...it's not dark yet, but it's gettin' there...
For those who followed the various sidebar polls, and others who are merely curious, here are some results that I never got around to mentioning, due to a lack of interest on my part.
You all voted for the World's Greatest Australian, and the results are finally in. I couldn't disagree more.
In what universe does a non-celebrity like Kylie Minogue beat Angus Young (who rules the known universe)?
That's b.s., but whatever.
Anyways, here's Kylie's banned lingerie commercial for whoever stuffed the ballot box. Enjoy.
Tonight was the finale of the real Jeopardy's Tournament of Champions. Well, here at Annika's Journal we've just concluded our own contest, and I'm about to announce the new 2006 Annika's Jeopardy Champion.
The Final Jeopardy clue was very hard, I know. I test googled it first, just to make sure. The category was "Heroes," and the clue was: "A famous historian once described him thusly: 'He is incapable of violent action, he never raises his voice.' Yet today he is recognized as one of the Greatest Generation's great leaders."
The famous historian was Stephen E. Ambrose, if that helps any. The correct response will be revealed in the extended entry.
Let's see how the contestants did, shall we?
As on tv, we begin with the contestant who started with the lowest dollar total. That would be Skippy Stalin.
Skippy bet all of his $100, and guessed "Dwight David Eisenhower." Unfortunately, the judges can't accept that response, since it wasn't in the form of a question. Hey, I don't make the rules. So Skippy goes down to $0.
Next we have Drake Steel.
Drake wagered his entire $100, then apparently was so stumped by the clue that he failed to respond at all. Sorry Drake, you're down to zero.
Let's see how Trint did.
Trint also bet his whole wad, $200. And like Drake, he had no response to the clue so he also goes down to zero. Maybe you'll have better luck with your next CD, dude.
Next up is Blu.
Blu wagered his entire stash of $300. Perhaps he was preoccupied by his ongoing 12 round slugfest with Strawman, since Blu completely forgot to send me a response. Down to zero, my friend.
On to the Maximum Leader.
Maximum Leader wagered all of his $300 (I sense a pattern here). His guess was interesting, "Who is... Omar Bradley." Sorry dude, it was not the G.I. General. You are now tied with everybody else, at zero.
Law Fairy is next up.
Law Fairy also decided to bet it all, in her case that was $500. I like her guess, "Who was Audie Murphy?" But unfortunately, that is not the correct response either. Go join the rest of the contestants with zero point zero dollars.
Let's check on Victor.
Victor bet all $700 of his hard earned money, and guessed "Who is Dwight D. Eisenhower?" Close. Ambrose did write a fine two volume biography of the General, but Ike actually had a famous temper, so the quote doesn't fit. Victor goes to zero too.
Next is Shelly.
Shelly bet it all too. He had $1000. I say "had" because he guessed "Who is (was) Mahatma Gandhi?" which is also interesting, but way off. Shelly is now tied with everybody else in the basement.
Tuning Spork.
The Spork guessed "Who was Pope John Paul II?" He also lost his entire $1500 too. Gosh, what if everybody tied with zero? Has that ever happened before?
D-Rod brought the second highest dollar total.
With all $1600 of his dollars, D-Rod guessed "Who is Gandhi?" same as Shelly. Great minds think alike, I guess. While the Ambrose quote might very well apply to Gandhi, the historian was talking about someone else. So D-Rod loses it all.
Finally there is Leif, who had the distinction of having gotten the most correct responses this year. Like Tuning Spork, Leif also incorrectly guessed "Who is John Paul II?" But what did he wager?
$1301 of his $1900 total.
Wow, Leif was the only contestant to hold something back, and as a result he is the new Annika's Jeopardy Champion with a total of $599! Congratulations Leif!
Well, that was an exciting finish this year. Thanks for playing!
Oh my goodness, I almost forgot to tell you the correct response.
The full quote, from Stephen Ambrose's Band of Brothers, is this:
He is incapable of violent action, he never raises his voice, he is contemptuous of exagerration, self-puffery, or posturing. He has achieved exactly what he wanted in life, that peace and quiet he promised himself as he lay down to catch some sleep on the night of June 6-7, 1944 . . .Got it yet?
Here's the rest:
. . . and the continuing love and respect of the men he commanded in Easy Company in World War II.There you go. If you've read the book, or seen the miniseries, you'd probably remember "who is Captain Richard Winters." If not, he is definitely a hero you'll want to learn more about.
Here it is, the Final Jeopardy clue. Players have until the 11:59 p.m. Pacific time on Thursday, September 7th to email your responses to me. Remember, you must have already emailed me your Final Jeopardy wager to be eligible to play.
You can email your responses to me by clicking here.
The clue is in the extended entry. Good Luck!
It's time for Final Jeopardy with Annika. Thanks to everyone who participated in this game. Last year we had twelve visitors on the board, and this year we had fifteen, so that's pretty cool.
Last year's winner was Trevor, and we will definitely have a new champion this year since Trevor didn't play. (Unless he was the fake Law Fairy.)
Final Jeopardy will be open to anyone who has money in the game.
That would be:
Leif $1900
D-Rod $1600
Tuning Spork $1500
Shelly $1000
Victor has $700
Law Fairy $500
Maximum Leader $300
KG $300
Blu $300
Kevin Kim $300
Matt of Overtaken By Events $200
Trint $200
Drake Steel $100
TBinSTL $100
SkippyStalin $100
Just like on tv, you can wager from $0 up to the entire total of what you've earned in the game, or any amount in between.
Rules will be a little different this year, to conform more closely with the tv show. First, the players will email me their wagers, based on the category, without knowing the clue. All wagers must be in to me by Tuesday night, September 5, 2006, at 11:59 p.m. Pacific time.
After I get the wagers, I'll post the clue and there will also be another time limit for the responses.
Comments will be closed, so wagers and responses must be e-mailed to me. The correct response must be phrased in the form of a question. There's no need to buzz in for Final Jeopardy.
The Final Jeopardy category is "Heroes." Think about your wagers and send the amounts to me by clicking here.
The penultimate round. (I love using using the word penultimate in a sentence. There, I did it twice.) This means that after this round, we move on to Final Jeopardy!

