VULPIX: Bill? Not Bill Clinton?

SPIKE: Killing. Love. Mmm.


>Poll answers # 2
>e
>a
>e
>a


VULPIX: Not a very talkative person. But that doesn't mean his answers don't count.

SPIKE: Next please...


>1.  (B)
>2.  (A)
>3.  (B)
>4.  (E)
>Her are my snwers~~~~~~~~~~~~Dream


VULPIX: Good enough.

SPIKE: *snore*


>1.)  F. Fighting
>2.)  D. Withdraw
>3.)  B. Bob
>4.)  D. The Canterbury Tales


VULPIX: Fighting. Hehe. Fighting.

SPIKE: Mmm... Here? Now? Okay...gimme the bar of soap...


>I just realized that the poll section was actually working now, so I
>think
>I'll give my input on it:
>
>1. Colorless, but do you (or anyone for that matter) even care?
>
>2. Hmmmm, I'd have to say Amnesia. Kinda surprised Smokescreen isn't

>
>3. That's a toss up between C and E, they both fit the style of your

>
>4. Both C and E.


VULPIX: Smokescreen. You're right, that should have been one of the options.

SPIKE: (wakes up)


>1B
>2D
>3B
>4B


VULPIX: Kinky.

SPIKE: (falls back asleep)


> First of all, before I answer poll #2, I just wanted to tell you, if you ever decided to fix the potpourri >that I sent you, that I took out the 2 Chanseys and a Hitmonchan for another fighting, psychic, and >electric energy. I'm also playtesting with 3 Promo Mewtwos and 1 Mr. Mime.Now, with that over, here >are my opinions on poll #2.
>
>1- Hmm. That's a toughie, but I'll have to go with grass 'cause of my pals Scyther, andVenusaur(Who is >highly underrated) along with a few other good pokemon (such as Pinsir and Venomoth).
>
>2- I'd probably say barrier. I think it'd be pretty nifty to keep all those crowds/reporters away(By the way >is this Bush after his time in office?).
>
>3- At first I was gonna give my vote to "Bob". But then I thought there we would be no bashes(The best >part of the garage. Sorry Spike). So I decided on a Satan "Bob" combo. Satan can do the bashes while >"Bob" can do the good decks. And as for those bad decks that don't quite make it to the Really Bad >Decks "Bob" can fix them while Satan critizes and rubs in all of their mistakes.
>
>4- Well, I can't really give my honest opinion on this because I've only read/heard of 2 of these. But, I'll >go with Pride and Predjudice.


VULPIX: Bush after his time in office? He's going to be in office? Oh, wait, he's still governor right now.

SPIKE: Mmm.... be gentle... please....


>1.D (your ass is grass, an' i'm gonna smoke it)
>2.E (yep! pump those Ds up!)
>3.B (BOB!We haven't seen her for hours!)
>4.C (feel the burn baby...)


VULPIX: Bob? Her?

SPIKE: (wakes up again)


>1) I didn't know there were colors named fire, water,
>grass... ok sorry for being a smart ass. Right now
>D. Grass
>
>2) Hmmmm. "A" and "C". Toxic would be his favorite
>attack but he would probably have amnesia and forgot
>whether he "used" his "toxic" attack....
>
>3) Bob definately Bob! Wait are we talking about "Bob"
>the guardian of Mainframe in the action cartoon
>"Reboot"? or "Bob" the baby from the internet access
>commercial or am I just missing something here...
>
>4) I'd like to call a friend. What? there's no life
>lines??? damn! well burning cards, stealing, dressing
>up really gay, trading Charizard for Sandshrew, and
>playing Digimon??? Dante's Inferno. Besides, where
>else would Vulpix live? Antartica?


VULPIX: Where else, indeed?

SPIKE: Actually, the "Bob" we're talking about here is the guy who used to inhabit Chipmunk's garage. At least I think that was his name. Bob. By the way, Vulpix... I don't talk in my sleep, do I?

VULPIX: Of course not.


