
19. Had a family meeting? (2 pts)
20. Been told you look like a celebrity? (4 pts)

CHOOSE WISELY:

Fanta Strawberry / Strawberry Crush:
gay marriage / terrorism:
Black ink / dull, kinda dark gray ink:
1.21 gigawatts / saddle shoes:
X’s / O’s:
scrunchee / headband:
thisaway / thataway:
to / fro:
seasickness / airsickness:
tornado / twister:
The Jane Pauley Show / being nibbled to death by migrating waterfowl:

WHO DO YOU:

Think is most likely to call you twice in one day?
Wish had zillions of dollars?
Suspect of spying for a foreign government?
Think you can’t live without, your stable boy or your footman?
Prefer to shoplift with, your florist or your second cousin?

WHY:

Are you pestering me?
Don’t you ask your father?
Am I being punished?

LIST AS MANY THINGS AS YOU CAN THINK OF:

HOW MANY WORDS CAN YOU MAKE FROM THE FOLLOWING PHRASE:
wardrobe malfunction
(DON’T use the same letter twice!!)

If you send this to ten people in the next five minutes, there will be peace on earth, an end to famine, a cure for AIDS, then you will get four round-trip tickets to Disneyworld in the mail courtesy of Bill Gates, and at Disneyworld while you are in line for Space Mountain you will meet the love of your life, have two children, finally get to the head of the line, and ten people will think you are a big-time loser.

The points mean diddly-squat.

I didn't calculate all the points, though.  Is Disneyland fun, I've never been?

Palimpsests? There's been a revolution around here, darling. Your *survey* rocks. Really. God. I think that my footman means more to me than my stable boy, although it's a tough call.

Love the survey. Hope you don't mind if I post it on my site. I will give you honors for fabricating it of course, but I just couldn't help myself.