Okay, since nobody has a clue about the clue in Round 21, here's the full album cover with the letters blocked out.
You people are mostly older than me, I'm surprised you're not up on your 80's bands.
If Nobody gets it, D-Rod will retain control of the board. I probably won't post anything this weekend, since my brother's in town and I'm going to hang out with him. But you never know.
D-Rod gets the last Daily Double!
Let's go over the Daily Double rules once again.
The rules for Daily Double are almost the same as on tv, with an important exception. In my game everybody gets to play the Daily Double.
Every response must have a wager in it. The lowest you can wager is $100 and the highest you can wager is either $500 or however much money you have earned already, whichever is higher. Or you can wager any amount in between.
Since D-Rod picked the Daily Double, his response gets priority. If you guess before him you run the risk of tipping him off to the correct response. If D-Rod either guesses wrong or does not respond by the expiration of his time limit (9:00 p.m. Pacific time on Thursday) the rest of the responses will count in order of their posting.
Here are the official standings. Tuning Spork is ahead with $1200; Leif is second with $1100; D-Rod has $900; Shelly and Victor are tied with $700 each; Law Fairy has $500; Maximum Leader and KG have $300 each; Matt of Overtaken By Events and Trint have $200 each; Drake Steel, TBinSTL and SkippyStalin have $100 each.
The category is "Anal Bum Covers." I'll post the clue after I eat some dinner.
Okay, here's the video clue. I'm certain it's google proof!
Reminder: Just in case it wasn't clear. The time limit applies only to D-Rod. If he doesn't respond by 9:00 p.m. Pacific Time tonight, the clue is still open to anyone who wants to try.
Tuning Spork edges ahead with $1200; Leif is second with $1100; Shelly and Victor are tied with $700 each; D-Rod and Law Fairy have $500 each; Maximum Leader and KG have $300 each; Matt of Overtaken By Events and Trint have $200 each; Drake Steel, TBinSTL and SkippyStalin have $100 each.

