[net.bizarre] bizarre poll results

ran@bentley.UUCP (RA Novo) (08/16/85)

Well here it is, bizarres and bizarrettes the results of the first annual
net.bizarre poll of the week:
Favorite Batman villain:
1) Penguin 7 1/2
	By far the heavy favorite, he looks too much like Opus. Burgess
	Meredith did a good job, but he didn't sit on enough tellys.
2) Catwoman 4
	These four votes could be more considered drools for Julie Newmar's
	body. One of the forerunners of the leather suit on TV.
	I guess some credit goes to Eartha Kitt and Lee Meriwether even though
	they weren't mentioned in the replys.
3) Mr. Freeze 1 1/2
	Played by Eli Wallach, George Saunders and Otto Preminger. I never did
		       *
	like foreigners. It was neat how he could change different sections of
	the room from 72 deg to -50 almost instantly, and he could then section 
	off the room.
4) Commisioner Gordon 1
	He along with his bumbling cohort Chief O'Hara brought new meaning to
	the word incompetence. After once hearing the line "It's no wonder how
	you rose to the top of your ranks, Comissioner!", I fear what the rest
	of the police force must've been like. The commisioner is a villain
	under the category: "With friends like this, who needs enemies."
	BTW: the actors who played these two parts are considered insignificant
	and therefore purposely omitted. Furthermore, they are not on the net.
4) Egghead 1
	Longtime horror actor Vincent Price brought new meaning to the word 
	horror in this part, but now he is reduced to do the rap portions
	on Michael Jackson albums.
4) Joker 1
4) Riddler 1 
	Two human laugh tracks. As for the Joker, see above comment about
	foreigners. I didn't like the Riddler either, though. His pajamas
	were  a bit too flowery for my tastes.
4) Robin  1
	Holy double agents, Batman! The only crime that Burt Ward was guilty
	of was bad acting. In fact, if this were a punishable offense, they'd
	have brought back the guillotine. Notice that he was the one who 
	always got captured so that he and Batman ended up in a cliffhanging 
	trap. And I'll bet you all just thought he was incompetent!
	On a side note: It is rumored that Burt Ward is somewhere on the net.
4) Shame 1
	This one is my personal favorite. He was one of the few villains with 
	class. I must admit though that it broke my heart to watch the man
	who does AT&T commercials now, getting beat up.

*) Lots of (|-))

And now with a heavy heart, I must bid adieu to the USENET, since my status
as a summer employee here at AT&T ends today. Yet I am using this opportunity
to ask that one of my fellow netters take on the responsibility of being
the bizarre pollster. I would like to return to this fine net one day, and
find that this young tradition of the poll of the week has flourished into
an institution, and that I am considered the father of it. But until then,
farewell my fellow bizarres and bizarrettes.
