Answer Me These Questions Three
Answer Me These Questions Three
Er...well there aren't three questions, but there are lots of things to choose your favorite of the three from in this meme I snagged from My Favorite Llamas.
Beatles, Stones or Beach Boys? Beatles, although every spring on the first warm day, I always have an uncontrollable urge to roll down the car windows and play the Beach Boys.
Kant, Hegel, Marx? Shudder. Moving right along...
Clue, Monopoly, Scrabble? Scrabble, though I'm kind of an original Trivial Pursuit kind of girl myself.
Paul Newman, Jack Nicholson, Robert Redford? Jack Nicholson scares me. Robert Redford in Barefoot in the Park? Mmm. Just keep him young and don't ever let him talk politics.
Bach, Beethoven, Mozart? Mozart
Australia, Canada, New Zealand? Australia
Groucho, Chico, Harpo? I have very little opinion on the matter, but the most knowledge of Groucho.
Morning, afternoon, evening? Evening
Bridge, Canasta, Poker? Solitaire
Fargo, The Big Lebowski, O Brother, Where Art Thou? I've only seen one of the three, but can also say that having read about the others, I'd still like O Brother, Where Art Thou? the best even I'd seen the others. And what a great bluegrass soundtrack!
Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau? Hobbes. He's such a wonderful dog.
Cricket, football (soccer), rugby? Soccer, I suppose, although if I'd ever seen a cricket match, I think I'd like it better.
Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, Emily Bronte? Jane Austen.
Parker, Gillespie, Monk? Gillespie.
Cheers, Friends, Seinfeld? Cheers, but the correct answer is "Frazier."
Henry Fonda, Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart? Cary Grant...drool...
France, Germany, Italy? Germany. I was a German major and all that, remember?
Apple, orange, banana? Apple
Rio Bravo, El Dorado, Rio Lobo? It's a sad fact, but I can no longer recall which one(s) I've seen.
Katharine Hepburn, Meryl Streep, Ingrid Bergman? As if the three women in this category were really comparable? Hmph. The divine Kate, of course.
Chinese, Indian, Thai? The cuisine? Indian, then Chinese.
Handel, Scarlatti, Vivaldi? Handel
Oasis, Radiohead, Blur? Oasis -- as much as my very limited knowledge of the bands allows me to make a judgement.
Fawlty Towers, The Young Ones, Yes Minister? Fawlty Towers -- again, as if these were really comparable?
Chekhov, Ibsen, Shaw? Shaw
American football, baseball, basketball? Baseball
FDR, JFK, Bill Clinton? One of these guys is not like the others. One of these guys doesn't belong...FDR. Not that I really like any of the choices, but really people...
Lenin, Luxemburg, Trotsky? An even worse group of men to choose from than above...pass
Paris, Rome, New York? Rome
Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Steinbeck? Fitzgerald
Blue, green, red? Blue
Guys and Dolls, My Fair Lady, West Side Story? My Fair Lady, though I think the real answer is either The Sound of Music or Gigi.
J.S. Mill, John Rawls, Robert Nozick? J.S. Mill
Armstrong, Ellington, Goodman? Armstrong. At the story time I take the kidlets to, they always close with "What a Wonderful World" and I get sniffly every. single. time.
The Sopranos, 24, Six Feet Under? Don't have HBO, never watched any of them.
Friday, Saturday, Sunday? Saturday
Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear? Hamlet
Fried, boiled, scrambled (eggs)? Scrambled
Paths of Glory, Cross of Iron, Saving Private Ryan? Never watched any of them.
Trains, planes, automobiles Automobiles
North By Northwest, Psycho, Vertigo? North by Northwest by a lot, although Sean Connery is rather dreamy in Vertigo.
Third, Fourth, Fifth (Beethoven Piano Concerto)? Fifth
Coffee, tea, chocolate? All three. Tea first. Curse my husband for addicting me to the bean though.
Cardiff, Edinburgh, Dublin? Edinburgh
Wasn't Hobbes a tiger?

Posted by: Jordana at January 3, 2006 08:18 AMI very STRONGLY recommend you see "Paths of Glory." You'll learn in about 90 minutes why I hate the French so much.
Posted by: skinnydan at January 3, 2006 08:31 AMDan, you think I can't figure that out without watching the movie?
Posted by: Jordana at January 3, 2006 08:49 AMYou can, but it's helpful to have confirmation. I also recommend Bon Voyage if you'd like to see more French hideousness. WWII and Vichy France this time.
Posted by: skinnydan at January 4, 2006 08:23 AMI think the correct answer to one of the questions was Faulkner. I’m an Ole Miss grad and we’re required to correct these mistakes.