>1)Grass, I like Scyther.
>
>2)Amnesia, what drugs
>
>3) Commander Greven il-Vec, anyone sends in another 162 card deck to
>quote
>him "I will flay the skin from your flesh and the flesh from your bones
>and
>scrape your bones dry. And still you will not have suffered enough"
>Hatred
>(My favorite Magic card) flavor text
>
>4)Dante's Inferno


VULPIX: Let's just hope Bush never loses his foreign policy index cards. I'm pretty sure that would start a nuclear war.

SPIKE: Rage is the only freedom left me.


>That vulpix address that you gave didn't seem to work, so I sent it
>elsewhere.
>
>1) What's your favorite color?
>
>E. Psychic

>2) If George W. Bush were a Pokemon Trainer, what would his favorite

>3) Which of the following would you like to see as guests doing a deck

>F. Orgg! (Raargh!  Orgg best mechanic there is!)
>(In all seriousness, Greven would be cool.)
>
>4) If Spike's Shed were a great literary work, what would it be?
>
>F. What?  Spikes shed isn't a great literary work?


VULPIX: My address seemed to work for everyone else. Good to see Greven's got some fans.

SPIKE: Well, I haven't seen my Shed being taught in English classes so far. Hopefully that will change, though. Maybe if I started writing my fixes in rhyming couplets.


>Hola Vulpix! Hola Spike! I happened to stumble upon your poll and I though you could use my input.

>Question 1: What's your favorite color?
>      Hmm...I am going to say Grass on this one. It is a very underated color, even with the >infinite powers of Scyther.
>
>Answer: D
>
>Question 2: If George W. Bush were a Pokemon Trainer, what would his favorite attack be?
>      What? No "Smoke Crack and Blow It Into Your Trainers Face Attack"? I am sure he >would love that attack. But if I have to choose...I will say Amnesia. He could use it to make everyone >forget about his past that way. I think...
>

>Question 3: Which of the following would you like to see as guests doing a deck fix?

VULPIX: I have no idea whether you're the only real Dragonball fan in the world. If there are any others, maybe they'll write in.

SPIKE: Who's out of their deep, dark depression? DOH! I just remembered an attack I should have had on the Bush question... Guillotine! Y'know, because of Texas's stellar record in the human rights department. No offense to my Texan friends.

>4. dantes inferno


VULPIX: Generally, when you refer to George Bush with the "W" in the middle, it's accepted that you're referring to Bush The Younger... or Beezelbub, as we call him around here.

SPIKE: Vulpix is Satan? That would explain a lot.


>1) E.

>2) (You meant George Bush Jr., right?) B.  (Reason: Just like him, the

VULPIX: I've always liked beating people with a wet sea bass. It makes me feel pretty.

SPIKE: Come over here and I'll show you my humor muscle...


>Hi Vulpix.

> Here is my poll answers:

>
> Please post this Spike/Vulpix.
>Ps. Vulpix, keep up the great work!!


VULPIX: Everybody seems to think I'd be right at home in the Inferno. Well, perhaps... but Minos would probably just send me to that big lake of ice, whatever the hell it's called.

SPIKE: I'd like to have Satan. I think I need to make a few arrangements with him in advance.


>1. My favorite color is black, but thats not on here...OH!POKEMON colors... you didnt specify. In >that case, still H) black. (just wait for NEO)evil.......
>2. D) Yep, definatly withdrawal...I mean withdraw!
>3. E) satan, again the whole evil thingy...P.S. whose bob?
>4. B) Although you dont shoot any Albatross, Vulpix can help people to respect nature. I would have >said Julius Caesar, but no one in Spike's Shed gets stabbed, (as far as i know)...LOOK OUT VULPIX! >just kidding...


VULPIX: People should have more respect for nature. Why? Because if they don't, I'll bite them.

