I hate surveys, but I did it anyway.

I tried to take it, but it told me I already had. I hadn't but there's no place to say that.

Brad : - P
*L*
BTW, someone needs to tell whoever did the survey that Zapopan is a decent tequilla - it wasn't on the list, and there was no column for "none of the above" on the 'brands'.
AND, there was no column for champagne! And with all the oversight that's going on now, I expect we'll be seeing a lot more occasions to pop the cork on some bubbly....
Over all, the survey wasn't too painful
But I SWEAR, if I start getting spammed with ads for dental floss....

I took the survey but I had a difficult time with a few of the questions. For example; "Do you believe in UFOs?"
Taken literally, they are asking whether I believe flying objects might be unidentified. Of course the answer is yes so what the heck are they even asking for?
So am I to assume they mean, "do you believe extraterrestrial life is visiting our planet in spaceships?" To which I am agnostic. I believe it's possible and that there is anecdotal, if not concrete evidence, to support the possibility that it's happened in recent history. But they don't provide an option for 'not sure' so I went with 'no' and now I'm second guessing myself.
On the brand preferences, they didn't mention how price figures into it. For example, I "prefer" Patron tequila but since it costs about 2 or 3X as much, I tend to drink Jose Cuervo, on occassions when I choose to consume tequila. So is my "preference" directly correlated to the relative amounts I consume each brand? Or is it my true preference if money were no object?
Despite the minor confusions, overall I enjoyed it & I hope it helps Brad get some brownie points or something.

You know, I have to agree with NewJesusTimes. It is beyond rational argument that UFOs exist, if we follow a strict definition of terms: People do see things in the sky that they cannot immediately identify. But the questioner probably meant to ask "Do UFO sightings offer evidence of alien visitation?" And I answered "No," there being no space for "Probably not."
As for Tequila --- I can't understand the emphasis on brand names. If money is plentiful and the intent is to drink the stuff straight, buy a Reposado from any maker. If times are tight (as they usually are with me) and the intent is to mix up margaritas, even the cheapest juice ever squeezed out of a cactus will more or less do.

hey Joseph -
You might be surprised how much we agree on. Although I'm willing to agree to disagree since I don't understand your position on 911 and how you can be so sure about something you appear to know not much about (judging by all the outlinks). I wasn't there but personally I do believe molten metal was documented at the site including at bldg 7 where no plane hit. IMO as a scientist and engineer, this has not been satisfactorily explained. There are many intelligent people with many similarly good questions that haven't been answered despite supposed authorities at Popular Mechanics, not to mention people like yourself, inexplicably jumping up and down shouting "everything's been explained," over and over. Anyway, I do like your dog food recipe much better than your anti-911-truth cartoon that used to be there. Tonight I will toast you while drinking tequila and looking for UFOs

I wish Rastafari would have been a religious choice, I'd love to through that monkey wrench into the marketing analysis.

You friggin' guys... ![:-)](https://bradblog.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
I took the survey, and it went on and on and on. Oh well. And I wasn't sure what to put about beer when there was no "Bitburger" selection. When is that free tequila and beer coming in the mail, Brad?
