smokin' poll

The 'pocket lighter' was patented on this day in 1865.  Since that time they've come in all shapes and sizes, colors, band logos and more.  Pretty much everybody has owned a lighter whether they've smoke or not.  So have you kept it basic, or have you stepped it up.  More after the jump.

Wow!  Unfriending is the new way to tell someone you are over them.  During the election a lot of people got crosswise with their friends.  Did this expose the fact that you really didn't like that person to begin with, or did you just need a break from their nonsense? More after the break.

Hurricane Sandy was and continues to be a tragic experience. There are some people who lost everything and there are still people living in knee deep water.  To be fair, some of these people had little warning and/or no place to go.  More after the jump.

We have some streets in this town that seem to always be under construction. We have other streets that seem like they never get repaired.  There are giant bumps, dips, potholes and who know what out there.  More after the jump.

A recent survey came out saying that young people (like post high school) read about one book a year.  That seems a little low to us.  There's a bazillion reasons not to read books. You may only prefer magazine length stuff, there may not be anything out that interests you and so on.  More after the jump.

Will you be trick or treating?  Handing out treats? Are you headed out to a haunted house or a Halloween party?  Or do the authorities force you to stay in with the porch lights off on Halloween? More after the jump.

Ghosts are like honest politicians, some people swear they exist, but I've never saw one.  Ha. I just came up with that.  Funny right? Okay, sorry, I know some of you have seen ghosts, apparitions, dead relatives or whatever. We'd like to know a little more if you don't mind.  More after the jump.

We had this question with the FMX staff not long ago.  If you care to, you itecan see those results here.  I'm more interested in what your thoughts are. So what's your favorite scary movie, or do we have favorite type of scary movie. More after the jump.

Do you party the weekend before Halloween?  Do you take kids out Trick or Treating? Do you ignore the day all together?  We want to know. Click through for more.

We're staying positive with this one. You may have had a couple bad experiences. You may have had nothing but great experiences. We're just thinking as managers come and go and as menus change, where you last had a good meal is more important than anything. More after the jump.

Heathen mentioned that it always seems like he's dropping his keys.  Some of you can't hold onto a cell phone and for others, you're always juggling plates or bowls.  More after the jump.

The masked riders current horse "Midnight Matador" is being retired. In retrospect his name sounds like it belongs to a Hispanic porn star.  I suspect the University will come up with a create name for the replacement, something like "Midnight Matador 2".  Maybe if you offered a suggestion or two we could give them some better ideas.  More after the jump.
