You Commie Lovers Love Me!
You really do!
Note: I generally try to not put too many of one type of post on one page or per week, such as music vids, but since the Oscars were last night this quiz needed to be posted to be semi-timely.
You Would Win Best Actor / Actress |
 You are confident and talented. When it's time for you to shine, you step up. You have a strong personality. You love attention, and you can command an audience of any size. You tend to be a bit obsessive. You're the perfect person to immerse yourself in a big role. You're both empathetic and expressive. You understand and communicate well. |
"I just want to thank the little people who have made this possible; Hugo, Mao, Che, Papa Joe, my old pal Pol Pot. Without you guys...."

I'm an "F" Word
You Are Factual |
 You are highly intelligent, especially in areas that deal with concrete knowledge and facts. You are amazingly analytical. You can make sense of chaos without involving your emotions. If anything, you tend to be overly logical. It's sometimes hard for you to come to a decision, because you're too busy weighing all the options. People turn to you in times of trouble. They know that they can trust you to give good, well thought out advice. |
Well Connected
Today's quote from the Quote of the Day feed:
We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men.
- Herman Melville
The first thing I thought of after reading that was one of the final scenes in Melville's "Moby Dick" movie version where Captain Ahab was entangled in the ropes surrounding the great white whale.
I'd say he was well-connected, wouldn't you?
A thousand fibers might very well connect us with our fellow men, but I try my best to sever *some* of those "ties that bind". I may be doomed to the fate of being lashed to the great beast, but instead of being like Ahab, with his lifeless body seeming to wave with the whale's every breech, I'm hoping rigor mortis extends my middle finger as a parting shot.

Call me Ishmael, why dontcha?

What's the Story in Balamory?
Just about my favorite program for kids.
(I don't think there's been anything since to compare to Captain Kangaroo)
I had a thing for Miss Hoolie. (although Josie Jump was pretty hot, too) Edie McCredie could drive me anywhere she wanted.
If you're not familiar with this BBC produced program, here's the Wiki entry.
