Latest Poll Results – SHOCKING
I would have thought the guy who spends most of his time thinking and writing about someone else’s cat would be the most likely to ruin a beer-fest, but it seems there is no correlation between loving others’ cats and ruining other people’s fun. Who knew?
Of course, X-tian could argue that Sparks and Catjjy are a package deal – which would put them over the top on ruining other people’s fun – but I’m not buying that argument. I’m not sayin, I’m just sayin…..
X-tian will get a chance to prove the readers wrong next Tuesday night when he hosts The Hose’s First Annual U.S. Open Beer Summit during the 2nd round of the U.S. Open. Go get em X-tian!!!!

Latest Poll Results
This result is pretty surprising. I knew people liked Manolo for some reason but it was not clear to me that people were into Evil. Was it his preparation? Or is this our very own little Iran?
Is the fix in? Evil, take me to your supreme leader!
Having said all that, I think the Bump is out there doing yeoman’s work. Can we give the brother a little respect? Catjjy was loads of fun to record. I learned the most from KillerB so that’s cool too. Basically, we’re all winners, everyone except you the listener! You guys get to keep on suffering! HOORAY

You Asked, and The Hose Delivers
I have no idea what value can be extracted from this, or why this is preferred over a perfectly packaged perfect life, or even a nice little dog, but for the weirdos who coveted Manolo’s Social Security Number, here it is:
309-91-5401
Knock yourselves out.

Poll Results
The people have spoken! Adam Lambert is a better bet than all the rest
Qualitative research after the poll shows
- You are convinced that Glen Beck will end up doing something awful to himself on camera
- Mark Sanchez will complete less touchdown passes than the number of models he bangs
- Swine Flu is a passing fad, going the way of fanny packs and Swatches
- Gavin Newsome’s political career will be undermined by an extreme fiscal and social conservative with a B List acting background

Poll Results – The Outrage Dies Down
Evil
This poll was posted at the height of the AIG outrage. But like the rest of the nation, we Hosers seem to have calmed down. Our saner sides prevailed. (BTW- I think no one picked the 2nd option because everyone was offended by my grammar error.)

Way to Go Hosers. You Ruined It For Everyone

Well, according to the latest Hose Poll, “You” are to blame for the economic crisis. I hope it was worth it. I hope you can deal with a Lost Decade if that’s what it comes to. Meanwhile “Me”, who received 0 votes (Le Trois clearly didn’t vote) is just trying to get by. Get your act together Hosers. Quit screwing the common man. Have some decency.
Editor’s Note: I added a pic of the poll results “For The Record.” – Rocky

The Hose Idol Bracket
As we have been discussing, we are starting a American Idol Game on the Hose. For those of you watching American Idol this will be a great way to demonstrate you know more than KillerB #1.
Participating should be straight forward. Just tell in what order you think the remaining contestants will be going home:
- Adam “Theatre Queen” Lambert
- Allison “Red Headed 16 Year Old” Iraheta
- Anoop “Doggy Dog” Desai
- Danny “Downy Jr.” Gokey
- Kris “Chris” Allen
- Lil “No Nickname Needed” Rounds
- Matt “Pianoman” Giraud
- Megan “Tattoo Sleeve” Joy
- Scott “The Blind Guy” MacIntyre
More…
Scoring
Rank each of the remaining nine contestants in the order you think they will depart from the show, 1-9 (e.g., if you think Danny is going home next week and Lil Rounds will win, you will rank them 1 and 9, respectively).
The winner is the person with the least points!
You will be assessed points for each contestant based on the formula:
2 ^?Guess – Actual? – Note that the exponent is an absolute value.
For example, if you thought Megan was going home 2nd but she actually made it to 5th, you will get 2 to the power of?2-5? = 2 to the power of 3 = 8 points.
Please return your picks no later than 7pm, Tuesday
March 31st to thehose@gmail.com along with an appropriate handle for us to refer to you as.
I’ll post and maintain the results in a publicly viewable googledocs spreedsheet online.

And The Winning Post Is…
Evil
With so many collapses headlining the news in 2008 — the financial services industry, the automotive industry, the economy in general, the political career of elliot spitzer, etc. — I guess it’s only fitting that you Hosers voted Evil’s Epic Collapse as our Best Post of 2008. Congrats to Killer B#1 for penning the post and special thanks to ME for providing such good source material.
On a personal note, I will take a page from Evil Twin #2’s book and also resolve to post more consistently in 2009.

We Need You!
That time of year has crept up on us again, where we conduct our annual reader survey!
You might think that writers of the Hose are just narcissistic fools that like to pontificate about our life problems, impose our political beliefs, and disparage one another. But I assure you this is not the case. YOU are our loyal readers, and we exist for you, just to make you happy. We need your input to make sure that there is quality material for you to absorb each day when you come to the site, that you are learning something new to expand your horizons, and that you are just getting a laugh at Xtian or Manolo when you need one.
So, dear readers, please take our latest survey above to aid our top Hose strategists (sorry if you’re not in this elite group) in shaping content for the upcoming year.

Clean Sweep
What an exciting week it’s been! First Obama, and now KillerB #1 in landslide victories. There’s so much hope for the future.
KillerB #1, it looks like the voters believe you should spend time with your lovely new wife instead of training a puppy, are too cheap to buy you a drink (with the recession and all), and don’t think you need any fashion help.
Good news! Just a little muscle milk to help with your flexing in photos.

The Hose Endorsement
We have been holding back our endorsements till now to ensure the maximum effect on these “swing voters”.
Seriously, who are these people? How long does it take for them to decide what dressing to put on their salad or what tie to put on in the morning. I want answers!

Fun Stuff
Evil
I’m more than a little surprised at this poll result, but definitely happy to accept it! Xtian and others will deride this poll and its result about being “sad” and/or “desperate.” This was no such thing. I was just seeking the truth here. And thanks to you Hosers, we now know.
