Once again, when I don’t have anything to say, there is an online quiz. Today, the subject is “What year do you belong in”?
Thanks to Homo Sweet Alabama and Shirley Heezgay for steering me onto this. When there is a contest for best blog name… the current titleholder is “Glitter for Brains“… you will both be considered.
HSA belongs in 1950, and SH should stay in 1988.
Since I have the time and inclination, I am going to repeat the quiz here, with my comments following.

 
 


What TV show are you most likely to veg out to? Family Ties, I Love Lucy, Mork & Mindy, The Brady Bunch, 90210

The only one of the five I have ever seen is I Love Lucy.

When you think of a classically beautiful woman, you would have to choose: Marilyn Monroe, Cheryl Tiegs, Cindy Crawford, Twiggy, Christy Brinkley

The only one I can see in my mind is Marilyn. On the blogthings home page, there is a picture of Albert Einstein. Mr. E was a boyfriend of Miss Monroe, according to Shelly Winters.

And the coolest guy: Dennis Hopper, John Travolta, Cary Grant, Brad Pitt, David Hasselhoff

You wind up going for the least offensive selection a lot in this quiz. I picked Dennis Hopper, and try to ignore “Blue Velvet”.

What is your pet cause? Fair Trade, Women’s rights, the environment, Peace, Hygiene

Hygiene? I once took a friend to a party, and was reprimanded by the host about his body odor.
As someone who came of age during Vietnam I would say Peace, even though I was late for that party.

Favorite Movie: The Godfather, Casablanca, Say Anything, The Graduate, Forrest Gump

I picked Casablanca. I am shocked, simply shocked, that a manipulative piece of drivel like Forrest Gump is on the list. I only saw part of The Godfather and The Graduate, although Dustin and Mrs. Robinson is on my yardsale video shelf, and I have every intention of seeing it. I have no idea what Say Anything is about.

What type of music do you prefer?: Swing, Alternative, Pop, Oldies, Classic Rock

This is another fuzzy choice. I am not sure what Alternative is, so I picked it. It sounds like something that Fundies would not like.

What’s your ideal first date?: Hanging out at the lastest dance club, all dressed up, skipping the date and going straight to the hookup, dinner and a movie-dutch, taking off to a rock festival, sharing a milkshake and fries at a diner.

I think that is a typo in the first choice. As out of it as I am, lastest may be the hip compliment of choice.
I opt for going DIRECTLY to the hook up.

You’re cruising down the coastal highway…what car are you driving? A bitchin’ Camaro, A classic Caddy, A convertible BMW, A new model VW Beetle, A sweet cherry red Mustang

Good Grief. Just as long as it doesn’t break down on the south side of town. I chose the Camaro, but pass on “bitchin'” as a modifier. It is rather unfair to mama dogs.

What is your favorite comfort food? Meatloaf, Pop Tarts, Mac N Cheese, Red Bull and Vodka, Fondue

I go through phases of missing mom. Bad. She made the best Meatloaf, and it has been 1988 since I ate any. I had knee surgery, and spent a couple of days at the house recovering. She made this meatloaf, which used dried onion soup.

Finally, how was this quiz? All that and a bag of chips, what a trip!, awesome, far out, a total blast.

I sure am glad that is the last question. All of those phrases are tiresome, with the exception of awesome. The use of awesome should be punishable by death.
I don’t remember which one I chose.
