and this would be my first article: Everyone with an email account gets those stupid surveys ("Do you like cheese?" "Which is better, lime green or forest green?"). They can get pretty repetitive to fill out, and sometimes, being coxies, our answers really weird people out. For example (and these are all real questions I swiped from real surveys): Q. Number of candles that appeared on your last birthday cake: A. Cake? I don't get to eat cake anymore. Q. Favourite colour: A. The reddish tinge of a blister just before it breaks. A. The colour of my cox-box screen glowing eerily green like nuclear radiation in the early, early morning. Q. Favourite Word or Phrase: A. Let it run. (I think that one works for both cox and rower.) Q. Favourite smells: A. The stench of the canal in the evening. A. Dead fish on the docks. A. Musty boat shoes. Q. Lefty or righty? A. _________ insert port, starboard, bisweptual, scull, or "can steer with either hand" here
Q. Favourite number:
A."In two"
So just thing how much easier it would be for us if coxies wrote internet surveys
Q. WEIGHT:
A. well, there's no way I'm answering this one on the internet!
Q. NAME: Jillian

Q. FAVOURITE ROWING WEBSITE:
A. rowersworld, for the crazy disscussion board
Q. HAVE YOU EVER DATED A MEMBER OF YOUR CREW?
A. mmm... yes, even though the Coxswain's Manual told me not to (the only time I've ever gone against it... and probably the last)
Q. BEST COXING MEMORY:
A. our first medal in the spring; the race where we came from sixth place to win a silver at canadian schoolboy
Q. WORST CALL EVER MADE:
A. "Keep in set up in the bow, and in the stern too,
like, no one don't set it up... ah, screw it." "Hey, look over there, guys - Cows!"
Q. FIRST THING YOU EVER HIT:
A. A double. Yes, that's right.
So, if anyone has anything else to add, I'd be happy to see it - and let's see if we can't pass this along to all our coxing friends. Cyberspace deserves at least one killer survey!

Q. Favourite smells:
A. ehm the smell of early morning..I really don't like getting up for the early morning traings..but once I get at the boathouse..all is well and I'm enjoying the smell of freshness....that is until the oarseman start dripping in one by one..unwashed just came rolling out of their beds 5 minutes before they had to be there...yuch
Q. Lefty or righty?
A. _________ insert port, starboard, bisweptual,
scull, or "can steer with either hand" here...
I am bisweptual with a light tendency towards port, I love sculling and am more of a sternloaded coxie because I'm a bit of a visual type of person..I do feel things as well, but I get way more info by seeing..esp in headraces I like to see how my crew is doing mentally..so I can adjust my commands to fire them up when I can tell by their faces it's about to fade..oh and I can steer with both hands
Continued.....
Q. Favourite number:
A. build to max in 3 then push ten and give 10 more for the stroke..10 brutals for the powerhouse..10 for the bow..let me see you are kings and push 10 more for club and crew

Q. FAVOURITE COURSE TO RACE:
A. Head of the River in Amsterdam..because of ehm..de Hoerenbocht/prostituee curve...don't know how to translate that..and because it's a course where a good coxswain can cut many many meters from the total length when strategicly steered
