Wizard of Oz

20. Apparently long-term memory is the last to go ...

19-20; missed " Peter Pan was played by..."

I think I know why.

#1 got me - should have remembered it - I remember when my mother thought Wonder Bread was the greatest invention in the world when it finally came to stores in our town. Now she didn't have to bake all the bread we used.

I should be ashamed. I missed one question. The Dylan one. Why be ashamed? Because in my wasted youth, I hung in Greenwich Village. Met Dylan. Met Woody Allen. Knew the guys of the Lovin' Spoonful. Played guitar on stage at the Cafe Wha with Dave Van Ronk. Even got my picture on page three of the NY Post, flippin' the bird. How I came to be a Baja nut, is not easily discerned.

With that resume I have a cast of characters you need to meet if you ever stop in San Quintin on your way down...

Well, being as how I am obviously VERY much younger than all of you, I missed them all.

Opps, my nose is growing.

It is not fair. The ego wants to do well on any test, but it means admitting I am that little old lady my grandmother was.

OK, #10 is the only one that got me and I love that movie.

Crud....I missed 3. Numbers 3, 4 & 15. My memory bank is fading.....help, Scotty, I need more lythium crystals.......ha!!

Just had John, my other half take the test. He also had trouble with #10, but he answered every other one correctly WITHOUT looking at the choices.

Guess that means he is really old.

He says it is because he is young, studied pop history and has a very good memory.

Just took the test with my 10 year old.
We both got # 10 right, but he knew where it was from, I just knew the phrase.

other than that, we got 15 right- and I have to say we did not have a TV when I was growing up. I was about 20 before I was in a house with a roomemate that had a TV.

we missed-
#1 wonderbread- never eaten the stuff in my life
#4 g'nite Chet- never seen the show
#6 skipper's little buddy??? is that Gilligan?!?
#11- I said over 40
#12- I said Joe Montana---do I get half credit for that one??

always fun to do these tests-
and by the way, I'm 44........guess that's my excuse for missing so many.

Rub it in why don't you????

Ron- Plan to be at Jardines Thursday night.

well....... it was tough to admit I missed 5 when everyone else only missed 1!

I know! I"ll make a quiz with Britney Spears quotes and iPod slogans.

Just kidding, I'd probably do worse at that quiz than I did on this quiz.

Britney WHO??? And what's an I-Pod?

On the up side, we've got at least 1 admitted young whippersnapper here we more....Uhhhh....mature folks can demand a little respect outta towards her elders! Oh wait! Maybe she was born 1-2 generations too late to have been taught to respect her elders!

I missed the first one. So does that make me old???

I only missed # 11 ' cause I couldn't remember if you were considered old after 30 or 40 when I'm well past that now. Now, I am not old only mature!!

Sorry, ....most of you are outta luck on the "elder" respect thing cuz I learned to party with friends who were 15-20 years older than me. They were friends, not "elders"....soooo......the way I look at it, ya gotta be somewhere around 70 to start to get into the "respectful elder" catagory.

Now......respect for experience...............no age limit on that!

and 'Legs.......you're DEFINITELY NOT in the "elders" bracket!

Nice try though

itsallgood...........