The category is "Canadians You've Never Heard Of," for $300. Here's the clue:
The category is Ronald Reagan for $300.
The clue is:
"The only movie in which the Reagan-Davis team was featured."
See the comments to Round 8, for an update on the latest Annika's Journal Jeopardy controversies.
For round 9, the category is "Vexatious Vexillology," for $200.
Shelly is in the lead with $700; D-Rod and Leif are second with $500; Matt has $200; Drake Steel, TBinSTL and SkippyStalin have $100 each.
Note to all you lurkers out there: Everybody is eligible to try their luck at this game. Just leave your response in the comments section. And no. I don't have Lindsay Logan's phone number.
Here's the clue, which I think is pretty difficult.
Hands on your signalling devices, don't forget to phrase it right. Go!
Point totals are as follows: Shelly is in the lead with $700; D-Rod is second with $500; Matt has $200; Drake Steel, TBinSTL and SkippyStalin have $100 each.
The category is Dicks, for $500.
Shelly gets the first Daily Double of the year! In the category "Dicks."
Let's go over the Daily Double rules.
Just like last year, the rules for Daily Double are almost the same as on tv, with an important exception. In my game everybody gets to play the Daily Double.
Every response must have a wager in it. The lowest you can wager is $100 and the highest you can wager is either $500 or however much money you have earned already, whichever is higher. Or you can wager any amount in between.
One caveat. Since Shelly picked the Daily Double, his response gets priority. So if you guess before him you run the risk of tipping him off to the correct response. If Shelly either guesses wrong or does not respond by the expiration of the time limit (10:00 p.m. Pacific time on Monday) the rest of the responses will count in order of their posting.
The competition is wide open. Here are the standings. D-Rod is in the lead with $500; Matt and Shelly have $200 each; Drake Steel, TBinSTL and SkippyStalin have $100 each.
Here's the clue. Good luck.
D-Rod has named the fourth category, "Dicks." We're a little heavy on celebrity themed categories, so I'm going to make this one about "objects that sort of remind me of an erect penis."
I got time today, so let's make it another video. Here's the clue, for $200.
SkippyStalin has selected "Canadians You've Never Heard Of" for $500.
Here's our first video clue of 2006!
Update: Let's review the rules. 1. Use the signalling device. 2. A correct response is phrased in the form of a question. 3. If you get it right, you may pick the next category, but don't forget to name the dollar amount you want too.
TBinSTL chose the latest category: Anal Bum Covers. Here's how it works, I'll describe the album cover, you name the artist.
Since TBinSTL didn't indicate what dollar amount he chose, I'll make it $100. Please don't forget to name your dollar amount when you have control of the board.
Here's the clue:
The category, chosen by Matt of Overtaken By Events, is "Canadians You've Never Heard Of," for $100.
It's July, and that means it's time for the second annual annika's journal version of the popular game show, Jeopardy!
I'll be your host. As last year, I pick the answers, you guess the questions, and you must remember to use the signalling device and phrase your response in the form of a question.
I'll start it off with the first category: "American Skankwomen." Like last year, the first couple of correct responders will get to name the rest of the categories, until all the category boxes are filled. (Of course, I'll reserve the right to veto any categories i think are lame.)
So here's the first question:
Good luck!
Update: Controversy on the first question already! Drake Steel's response, which was accepted by the judges, was 54 hours. According to Wikipedia, Brittany's marriage to Jason Alexander lasted 55 hours. Just to be absolutely certain, I looked up the annulment certificate, which bears a time stamp of 12:24 p.m. on January 5, 2004. I then determined the difference between the reported time of marriage, 5:30 a.m. and the time of annulment. The result is exactly 54 hours and 54 minutes. So, therefore I would have accepted either 54 or 55 hours as a correct response. So big congratulations to Drake, who participated last year but never got on the board!
Okay, you've all seen these things, a list of questions supposedly designed to help you get to know me better. Really, this list is pretty lame. The only things you need to know about me are that I'm totally awesome, totally hot, and I can kick your ass at tennis or trivia any day of the week. Other than that, what's to know? I'm pretty boring.
I once had a 100 Things list up, but I got tired of it and I haven't yet gotten in the mood to revise it. The following thirty questions are a meme that many of the Cotillion babes are answering this week. In our collective wisdom, we have all decided that questions like "what color is your bathroom" and "what fabric detergent do you use" are burning issues that our readers' lives cannot be considered complete without knowing the answers thereto.
So without further ado:
Try your hand at Tuning Spork's version of the iPod Name That Tune meme I made up last Saturday.
His versions are here and here.
I couldn't get any of them.
Okay here's a fun idea I just came up with. I was inspired by Sheila's old "Guess the First Lines of Novels" game, which is a lot of fun to look at, even though the game is long over.
Then I thought about my Friday iPod post. How boring is it to just post the songs, hoping you'll think I'm cool and all eclectic and shit. Why not give my readers a chance to show how cool you are.
So here's the opening four lines from ten random songs off my iPod. Some of them should be easy, and some will probably be impossible. You could google the lyrics, but I don't know how you'd sleep at night if you did so. Anyways, if you do google, don't post the answer because someone else might want to guess.
There are no prizes in this game, just good karma.
Can you guess the title and the artist? Green means somebody got it. Good luck!
In other news, coming in July: the return of annika's journal Jeopardy. Bigger and badder than ever. Consider this a warm-up.
We had a fight on the promenade out in the rain
She said she loved me, but she had somewhere to go
She couldn't scream while I held her close
Who holds a gun that fires ’cost’
And people die from being cold
Or left alone because they’re old
But that blood it never burned in her veins
Now I hear she's got a house up in Fairview
And a style she's trying to maintain
I'd find a way to believe that its all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There’s a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you’ll never see the end of the road while you’re travelling with me
Strangers in many ways
We’ve got a lifetime to share
So much to say and as we go on from day to day
Let me remember things I love,
Stoppin’ at the log where catfish bite,
Walkin’ along the river road at night,
in a room full of emptiness
by a freeway i confess
i was lost in the pages
And I've looked between the lines that lie on the pages that I tread
I met the walking dude, religious, in his worn down cowboy boots
He walked liked no man on earth I swear he had no name
to shoot a sex machine drug
he got 24 hours
to shoot all paulenes between the legs
Everybody knows I'm a Republican and therefore am good friends with Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling. So with the recent unfortunate unpleasant verdicts, I thought I'd do what I could to ease the transition to their new lifestyle.
I consulted the Prison Bitch Name Generator.
Herafter Ken Lay shall be known as: "Queer Johnny," and Jeff Skilling shall be known as "Butt Blaster."
Nice monikers.
Just out of curiosity, I checked my own. It is "Ben Dover," which, coincidentally enough, is the name I used when I did that 5 year stretch for check kiting back in the '90s.
Update: A little more research on folks who are (or should be) in prison yields the following gems:
Michael Jackson = "Wannabe." As in wannabe startin' somethin?
Martha Stewart = "Backroom Baller." Sounds like an AC/DC song.
Ted Kennedy = "Fudge Packer." Thus the waistline.
Scott Peterson = "Man Hole."
O.J. Simpson = "Glory Hole."
Saddam Hussein = "Honey Hole."

