**Assholes**

We've all received those annoying little surveys, sent to us by people who are (apparently) tremendously bored. The surveys poke and prod, asking questions with varying levels of personal inquiry and imploring you to fill them out and send them to everyone in creation, whereupon those individuals are supposed to do the same thing. Well... in an attempt to never have to fill one of those out, I've compiled the Mother of All Surveys (With help from Hilary, and Stephanie Demarest) for your reading enjoyment. (Note: If you get to the end of this, you really need a hobby)