SPIKE: Actually, I probably should have used a different play... *doh*


>1) What's your favorite color?
>
>E. Psychic
>G. Colorless (i like mixing colors)
>
>2) If George W. Bush were a Pokemon Trainer, what would his favorite
>attack
>be?
>
>C. Toxic
>Why would a TRAINER have attacks? *re-reads the question*
>urm...nevermind...
>
>3) Which of the following would you like to see as guests doing a deck
>fix?
>
>D. Newman
>
>4) If Spike's Shed were a great literary work, what would it be?
>
>C. Dante's Inferno (infreno, Vulpix...it fits.)


VULPIX: Hey, you voted for two colors! You can't do that!

SPIKE: Maybe I should go back to sleep. I was having more fun that way.


>My answers are :
>1. a
>2. b
>3. e
>4. b
>
>You should adopt another pokemon. Maybe a Scyther or a Hitmonchan. Not that Vulpix is inferior or >anything. Vulpix is one of my favorite Pokemon. I love fire types!! I just think that it would be cool.


VULPIX: Scyther? Hitmonchan? Eeep... I understand Mercury has a Scyther, though.

SPIKE: I've got a whole bunch of Pokemon. Ponyta, Arcanine, Meriipu, Lapras, Jolteon... Vulpix is the only one who's evil enough to help me with the site, though.

VULPIX: Thanks for the feedback.

SPIKE: He's never heard of Dubya. He's never heard of Gary Bauer or Alan Keyes either. You guys down under are so lucky. Of course, you've probably got your own insane people to deal with.


>1. Electric. Sure, I love the ninetales line, but I'm personally an

>3. Bob! He's my friend. Hey Bob, why'd you run away?

>4. I don't know. I'll go with D, whatever D is!


VULPIX: Hehe. You just know there would be someone stupid enough to play with a card like that.

SPIKE: Bob...no...come back... *cries*


>WASSUP!!!!!! OK I had to get that out of my system. Here are my answers.
>
>1) A. Well, I am not a little 6-year old who loves Charizard, but Arcanine and Magmar rule!!!!
>
>2) UUUUUUHHHHHHHH...... F. All of the above. (He'd cheat of course and teach his PKMN 5 >moves.)
>
>3) D. Heck Yeah!!!! Newman rules!!! He has the bag from the Son of Sam guy. He has the >connections.
>
>4) Ummmm... I have no idea. I'm headin' toward "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner"


VULPIX: Arcy and Magmar do rule! What's the connection between them and Charizard? Is it because they're both fire pokemon? Remember that stereotypes are the language of hate.

SPIKE: I'm heading toward Coleridge too.


>I, the great Nintenfreak, have given my answers.
>
>1. G. colorless (They can use any energy)
>2. D. withdraw (Bush suddenly dissappered from the human eve)
>3. E. Satan (Just to make the little brats mad I am Christian)
>4. C. Dante's Inferno (The only book listed I didn't read)


VULPIX: Bush disappeared from the human eye? Wish he would...

SPIKE: You voted for the only book you didn't read... well, that makes perfect sense.


>Sorry about the cheesy subject.  I've lost all ability to tell the
>difference between what's cute and what's annoying. =)
>
>1) What's your favorite color/energy?
>This is a toughie since I'm not particularily (that's not a word, is
>it?) fond or hateful of any of the energy types.  I guess I'll have to

>2) If George W. Bush were a Pokémon Trainer, what would his favorite

>I would have to say Barrier on this one, since he sidesteps or 'puts up
>a barrier' over issues he doens't want to talk about.  (And yes, I

>
>3)  Which of the following would you like to see as guests doing a fix?
>Bob by a landslide.  What can I say, I like the name 'Bob'. =)
>
>4)  If Spike's Shed were a great literary work, what would it be?
>I can't really say anything on this question because I haven't heard of
>half of these books, and the other half I haven't read. =)


VULPIX: Baby Bush. Hehe. He looks like a little angel when he's sleeping.

SPIKE: Thank you for admitting your total ignorance on the subject of great literature. Next!


