Atari Jaguar?

Cactus Col · 2005-02-17 11:10:13

Why do people put Atari Jaguar as an option in polls? I assume it started as some kind of bad joke, but now through it's constant use, surely any humour that people found in it has gone. Is it now that it has become some kind of moronic tradition here?

or you can not have an option for that, and if people want to say it they can put a post in.

How about 'Atariactus Jaguar - because it's a really bad joke'

Maybe if Cactus Col is lucky, he'll become as lengendary as the Atari Jaguar.

Just think in years to come you'll have newbie asking 'please sir, why is there an atariactus option on each poll?'

ah, if only neg rep was still around.

Every community has it's jokes and traditions, boards.ie is no different.

Why do you feel the need to complain about it, is the real question? Why don't you just ignore it if it bothers you?

Why is there an increasing trend of people moaning about nothing here?

The above suggestions could be used in the case of a poll where Atari Jaguar is a legitimate selection, such as Which is the best Console ever made? Its good to have a contingency plan just in case.

I wonder why people always think there's an increase int he amount of moaning - I reckon the moaning levels have always been consistently high.

Yes, but the moaning used to be about specific things. Now it's just moaning for the sake of it. Now I'm moaning about the moaners, see? Too much moaning and not enough love, that's what I say.

True - but what's the story with Sun Dried Tomatoes? Where were Sun Dried Tomatoes ten years ago? Nowhere! Don't get me started on pesto....

Everybody likes pesto. You walk into a restaurant, that's all you hear - pesto, pesto, pesto.

Where was pesto 10 years ago?

Someone do a poll of Cactus Col v Atari Jaguar and the winner must be used henceforth in all polls!

I know what an atari jaguar is, I've played one.

As for moaning about nothing, well ... somepeople are annoyed by that jabbering mobile phone frog ... I'm annoyed by the pointlessness of an atari jaguar option in polls, why, because as a joke it's not funny, and as an poll option it's meaningless.

And don't even get me started on what I think of the Amp Test injoke.

don't know if it was said already BUT the old e-voting system primarily failed due to its non inclusion of an Atari Jaguar option, FACT.
