Another silly test. This one about age

[ravenna]

Agh! I'm not in my 40s, darnit! I'm 25 and I hate pop culture!

 

[Rosebud]

11 correct, 26 years of age. Hmmmmmmmmmm...

I knew them all, sort of, and I am 38. I could tell what the answer was for the Bob Dylan thing but I could swear that Jerry Rubin was the first person to say "Don't trust anyone over 30."

By the way, does anyone remember the Pogo Christmas song that would show up in Walt Kelly's comic this time of year with bizarre lyrics? Deck the Halls with Boston Charlie, Dad is lolling on the wagon, etc. He would put it in in pieces spread over a few days and it was absolutely ridiculous.

I love the internet! I found the lyrics for Walt Kelly's Christmas song.

Deck us all with Boston Charlie,
Walla Walla, Wash., an' Kalamazoo!
Nora's freezin' on the trolley,
Swaller dollar cauliflower alley-garoo!

Don't we know archaic barrel
Lullaby Lilla Boy, Louisville Lou?
Trolley Molly don't love Harold,
Boola boola Pensacoola hullabaloo!

Bark us all bow-wows of folly,
Polly wolly cracker 'n' too-da-loo!
Donkey Bonny brays a carol,
Antelope Cantaloupe, 'lope with you!

Hunky Dory's pop is lolly gaggin' on the wagon,
Willy, folly go through!
Chollie's collie barks at Barrow,
Harum scarum five alarm bung-a-loo!

Dunk us all in bowls of barley,
Hinky dinky dink an' polly voo!
Chilly Filly's name is Chollie,
Chollie Filly's jolly chilly view halloo!

Bark us all bow-wows of folly,
Double-bubble, toyland trouble! Woof, woof, woof!
Tizzy seas on melon collie!
Dibble-dabble, scribble-scrabble! Goof, goof, goof!

And you thought Billy Corgan came up with the name of Melon Collie!

Call me Grandma Moses

WH:

Thanks so much for making me feel ancient!

I just missed one but I am only 37. I guess that means I watch too many nostalgia shows on my black and white Zenith.

Or I listen to the wrong records on the Victrola. Does anyone know where I can trade in my poodle skirt for that new dungaree look? Just call me on my Princess phone and we can talk about our Mystery Dates. (I hope he doesn't want me to play with his Lincoln Logs or show me his Slinky!)

Then again.....

Here I am on the threshold of 57 and only got 21 right. And it took forever to recall the name Mary Martin and I watched her portrayal of Peter Pan too many times.

 

[Never]

Name the Beatles:
1. John
2. Paul
3. Ringo
4. Err.. Peter? (I think it was one of the apostles)

2. Finish the line: "Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!"
3."Hey kids, what time is it?" It's Howdy Dudty Time!
4. They melt in my mouth, not in your hand.
5. What helps build strong bodies 12 ways? Er, Milk? Special K?
6. Long before he was Mohammed Ali, we knew him as.. Hmmm.
7. You'll wonder where the yellow went,..." I have no frigin' clue.
M-I-C: See ya' real soon; K-E-Y: Why? Because we like you.
Bob Dylan advised us never to trust anyone... over thirty (?)
From the early days of our music, real rock 'n roll, finish this line: "I wonder, wonder, wonder...wonder who;... who she's seeing tonight?"
13. And while we're remembering rock n' roll, try this one:
"War...uh-huh, huh...yea; what is it good for? Absolutely Nothing!
14. Meanwhile, back home in Metropolis, Superman fights a never-ending battle for truth, justice, and 'The American Way.'
15. I don't do football.
16. 'Cause I eats me spinach.'
18. What we have here is a failure to communicate.
22. Some one I don't know said "Good night, Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are."
24. "Liar, liar, Pants on fire."
26. It was Pogo, the comic strip character, who said, "We have met the enemy, and 'they are us'

So, how old am I?
Twenties.. that's pretty good.
