A quiz for us baby boomers

[periwinkle27]

This has been floating around for awhile, but I thought I'd post it again. Correct answers will be in my next post.

BABY BOOMER GAME

(Have a paper and pencil handy to record your answers.. Your memory isn't as sharp as it once was!)

I got them all... because, yes, I'm old and I have a trivial brain. Er... a brain where the trivial sticks? One of those. *L*

[periwinkle27]

I have a brain for trivia too, which is great as I work in Reference so I have an excuse for knowing all sorts of odd stuff.

I missed Bob Dylan, so you beat me.

Clearly, our youth was a point of cultural excess. I remembered all of them.

[periwinkle27]

I must be the only one who missed Dylan.

I don't remember the M&M one, or exactly what builds strong bodies 12 ways, though I think it's milk. Odd, considering how much milk and how many M&Ms I've had in life. The rest were easy, even the ones before my time (like Gilligan's previous life).

This was fun! Thanks!

I vaguely remember "Dobie Gillis" as it ended in 1963, but I never watched it. I just remember when "Gilligan's Island" started Mom told me who the Captain and Gilligan where. The one I knew was Jim Backus as he was the voice talent for Mr. Magoo and GE light bulbs sponsored him. (My Dad worked for GE.)

Got them all.

[periwinkle27]

Darn. Everyone but me knows Dylan!

I knew a scary number of these for someone my age, courtesy of my mom (who is the same age as St Crispins and many of the other original MFU fans). *g* I think I actually know the cultural trivia of her era better than I do mine! ;P

[periwinkle27]

That would make your Mom my age.

I'm wondering how many of these questions don't make sense in the UK. The quiz has an American slant.
