I received this test in an email. I hope you have as much fun with it as I did.
Holy Cow!! I scored 18.
Scored a 19 - showing my age.
That's two of us
Make that three of us
4 of us oldies but goodies!
I missed Dylan - never trust anyone over 30, I put 40, so can I get another 1/2 point?
I make 5 with 19.
Dang. I am old.
Make it 5.
OMG! Either I'm just very old, or I have an excellent memory! TAADAA! 100% :-( LOL
OMG! I got all 20 right. I'm 1/2 dead.
Actually 19 because I questioned #11. It was a Jerry Rubin quote. So maybe I'm not that dead yet.
G.H, dkaz.....nononono.....you're like me.....
you're just in really good company with people with really good memories of the stories of the olden days told to them by their parents!!!!!
*Shrugs*
That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
*whistles whilst walking away, quickly*
~Sara
I think the author should give the ones who spotted the Rubin's quote [me] an extra gold star on their forehead.
Sara, HEE HEE HEE! Good one! *catching up with you so we can do a whistling duet* dkaz. you're welcome to come with, just don't get us arrested or thrown in a "HOME" LOL
I think the author should give the ones who spotted the Rubin's quote [me] an extra gold star on their forehead.
*Stamps a glittery gold star on dkaz's forehead* There you go...and gee doesn't it look nice!!! G.H, look at this....doesn't she look GLAMOROUS?!?!
Come on G.H. hurry up.....someone here'll catch us if we don't make tracks!
dkaz....let's go! Stop touching your forehead, you'll rub that star off!!
*smiles sweetly*
~Sara
Well Darn, Sara! I'm tryin', an old fogey with a cane needs a little bit of a head start! LOL
dkaz.................You look mahvelous, Dahling! :-) *Billy Crystal?*
dkaz - I think the author should give the ones who spotted the Rubin's quote [me] an extra gold star on their forehead.
One Gold Star for you knowing about Rubin...
...Two Gold Stars for me knowing it came from a Berkley Professor in the early 60's
; )
( at roughly the same time Timothy Leary was fired from Harvard )
Oh... and by the way, that is an actual 100% for me, not because it was a great feat, but because of the way my mind is weird...
...ummm... wired
Decided to look this up...
Jack Weinberg - We have a saying in the movement that we don’t trust anybody over 30.
Jack Weinberg - We have a saying in the movement that we don’t trust anybody over 30
I saw that. But I also saw the word..."we". At first I thought it was Abbie Hoffman because I remember the quote being said and it was from one of the Chicago 7.
But if you HAVE to have 2 stars...by all means...take mine. Sara rubbed so much of the glitter in my eyes because of another article, I can't see it to enjoy it anyways.
Thanks for jumping in and stomping all over that nasty mean typo...
...please apply for a Gold Star at the nearest Government Office of Minutiae
; )
I'm sorry alan, its nothing against you at all, but it's..it's like the third time I have seen it this week on NV in different articles...
and I just couldn't take it anymore....aaaahhh!!!
:)
Understood...
Reminds me of a time a few years ago when there was a comment about my not using periods at the ends of sentences that conclude a paragraph online
So I posted a reply with dozens of periods, commas, exclamation points and other punctuation with instructions to insert it where he felt most appropriate
; )
alan
I hope that spot was a place the sun does not shine

Sara..........Comment #3.8.
G.H, dkaz.....nononono.....you're like me.....
you're just in really good company with people with really good memories of the stories of the olden days told to them by their parents!!!!!
Ummm....Sorry to say....but I am one of those parents who told the stories.
18, and not over 25 yet.
I'm the dummy of the bunch, I scored 14.
Hey, we`re no dummies, lol! I scored 14 too:) I think that`s pretty decent I must say.
Hey, you did it so that's great!!!
Don't feel bad. I only scored a 13. (Although I'm also only 17, so I didn't get to live through this stuff.)
We just have less selective memories. :D
I scored a 17, but I remember my dad telling me these things....LOL (well thats my story anyway)
I got them all right, 20.
I was a TV addict as a kid:( long ,long ago.:)
18...and some of this was well before my time.
I got 14 of the questions correct(I missed numbers 4, 5, 6, 13, 15, 19).
18 out of 20 and the '70's were pretty good to me....
