Love your weird and bitchy enemies!
Just because it's the day after Thanksgiving doesn't mean it's not still Friday -- and Friday is Online Testing Day at Classical Values so I dare not disappoint! I'll start with a test from the esteemed Test Giver, Ghost of a flea, designed to determine my "WEIRDNESS QUOTIENT."
OUTRAGEOUS! Mine was 106 -- exactly the same as the Flea. Not only is this yet another amazing, too-impossible-to-believe, coincidence, but I am a bit disappointed that neither one of us received a higher score. 106 just sounds rather square to me. Never saw the bell curve for weirdness, though.
I must take issue, though, with the notion of my marrying a king, so I took some slight liberties with the technical description above. (Via a: frustrated: artist -- and you'll have to scroll down, because the archives are not working right now.)
Well, so much for a nice introduction. The test -- What kind of Druid are you? -- left me feeling rejected and insulted!
Hey folks this is modern America! Druids and Romans ought to stick together and cut all this Romophobic crap! I mean, now that I have been called "The Enemy" what am I supposed to do in retaliation? Write a test to determine "What Kind Of A Romophobe Are You?" Where does all this divisiveness end? Even on Thanksgiving, no less, some Eurocentric turkeys tried to accuse me of not liking Kraftwerk! (I couldn't have gotten through the 70s without it.) Don't they realize we share similar classical values? posted by Eric on 11.28.03 at 09:05 AM

According to the test: My Wirdness Quotient is 117. 6% are more weird than me. 2% are just as weird as me. 91% are more normal than me. Steven Malcolm Anderson · November 28, 2003 02:12 PM On the Evil Women test, I liked all of them, but especially the seductress and the cat-woman. I never even heard of this Kraftwerk until now, but: Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Wagner -- aren't they German enough for you? Romans vs. Druids? Hmmm.... Yes, I often love to think of how captive holy Dawn is descended from Queen Boadicca, while wicked Wanda is descended from Nero or some other of the later Caesars. Complementary opposites, Yang and Yin or vice versa. However, recently, Norma persuaded Dawn to annul her bondage to Wanda and become Norma's wife and captive instead, on the grounds that it is theologically impossible for a polytheist to be married to an atheist. U.S. Supreme Court decision Norman vs. Khlausthyne, 8-1, ("At the heart of liberty is the right to define one's own concept of existence, of meaning...", Scaulya dissenting: "This will lead to anarchy!..."). Now it is the European and the African, the blue and the red.... Steven Malcolm Anderson · November 28, 2003 02:33 PM Thanks for the reassuring words, Calixto. Steven, while I don't comment often on your comments, I just wanted to thank you again, and let you know my sneaking suspicion that some of the visitors to this blog are coming here to read your comments instead of my writing. Naturally, this makes me very jealous -- and very grateful! A very happy thanksgiving weekend to you! Eric Scheie · November 28, 2003 03:00 PM Dear Eric: Thank you! Let them read my weird comments for dessert, but for the nutritious and succulent steak, fillet, escargot, and artichoke, I want everyone in the world to read and savor and digest your writings first and foremost.

Don't worry Eric, I got the same Druid score as you did.
Nah, the retaliation is to take Gaul, again! ;)
