T-Rex's Non-Anonymous Survey

[philosopher-rex.livejournal.com]

Posted to the bulletin board AND sent every single resident of the park as a letter:

Hi, everyone! It's me, T-Rex! So anyway, I noticed that people used to make surveys a lot and lately they haven't been doing it as much. I've decided to rectify that by making a survey myself! Also, to mix things up a little, I've decided to do away with this 'anonymous survey' stuff and ask a lot of inappropriate personal questions while asking your full names! Fun, right? I thought so! You can reply here at the board or mail your responses to T-Rex!

This seems to lack methodology. Of any kind. Why would anyone answer a survey like that?

[philosopher-rex.livejournal.com]

What is it with people and this "methodology?" I mean I guess if I was trying to make it all scientific and actually get the demographics of people's exes or something then MAYBE it would need some of this "methodology" you speak of! But this survey is just supposed to be for fun. Which answers your question with regards to why they'd fill it out, too.

P.S. By the way, I'm putting "methodology" in quotes not because I don't understand what it means, but to show contempt for the way science has slowly eroded the mystery out of our existence and is oppressing me further by trying to make my fun joke survey all, you know, scientific.

But why on earth would anyone surrender that information for fun? Why would anyone fill in a survey, no matter how comedic, for purposes other than scientific ones?

Your contempt wounds me. Deep to the core, Mr Hobby-Gossip-Demographer. By the Gods, we have a sense of humour too!

Because people love to talk about themselves, a survey is the ultimate way to talk about yourself a lot! And it's fun to see what other people put, too.

My contempt wounded someone? SWEET!

...I mean. I'm sorry. But if you have a sense of humor, Mr. Science Guy With No Sense of Humor, maybe you could demonstrate it for us! Because I have yet to see evidence of it.

But all these things?

Nice to see you have one too, as that was sarcasm.

[philosopher-rex.livejournal.com]

The more personal the question, the more fun to see other people's answers!

...So wait. My contempt didn't wound you? Darn it. That's good, I guess.

[redo-fromstart.livejournal.com]

And the less likely people are to answer?

No. Nevermind. You tried.

[philosopher-rex.livejournal.com]

I think you mean the MORE likely they are to answer due to awesomeness, my friend!

...Can I try again?

And an illiterate little boy is looking at the sign, frowning.

"Whoa, is that stuff writing?"
