[Rumple Foreskin]

20/20

That score once again validates the contention that I'm a run down, beaten down, slapped down, broken down, shot down, hung down, put down, and kicked around old Boomer who's been beaten up, tied up, chewed up, blown up, hung up, screwed up, messed up, held up, and told to shut the fack up.

DG, what's really sad is my score would have been the same if that had been a fill-in-the-blank instead of a multiple-guess test.

20/20 also.

This early in the morning I'm surprised I managed it without my brain imploding.

 

[starrkers]

16/20, which is a tad scary seeing as I'm on the other side of the planet to where a lot of these occurred.

not to bad for a guy that is starting to have trouble rememering things.

 

[elfin_odalisque]

15/20 - but I owe a few to the annoying comments of my father.

Got a problem with M&M's cos I was told that started with Treets that became Minstrels that became M&Ms and was also used for Maltezers. Just a standard Mars slogan for that kind of candy.

Nice to know you stereotyped RF.

Fuckin'-A, Bubba. <sigh> I'm an old fart, too. (The proof of this is that I came up here to the office to take the four pills I have to take in the morning, as opposed to the two in the afternoon or the six at night. Fuck.)

 

[glynndah]

20/20, but I must confess I saw this same test two years ago, although it was fill in the blank then. My score was the same.

Hi Glynndah, my good witch friend. It good to know that you can even remember something from two years ago. Hey, I was able to change my A/V, guess I have a little memory left too.

Mine's been the same the entire three years.

 

[freshface]

16/20 for me. What's really scary is that I can remember the shows and ad jingles that went with some of these. Funny what sticks with you as you get older.

 

[LaLaLilly]

I wonder how the under forty group does.

17/20...And for some of them I was thinking...how or why do I know this?...but then again, I'm not too too far away from 40...lol

14/20

 

[Liar]

11 - And quite happily ignorant of American television memes.

Just proves what I have said all along....


I'm three days older than dirt and have too much trivia floating around in my head. That's why I have trouble remembering my own name sometimes.

 

[DesertPirate]

20/20 Which proves I am a resident of the "Old Farts Cave"

I lived thru all that. Damn commercials and catch phrases stick in your mind like a suction cup to a windowpane.

I'd like to see one of these quizzes that covers pop culture from the 1960's to the 1990's.

Sounds like a task for the trivia oriented and imaginative among us.

Considering all that stuff went down in the 50's (pretty much) that's excellent.