i'm sorry for the delay. With the hurricane and all, i was unable to post before today.
Okay, so i'm in California. i knew that. Well the real reason is that i was in moving and had no electricity. i thought i'd be able to post via my telephone but then its battery went dead. So i was completely blog incommunicado for four days.
But i hope you'll find the long awaited Final Jeopardy round as exciting as i did. The category was "The Blogosphere," and the clue was
annika has almost all of his TV appearances on DVD, yet this blogger is not on her blogroll. Go figure.As in the TV show, we start with the player who has the lowest amount of cash. Kyle said "I got nuthin," by which i assume he means he wagered nothing too. So Kyle stays at $200.
Next is Ken, who said: "I bet my whole wad on Wil Wheaton." i'm sorry Ken, the judges cannot accept that answer. You lose your whole wad, $200.
Jasen and Skippy didn't play FJ, so i'm keeping their money.
Next is D-Rod, who responded: "Who is Victor David Hanson?" Nope. D-Rod wagered $399, so he now has $1.
Charlie had $400, but didn't submit a response, so i keep his money.
Phil had $500, and his response was "Who is Frank Sinatra?" Last i checked, Frank Sinatra was dead. Although his music lives on, i don't think Sinatra's music has a blog. Phil wagered "$0.00," so he's left with $500 and the lead.
Next is Shelly, who responded
Damn, I hate this game. I am compulsive by nature, and I have made this an addiction. I'm glad it is over an I can get back to my mundane life.Uhh, no.
OK, at first, I thought it was gonna be Hugh Hewitt for sure, but I checked and he IS on your blogroll, so that fizzled out.
Then I said (to myself) 'Myself, who has been on TV enough to have Annie have taped him, and yet not so much that her house would be running over with discs, etc.?'.
Myself replied 'The only person I can come up with is a guy who's show was canceled for some inexplicable reason (well, he seems less offensive on the radio, I guess) from Northern California named Michael Savage.'
So, trusting Myself, and having no other thoughts . . . Who is Michael Savage?
Let's see what Shelly wagered. His entire $1000. Sorry Shelly, you're down to zero.
Next is Victor, who guessed "Who is Will Wheaton?" Ding. You are correct, Victor. Spelling does not count in Final Jeopardy. Victor bet all $1100, so he now has the lead with $2200.
Dave J was next with $1400, but this was his response:
Since I'm completely stumped, I'm not betting anything: I can't even think up a good guess, though I'm sure I'll be kicking myself about how obvious it was after this is over.Dave's $1400 won't be enough to take over the lead from Victor. But good luck on the real Jeopardy, Dave.And now you've motivated me to try out again, and pester the hell out of the real show to call me back this time.
Casca started out with the second highest point total, at $1700. Ever confident, Casca responded with "Who is Hugh Hewitt?" aaaaaaa! Like Shelly said, Hugh Hewitt is indeed on my blogroll. Casca bet the whole thing, so he is now down to zero.
Finally, it's all up to Trevor, who starts out Final Jeopardy with the most points, $1900. His response was "Who is Wil Wheaton?" Nice job Trevor.
Now let's find out if Trevor wagered enough to beat Victor.
Here is Trevor's wager:
Wager: $1501which gives him $3401 and the title of annika's Jeopardy Champion! Congratulations Trevor!

