It occurs to me that the first Harry Potter might be worth considering too.

But really, can we have a poll already? I think we've got enough options floating around.

Not that Harry Potter isn't good, but it's fantasy. One hundred percent fantasy. We do scifi here. Or at least stuff that is any percentage scifi.

What what sort of car would Zeke drive anyhow? My first thought was a Yugo, but I think a Trabant would somehow suit him better.

Two Lord of the Rings fivers and a fair number of OC fivers beg to differ with this whole strictly sci-fi attitude. I would argue that Star Wars is 100% fantasy as well. In any case, Harry Potter is far from off-limits. I know the idea has been bounced around at least once.

So poll-wise... are we there yet?

Lay off for the moment, IJD. I gave a talk today, I have an exam Saturday, and I have assignments way overdue. This will be over soon, but it isn't now.

S'alright, not really badgering. Just trying ineptly to uncleverly extend your previous metaphor.

Got a problem with that? We'll take it to Metaphree-for-all.

Would the nay-sayers like to elaborate on why they are so negative?

Zeke, watch the road! You're going to drive into that poll!

Or possibly "(FOOOOOM)". Haven't decided yet.

I drive a K-Car. It's a nice Reliant automobile. (I call it Miranda.)
