Fuck.
20.
God, I can smell the "Ben-Gay" creeping up on me.
I was only born in 1971.
Kill me.
Kill me now.

19. But the only reason it wasn't all 20 was I didn't do eeny-meeny-miney-mo to answer The Ink Spots on question #19.

I like winning, even if it is being the geezeriest person here :blush:

(Crimson Ghost peeked. That's a kid thing, you know, cheating ;) )

OK, so what did I win? A cemetery plot? :reaper:

Nope.
Didn't peek.
I wrote my answers, and figured that there was a link to the answers.
Ah, well, sucks to be me.

Heh! You forgot about your evil twin! I got 19, also. I missed the studebaker question.

I still remember being on long car trips with my folks and falling asleep in the back seat to the sound of my Dad flicking the high beams off and on with that floor button. Later when I turned 16, I was given that same old car to drive and I flicked the beams off and on with my left foot just like my Dad had done. Sometimes to this very day if its late at night and I'm very tired, I'll catch myself feeling on the floor board with my left foot to turn the high lights on! Now, that's geezerhood!

Hee hee, yeah, the Twins would naturally get the same geezer-level :blush: I thought everybody knew about the dimmer button on the floor, every car we owned had one, even the 1969 Cutlass which I bought from the momster. Many of those questions were actually pre-boomer history, and I only knew the answers because I was always listening in when the adults were talking. And besides that, progress used to arrive rather slowly back in North Carolina.

My 1980 Datsun 210 had a floor mounted high beam switch, IIRC.

fargon 01-09-2006 10:32 AM

I got 19 rite, but then I was hatched in 57. Kewl year, my first car was a 50 Chrysler Windsor. And yes the 70s are a blur. :fumette: :bong:

mrnoodle 01-09-2006 11:10 AM

15, but I guessed on a few.

Radar 01-09-2006 12:14 PM

I got 16 and I was born in 69. I almost got 17 with the Howdie Doody question, but I was scared of ventriloquist dummies as a kid and avoided that show.

wolf 01-09-2006 01:30 PM

It also was not on the air when you were a child.

It was off by the time I was a kid too, but I had a recording of the theme song.

keryx 01-09-2006 07:52 PM

16. Would have been 17 but I decided not to count the studebaker question as my hubbie told me the answer. I was born in '69, but I am a Jeopardy champion in training and know a lot of trivia, so that's my excuse. :right:

busterb 01-09-2006 09:03 PM

20, but why should I have not. Dirty old man or sexie senior. Hell I'm older than baseball!

Urbane Guerrilla 01-09-2006 09:38 PM

18. Missed the Studebaker and the pick you up in a taxi.

"I've got a brand new pair of rollerskates/You got a brand new key..."

I'm pretty old. I can remember when Woody Allen was funny!

And when the late Jaime Cardinal Sin's paycheck was... uh... cause for comment...

Sundae 01-10-2006 05:40 AM

14 and proud of it - being born in 1972 in England means this was a test not so much of my age as my ability to pick up on other people's cultural references.

Oh and some guesses of course...