Considering everything that was going on in those heady times, it is not only remarkable that such mundane trivia can be accurately recalled, but that the mechanism for collating and assessing the myriad possible answers still performs in such a colorful, harmonic, groovy and far out way...
; )
( heavy... man )
LOL @ alanwillingham!
This was a cakewalk! Perfect score!
:)
19...All that proves is that I am old as dirt......and adrift in popular culture....
This was fun, only missed one!
17, I think I am slipping =( .
Got 'em all :) I guess I should be afraid, very afraid :)
Show off =) !
Actually it was easy to get all 20. If you're my age (will be 59 in one week) there is no reason to miss any.
smurph222 - ...there is no reason to miss any.
Ummm.... fried brain cells?
You didn't go to San Francisco and put a flower in your hair, did you?
ok....I'm happy, proud, and embarrassed to admit that I'm 20 for 20....
Now, I haven't read anyone else's posts yet, I didn't want to be too embarrassed to admit that I knew all the answers....(course my kids would tell you that I'm a know it all, LOL)...
Now I'll look back at the posts and see exactly how old I am compared to everyone else here, LOL!
Thanks for the fun, memories like these really are priceless...!
*Smiles*
~Sara
Hey Sara.......................I got em all too! Do you remember the dinosaur rides? LOL One of my sons asked me once if we had cars when I was little. I told him "Yes, but they were the ones you cranked!" Oh well, He believed me! >:-}~
Hey G!!
dinosaurs...umm....like with Fred Flintstone cars and stuff....?
Nahhh.....not me...lol....course my kids did ask me once what it was like before electricity...
*sighs*
I removed all the lightbulbs from their bedroom lights to show them....man they hated going to bed when it got dark out!!! LOL!
I dont think they ever asked me an "age related" question again!!!
*Winks*
~Sara
14, there are some things i would love to forget, but this is just nuts !
YAY! I'm in good company!!!!
How about ....in the above...Larry Hagman is the son of which "star?"
and,...who did Farrah Fawcett do a shaving cream tv ad with?
Just for fun....I'm guessing these will be really easy for everyone...but they came to mind, so I had to ask!
*smiles*
~Sara
Maybe I can redeem myself here, at least with one. Wasn't it Joe Namath? As far as Hagman, for some reason, Mary Martin comes to mind. Then again, she may be his age, since he is pretty old himself.

Redemption is yours, Isabella!!! *Grins*
Absolutely correct, YAY for you!! and YAY for me for not being the only one that knew this stuff!!!
My husband calls some of my recollections .......RUBI's....
"really useless bits of information"....
He's just jealous cuz he doesn't know what I know....
*grins*
~Sara
Woo!! Gotta love the show E Hollywood True Story and the Biography channel.
"He's just jealous cuz he doesn't know what I know"
Men never do Sara, we just let them think they do sometimes lol. I used to "let" my deceased husband win Jeopardy now and then.
*laughs* Way to go Isabella..some men just NEED to feel superior...isn't it nice that we let that happen, every once in awhile?
*smiles*
~Sara
20 of 20 - I must be an old fogey!
Not old just knowledgeable =) !
Hey! C'mon, with age comes one of three things............Wisdom, Dementia, or Old-timer's Disease. We got the wisdom thing goin' on..........SO FAR! LOL
Got all 20, but I figured I would - I received this 5 or 6 years ago and remembered it.
Cheater! :-)
Considering I'm in my mid 30s, 18 out of 20 isn't bad :) Only missed 1 and 4.
13. Brylcream.
.... (the answer)
Use more, only if you dare
Watch out, the girls will love to "sue"? ya (that word doesn't make sense to me)
They'll love to run their fingers through your hair.
(I left the US for good in 1962). I remember Alka Selzer from before plop-plop-fiz.
Erik the Read - Brylcream - Use more, only if you dare... Watch out, the girls will love to "sue"? ya
Its "Brylcreem".... and its " Brylcreem, you'll look so debonair , the gals'll all pursue ya' "
Got 'em all, but it would have been more fun without multiple choice...
20/20 but then again I'm a wealth of useless knowledge, which is probably why no one would ever play Trivial Pursuit with me, a second time.
You too? People HATE to play that game with me! LOL Scrabble too.
