Hey, remember that quiz from last week that determined if you were a true friend of mine or not that 8% of you decided to take and then it turned out that on average none of you are true friends of mine? Well, let's give you the answers - that way, you may never truly be a true friend of mine, but at least I'll let you cheat in order for you to

well, if I had played (and I wish I had!), I wouldn't have done too terribly. Considering you made the quiz somewhat difficult. :)

There was a short article in last month's Paste about Acid Mother Temple and I thought of you!

hey, I decided "better to make it difficult and hopefully entertaining" than "easy and drab" - the quiz doesn't have final say in who really is a true friend of mine...at least, I don't think...

I'll have to search for that issue of Paste, thanks for the tip!

Ah, I forgot the obvious ones, like people on the flist! I was thinking, like the two chyx in your senior IE project. I did know A was post graduation. What about ladygzb? You guys didn't talk at all during that one year we roomed with dholliday?

As for 9, like I said, I wasn't thinking. For some reason I though if you need them to drive, you need them to read, but that's me. I shoulda realized the quarters was an S thing. But I could remember the yearbooks and the monopoly boards, but every time I tried to picture a glossy, I kept on imagining things hanging in restaurants. I remember Macho Man and Bob Barker now.

Who threw up after trivia? For some reason, I want so say E, as in short haired E from WREK. Am I right? And I'm wondering if I'd remember the Adrian Tomine thing as well if that aussie chick hadn't made a comic about it. I mean, I believe I might've been with you when you actually met with the guy, but for some reason I found the story hilarious because of the necklace comic you was wearing.

[geebs]

Oh wait, the mention of short haired E reminded me, what about WREK girls, like her, White C and her friend A? Or were all those post graduation for you?

I didn't want to count girls that I was required to talk to, like the 2 on my senior design project. We only roomed one quarter with dholliday, not one year, and it wasn't my most social dorm time since I was afraid Eugene was going to witness to me or Will Raiman was going to "HA!!!" me to death. ladygzb and I certainly acknowledged each other but I don't think we ever had an actual conversation until I was out of school.

You're right on the trivia thing, it was E. And I didn't really meet or converse with any WREK females until I was out of school.

I think I made you come to Criminal with me for that comics instore. It was the same weekend that we moved into CSN, that Friday afternoon. Hey, "That Aussie Chick" might be reading this! In which case, if you are, you'll know that geebs found it humorous that you accessorized me in your comic better than I accessorized myself in real life...

Yea, I didn't spend all that much time around you or the other guys who wern't normal-year roomies to my guy.

But I did think you were hilarious when drunk.

That particular quiz looks like a terrible idea to me (not your version specifically, the whole thing). "Look, I'm going to embarass all my friends by showing how much they don't really know me! Not only make them feel bad if they don't know the answers, but then show how ignorant they are in my post!" And then make the original poster feel sad if their friends don't "know them" by getting all the answers right. For everyone on my list who posted that meme, I didn't even go look at the questions.

[psyched_out]

I get what you're saying, but maybe I took it for granted that I thought people would know I was taking the piss over the whole thing. I really just used it as an opportunity to share a bunch of stories that people may or may not have known about me (I'd never dared admit to that "crying at WREK" story to anyone except S previously) and just used the concept of a quiz to stir it up. I also wouldn't think that not doing well on it would embarrass anyone, but again that might just be me...

I don't see why you should have played continuous albums of George Harrison's music on the night he died. I remember that on the night Bob Marley died, John Peel played one Marley track as a tribute, remarking that he usually didn't even like to do that. It's fair enough to chuck in some of his songs in recognition of the event, and to link them to other songs or performances to show his influence, but devoting the whole show to his music would have seemed creepy to me.

[psyched_out]

I guess one difference might be that a show like Peel's was one that always continued to look forward, whereas a show like the one I was hosting celebrated the past. And it was a Beatle we're talking about, so it was bound to tug at the heartstrings of the baby boomers that was the show's base, as "Stonehenge" is a show that focuses on all of those old songs that time forgot - despite being the guest-host of the show, I wasn't really representative of the listening audience, being a young guy interested in all the weird old bands that didn't get as much airplay as when the regular host was on. I also overestimated corporate radio's reaction to Harrison's death, as I later learned that stations aired little in the way of tributes. Whereas I received numerous calls from listeners who had expected a healing Friday night hearing their guy get the tribute he deserved. I guess it was the latter that got to me, especially considering I was just a guest-host - had it been my regular show, I would have felt some kind of justification for my
