Cool A BAUT Rules discussion for polls.

I propose that "Beer" should be a mandatory option for every poll.

Do you agree? Vote! Speak your mind.

So, I'm curious. What were you drinking when you created that rather limited poll?

I like "Have you stopped beating your wife?" polls that have only two options: Yes and No.

I agree to the point of adding Beer! as a option in my poll, it even got a vote

No, but 42 should be an option in every poll.

Actually, I think this is a very inappropriate question for a family-friendly board and I'm going to report it to a mod. Oh, wait, you are a mod.

Great idea!!!!

Now that's just plain boozeist!
You can't just deny certain aspects of the populace a voice just because they sup from a different cup!

Of course, faced with the prospect of cold & brutal sobriety I felt obliged to vote for the old liquid bread..

Oh, Swift. We all know beer is a wonder of nature. It exhibits the wonderful power of yeast, which is an excellent gateway to knowledge and the Fungi.

funny. If this would only happen in Blue Law States there would be a lot less alcohol related problems.

What's your opinion of the idea of forming a new world government?

1. It's brilliantly Communistic
2. Read my lips: No new taxes
3. EU for all!
4. Beer...

Yep - looks like a good choice to me.

Makes as much sense as any of the other options, anyway

Oh, but hang on a second. Aren't there some people who don't like beer?

I refuse to believe that.

Such statements belong in the CT forum

Not that we want to advocate or impose beer as an answer to every question or a solution to every problem; however, was it Hunter Thompson who said something along the lines that while guns, alcohol, and violence don't work for everybody, they had served him well.

Blame it on my one superpower - overachieving taste buds. Beer is bitter, and I tend to quickly get headaches from alcohol anyway, so I never saw much reason to try to learn to like the stuff.