[Final Jeopardy music starts now.]
It's now time for Final Jeopardy. Thanks to everyone who participated in this game, or just kept checking back over the last couple weeks. What started out as a joke, has become an excellent way for me to inflate my Sitemeter stats without a whole lot of effort or original content on my part. What blogger could ask for more?
Final Jeopardy will be open to anyone who has money in the game.
That would be:
Trevor $1900
Casca $1700
Dave J $1400
Victor $1100
Shelly $1000
Phil $500
Charlie $400
D-Rod $400
Skippy $400
Jasen $300
Ken $200
Kyle $200
Comments will be closed, and responses must be e-mailed to me with your wager. The correct response must have a wager, and be phrased in the form of a question.
There will also be a time limit, which will be long enough hopefully for everyone to see the clue. Since i know Casca and Victor are away, it wouldn't be fair to post it this weekend. So i will post it Monday morning and give everybody until Tuesday night to respond.
The Final Jeopardy category will be "The Blogosphere."
The category is "Fash-ism," for $400. It's a Daily Double!
Trevor is in the lead with $1900, Casca has $1700, Victor has $1100, Shelly has $1000, Phil has $500, Charlie, Dave J, D-Rod and Skippy have $400 each, Jasen has $300, Ken and Kyle have $200 each.
Let's go over the Daily Double rules one more time.
The rules for Daily Double are almost the same as on tv, with an important exception. In my game everybody gets to play the Daily Double.
Every response must have a wager in it. The lowest you can wager is $50 and the highest you can wager is either $500 or however much money you have earned already, whichever is higher. Or you can wager any amount in between.
One caveat. Since Dave J picked the Daily Double, his response gets priority. So if you guess before him you run the risk of tipping him off to the correct response. If Dave J either guesses wrong or does not respond by the expiration of the time limit (10:00 p.m. Pacific time on Friday) the rest of the responses will count in order of their posting.

