Covering up appearances with comical sincerity!
It's Online Test Day at Classical Values, and it isn't a pretty picture. Life consists of unfair choices, where right choices are wrong, and wrong choices are right, where appearances are everything -- even though they're never what they seem -- and where coverups rule! (Appearances beget coverups, which beget appearances!)
Here I am, and don't I know my place!
From Ghost of a flea -- who was Dr. Strange. That's OK. I can live with being the Silver Surfer. ________________________________________________ The next test purports to tell me how straight acting I am. What a thing to test for! I scored quite well, but the problem is, I have no respect whatsoever for appearances. If I had any respect for 'em, I wouldn't be any good at 'em! (Truly, I must be psychotic, and it worries me.....)
Via Skiplog (who also offers graphic evidence that life is sometimes a classic double bind!)
FINAL EXAM: FAIL! FAIL! FAIL!
The final test for today -- "the Book Quiz" -- yielded such an embarrassing result that I decided to cheat! Yes, cheat! This is the second time I've cheated on an online test, and you'd think I'd learn. But I deserved better than what I got, and my self-esteem will not allow me to reveal my results. I decided to look over Nicholas's shoulder, and copy his. (Besides, his book was better anyway!)

I was very disappointed in my Marvel Superhero result, something called The Beast. Superheroine was some Psycho-lady, very sexy, muscular in tights. I must confess that I'm near totally unfamiliar with the universe of Marvel comics now, having been into the DC universe instead for such a long time, over a decade, Batman mostly and also Superman. I haven't been reading comic books since I moved up here to Bellevue, WA. There was a very good comic store in Fremont, CA, where I had lived.
They had another quiz on that site, "How Perverted Are You?", and I turned out to be "Sick as Shit Perverted!" ha! ha!
