Tal,

I am so embarrassed by my score on this quiz that I seriously considered not telling. I was so humiliated that I went back and checked the answers again. But my score did not change. Oh well, the quiz was fun. And it was nice of you to post it for us to try. And so I guess because I took it, it would be ill-mannered of me not to tell my score.....

perfect :22yikes:

[Pturner]

I missed a few. :a040:

[bkcunningham1]

OMG, I am older than dirt. I missed one (the car).

[macro]

Guess I'm really as old as I look on my passport. Where's the assisted living village? Does this mean I have to sell and move because I'm too old for TV. I thought the questions were going to be about OLD stuff. LOL :laugh:

[JimJoe]

19 but I talked to my parents alot.
:)

[gary42651]

Oh my god, I had 18 out of 20, and I thought I was still a kid!!!

[Boomer]

Oh my goodness, after I posted in this spot, the first time, bkc gave me a heads-up that I was giving away answers.

Oh my!

And so I came back here and edited my post like suggested. Oh dear! It was a fast catch. Thanks, bkc.

[bkcunningham1]

Boomer, ummm, errr, excuse me, but, you did like I did and I had to go back and edit my post ummm, cause I put a correct answer to a question in my post without thinking...ummm know what I mean? Like telling the ending to a movie...

[Yoda]

I got 20. I am old and glad of it.

Do you know where my glasses are?

I too am perfect, perfectly old!:girlneener:

[Boomer]

Is there a place in TV where old people with mind bloat go to play trivia and to borrow each other's glasses? If there is not such a place, there should be. They could serve Harvey Wallbangers and Tequila Sunrises. I would be there -- if I could find my car keys. -- Ah yes, I remember it well.

And we could have fondue, drink Lancers or Mateuse wine, and save the bottles.
Never did do anything with all those bottles.
:icon_hungry:

Tony, we need a wino icon.

[KayakerNC]

Perfect score.
How come I remember all that stuff, but forgot what I had for breakfast?:ohdear:

[graciegirl]

I only missed the car one.

SHUT UP!:ohdear:

[uujudy]

Older than dirt. :sad:

On the other hand, please let me know when we're all getting together for trivia and fondue and Mateus! :thumbup:

Whalen,

I knew every answer on the geezer quiz, but I could not remember what those wine bottles looked like. And so I did a little research. We were certainly a sophisticated bunch. "Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey, Mateus Rose."

This thread gives me the opportunity to ask a question that has been nagging me for years. Is "old geezer" redundant?????

George, it sure is.

And now, here's a question that has been bothering me...

Can women be geezers? It does not sound right to me. Maybe we are geezerettes or geezerellas or geezettes or geezeritas. I wish I knew.

Boomer

I vote for geezeritas! Good word, Boomer!
And not to get sidetracked, but this was sooooo funny. Babygirl went to Portugal for scuba diving. When she came home she was so excited about a very nice wine they 'discovered' -- you guessed it -- Mateus! Hahahaha. She thought they discovered an obscure Portuguese wine. I almost hated to tell her that EVERYBODY my age drank Mateus in college. Hey-hey-hey....
Geezer wine.

I'm with ya on geezeritas! However, I say "old geezer" isn't redundant, because geezer can also mean eccentric.

Pass the Mateus, please.

You May Be a Grumpy Old Man, or Grumpy Old Woman if...

The last time you purchased a record, Neil Diamond was at the top of the charts.

You still own an 8-track player and cassettes (ABBA, Floyd Kramer, and Roger Whittaker feature prominently).

You have 78rpm records which you occasionally play on your massive oak hi-fi.

There’s a 1970s vintage Hammond electric organ somewhere in your house.

Most of your reading material resides in the bathroom, where you spend a goodly portion of your day.



There’s nothing you want for Christmas. When pressed you ask for a sweater. Which you then put in a drawer, never to see the light of day again.

You flip constantly between CNN (or some other news channel), TSN, and the Weather Network, but never actually watch any shows all the way through.

You frequently find yourself shouting at the television when the aforementioned programmes are on.

You read at least two newspapers a day, and can’t rest until you’ve finished them.

Whenever you go to the movies, you end up muttering (loudly), “This is a load of CRAP! That would never happen!” within 15 minutes of the film starting.

You start wearing your winter coat the instant the temperature outside hits 15C/60F, and tut at the youngsters still walking around in shorts and t-shirts.

You own a pair of comfy beige shoes or sandals. Which you wear with white tube socks.

You own an original Walkman from the 1980s and refuse to buy new music because you can’t get cassettes. So you listen to The Carpenters and your Sound of Music soundtrack, over and over.

