1. Are you bigger than a breadbox?
Slightly.

2. Have you ever been in prison?
Not yet. But I am looking for a place to get a free education and a vacation at the same time. Hopefully I'll go for something more interesting than a grotesque amount of parking infractions.

3. Are you older than any of your aunts or uncles?
Not that I know of.

4. Righty or lefty?
Yes.

5. Do you put ketchup or mustard on a hot dog?
I don't eat hot dogs anymore.

6. Who is the best rock band of all time?
There isn't one. There are many!!! Unfair- too unfair.

7. Are you older or younger than 30?
Another Yes. How did you guess?

8. If a train traveling 45 mph headed west, and 15 minutes later, a train traveling 49 mph follows it, how long until the second train catches the first?

9. Do you consider fish to be meat?
Yes, the only one I like raw. If a man really loves you he takes you out for sushi and hibachi.

10. Do you believe we actually landed on the moon?
Yes

answer in your own words. and for christsakes, don't cheat.

you must get 70% or better to pass. good luck

from here

4, 6, 7, 8. do you see the pattern? non answers are the only really wrong ones. it is possible to score more than one point on a question if you really nail it, too. don;t worry, i have no hand. just scads of respect (read fear of ridicule) from the collective. at any rate, i've been trying to axe one particular member for about 2 years, and the best i could manage was about a 3 month break. oh well. one day i will be king.

Hmmm..... I think they've been scoring my employment applications like that-too lazy to read a resume or call various references.

Thanks for helping with the job hunt!

Why would you actually try to axe another member anyway?

lumberjim · 10-19-2006, 05:30 PM

i'll not color your perceptions by telling you why....or who. I probably shouldn't have brought it up at all. nevermind.

Hey, Cicero. I'm new here too, but too shy to start my own thread.

A good thing, too - I'd definitely fail LJ's quiz. Non-answers are my specialty! :p

10-20-2006, 02:14 PM

Hey man... I'm Rob. Always listen to what I say, I'm always right.

First, never pass-out around Flint, he'll do ya'.

LOL - My boss just came into my office to see why I was laughing so loudly. You all now have detention for getting me into trouble!!
The important people here are the ones who tell/type you what you need to know not what you want to hear. They are a great group of peeps many of whom I would love to party with - if I still partied that is. Then again they may be worth fallin off the wagon to get wasted with. Maybe I'll see how this drunken post night thing goes and decide later. Oh my, I'm rambling. You passed the test in my book - in fact I gave you extra credit for the "Yes" answers. You being new and not knowing and all. anyway have a great weekend all.
