Friday fun for the pathetic dateless crew

[shalanna]

Those of us who don't have an actual Friday Night DATE are sitting here doing those cool forward-it-4-ever quizzes that come in your e-mail in fruity new flavors and twelve delicious colors. This one was pretty screwed up when it arrived in my in-box, but I correcetd hte spellling and fixed a few of the dumber answer choices. (I even sneaked in a Van Halen question.) You won't do well if you're a young whippersnapper, but then you aren't reading the 'net on Friday night if you are non-old and semi-good-lookin'. You actually got to go to the Eight-Ball All-Night Pool Hall! Maybe I can get hubby to take me after I post this. So good luck with the quiz. But if you're not old enough to score well . . . or is that "score, well. . ."--oh, never mind--it's just for fun.

Ha... that made my evening. I know about 2/3 of those, but some of them are because of Nick at Night. :)

OK... it only partly made my night. The other thing that has me grinning is knowing that while my boyfriend is home cleaning his apartment tonight getting ready for his brother to arrive, he's listening to LES MIS so that he will be all prepped and primed when we go to see it tomorrow night. He borrowed the CD's from a coworker! If you knew JtB, you'd think it was even more adorable than it sounds on the surface. :)

I, on the other hand, am watching a Lifetime movie, eating a hot dog, and trying to decide if bedtime will be 10:00 or 10:30. I'm a real ball of fun tonight!

How awful, I knew them all, even the football one. What a clutter my brain is! Why do numbers fall out after ten seconds, but I can remember fifty year old commercials?

[burningofroissy.livejournal.com]

I knew most of these because my parents are old.

I do not have a date because I am resisting Aphrodite's attempts to torture me by dangling delicious young men just out of my reach and then yanking them away. Screw you, Aphrodite. So I'm pathetic, if pathetic is another word for not gullible.

1. A
2. H. None of the above. The real Fab Four are Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben, of course :-)
3. Like Wesley Clark, John's statement was true and controversial. The Beatles were, at the time, more popular than B. Jesus.
4. Regardless of the correct answer (A, I think), I like the way Carly Simon's statement fits here, so E. You probably think this song is about you :-)
5. It was Fred, Barney, et al (A.) that claimed to be an inner gym.
6. A. Cat Stevens. The dude who soundtracked Harold and Maude, of course. It's probably a good thing he didn't convert to radical Christianity, or he'd have had to rewrite Father and Son to include the Holy Ghost.
7. See usericon. (B.)
8. D. (I gather she's been told to say "Good night, Gracie" already)
9. G. Pepsodent. I never liked that much; I was always a Crest baby.
10. D. Maynard. Who reminds us that this could be construed as WORK!
11. C. John McCain and his amazing flaming trousers.
12. F. The American Way. Which, I see on Google maps, crosses Lois Lane more than once.
13. C. Avenue Q! Puppets and clowns; yeah, things that no kids are scared of.
14. E. Oh, my! We're off to bag a gizzard, that wonderful gizzard of ours... :-)
15. D. Over 30. Which now goes way more than double for him :-)
16. C. Broadway Joe. See what happens when you keep your promises? :-)
17. G. Dab it.
18. G. Running up that hill. Ooops. Sorry, that's the Kate Bush version :-D
19. B for sure; I seem to recall Sally Field did the part, too -- though my memory needs an upgrade.
20. D. I wanna know, who published it and why don't I get royalties and a copy? :-P
21. B. Even though it was based on a misreading of a scientific study, it made Popeye an icon (especially in wartime)
22. A. Boy, could we make jokes about that, now, especially in places like London where they have something like ten surveillance cams per block.
23. F. So they say. I've had the palm colors to say differently more than once.
24. C. Nose. But if you didn't want a horribly dirty word in your answers, you might want to mask D. from the Brits

[newport2newport.livejournal.com]

So, um...are you gonna give us the answers?

:)

[klingonguy.livejournal.com]

Were these supposed to be difficult? Pshaw, I say.

Further proof (not that anyone asked for it) that we're the same age.
