So I came across a post on Something Awful that inspired me to put this poll up:
Diazinon posted:
"At one point Al sang his "innuendo song" full of really bad pick up lines. He was dressed in a red pimp suit and hopped off the stage, went out into the crowd, and sang to about 10-12 of the ladies face to face. Al is not an attractive man, so a few of the girls were freaking to have him face to face, and I would guess not in a good way."

No, trust me, the women who sit right up front at a Weird Al concert were probably thrilled by this. He had (and I suspect still has) a somewhat frightening following of obsessive hardcore fans of the "internet fanfiction writer / cat lady" type.

Okay ladies, let's test his theory against the data! Put on your polling caps!
"Weird Al" has a charisma that's all his own. The awkward, the misshapen, the socially inept flock to his banner.

Actually, I do have 1 cat (I used to have 2), but I have no interest AT ALL in fan fiction. FWIW, I love having Al in my face.
This means something. This is important.

Um, I've never written a fan fic about Al *or anything else* in my entire life. I did own a cat once, but I wouldn't say I was a cat lady. I also like having Al in my face, and am almost certain he will be on Friday.
4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11

So awesome!

I've written a fan fiction (see the Fan Creativity forum) AND I have a cat.

You're not a female fan, Jeremy.

It's important that somebody is willing to step up and point these things out. :lol:

FWIW, I didn't mean the "fan fiction" in the poll to be fan fiction about Al. Not all fan fiction is skewed toward relationships, but enough of it is that I find the idea of fan fiction about a living breathing person (such as Al) to be really creepy, unless it's extremely G-rated and, preferably, funny.

I've written fanfiction. In fact I'm writing one right now!

And I don't have any cats, but I have 5 dogs.

:lookaround:

Am I creeping everyone out?

Maybe that's what she wants you to think!
