BlogAds helps to pay the bills around this joint – helps a very little – and is currently running a survey labelled the “Blog Reader Project” to better comprehend a blogger’s readership demographic and, by extension, his potential market segment. Based on readers’ responses to the survey link below, BlogAds will know how and to whom to pitch ads to stuffed corporate suits who will in turn pay Lex. Look at it as sticking it to the man.
The survey system will also in time allow me to run the occasional survey of my own asking such probing questions as, “Foreign Women with Rifles – fanatical about ‘em, or merely love ‘em a whole lot?”
It takes about 10-12 minutes to run, and is otherwise non-invasive of your privacy. It’d be a favor, you were doing me.
I’ll look the other way now, while you make up your mind…
–
Please take my Blog Reader Project survey.
Done!
4 minutes, honest answers. Painless.
I feel famous now. “I read Lex” is in genuine bits.
Done-
-SJBill
Whoops — counting hours up is embarrassing….
Done.
I tried. Wouldn’t let me past the first page. But insists that I already did it.
Maybe it doesn’t like foreigners.
More bloody invasive than a Flight Surgeon, and the questions seemed about equally on point.

I filled out the parts where you tell them what kind of Scotch you want. When do you start shipping that stuff to us?
Nose
I tried!
“Good news, you’ve already taken this survey for another blog. If you’ve got cookies enabled, your answers will be applied to every participating blog you visit.”
done.
“Do you believe in UFOs?”
…glad I could help…?
Did it… how many hours do you spend IMing about The Sopranos while eating breakfast, before reading the newspaper and driving 30 minutes to work? Oh, yes… is it a Mac or a PC at home or the office that you read “Lex” on?
I’m with Nose… when do the prizes arrive?
Tats? Piercings? WTF do those…uh…things have to do with blogs and/or blog reading?
But…done. They did have some pretty good scotch choices. I’m with Nose…when does the scotch arrive?
There was an option for Scotch? Dammit! I only found the options for mojitos. C’est la vie.
Not so much as a mention of Woodchuck on there, the hop-centrists. Not that I can drink at the moment anyway, but it’s the principle of the thing. And the free cider that’s in it, once the gall bladder is no longer in me.
Please accept my apologies, but I already completed the survey on…Blackfive. Oh dear, now I know that you and your family will be suffering grave financial hardships as a result how will I live with the guilt…not to mention the shame of publicly admitting to visiting another blog? GASP!!!
OH, THE HUMANITY!!!
However, I do enjoy answering survey questions so I’ll gladly complete any others you may wish to post, sir.
Veritas et Fidelis Semper
So are you going to get the stats on how many of us floss regularly??? (BTW, I was a no on that…)
Lex … I tried. I really did. But it wouldn’t let me say whether I was male or female [and why not, pray?] or any of the rest of the choice questions. I kept clicking the mouse and it kept ignoring every thing I said, just the way my husband does, but he has a bit of an excuse because he’s mostly deaf these days.
Anyway, I guess they just don’t want my answers. So Soorry…

Done!
I’m probably the only democrat scotch drinker from the 941XX who believes in UFOs, but whatever. Love your blog!
I filled it out honestly, just because it was for Lex, but probably still skewed the curve a bit.
That’s ok — according to the people who poll for the NY Times I’m the only quadraplegic lesbian Republican making under $500/year and flying four days a week to be found in Montana.

But I don’t WANT to stick it to “The Man”.
Damn that was painful, and now I’m really thirsty.
BTW, now I know what an “animist” is. Not much of a selection on the Christianity spectrum, you’re either a Baptist or a United Church of Christ heretic.
You prefer to do the following online:
“Dating research”
Oh, is that what they call it now?
Did anyone catch the “Floss” question? Ok. Now, who lied?
Why wasn’t there a question about voices in our heads?
I hear music. Sometimes, I hear the “Loading Zone Announcements” from Frank Zappa’s ‘Joe’s Garage’. It helps.
I got the same result as ManlyDad – but it does say you will get the credit as well. Hope that’s true.
HF6: ah, my drink-for-the-summer – Mojito’s. It’s all about muddling, right?!
DC, I got the floss question and I didn’t lie. They had a decent selection of beers and gin.
Done.
Waiting for the floss question to show up on IRS tax forms…
No selection for Killian’s Irish Red Lager…..
sigh.
anything for Lex, though.

Max, lol. My favorite question was the UFO one. I’d love to know what that indicates. I’m afraid that once they realized that I’m a flossing, non-tattoed Catholic Republican whose drinking is limited to a glass of wine on date nights with my husband, they lost all interest in me.
I didn’t get into the Drinking Portion, I figured Lex didn’t need to know that I prefer Canadian over Irish.
It took me longer, because I was doing a little brown-nosing about Lex’s blog.
17 minutes!
(Smart alecky reply self deleted)
Held my nose and did it for the cause…inane beyon belief…Lex owes us big time. (ICSFTH) Best
Kris ~ YES!!! And there is a difference between muddling and beating up the lime and mint. A science, even. Few bartenders recognize this.
Have you had a raspberry mojito? Currently my favorite.
HF6: a friend of mine brought me back flavored Cruzan Rum from a trip to St. Thomas. 9 different bottles – a very cool sampler. One of them was raspberry and it was TO DIE FOR in the Mojito.
And yes, the muddle is a science and must be handled with equal parts delicacy and force. Not to be undertaken by the heavy-handed or weak knee’d.
Lex,
Here’s a couple foreign women with rifles candidates: one, and another.
It doesn’t work. I even turned on Javascript. Still no nothing. I saw something that looked intended to be clickable, but wasn’t.
Oh, BTW, I refuse to co-operate with any proprietary software brought forth after 1997, when we had the promulgation of the septuptly-damned DMCA.
Please don’t send us to sites which are not backward-compatible.
Try this link. It is to the article.

No software after 1997 — does that mean you are using Win 95 or Win 98??? No wonder it doesn’t work for you.
Give it up. Relax and visualize it done.
*smirk*
Re the Floss question. Did you notice the next two questions were “Do you shop at Walmart?” and “Do you use a Cell Phone?” Those don’t really belong on the same page in my world.
But hey, now I’ve “Stuck it to the Man.” So I’ve got that going for me.
