Results: The Real Best Of Bend 2006
09.08.2006
Without further ado, The Real Best Of Bend 2006: 1. Best Place To Buy A Slurpee:
Winner:7-Eleven
Runner Up: Ummmmm. Duh, this was to see if you were paying attention. And you were. That's the thing about voting and polls, you have to weed out the loonies. 2. Best Roundabout To Drive In Circles:
Winner:the "SEX" roundabout
Runner Up: Chicken with the butt on fire. Makes you proud to be a Bendite, with landmarks such as these. 3. Best Intersection To Get Run Over In:
Winner:Downtown
Runner Up: 3rd Street (various locations) Yes, it's true that danger lurks around every corner and sometimes on straight roads as well. Of course it's hard to drive safe when you've got the latte in one hand, the cell phone in the other and your trying to eat your Whopper at the same time. Life is hard. 4. Best Nachos At 3am:
Winner:Rigoberto's
Runner Up: 7-Eleven 7-Eleven does deserve some love from the fact you can just fill the plastic tub up with cheese (leave the chips in the bag) and go crazy when you get home. Yes, I said crazy. 5. Best Fast Food Combo Meal:
Winner:Burger King
Runner Up: Carl's Pastrami 'Boiger' It's hard not to love a 'boiger', but BK rules the planet. Obviously, I swayed too many voters with my reviews of the Triple Whopper, the Double Whopper and Whoppers in general. El Whoppero rides again! 6. Best Road To Drive Fast & Furious:
Winner: The Long Ones
Runner Up: Hwy 20 (AKA the road to nowhere) I agree, straight ones work much better. 7. Best Skanky Bar:
Winner: The D&D
Runner Up: The Grove "Skanks R' Us" I think on reputation alone I've never ventured in the D&D, and I won't be any time soon either. 8. Best Milkshake:
Winner: Dandy's / Goody's (tie)
Runner Up: KTVZ's Newsroom Honestly, whoever voted for the runner up, please let me know. Does Bob Shaw have some extra talents we're not aware of? 9. Best Destruction Of Former Shopping Mall:
Winner: Mountain View Mall
Runner Up: Bend River Mall Well, back when they were malls it was the same way, so why would you expect the results now to be any different. Don't you miss the days when K-Mart was the best place to, well, get cheap crap at a mall? 10. Best Place To Scam Free WIFI:
Winner: Downtown vicinity
Runner Up: My parent's house Whoever voted for "my parent's house", please clue us in. 11. Best Place To Step In Dog Poop :
Winner: Drake Park
Runner Up: Pampered Pooch Salon True, Drake Park is by far the best place to step in lots of things: dog poop, duck and geese poop, used needles and other paraphernalia. I would have thought at the Dog Salon, the dogs were actually wearing Pampers. Maybe I'm mistaken. 12. Best Family Dinner For Under $20:
Winner: It Can't Be Done
Runner Up: Dumpster Diving Why do you think I asked the question. Argh! 13. Best Donuts:
Winner: Richard's
Runner Up: Alberston's Truly, Richard's makes a mean pastry and an even meaner waistline. 14. Best Z21 Anchor Not Named Bob Shaw :
Winner: Huh?
Runner Up: The Hot Blonde One With votes like "Bob Shaw", and blank stares I'm starting to think everyone is on the Bob Shaw fan club’s payroll. Have a sparkling $20 bill! 15. Best Time For People Watching At Wal-Mart:
Winner: During Hunting Season
Runner Up: Any Time True, it's a good time anytime. You get to see "walking conditions" you never knew existed. The toughest part is the aisles are so narrow you have to watch up close. Ewwww... 16. Best Place To Mind Your P's & Q's :
Winner: Church
Runner Up: Stars If I was confused on minding your P's & Q's before, this didn't help. Church and a strip club. Maybe there are different P's and Q's than I know about. 18. Best Chips & Salsa:
Winner: La Rosa
Runner Up: Not La Rosa Damn, I just miss Baja Norte. Yep, Longboard Louies has good chips and salsa too. 19. Best Entertainment For Cheapskates:
Winner: People Watching / Pooping (tie)
Runner Up: Drake Park Skank Bikini Marathon Hopefully people don't confuse and try them at the same time, especially during the Drake Park Skank Bikini Marathon. And Finally... 20. Best Central Oregon Blog:
Winner: monkeyinabox.net
Runner Up: utterlyboring.com Ha! Bob Shaw isn't the only one bribes his fan club members. Of course my promise of anything besides the results of this poll were greatly exaggerated. So, now you know, and knowing is half the battle.

Milkshake = boobs. And no, it wasn't me.

This was rigged if Red Robin has been left off the list. Not amused, monkey man.

Doesn't say much for Bend really.

Jake - DUH!!!!! Actually, I got more than twice as many votes than you did.
Mrs. H - Hmmmmm. Tell Slider to fess up then.
Karla - Red Robin? Ahhh, so you're the one who voted Red Robin on every entry, except for roundabouts and the best blog (which you couldn't even make up your mind about). Obviously you overdosed on the RR fries at your last meal and in a state of RR bloaty-ness you come on here and voted with your stomach and not your mind. Detox! Detox!
Joey - Brie or Muenster?

My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard,
And their like
It's better than yours,
Damn right it's better than yours,
I can teach you,
But I have to charge