Since i'm running out of ideas for "Fuckin' Lawyers," this time the clue will be in reverse. i'll tell you who's fucking him, you tell me the name of the lawyer.
Via Overlords.
The category is "Fuckin' Lawyers," for $500. As before, i give you the name of the lawyer, you tell me who was fucking 'em.
Casca is in the lead with $1200, Victor and Trevor have $1100 each, Phil has $500, Skippy and D-Rod have $400 each, Jasen has $300, Ken and Kyle have $200 each. Incredibly, the two Daily Doubles still haven't been found.

Victor and Trevor are tied for the lead with $1100 each, Casca has $900, Phil has $500, Skippy and D-Rod have $400 each, Jasen has $300, Ken and Kyle have $200 each. Amazingly, the two Daily Doubles still haven't been found.

The category is "Military History," for $300. It's another video clue, and i hope it's difficulty will make up for the other relatively easy clues in this category. Can i help it if you people are so smart?
Update: Now that there has been a correct response, i can show you the front of the mug. Click here.
Casca has $900 so far. Victor has $800 and Skippystalin has $400. The category is "Places That Suck," for 200.
The category is "Profanity," but it could also be called "dumb-ass actresses in dumb-ass movies." This one is for 500!
The category is "Fuckin' Lawyers," for 100. i name the lawyer, you tell me who was fucking 'em.