You insist on paying for purchases with exact change.

You own a Laz-E-Boy recliner that’s seen better days.

You have animated, absorbing conversations with your friends that focus solely on digestive issues.

You have a cell phone, an answering machine, and a DVD player. But none of them are hooked up.

You firmly believe that the youth of today are significantly dumber than in your day.

You’ve never Tweeted, and never intend to. Because you’re not sure what it is.

You’re not shy about asking for Senior Discounts, even if you’re well shy of actually qualifying.

You laugh more now, than when you were young.

You’d much rather have a nice cup of tea (or coffee) and a slice of cake than a glass of wine.

When you meet someone new who’s your age, you check them out to see how badly they’re aging compared to you.

The volume level on your television makes everyone under 30 wince in pain.

You read the obituaries to see if there’s anyone you know, and read the obits of anyone who’s younger than you with keen interest.

You use email primarily to exchange politically incorrect jokes with a network of likeminded Grumpy Old Men/Women.

You have a better time when you go out now, than when you were younger, because you no longer care what anyone thinks of you.

uujudy,

You just have to send her the link to that Mateus ad. That's vintage stuff. Don't you love it when things like that happen. We are so out that we are in.

And 'Geezeritas' was the one I liked best, too. We could get a trivia team and have shirts that say Geezeritas and look like bowling shirts. We will have to think about what color the shirts will be. Maybe pink and lime green....not sure....pink with lime green lettering??? Lime green with pink lettering??? Neither of those??? Maybe a nice turquoise with lime green. It seems like those shirts have to have lime green somewhere. Oh well, we will have to think on it.

(Hey! I dvr'd Castle tonight and I was watching it just now and ran in here during the commercials to read TOTV. Uhhh....I forgot.... I can fast-forward thru those commercials.)

Hahaha! We are IN! Think about that! And we're not wearing toga dresses, either.

I did send the ad to Babygirl. She said it was awesome. hahaha. Thanks for linking it here. I'm so impressed that you can do that. Boomer, you're awesome. :clap2:

Any of those colors would be great. Bowling shirts sound good, but I'm wondering about tie-dyed? Is there such a thing as a tie-dyed bowling shirt? We could start a new fashion trend. Fashionista geezeritas r us.:laugh:

And Castle. Sigh. That's not the ending I wanted. Poor baby.

[GeorgeIII]

"Fashionista geezeritas"

[graciegirl]

And no one dare call HER a geezer. That girl is full of wit and timing, isn't she? I heard that her show had the highest ratings that SNL has had in 18 months. I usually don't watch SNL but I am proud to be a senior citizen after seeing her not only hold her own but dish it out. She wasn't afraid to tackle any kind of skit and she inserted her own lines, the show is live.

I wanna be just like her when I grow up.

Someone said, "She is the country's favorite grandma" and I say, give me a break there is nothing grandmotherly about her.

You go girl.

Geezer, you ain't.

Sorry Topicop. I hijacked another thread.

Hey! We are busy trying to gather up a trivia team here. We were planning our shirts.

And you better be careful, Mr. Tony, Mr. Admin, Sir. Our team will be so good at kicking some serious you-know-what when it comes to trivia (well...if the questions are about old stuff) and TOTV will then want to sponsor us.

Yes!

You will want to have TOTV's name somewhere on those shirts we will wear as we win every trivia game while toasting each other with Mateus.

You better be nice to the Fashionista Geezeritas' Trivia Team or we will not let TOTV pay for our shirts for the privilege of putting the TOTV logo on them. Better be nice or you will be so sad because you will just have to say that you knew us when! Hah! (And I did not hyperventilate - so there!)

Boomer, remember darkrooms? This is the way it was explained to me in the photography part of my life: Back in the days of the silver image, the newest invention was to package darkroom chemicals in boxes that would let you release the chemicals without letting the air in to oxidize them. The wine folks (many of whom spent too many hours inhaling darkroom chemicals) thought the boxes should work for wine, too. Voila! Drunken darkroom developers!

I have no idea if this is true. I do know that darkroom chemicals in a box and wine in a box happened around the same time, but which came first? :wine: Who, hic, cares? hic :wine:

I want to join the Geezeritas! In the 70's I had a bright pink bowling shirt with a very colorful parrot embroidered on it, it would be perfect for the club. I wonder if my mother can remember where she bought that shirt.;)

Sorry for the late response I'm out working in the middle of nowhere, well actually the middle of the Aleutian Islands, Cold Bay, Alaska :cold:, and I just saw this post. The phone service is OTS and the internet is very very slow.:Screen_of_Death:
