Actually I did it all by my lonesome.

My deepest apologies for doubting you, sir. :notworthy

Failed on the Merkin questions - although I admit I should have got the Civil War right. And probably the heaviest ball by simple calculation, but I've never held any of those balls. The "standard" beer one just did not compute with me - it's so rare to get little cans of beer over here now, they're generally 440 or 500ml (a can of coke is 330ml for comparison). |

overestimated the dog toes by two. failed to resist second guessing myself about the provenance of cucumbers, which I knew and know. dangit. |
heheheheh. This I'm keeping, because taken out of contest it's completely surreal:

Tell someone you hate their new hair or tell them it's gorge? How about a good old English, "Well, it's certainly different..."? |
yeah - similarly - if I actually saw anybody drop something - including money - I'd let them know. But if I saw a £10 note on the ground and there was no immediately obvious sign of who dropped it - it's mine.
The bike question - I just know it wouldn't occur to me to lie in the moment. And the hair question - as you say, is silly - there are other options and it's contextual: friend says 'what do you think of this hairstyle?' whilst messing around with styles preparing to go out- be honest. Friend asks how hair looks as we're getting into a taxi with no options for doing anything about it anyway - white lie. |
Whilst I like being quoted, I don't like being taken out of the contest. I coulda been a contender!
|
I'm a saint. Yeah. But I didn't say I would tell my friend about the cozy date I witnessed. In those situations, what usually happens is that you tell them and somehow or another, after all the tears and drama, you end up being the bad guy. A person who'll sneak around like that is a person who will manipulate their way into being above reproach and who will find a way to make it seem like you're some big troublemaker. This has been my experience, anyway. I expect they'll get caught one way or another. Yet, even as I type this, I think of the thousands of exceptions to the rule and my little guilt gland (which is all that really keeps me honest) is secreting "BUT BUT BUT YOU NEED TO TELL YOUR FRIENDDDDDD" enzymes.
And hair schmair, I don't care. It could look like ass but I'll say something nice because the goal here is to make somebody maybe a little bit happier for a couple minutes. The rest are no-brainers. This is why I'm poor. But happy. ;) |

Probably a good job there were no questions about downloading pirated entertainment.
|
My friends loaned me some pirate DVDs that I never felt right watching. I pitched 'em. ;)
|
p.s. I've since pitched those 'friends' too. Long story. Suffice to say I'm much better off.
|
My wife's aunt's friend is really gung ho on pirating stuff. He makes these DVDs and prints fancy labels to go on them, and then gives them to us like it's the best present ever. Really random old movies that he thinks are important to watch. Sometimes they work, and sometimes not. And then he asks us about them so we have to watch them and come up with stuff to say. It's kind of annoying. Like it's homework or something to watch them.

cute. trivial but cute. I'm a "Saint" by their standards, just a regular guy by the standards of everyone else I know.

Not very accurate.
|
I got 13 not knowing nothing about dog toes.
And as for saintliness, I got that, but A lot of the answers I went for choice 3 which wasn't there. e.g. I wouldn't tell my friend, but I might confront the person I saw. OTOH I wouldn't lie if asked specifically about it |

Turn it into a 4 +3 =7 by moving the upper left match on the 9 to the top of the 1.

They seem to think I'm 55.
|
They seem to think that everybody is 55, I was 63 the first time I took the test.

Identify 50 movies from one screen shot (each:))
Attachment 60756 I've never seen, and know absolutely nothing about the movie 'Heathers'. I haven't seen several of the movies in this quiz. And I didn't use any of the hints. |
I got to number 20 before I found a movie I hadn't seen in its entirety.
|
Shit, I'm surprised I got 45 with only 3 correct guesses. One of those guesses was Heathers, thank you. :D
|
I got 50 out of 50.
I had actually seen 43 out of the 50 in their entirety. I had seen part of 5 out of the 50 by flipping around channels on TV. I had never seen any part of 2 of the 50, but absorbed enough through pop culture to be pretty familiar with one of those. And the remaining one was a guess but the image was clearly described by one of the text choices. That a lot of 80s movies I have seen. |
48/50 with one too-fast-trigger-finger mistake.
|
What kind of Dog are you? I'm a Labrador.
