Ten feet is long for a pole. What wouldn't you touch with one?

I've posted the first five responses in 'The poll of the pole'...and added one of my own.

Let me round off the poll by saying, "Doughnuts handled by Lascivious Maximus".

Dang, missed getting on my own poll.

Thats awesome! I picked the option for not touching donuts touched by.. well... me! Hahaha!

The pinnacle of my life has been acheived! I am a poll option!! In a thread about touching things.. well... with poles... this is so strange... I love it! :D

(btw, anyone who understands this joke - can get the last donut, no hands!)

NOOO!!! Damn you, Dobbs Town!

EDIT: Are they cinnamon or chocolate-coated?

I'll say it's safe to assume that Adrian Barbeau-Bot must be the only one here who has actually encountered natto in reality. Otherwise there would be many more votes for it.

The moon. If I were to poke it with a pole, we all know that it would use its evil lunar powers to destroy me, and all of humanity. I DON'T want to piss off the primary source of evil in this world.

Even if you were 9 feet or closer from the moon?

Extra reminder to self: avoid the bars of soap at LP's house if ever invited (not that it's likely now ;)) due to contamination. :D

I'll take the kraut, olive loaf, tripe, and chitterlings! Them thar's good eatin!
And the bugs are too, at least the right kind. (And yes, I speak from experience.)

Have any menudo, head cheese, or scrapple to add?
How about Japanese salted fish guts? (Yes, I've eaten all that, as well. :D But You can't make me eat natto!)

Soybeans that are first teamed then fermented. It smells like a bad cheese, and has the texture of snot.

I have actually seen someone vomit after trying natto.

Well.... It's still food, so I would touch it and eat it.

I wouldn't go into space, therefore I wouldn't touch the moon with a ten-foot pole. If the moon was within ten feet of earth, I wouldn't wait to make descisions - I'd run like hell, as it would be crashing into the Earth.
