Hey! I'm way under 40 and I got almost all of them correct, does that mean that I am old(er) at heart? [:D]




proudsub -> RE: Test for those over 40 (2/25/2005 2:53:03 PM)

Manawyddan -> RE: Test for those over 40 (3/4/2005 8:22:36 AM)

I was gonna take the test...but then I remembered I know everything.




MizSuz -> RE: Test for those over 40 (3/31/2005 5:02:34 PM)

Daaaaamn, the only one I didn't know was the Red Skelton's hobo character name. I knew ALL of the rest!

Stick a fork in me, I'm done.




proudsub -> RE: Test for those over 40 (3/31/2005 5:22:14 PM)

I knew I had seen this before but forgot it was on here a month ago (senior moment i guess) and didn't look at the date of the original post, so i took the test again and still missed the Red Skelton question. So i obviously didn't learn anything from it.[sm=lol.gif]

joecool -> RE: Test for those over 40 (4/1/2005 6:02:32 AM)

Yeah, I'm about half the age the subject line from the original post suggests, and I missed two (9 & 13).

(I love Red Skelton, and the Lone Ranger)




domtimothy46176 -> RE: Test for those over 40 (4/1/2005 4:45:08 PM)

Jeez, I missed 3, 8 and 13 and I'm 38. Does that make me 80% old? [;)]




Elizabeth04971 -> RE: Test for those over 40 (4/1/2005 8:17:54 PM)

I'm sorry. I thought it was because I am starting to forget the answers to those questions is what makes me old. Besides, If I want to relive my childhood, all I have to do is go to my friend's house and watch satellite TV. They have all the shows I saw as a kid before they were in re-runs of re-runs of re-runs.




sting516 -> RE: Test for those over 40 (4/2/2005 5:31:27 AM)

I knew the second and not the first part of the Red Skelton question, but I also thought "flags"! (Even though I knew it didn't sound right!) I guess that still makes me old. Meh.[8|]

Yep, me too. I thought it was Clem Kadiddlehopper but that was one of his other characters. Heh, like Proudsub I took the test when it was first posted and just now. I *still* missed the question. [:D]




kc692 -> RE: Test for those over 40 (4/15/2005 12:10:43 PM)

What does it mean if you get 10 right??? Am I 2/3 of the way old, and still have a little bit to go?????? Were some of you like me, and knew the answer to some, on the tip of your tongue, and just couldn't quite remember it????And when you saw it, said, shit!!!I knew that!!????




DesertRat -> RE: Test for those over 40 (4/16/2005 3:49:58 PM)

I knew 'em all. Old and proud of it.

How about this? Does anyone remember when the Walt Disney show introduced the American public to the concept of stereophonic sound?