i got tagged on this meme by Ginger, so here goes.
[Warning: i have a very boring life.]
10 years ago: i had just graduated. It was summer and i was spending most of the time with my biker boyfriend
5 years ago: i was temping at Brobeck in San Francisco. And no, i don't remember ever having met Jennifer the Apprentice runner-up, although she worked there too. Betty and i went dancing at the same club every Saturday, where we got in free and got free drinks the whole time. Dating Colby the first time-around.
1 year ago: Just moved to Sacramento. Sleeping on a futon on the floor.
Yesterday: Took the afternoon off to visit with my friend's family in Dixon. Her mom was sick and i brought some flowers. Afterwards, watched X-Men 2 on DVD.
Today: Made coffee. Watched Forbes on tv. Plan to buy a vacuum and/or play tennis with Megan. BBQ tonight at a cute boy's house.
Tomorrow: Nada. Sleep in. Church.
5 snacks I enjoy: Doritos spicy nachos. Sun-dried tomato Wheat-Thins with lite garden veggie cream cheese. Tillamook mint chocolate chip ice cream. A haas avocado salad. Chewy granola bars.
5 bands that I know the lyrics of MOST of their songs: i can't think of five. i can sing along to almost any AC/DC or Frank Sinatra tune, though.
5 things I would do with $100,000,000: Get out of debt. Buy a sweet car, like a convertible Benz. My mom, dad and brother would get a bunch of money, and i'd donate a lot to my High School too. I'd travel to all the places i want to see, like Japan, South America and back to Europe.
5 locations I’d like to run away to: Portugal, Prague, the South Pacific, New Zealand, Amsterdam.
5 bad habits I have: The first four are the usual bad habits. i also sometimes say "what" when someone's talking, even though i heard them perfectly well. i have no idea why i do this; it's like an involuntary thing.
5 things I like doing: blogging, dancing, tennis, painting, reading.
5 things I would never wear: animal print, a headband, jewelled sandals, a tubetop (agreeing with Lorie) or Muumuu (agreeing with Ginger)
5 TV shows I like: Any sporting event, Conan O'Brien, 24, most anything on the History Channel, Cops. i used to love The Apprentice, but last season was kind of sucky.
5 movies I like: The Wizard of Oz, Arthur, It's A Wonderful Life, All About Eve, Groundhog Day
5 famous people I’d like to meet: Most of them are dead, like Abe Lincoln, FDR, Sinatra, Shakespeare, Reagan
5 biggest joys at the moment: looking forward to tonight, writing a really good motion for work, kicking back with my roomies and Bay Area friends, visiting my parents and hanging out with my bro and my L.A. friends.
5 favorite toys: Legos, Barbie, koosh ball, G.I. Joe, videogames
5 people to tag: Nobody ever does this when i tag them, so i'm going to tag no one and everyone.

Well, that was a very revealing quiz, i think.
Via Inter Alia.
Ballet shoes- beautiful, graceful, and creative,
you enjoy dancing writing and music. You are
often very poetic and sometimes dramatic. Even
if dancing isn't your thing, you are still very
creative. You keep to yourself aside from a few
close friends that you can relate to. You find
your own ways to express yourself and don't
have a need to br surrounded by tons of people.
A small group of friends is fine.

Here's a new meme, which i stumbled across at The Cheese Stands Alone.
"Copy the list from the last person in the chain, delete the names of the authors you don't have on your home library shelves and replace them with names of authors you do have. Bold the replacements."
Not sure if it's a rule, but i'm going to limit my list to fiction authors only.

Well, since i'm not dressing up, i believe i'll just have a martini.
i found this quiz at baldilocks. It's called: "20 Questions to a Better Personality." Well, i answered all twenty questions, but i don't feel any different. That's false advertising.
Here are my results; i didn't cheat; i think it's bullshit; so interpret them as you may:
Wackiness: 56/100No fuckin' shit.
Rationality: 58/100
Constructiveness: 32/100
Leadership: 44/100You are a WRDF--Wacky Rational Destructive Follower. This makes you a hacker. Your thirst for knowledge can be damaging to your possessions--you like to take things apart, even if you then forget to put them back together. You demand respect and, no matter how much you are respected, seldom feel it is adequate. You are tenacious, and will stick to a task long after weaker minds have given it up.
Socially, you are awkward, and get into arguments and make people uncomfortable. One recommends counting to ten, holding back comments unless warranted, and listening more than speaking. Still, your no-holds-barred approach to socialization can be strangely endearing, as long as you are funny and self-deprecating.
You feel misunderstood, and you probably are.
Update: This same quiz proclaims that the BigHominid is "completely unfunny." Now i know it's bullshit.
Here's a not-so-dumb-ass political quiz that i found on NakedVilliany, which was created by Tony Pierce.
1. Which political party do you typically agree with? The Republican Party.
2. Which political party do you typically vote for? The Republican Party. The only Democrat i have ever voted for in any election was Diane Feinstien.
3. List the last five presidents that you voted for? In 1996 i voted for Bob Dole in the general and Steve Forbes in the primary. In 2000 i voted for George W. Bush in the general and Alan Keyes in the primary.
4. Which party do you think is smarter about the economy? The Republican Party.
5. Which party do you think is smarter about domestic affairs? The Republican Party.
6. Do you think we should keep our troops in Iraq or pull them out? Keep them in until there is a stable, pro-U.S. democracy in place.
7. Who, or what country, do you think is most responsible for 9/11? Al Qaeda and violent Islam.
8. Do you think we will find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? No.
9. Yes or no, should the U.S. legalize marijuana? Yes.
10. Do you think the Republicans stole the last presidental election? Quite the contrary. The Republicans barely avoided an all-out attempt by the Democrats to steal the election.
11. Do you think Bill Clinton should have been impeached because of what he did with Monica Lewinski? No. He was impeached for committing purjury. i believed then, and still do, that he should have been impeached. Although i wanted him to be convicted at the time, in retrospect, it was probably for the good of the country that the Senate acquitted him.
12. Do you think Hillary Clinton would make a good president? Absolutely not.
13. Name a current Democrat who would make a great president: Joe Lieberman or Zell Miller.
14. Name a current Republican who would make a great president: Besides Bush, Dick Cheney, Rudy Giuliani.

