Today's poll brought to you by shsilver, a winky button to anyone who can tell me what both of these rules are.

i had to google them.

[ericcoleman]

I knew Rule 6 ... but not Rule 42

[bammba-m.livejournal.com]

i think rule 42 is the cooler of the two, and has the better number. so i went with that.

[ericcoleman]

It's interesting, neither of the rules he had in mind show up on a quick google search ...

[bammba-m.livejournal.com]

oooh, then i guess i'm completely going off the unintended set of rules. even better. :)

[ericcoleman]

You anarchist you ...

[bammba-m.livejournal.com]

hey! i follow the rules when it suits my purposes!!


fight the power. and stuff.

What about rule 34?

[bernmarx.livejournal.com]

Oct 42 = Dec 34.

It's mystical, I say!

[philady.livejournal.com]

My vote is for Rule 34.

[awfulhorrid.livejournal.com]

I like The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Pirates myself, even if there isn't a Rule 42 listed.

"11. Everything is air-droppable at least once."

So true -- twice if you have enough spare parts...

[shsilver.livejournal.com]

I know what they are!

[ericcoleman]

Hey, own up to it, this is cooler than being on Jeopardy, except for the no money thing, and the not being on TV thing, and ... oh never mind

[jcw-da-dmg.livejournal.com]

There is NOOOOOOOOO . . . Rule 6.

[ericcoleman]

That's one, you get a half a winky button

[jcw-da-dmg.livejournal.com]

Oh, goodie! Just what I always wanted!

(Will it help me get a job?)

Since I could not determine which Rule 42 you are refering to here (consolidation of like cases in court, definition of legal & illegal ways for sailing boats to pass each other during a race, etc), I am going with the only Rule #6 that matter: no pooftahs!

[ericcoleman]

Actually Rule #6 is ... there IS ... no rule #6

[bernmarx.livejournal.com]

If Rule 42 is what I now think it is, which makes sense given Mr Silver's sense of humor, then I decree that Rule 42 is much cooler than Rule 6, which doesn't even exist.

I say this as someone who is well shorter than a mile tall, and is not at any rate currently in a courtroom regardless.

[ericcoleman]

And you are the first person to get them both right

[bernmarx.livejournal.com]

Yay, I get half a winky button!

[bammba-m.livejournal.com]

well now i feel like a ginormous dork for not getting the disney reference.

pah.

[jcw-da-dmg.livejournal.com]

Disney? Hmmmpphhh! It's the oldest rule in the book! It was around LONG before Disney was born!

[madladyred.livejournal.com]

Argh!! I didn't see this until other people got to guess the rules.
Alas.
At least I still got to vote for 42. :)

I'm oddly excited that as I post this there are 6 people who voted for rule 6.

Wait, do those people exist if rule 6 doesn't exist?

[jcw-da-dmg.livejournal.com]

I don't know. AAaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!
