Is it just a quiz? No, it's a test.
Your chance to make up ground on the competition by racking up lots of points by answering questions ranging from easy to difficult and other activities to help you earn more points. So without further ado, it's test day:
1) 10 points for every person who completes and posts the results of The World's Smallest Political Quiz.
2) 5 points for every person who lists their top 3 favorite bands that have made at least one album in the last 3 years.
3) Movie quotes, name the movie (7 points each):
A)
"So, did you enjoy your first visit to the nut house?"
"Hey, hey, shh, shh, shh. Come on. Be sensitive to the fact that other people are not comfortable talking about emotional disturbances. Um, you know, I am, I'm fine with that, but... other people. Come on."
B)
"I'm the most dangerous man in this prison. You know why? 'Cause I control the underwear."
C)
"Baseball is what gets inside you. It's what lights you up, you can't deny that."
"It just got too hard."
"It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard...is what makes it great."
D)
"Shhhhhhhh! I'm trying to use the phone!"
"Did anybody tell you that this is the private club of the Satan's Helpers?"
"Nobody hipped me to that, dude."
E)
"There are two types of people in this world: Those who like Neil Diamond, and those who don't."
4) 1 point for each word that you can list using the suffix 'ship.' You may not use any of the examples given by those who commented before you.
5) This one requires the honor system: With out using Google or Internet or any other reference how many of the first 10 amendments to the constitution (A.K.A the bill of rights) can you name? Paraphrasing is fine of course. The first commenter obviously gets the first stab at it but the next person can fill in any they didn't remember or if you think they got one wrong. I'll award 10 points per correct answer. (Possible 100 points!)

1) I scored..."LIBERTARIANS support maximum liberty in both personal and economic matters. They advocate a much smaller government; one that is limited to protecting individuals from coercion and violence. Libertarians tend to embrace individual responsibility, oppose government bureaucracy and taxes, promote private charity, tolerate diverse lifestyles, support the free market, and defend civil liberties.
The RED DOT on the Chart shows where you fit on the political map." --- My rid dot leaned a little toward the right.
"Your PERSONAL issues Score is 80%.
Your ECONOMIC issues Score is 90%."

Oh, by the way, I like the (R) on your title!
*For the Record I am not using google or any other internet search AND I scrolled all the way to the end of the comments wiout looking at anyone elses answers. So these are all original:

I also want to tell everyone that little Jack, my 5 month old, was laying next to me on the couch while I was making this post. He had a light cast on him from the kitchen, casting a shadow onto the couch. He discovered his own shadow tonight and he laughed like crazy for about 10 minutes straight by himself on the couch before I figured out what he was laughing at. Then I saw him holding up his hand and watching the shadow, cracking up. He got so excited he tried to grab his feet (which he only does when he's very very excited) but is too chubby to get them, so he grabbed his knees.
Sammy's Test Scores:
1) Took the test
10 points
2) 3 bands listed.
5 points
3) A, B, C, & E are all correct.
28 points
4) 5 words.
5 points
5) Crystal already got speech, arms, and religon so I can't give you points for those. I can give you one for the first ammendment which includes the right of the people peaceably to assemble. The first ammendment affords two other rights that have yet to be mentioned so the rest of you can still get points for those. You also got search & siezure and due process which are 4 and 5. And the no quarter ammendment as well so that's four all together.

Red Lobster!
Did you tell Eric that Detholz is going to play at Shubas but sold out? Ya maybe you didn't because you wouldn't want to break his heart.
Hey does Eric still have our Netflix?
Do you think Eric likes me talking about him on your blog like he's not gonna see it. Cuz I could just ask and tell him these things myself?
Did you tell him to ask Melissa to start a blog?
Can you also tell him that I want to have that stamp party (cuz now we don't have to wait for a third surgery) but I'm waiting for Steph to let me know when she can do it because she wants to have it at her house so I need to pick a date so I can talk to Melissa and I can't until Steph tells me what day will work for her?
Maybe Steph will read this and let me know when she can let me have my party?
OK, I am sounding "flighty" and being attacked by bugs again! WHY ARE THESE BUGS IN MY HOUSE!!!!!!???
NO TALKING DURING TEST TIME!!!!!

