Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

A lot of new cars look alike to me. But there was enough variety (eg, some SUVs) that I did well. Now, if it had been American cars from 1957 to 1975, I would have gotten fifty billion percent right....

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Zenkitty, I so very nearly got that one wrong. I kept looking at it and thinking, "I want to say Condoleeza Rice, but how the hell could a shiny glossy Secretary of State have such crappy skin and such horrible teeth? What terrible things does it say about me that I even think someone with a face like that could be Condoleeza Rice? I'm positive my hatred for the entire Administration is warping my vision of one of its prime movers and shakers, but that's going to have to be my guess if I'm being honest." I was flabbergasted that I got that one right.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Barnes and Noble wants to promote my book on a table. What does that mean?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

It's good! It means it gets put on a table with a sign! As well as on the regular shelf!

You get to make money by having your stuff on a table and you don't have to be nekkid!

What is even happening?

That it won't just be stuck in the stacks, and that it will actually sell to people who don't know you and you will earn back your advance plus.

Out of 20 target cars (ones you studied in the first part of this test), you correctly identified 20.
Out of 30 nontarget car (ones that didn't study in the first part of this test), you correctly responded that you had not seen 29 of them.

Overall, you got 98% correct
The average person with normal object recognition scores about 85% on this test. Men and women score similarly on this test. If you scored less than 70% on this test, this may indicate difficulties with visual memory or object recognition.

I did the same on the shoe test.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

DUDE. It means you are MADE OF AWESOME.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Barnes and Noble wants to promote my book on a table. What does that mean?

That the exotic, sexy, bright French/Moroccan guy isn't gay?

Or maybe what Aimee said, even though I like mine better.

eta: either way, it's a Very Good Thing.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

That's awesome, Allyson!

Go Allyson!!

Overall, you got 98% correct

Bah. I didn't get the highest score. I mean, go Topic!Cindy!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Allyson, that's fantastic!
