General Polls is of course better known as the losing general during the battle of Crispix. He was defeated by the armies of Count Chocula, lead by the famous General Mills.

I'm not making this up, it's in Longview out near the interstate.

 

They did allow hungry people didn't they?



Good one, I can see it now, a big poster in a Dairy Queen in an eastern bloc nation in the 60s that reads "You will not leave hungry".


How about "You may not leave hungry but you will probably leave malnourished and with an overload of salt, fat, cholesterol, high fructose corn syrup, etc." Dead 

There's a DQ in my neighborhood, Decatur, GA staffed by Indians, nice flamethrower burger and onion rings, no tandoori burgers, dosa, or anything like that though, some samosas? come on?. Cry But then again, around here you can hardly throw a stone without hitting a good Indian restaurant. Big%20smile

Oh sorry, getting off topic, seem to have munchies, kielbasa burgers anyone? Tongue

I really want to vote to destroy this poll's virginity but

(a.) I wanna see how long it takes for someone to vote, and
(b.) No idea what I would choose.

guessing I'm not the only one in this boat.



Oh, I got it. I think you're getting General Polls confused with this dude:


I get them mixed up all the time.

Is it because they don't feel that the demographic of "sneaky chip non-buyer" is appropriate?

Damn.
