This poll is just for fun and to satisfy curiosity. Choose the option that best fits your ability to repel the irresistible attractiveness that Rolla has to offer, and welcome back to hell.

Don't vote until you get back,
Have a nice day!

Eh, the only draw to Rolla is the type of people that go there. A lot of fun characters. Rolla itself is boring as hell - it's a little town in the asscrack of Missouri (the part between KC and STL.) If it wasn't for the cheap education I wouldn't be here.

It is funny that Rolla tries it's damnedest to sell itself as a tourist hub. The visitor's guide (entitled "White people come here to die") is basically an open invitation to tour the campus, plus go trout fishing. God damn does the area have some trout fishing.

I have at least as much fun in Rolla than I do in St. Louis.

We're townies now. But I've got three days off so I'm getting out of here for a while.

So where do I fit in? ( I marked "assimilated")

FAIL.

...and proof that Jeff in incapable of following instructions, no matter how simple.


Brad, if you call yourself a townie, but didn't show up here until you started college, and you aren't leaving town to see immediate family, then you are assimilated. Otherwise, mark the option for as long as you left.

Haven't been back since I graduated in May, but I'm sure I'll be back sometime next year for one reason or another, even if it's just to satisfy an intense craving of Alex's Pizza and a Slice of Pie.

OK, I don't know if I'd actually drive down there for that. But I do miss those 2 places.

Not me. I figured I've been gone for more than 8 days, so I just chose that

Where is the option for "I'm poor and I have to go home to work"?

I can't stay home for too long or I would go crazy out of my mind. All my friends who live there have jobs that they can go to but since I'm just visiting, I go crazy with boredom.

I still take the STL anyday, although boredom levels are about the same. At least here when I'm bored I can go to a hockey game or something, rather than in Rolla, where I just continue to sit on my ass and do nothing.
