Poll update

Voting is still open in Reader Poll #5, which asks respondents to pick their favorite choice from the menu of time-honored male/male fantasy simulations available in a Star Trek-style virtual reality ''Holodeck.'' With 102 votes now logged, the Father and Son scenario continues to hover around the 20% mark, as it has from the beginning. Boy Scout circle jerk, Twin brothers, and Frat buddies have been duking it out for the second-place position, with the neckerchief fetishists currently holding the lead. (I've been racking my brains trying to come up with a ''Lord Batin'-Pal'' joke, but I figured that the reference was too obscure.)

Anyway, I'll leave it open for a couple more days before attempting to analyze the results. (You didn't think the choices offered were entirely random, did you?)
