Someone–he knows who he is–he’s also the one who prescribed to me 9, that’s 9, servings of fruits and vegetables a day to wipe out constipation. Ha! I don’t eat 9 servings of anything in a day. That someone suggested recently that “Oh Dave Now” blog entries provide Too Much Information (TMI), meaning of a personal nature, and were perhaps turning off some readers. In the spirit of keeping and hopefully building my small audience, I would like to conduct the first ODN survey to find out from you, dear readers, what topics on ODN you are willing to stomach and which are indeed TMI.
The survey results will be a wonderful, self-censorship tool, that if Shakespeare had had it at his disposal, he might have spared centuries of audiences from such offensive topics as urination, flatulence, and copulation. Certainly, if Lady Gaga or Adam Lambert had done such a survey, she wouldn’t have used the lyric “bluffin’ with my muffin” and he wouldn’t have thrust a male dancer’s face into his crotch on the American Music Awards program. Several questionable pages on Wikipedia would have been omitted, such as the graphic one on orgasm.
Please check off the topics you do NOT want to see on ODN. Vote AGAINST as many topics as you would like in each category. You can even add one topic in each category, as I am pretty demure and receding in these matters, and struggled with intense blushing as I created this survey, and most certainly have forgotten something really disgusting due to my chronic naïveté.
DISCLAIMER: Dave himself finds some of the topics listed in this survey vulgar, inappropriate, repulsive, and offensive, and would never dream of writing about them on ODN, a literary blog. They are listed only to honor the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which guarantees freedom of speech.
NOTE: If you received this week’s blog via e-mail, the poll links don’t work and won’t. You’ll have to click on the “ohdavenow” link at the top of the e-mail to go to the actual blog site to see and vote in the polls. Sorry!
