y'all can't all be wrong: In Light Of All The Adult Friends Tests That Are Going Around...

I'm wondering how well my three readers know the depths of igknowledge of "y'all can't all be wrong."

A) Like a noid but more of a nword.
B) Nonsensical new words that I make up when I'm too lazy to use real ones.
C) Short for NW ordinance -- like the stupid one we have for jaywalking in Seattle.
D) What's it to you flock face?

2) What is the emoticon [e.g. :-)] for "up your nose with a rubber hose" (hint: see the August Archives). This question is fill in the blank.

3) What is my favorite band in the category of bands-with-an-overabundance-of-pictures-hanging-in-middle-school-lockers-in-the-mid-1980s?

A) It's the license plate number on my car.
B) It's the name of a character from a failed Taxi spin-off that was called Airport Shuttle Service.
C) This one really isn't an answer, but you wouldn't believe how many people do a Google search on "how to spell ferrari?". You spell it F-E-R-R-A-R-I. As far people who are googling on "Who invented the ferrari," you are on your own.
D) It's a verbal paroxysm post, usually leaving the reader totally confused and reaching for his/her crash helmet.

Extra Credit) What is your (as in you the reader, not me the author) favorite "y'all can't all be wrong" post?

whenever i see the vic ferrari category on your blog, it makes me think of the Vic Ferrari Band out of oshkosh or f du lac or wherever in the paper valley of your former home state. then i remember how this group got all the good slots at summerfest when real local acts couldn't(can't)buy there way in.

my fav post, btw, is a recent one about your cats. i need the extra credit, as i probably only got a 50% on yer little quiz. and my one track mind answer on the vic ferrari thing didn't help either.

1. B
2. :-~) (okay, I had to look to get the dash -- but I knew the important part!)
3. B
4. D (and it's one of my favorite kinds of posts)

Extra Credit: That's a tough one. Do we include the subtext?

I'm going with this one.

(Though, this one runs a close second as it was the first entry of yours I read. I'm also fond of the 8/7 subtext.)

Jen -- sure subtext counts -- reminds me that I need to get it in its own category. You got 3 of 4 right, although question #3 is a trick question of sorts... I'll wait until my 3rd reader replies (if she does) before I give the answer away.

Let it go without saying that I answered them correctly apart from #3 - I would have answered B as well.

I think my favorite post is when you called me popular - I love when people get all sarcastic on me. No, that's not really my favorite - I'm not that much of an egomaniac. I'll have to look and find the link for it because I can't explain the content. (No surprise there, since it was one that really twisted up my brain. One of the many, that is.)

Of course, you could naturally assume that I'm a big fat cheater, cheater, pumpkin eater who's piggy-backing Jen's answers but if you did that, you'd be wrong. Dead wrong, mister.

Natalie, the post you have in mind is this one: My Ego Is Bigger Than A '73 Cadillac

And not only do I call you popular, I call you *real* polular. At least I didn't call you poplar.

Also (for Mick) -- my cats on the '73 Cadillac post too.

I should get ultimate supreme-o extra credit for naming several favorite posts!

And I should have expected the trick question! God knows I used enough of them in my quiz. (And, by the way, you correctly ranked those movies by *quality* if not by how much I like them. I freely admit to liking movies that are bad.)

Alright, you want some favorites? I've gotcher favorites right here...I feel like I should be grabbing my crotch when I say that, but that's not what I'm getting at.

In no particular order, we have:

The time you used the words "recursively", "portentous" and "mafuctinsanity" in the same post - still don't know what the last one means. Then there was the post where you misspelled "celebrating", which made me particularly giddy for some reason. And how about the phrase "disposed to cut my throat in intellectual-dog eat intellectual-dog fashion", huh? That's a class turn of phrase right there.

There are many other posts that jumped out at me and I could probably sit here forever, but instead I'll shut up and direct you to the first post I read that made me love you while simultaneously fighting the urge to destroy you.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have some more muthafuggin birthday cake to scarf down, yo.

btw - those cats freak me right the fuck out.

See, that's the difference between you and I. I use phrases like "freak me right the fuck out" and you're over there inventing new nomenclature. Bastard. I should hit you with a thesaurus, I should. I have a dollar right here for my "Punch a blogger in the throat" jar with your name on it, buddy. Just for bein' all smartified an' stuff.

I seem to recall you calling me bi-polar as well...popular, poplar, bi-polar. That rings a bell.

Don't I have cake waiting? Why, yes I do.

Natalie -- you are a saintess. My day's events have me a little off kilter -- but this post, "Stick Your Hand In The Fan And Join My Fingerless Parade" may be my all time favorite. Is it short enough to function as an epitaph? God I just love that one, thank high alimighties that someone noticed. My life is complete.
