Should have gone with hydrogen, a true monogamous atom. Only ever bonds once, no matter how many other atoms its octet-violating sulfur is sleeping with.

I don't think the votey is correct. Isn't a sigma bond the same as a single bond? C2 has 1 p-sigma bond and two half filled p-pi bonds last I recall.