>Hi Vulpix, Spike and anyother pokemon that might be there! I'm answering your poll:
>
>1) E. (I am Mew. 'Nuff said.)
>2) D. ( No idea)
>3) A. (THAT would be interesting )
>4) B. (No clue.)
>
>Well that's it! Oh, tell spike I want a mail order Vulpix. ( And I quote: "Fan mail, hate mail, and mail->order vulpixes...oh, never mind.") Please?


VULPIX: Finally, someone votes for Bauer and Keyes.

SPIKE: We've had to close down our mail-order Vulpix operation after our Pokemon breeding license got revoked. Vulpix wasn't very happy about that.


>1. G - Colorless - Varing weakness and resitence and can use any energy
>
>2. B - Hypnosis - You're getting sleepy, very sleepy, you vote for George W. Bush in the coming elcetion.
>
>3. B - "Bob" - Who doesn't love that adorable freeinternet.com guy
>
>4. A - Julius Caesar - Keep dreaming


VULPIX: There are a hell of a lot of Bobs out there, apparently. We should have been more specific.

SPIKE: Keep dreaming?? Thank you, I will. *snore*


>1. E
>2. A
>3. B
>4. C


VULPIX: Another vote for Bob. Whoopee.

SPIKE: Oh yes, I am happy to see you... *snore*

SPIKE: (wakes up) Coffee? Did someone say coffee?

I read >it on my own from time to time! You don't use Iambic Pentameter, and you don't use too much toilet >humor so Shakespeare's defenestrated... Although Vulpix can make your shed an inferno sometimes, I >don't believe in Hell so Dante's Inferno can join Shakey out the window... the Canterbury Tales were >mostly boring and hard to decipher, much unlike your Shed, so they can be tossed in with the Inferno >and Shakey outside your window... and I haven't read Pride and Prejudice, but I believe it's by a >FEMALE... which I'm reasonably sure you are not.

>Thus, by the process of elimination, and my own personal preference, Spike's Shed is the Pokemon Deck >Mechanic Workshop Equivalent of "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" ... (Pidgeot for Albratross? Same >syllable count and they're both birds...)


VULPIX: You're right. Spike isn't a female. At least I don't think so.

SPIKE: Who the hell IS George W.? Oh, right... you don't care about politics, right?

VULPIX: And with that, it's over! Let's tally the answers, which can be a real trick...

***

1)

A. (Fire): 2
B. (Water): 1
C. (Lightning): 2
D. (Grass): 6
E. (Psychic): 8
F. (Fighting): 1
G. (Colorless): 7

***

VULPIX: How could grass win over fire?? *sniff*

SPIKE: I voted for fire. Duh.

***

2)

A. (Amnesia): 10
B. (Hypnosis): 6
C. (Toxic): 3
D. (Withdraw): 4
E. (Barrier): 5

***

VULPIX: Hehe.

SPIKE: I was leaning toward "Withdraw" or "Barrier" at first, but I have to admit that Amnesia does fit really well.

***

3) Which of the following would you like to see as guests doing a deck fix?

A. (Gary Bauer and Alan Keyes): 1
B. ("Bob"): 10
C. (Commander Greven il-Vec): 2
D. (Newman): 3
E. (Satan): 8

***

VULPIX: Bob won! Of course, none of the people who voted for him had any idea who the hell he was, so I'm not sure what that proves, if anything.

SPIKE: We're planning to invite all of them to help us do fixes for next week. Even OhDrat, if she wants to come...

***

4) If Spike's Shed were a great literary work, what would it be?

A. (Julius Caesar): 4
B. ("The Rime of the Ancient Mariner"): 5
C. (Dante's Inferno): 11
D. (The Canterbury Tales): 3
E. (Pride and Prejudice): 4

***

SPIKE: Farewell, farewell! but this I tell / To thee, thou Wedding Guest...

VULPIX: Good to see that so many people kept my environmental needs in mind. At any rate, that's the end of it. So why don't you all skedaddle over to the new poll questions and get busy answering them...
