What is your favorite single-celled organism?
 

Post 'why' if you're so inclined.

The Cellar - otherwise it would be named "The Cellars"

Single cell organisms are the shit.

They make up the bulk of it, at least.

You should edit the poll to allow write in candidates. I vote "Other": Yeast.

Name two things commonly found in cells.

You forgot to put my favorite one in the poll: Blonde Brain

You can't edit a poll, silly goose.

I'm gonna make like an amoeba and split.

Hobos.

Otis.

Amoebas are the gold standard of single celled organisms.

Really, you got the win, place, and show with the three in the poll. It's all about mobility.

Amoebas and their pseudopod, parameciums and their cilia, euglenas and their flagella.

(And no, I don't know from Latin plural vs. singular...)

Perhaps, but paramecia have those cool hairs that paddle them through water. And they have a mouth, of sorts.

That sounds like a monad with questionable morals. :lol:

Yes, monad. Great word eh?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicellular_organism

Non-motile cells are highly underrepresented in this poll, a fact I can only ascribe to pervasive ballot-tampering and nepotism in the semifinals. Proteus vulgaris was totally robbed.

I don't like the monads that can't move. They use all the monad carts at the Wal-mart, and park like they're the queen.

And when that guy said "Your mother wears army boots and your dad is an amoeba" it was a completely untrue insult.

:lol:

I mean

:bolt:

Green smelly bugs are never invited to parties, but they make their presence known.

Paramecia have cilliae, and look like they're moving hasted than they really are. You know, like a Lambourghini Countache.

What is your favorite single-celled orgasm?

... tmi warning.























the vasectomy reduced the volume noticeably, hopefully to below single cell levels. It's been great!

Is that like a horizontal landing strip?

I couldn't help but notice that Rick Santorum wasn't included in this poll.

monster's was funnier.

As a "for reals" answer, I gotta go with V. Yeast - necessary for bread, cinnamon rolls, and beer. That beats cilia any day.

Your father was an amoeba, and your mother smells of growth medium. I ferment in your general direction.

you damn her with faint praise, mine wasn't funny at all, though her's is.





her joke, that is.

I guess I killed two birds with one stone.

I am unable to come up with any smart ass pun or wisecrack on this topic.


Seriously, I've tried.

I'm worried. I should go to the doctor.

just ask the mirror

Maybe you've come down with a bug. Yeast infections are the worst. :cool:

4 out of 9 Dwellars prefer paramecia.

______________________________________________________

We've secretly replaced footfootfoot's amoeba with a paramecium. Let's see if he notices.

Paramecia: Number 8 in your program, Number 1 in your heart.

'why'

Do you have the authority to change the bylaws and override the vote of the flock ?

And besides, paramecia do display both sexual and asexual multiplication,
and we don't want any of those "hybrids" in our congregation.

Ya know, I found this lovely song on YouTube the other day (under other circumstances) but it applies here perfectly. I offer this in rebuttal to you, Lamplighter, because I trust you'll see it in the humorous spirit I intend. I had envisioned introducing it in some other, more genuinely hostile conversation, I may still do so. But for now, I have this to say about that!



ps, please expand the lyrics in the description for a fuller understanding of this very cheerful "sounding" song :D

It does have a nice melody !:rolleyes:

I have no authority. I fought it, it always wins.

You're a protist! Well, actually you're an anti-protist! :p:

btw, happy voter monkey, you're the best. How can you love just one, they're all so adorable! :)

What's your angle? :rolleyes:

I'm so inclined...

How inclined are you?

I'm so inclined, I need a protractor to get things straight.

That incongruent statement might encompass a lot of parallel ideas.

(I'm sorry. Really. I know. It's awful. I'm sorry.)

:lol:

I'm acute. :blush:

Why's everything got to be a cell? I vote for the classic, hemorrhagic, zombie apocalypse-causing virus.

I'll vote for the transmissible spongiform encephalopathy-causing prions,
just to show I can be either: a protist and/or an anti-protist.

spermatozoon

Prions are either proteins or multicellular organisms.

:corn:

my current fave sso is Rick Snyder.

Euglena. Cause I feel like it's actually a girl's name. LOL

I knew a girl in HS named Eugena. Yeah, we called her Euglena.

I know.

She used to call me up every day after school and cry about how mean you guys were.

what about the :sadsperm: ?

Or is he more than one celly?

Ima go with the brain-eating amoebae. They just rock.
