Quiz-Things (Page 10)

SamuraiFrog did this one. A negative quiz! Yay!!! Foods which disgust the crap out of me: Broccoli’s health benefits, coupled with the fact that it tastes like the essence of Satan distilled into a vomitous weed, offer proof that God has at least a wee bit of perversity inside him. TV show I loathe: Anything on FOX “News”, particularly Glenn Beck, which I sometimes have to endure at the Y because I’ll get the exercise bike that’s in front of the teevee playing it. The man’s a stupid and deranged lunatic. Movie I loathe: I could go on for someDown the rabbit hole….

I don’t remember where I got this one, because I wrote it and saved it a long time ago for future posting…and then forgot completely about it. The rule is simple: it’s twenty things you’d like to say to someone, but don’t because it would either be socially awkward, unwise, or just plain impossible. But you do this without naming names! Cool, huh? So, here are things I’d like to say. To…someone. 1. With your pathological need for being right combined with your obsessive taste for arguing the smallest point in any discussion in order to salvage some ground onDown the rabbit hole….

I saw this quiz at SamuraiFrog‘s place. It’s a bit more explicit than the kind of thing I usually do, but…well, it’s a new year and all, so here goes. 1. You can press a button that will make any one person explode. Who would you blow up? Rush Limbaugh. Preferably when he’s standing next to Sarah Palin and Joe Lieberman. 2. You can flip a switch that will wipe any band or musical artist out of existence. Which one will it be? Wow, this isn’t nice. Ye Gods! I wouldn’t want to wipe anyone from existence, but there’s aDown the rabbit hole….

I saw this Christmas quiz-thing over at SamuraiFrog‘s place, but I noticed that apparently the thing has a huge number of questions, which caused him to pare it down a bit. I, on the other hand, tend to be weirdly obsessive about quiz-things (even though I’m noticing that fewer interesting ones seem to be making the rounds these days), so I Googled a bit and dug up the entire thing. And boy howdy, is it big. Ye Gods! However, I am undaunted, so here we go. (I got it from Knitting is my Boyfriend, by the way. Never seen thatDown the rabbit hole….

I got this from Kerry, who dubbed this a “dumbass quiz”. Strangely, the word “dumbass” appears nowhere in the quiz. Odd…. 1. 3 living things you treasure The Wife, The Daughter, and as of right now, Abe Vigoda. 2. 3 non-living things that you treasure My 11-in-1 screwdriver, my laptop, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. 3. favorite time of the year and why Fall, because temps become nicely comfortable, the world gets prettier, and the Bills start playing…oh wait, forget that last one. 4. favorite things to wear This question is too hard to answer. 5. are you a perfume wearer?Down the rabbit hole….

Roger has a quiz, and since I haven’t done a quiz in a while, here goes! 1. What is the color of your toothbrush? White with magenta trim. I started using those battery-powered vibrating toothbrushes a while back. I like the tickling. 2. Name one person who made you smile today. A guy I work with who called me just to speculate on who the Bills’ new coach will end up being. 3. What were you doing at 8 am this morning? Either scraping off old caulk on a fixture at The Store or installing a stainless steel splash guardDown the rabbit hole….

I haven’t done a quiz-thing in a really long time, so here’s one I’m stealing from Roger: A- Advocate for: Combating global warming; the merits of the Star Wars Prequels; the dismissal of everyone with the Buffalo Bills above the rank of “kid who fills the cups with Gatorade”. B- Best Feature: Either my brain or my hair. C- Could do without: Joe Lieberman. I’m sure glad they gave him a stern talking-to back in January; it’s turning out well. D- Dreams and desires: To write something that’s good. E- Essential items: Books, music, movies, hand and power tools, myDown the rabbit hole….

Well, that post title should cover it all, shouldn’t it? Anyhow, Jason and SamuraiFrog did this quiz-thing, and I’m always willing to follow wherever angels tread, or something like that, so here we go: 1. Most hated food: Well, this is a no-brainer, and longtime readers can see my answer coming a mile away. So, here it is: broccoli is the purest distillation of pure evil in plant form as you will ever find on this planet. 2. Most hated person: I don’t like hating people, really. There are lots of people I dislike intensely, and the word “hate” canDown the rabbit hole….

Belladonna has a quiz thing! And I haven’t done a quiz thing in a long time, so hey, here goes. Pretty straightforward. 8 Things I am looking forward to: 1. Seeing Star Trek. I’m still deeply skeptical about the whole “reboot” thing — I’m not wild about a Jim Kirk who never went back in time and fell in love with Edith Keeler, who never put a guy named Khan on a deserted planet, who never had to deal with a ship full of tribbles — but I’m hearing that the movie is good, and I do like good movies.Down the rabbit hole….

I snagged this from Roger: 1. Did you date someone from your school senior year? No. I went on exactly one date in high school, a few months before graduation, with a girl from a different school. I was evidently unimpressive as a date, since my three or four calls for a subsequent date were blown off with the “I’m busy” excuse. 2. Did you marry someone from your high school? No. 3. Did you car pool to school? No. I rode with parents until I got my license, after which time I drove myself. 4. What kind of carDown the rabbit hole….