Oh goodness, I'm all flustered now!
Crystal,cuz Mark has to tell me when we are going to Iowa then I can tell you when we can have stamp party...maybe Mark will read this and tell me when we are going to Iowa...then you can read it and tell Scott to tell Melissa through Eric when we can have the party.
Well I actually already talked to you today around 2 and we picked out the dates. Maybe you don't remember because you are crazy. I already e-mailed Melissa too and gave her the 3 dates we picked out.
Due to Blogger's incompetence Scott and Syaddie were unable to post thier tests. Both have emailed me and I will post them both in thier honor and grade them now.
1. I scored as a liberal! I was 60/20 how the heck did that happen?
2. Top 3 Favorite Bands with recent albums
(a) Beck
(b) John Mayer (Trio)
(c) Coldplay
3.
(a) Um...50 First Dates?
(b) The Shawshank Redemption? I dunno.
(c) Parenthood?
(d) PeeWee's Big Adventure!
(e) I dunno.
4. I can't answer that question because I can't see other people's
answers. Darn.
5. I learned that Rangoon is a cool name for a place. Oh, and also I
learned the symptoms of the Bubonic Plague.
I have no idea what all the amendments are and I don't want to sound
stupid for trying.
Sadie Lou Who
Libertarian. I didn't know that. Not only am I Libertarian, but smack dab in the middle of the grid.
Bands:I'm weak, I can't do it.
Movies: a) don't know, b) guessing American History X. Could be Shawshank, but I'm guesssing the former. c) Guess Bull Durham d) don't know e) I saw it but don't remember, the guy from American Pie, right?
4. I didn't look at other answers, so here goes: Lordship, township, Blankenship, Midship
5. This will be embarassing. Free speech, right of assembly, to bear arms, to refuse unreasonable search, to not have to surrender your home to military siezure (???), to not incriminate yourself. Aw shucks. I'm not even sure those are amendments.
Bonus question: I've learned nothing except what I've been told to believe by a rag of propaganda.
Crystal and Steph shouldn't be passing notes in class, btw.
Sadddie, your truancy is unacceptable. I'm tempted to take points off your test score but the judges have allowes an exemption based on your claims of "being responsible" and what not.
Sadie's Test Score:
1) Took the test.
10 points
2) What's with the Beck love with females whose names start with S?
5 points
3) You got Pee Wee right and that's it. I'll give you credit for it even though it was already figured out since I know you weren't able to see everyone else's comments.
7 points
4) You could have answered, I think you just lack the motivation. I'd like to see you really apply yourself next semester.
0 points
5) Again with the no try. Very dissapointing. Being the class clown and making poo jokes will only get you so far in life. Only so far.

Bonus Question:
I learned that Rangoon is a cool name for a place. Oh, and also I
learned the symptoms of the Bubonic Plague.
Well you learned something about geography and biology so that's not too bad.

Sadie's Grade: 52 points
Scott's Test Score:
1) Took the test.
10 points
2) No music. Hmm, what do you listen to all day when you're staring at the computer screen?
0 points
3) Got American History X right, then others wrong. See Sadie's grade as to why I'm giving redundant points for you two.
7 points
4) According to Webster's, blankenship is not a word. If you can prove it is I'll award the point and give you bonus points for Proving Webster's wrong.
3 points
5) Speech and assembly are both the first ammendment so I can only give you one for both. All the others are good. Nice job!
50 points
Bonus Question:
I've learned nothing except what I've been told to believe by a rag of propaganda.
Not bad, but it's a bit generic.

Scott's Grade: 108 points
Whew! Grading papers is hard work!
Gosh. This is the best post ever!
NO TALKING DURING TEST TIME!!!!!
I busted a vein in my head when I read that. You're a hardnose teacher, Mr. Koontz.
58? What is that? An F? I don't think I've ever got an F in my life.
I'm ashamed and slightly excited that I'm such a rebel.
Pee Wee's Big Adventure was just viewed by my movie-critic children. They loved it. They hated Big Top Pee Wee.
Thanks for such a fun post--Sincerely.
blogger is being lame by the way.
*grumpy*
Scott this post was so awesome. You are the master of awesomeness. And ya blogger stunk today!