21. What website did you see this on first? NakedVillainy.com.
Update: Re-reading this entry in January 2005, i would probably remove Zell Miller from number 13, and add Evan Bayh and Dick Gephardt.
What M*A*S*H character am i most like?
Captain Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce, according to this quiz.
Actually i never really identified with any of the characters in M*A*S*H. The only female, Hot Lips, i couldn't stand. Even during the later seasons, after Frank left and she stopped acting like she had a bug up her ass.
My favorite character was always Lt. Col. Blake. i liked his attitude towards work. "Just let Radar take care of it." He always had his priorities straight.
Got this link off of Pantherpundit.
Here's a new dumb-ass quiz, which duplicates some of the stuff you can learn off my 100 Things list, but what the hell. i got this off Glamour Girl.

12. Ever been in a car accident? i would guess about three. Nobody was injured. Two of them were solo spin-outs because i took a corner too fast in the rain.
13. Croutons or Bacon bits? You know that's a tough question. Generally it's croutons because i hate those fake radioactive looking baco-bits. But if it's real bacon, i'll go for that.
14. 2-door or 4-door car? i've had both. Two doors look sportier, but four doors are more convenient. If i had to choose, since i'm an Anglophile, i'll pick Tudor.
15. Coffee? Simple. Grande latte, non-fat. A little sugar.

24. Favorite TV Show(s)? Tales of the Gun on the History Channel. No, just kidding. i love Emeril Live, though. And The Simpsons, of course

Which Colossal Death Robot Are You?
Holy Prime Directive, you're Robocop!
Well, you're neither colossal, nor technically a robot, but your arthritic lurching and dubious morals have found their way into the hearts of futuristic rebels and children everywhere. You walk through fire, catch bullets from the air, and you never, ever smile. Combine this with an abstract, almost random concept of duty and honour, and you have a police officer one cannot fail to adore.
Thank you, Robocop.
Got this one offa Uncle Screwtape knows best.
More: This quiz is actually very thought provoking. i started wondering: what are the qualities i would look for in an ideal colossal death robot. i think they would be the following:
Yah, another quiz. Find out where you live in Politopia.
North-You are a Northerner-a free marketeer-which means that you advocate a diminished role for the government in the economic realm. You are more or less pleased with the government's role in the personal realm.i think some of the quiz questions could be phrased better, it does tend to skew towards the center. Also some important issues were not even included, i.e. gun rights, abortion.

You're Dune!
by Frank Herbert
You have control over a great wealth of resources, but no one wants to let you have them. You've decided to try to defend yourself, but it may take eons before you really get back what you feel you deserve. Meanwhile you have a cult-like following of minions waiting for your life to progress. This would all be even more exciting if you could just get the sand out of your eyes.
