momma likes! And again, all too true.
You scored as A classic novel. Almost everyone showers praise upon you for your depth and enduring relevance. According to your acolytes, everything you say is timeless, erudite and meaningful. Of course, none of them actually listen to you. Nobody listens to you at all, but it’s fashionable to claim you as a friend. [not actually true: Iain Dale listens to me, although he will not, apparently, give me another link. I should invoice him!] Fond of obscure words, antiquated notions and libraries, you never have a problem finding someone to hang out with. The fact that they end up using you to balance their kitchen tables is an unfortunate side effect, but you’re used to being used for others’ benefit. Oh the burden of being Great.

Well, I’m proud to be a raincoaster acolyte.
I guess.
Apparently I am a coloring book entitled “Zen and the Art of Crayon Sharpening.” :-)
But do you colour outside the lines? That says so much about you.
>,
i am the back of a froot loops box.
revelation!
You scored as A paperback romance novel.
No one’s ever accused you of being original, which is not only accurate but a complement in your mind. You’re personally invested in tradition and sentiment …
Well I tried to answer it honestly and I think thats pretty good . The relationship stuff is crap of course but thats for girls I assume . Not true of me ..
.Originality is balls . It is inadequacy of understanding hidden in obscurity . The cult or originality has been adisaster for artistic endevours of all sorts and has lead to the nadir of Damien Hurst . Shakespeare did not wish to be original , nor did jane Austen . Noone should seek this non quality for its own sake. 19th centurey ideas of the tortured artists still going strong in parochial backwaters are behind all this.
Be good , do as you are told
Yet another classic … and also borrowing this – thanks! :)

“Fashionable to claim you as a friend?”
These quiz people have clearly never met you. I find it much more useful to claim that we have a bitter and lifelong feud. It gets one free passage to so many places. Including Disney World (though Epcot Center is $10 extra–and have you seen what they charge for parking?).
For the record, I also turned out to be a colouring book. I always thought of myself as one, though a hardcover, with pages made of tarantula vellum, and connect-the-dots patterns that drive the minds of humans insane; coming with its own special box of crayons, featuring matter custard yellow, putrescent luminescence blue, and gan green.
Or something with kitties and puppies.
Possibly by Waller, Saban, or Crumb.
Oh-oh. I took it again, and now it says I’m an essay of literary criticism by Britney Spears.
Or a colouring book. Either way.
I too, am a classic novel (79%) — with college textbook (64%) and colouring book (54%) coming up 2nd & 3rd.
There really is no end to the personality quizzes, is there?
I’m poetry, though it appeared to be joint first with a college textbook.
Does that make me a college textbook on poetry…or a particularly poetic college text book on something else?
Who knows.
I certainly don’t
I’m poetry, though it …
Alistair that means you are gay . Was it a suprise ?
You know…I never realised it until now..but you must be right…I AM gay…how could I have not noticed….all those false relationships I’ve had…lies lies lies….and all it took was an online quiz and a someone who can’t even bloody read.
It says Alabaster you pillock.
Only kidding…I’m open minded but not (alas) gay. I’ve tried…but it just seems like such an effort.
And if you meant some other Alistair…sorry…I can’t see anyone here by that name…but I don’t understand why people keep on thinking that’s my name…I got called that by a guy in the pub recently…confusing in the deepest
Just realised that was a little flamy…didn’t mean it..I’m lovely really.
Flamy or queeny ?
I prefer Queen…the Flaming Lips are over-rated.
My flaming lips on the other hand….
Alright alabaster , is this where you got your highly camp name from? Its the only reference to alabaster I can think of
Yet I’ll not shed her blood;
Nor scar that whiter skin of hers than snow,
And smooth as monumental ALABASTER
Yet she must die, else she’ll betray more men.
Put out the light, and then put out the light:
If I quench thee, thou FLAMING minister,
I can again thy former light restore,
Alabaster , get her !!!(and flaming)
Get a room, you two!

Alabaster is I believe a derivation of Al the Bastard. Its a family name, Anglicised when we came over on the slave ships in the 1970’s
We always were you see.
Then I just added a murderer to the end.
And I find it hard to believe that I’m being accused of having a camp name by someone called Newmania.
It sounds like an electro cover version of a bad cold
Erm..
Yes…too late for me to make any sense.
Apologies for the promiscuity dearest Raincoaster. We won’t do it again.
“newmania” is his diagnostic name, you understand. They only call him that around the ward, actually.
Surf safe, boys.
Sorry R just mucking around
You mean you’re just a tease? Now Alabaster is going to be hurt!
Stop tempting me R ( Did you know the Crippen are the ladies auxiliary of the Crips ? They make jam and do talks on raffia work)
Of course they do. That joke’ll get you far in LA…like to the emergency room.
