Here is the thread and a poll (no dancing on it, please.)

[cesium133]

I think I know which poll option is going to win. 

[Is it cold in here?]

Are the Kujawiak and Mazur Pole dances?

[cesariojpn]

Which ones have the Superhero Delivery People?

[Mr_Rose]

Penny was never employed at a pizza place, Pizza Girl was/is. Penelope had a job at a bookstore being ogled by the manager.

Actually, that's a point; what do you suppose the CoD crew would do to him should he ever turn up? The place can't be too far away if penne-lope was stopping there on her way home….

[TinPenguin]

Screw space stations, I want to work somewhere I get to dress up as a Victorian gent.

[westrim]

I think I know which poll option is going to win. 

Yeah, but it's important to have options.

Penny was never employed at a pizza place, Pizza Girl was/is.

You can deny it all you want, we know that Penny is Pizza Girl.

Hear, hear!  I look sharp in victorian kit, and apparently have a knack for listening & selling alcohol...

[ChaoSera]

As a (future) scientist, the only viable option for me is the space station. SPAAAAAAAAACE! (yes, that was a portal joke)

Second place would be The Horrible Revelation, though.

[Loki]

So many people voting Space Station  Why? It requires a lot of exercise, you are locked up with the same 200 people or so and you cannot get out. Sure, the view is great, and you get bragging rights, but otherwise I fail to see the appeal.

Lasers! (Hopefully not dye lasers, though)

I'll have a double racist grandma on the rocks, thanks.

I know you are mate! Yep. We're both in space.

[DSL]

It does lack a certain atmosphere, but I think I could make myself useful on the station. I'd volunteer for a lot of EVA window cleaning duty.
Failing that, Earthside ground support for Spaceship.

[Loki]

It does lack a certain atmosphere

Please consider tipping the pun jar.

[Carl-E]

But if he tips it over, how will it ever hold any more puns? 

[Welu]

I picked Sven's assistant because that's how much I want to see more of him.

[Loki]

But if he tips it over, how will it ever hold any more puns?

Cesium already tipped it over, that's why it's sideways.

[cesium133]

He could always tip it back up so it can hold puns again.

[Loki]

I'm not touching that thing.

Besides, you broke it, you make it right again 

[Renewman]

Yup, Marigold likes him. 

[Zebediah]

Screw space stations, I want to work somewhere I get to dress up as a Victorian gent.

Why can't you dress up as a Victorian gent on the space station?

[WAYF]

Because Victorian gentlemen have a certain air of British dignity, old chap about them. It's hard to be dignified when you're bouncing around on a space station in zero gravity.

I have no such dignity, so I would be happy to be, e.g. a janitor on the space station or something. That'd be awesome. (It's about the only thing I would qualify for up there. Probably every other job involves literal rocket science.)

[GarandMarine]

*dances on the poll in a very erotic fashion*

No coins please.

[Method of Madness]

Nowhere that Cosette has ever worked.

[cesium133]

*dances on the poll in a very erotic fashion*

No coins please.

*throws the quarters that Loki keeps demanding for the pun jar at GarandMarine*

[DrBear]

So many people voting Space Station  Why?

Two words: Spathe. Ham.

[mtmerrick]

I nearly voted LANpark.

[westrim]

I set it to allow people to change their votes, but I don't see any option to do so.

As for puns, I have a solution! Here's a pun box |_| To cover it, here's a lid _, and here's a roll of tape to repair any holes o

[celticgeek]

I bet that Veronica would do it, too.

[Skewbrow]

It does lack a certain atmosphere, but I think I could make myself useful on the station. I'd volunteer for a lot of EVA window cleaning duty.

A lot of stardust building up there. Your employment will be secure!

[cesium133]

Can you follow and memorize simple directions in English? If so I'll hire you as an assistant in my lab on the space station to help with running the lasers.

[Skaltura]

What's next? Dora's parents start swinging with Marten's Dad and Maurice?

[Is it cold in here?]

Jim is arithmetically young enough to be her child.

[Loki]

Source?

The instant Tai went "hmmmm...", I knew it couldn't be good.

[cesariojpn]

Source?

Jim is 40 (41 now).

The only clues I could gather from Dora's parents age wise is her dad goosed Nancy Regan while she was the First Lady. Or am I not getting the query right?

[Carl-E]

Jim's only 41, assuming he's had that birthday he was talking about. 

Depending on Veronica's age when Marten was born, if she was mid-twenties as he is now, she's be late forties / early fifties.  Could be pushing 60, though, if she were early 30's when Marten was born. 


How did Jim and Dora's folks wind up involved?   Focus, people, focus!

[Loki]

Carl: TvTropes Pair The Spares, I think, it is called.

[Is it cold in here?]

56.

[Kugai]

Train wreck anyone?

[Is it cold in here?]

Oh lord. Either it's random throwaway humor or it's foreshadowing.

[jwhouk]

Ah, but it would be a BEAUTIFUL train wreck.

[FunkyTuba]

Penelope had a job at a bookstore being ogled by the manager.
Actually, that's a point; what do you suppose the CoD crew would do to him should he ever turn up? The place can't be too far away if penne-lope was stopping there on her way home….

Milk in the face? Bondage? Threatening by sword? So many precedents...or maybe he has a new job as an exterminator?

[Mlle Germain]

I also picked the space station, since I consider myself  as a future scientist, too. I'm surprised so few people picked CoD, though. That would definitely have been my second option. Or maybe the library.
As for Jim and Veronica: I sort of don't see that happen. And that has absolutely nothing to do with age difference. I mean, how would they happen to meet if Marten does not want to participate in setting them up (which I in his situation certainly would not do).

Veronica drops by while on a trip to NY to, ahem, talk with her publishers. She takes another walkabout, this time down a street no one ever knew was there, gets hungry for baked goods, and ...

[toffee-skye]

i feel i'd be in the same boat as Marigold in zero-gravity, and i'm usually pretty good at holding on to my lunch! 
so i voted Coffee of Doom. but i don't know if they'd take another big-butted hipster girl with black glasses.

[muon]

I chose the space station, seeing as how I'm a scientist and all, although being a theoretical physicist, there's not really any reason for me to be in space other than the cool factor. Come to think of it, though, microgravity might not be the best for skirt-wearing, and I do so very much enjoy skirts. Perhaps I should reconsider.

[DSL]

There are always culottes. They'll probably bunch up less, too, if you have to get into your spacesuit right away.

[GarandMarine]

Team Space Station here, I'm sure Lt. Potter's security team can find a use for me. "Orbital Designated Marksman" I like the sound of that. If not I'll go work for Hannersmom, selling your soul out pays surprisingly well, and we have similar aesthetic tastes. (Make a pile of human skulls)

In other news, oh what a tangled web we weave jephizba! Martin you might end up with a step sister in her /teens/ out of this! Can you really risk it? Can you really take the chance? There's only one option new friend. You have to kill the little one and dispose of the body before her idea spreads further.

That aside Martinmom is A. hot and B. awesome, so I can't see Jim not being up for that.

Till the whips come out any way.

[Mlle Germain]

..., although being a theoretical physicist, there's not really any reason for me to be in space other than the cool factor.

Ohhh, me too! Theoretical physicist, I mean. Aspiring mathematical physicist, in fact, though still a student. What do you do?
I still think the space station is a good idea, because there are so many apparently excellent scientists around to exchange ideas with. Some of them actually seemed to be theorists.
(Little anecdote on "scientists" I just thought of: In the application for my master's degree, I accidentally typed scientits. Almost would have submitted it like that, too! Luckily, I still noticed.)

Edit: Fixed typo.
