testing
Blame Jen. She started it. Take my FRIEND TEST and see how well you think you know me. Here's the scoreboard. Of course, I only got 50% on Jen's test, so I suppose I shouldn't throw stones.
[Update: So far my older sister has gotten the highest score - which makes sense in a way, she's gained a lot of insider information over the years. Although I have to admit I was surprised that she got the nickname question correct! Most of those were obscurely used by very few people for very short periods of time. Congrats, lady! You big know-it-all freak.]
In other news, last night our Quizzo team DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION scored our second WIN (in five weeks of play.) Woot! We usually end up in the top three, but this was a solid and truly noteworthy finish. We were in a three way tie for first at the end of the 6th round. In the final round, we beat the closest team by 30 points (we only missed one question and nailed the bonus.) We also set a new record high (for our pub) with our score with 830 points! The satisfaction of winning (and scoring a schweet Budwieser bottle opener/key chain) makes it worth staying up past my bedtime!
*** I have put the answers to the Friend Test in the comments of this post. If you're interested in finding out what you may have missed, click on. But no cheaters, because honestly, they never prosper...and in this economy, you really want to hedge your bets in that arena. ***

SPOILER!! Answers to rebar: fact or fiction
Question 1: I have three siblings: a half brother, a half sister (both who I grew up with) and a younger sister. And no, I usually never mention having a brother. He exists off my day-to-day radar. I only see him when family dies and there is an estate to settle.
Question 2: Olive went missing for 11 days. (cold shiver up my spine)
Question 3: MY worst deadly sin is Sloth. Sure, I'm vain and envious and a glutton fo sho...but the one I would going to hell for, if hell existed, would be Sloth. Word.
Question 4: If I became a millionaire, I would take my shot at professional poker. I would spend my days studying poker, watching poker, talking poker and playing poker. I am passionate about poker! I'd probably have to invest some of it wisely to live that lifestyle and follow that dream, so if you picked that, give yerself half a point.
Question 5: If you want to befriend me, buy me a top shelf Vodka & Tonka...with a lime, bitches! I do imbibe in the seasonal Black and Tan (or when they are on special), which might throw some off. I hate Jack and Diet, so if you picked that, you're the wrongest of the wrong. I do enjoy a nice martini now and again...and a good glass of wine is always a popular choice - but I didn't want to throw folks off entirely, so I left those off.
Question 6: Worst childhood memory was attending the Bozo Show. They thought I was a B-O-Y (so I wasn't picked for the Grand Prize Game...which 3 decades later, I'm STILL convinced I would have gone all the way and won that Schwinn! Dammit!!)...and when posing for pictures after, I stood next to Wizzo (I wanted to hang by Cookie) who smelled oddly of a strong alcoholic scent. Peeing my pants was a walk in the park after that debacle.
Queston 7: My nickname has never been WD40. Yes. People called me E.T and I happily answered to it. My seventh grade year book literally says, "Dear E.T. Stay Sweet over summer! " For reals.
Question 8: If I became an ex-pat, I would up and move to Ireland. I would definitely visit those other cities, but I would bunk down on the Emerald Isle. Guinness and dark haired men with cute accents? Done.
Question 9: Indiana can suck a dick. Tennessee also blows monkey balls, but at least they produced The King. Indiana produces nothing but outhouses and jagoffs. (if you are neither an outhouse or a jagoff, you are the exception to the rule)
Question 10: I am afraid of vampires. I said it. To this day, I can't fall asleep unless I have my neck covered by a sheet or blanket. But, I also know that vampires are not real, therefore my fear is not real, so in my brain as long as the only thing I'm afraid of doesn't exist, then, I fear nothing! Wrap your brain around that one and get back to me.
