quiz: could you be a Phil Spector Juror???

Posted on by

Phil Spector, the King of Wigstock 

This is a big step for us here at the ol’ raincoaster blog: an absolute, 100% original (well, repurposed) quiz, based on the questionnaire used to screen jurors in the selection for the famous Phil Spector murder trial. I typed it up mine own seff, and I couldn’t be prouder of my baby! If only I knew how to fit that picture of his hair in the upload box, I’d be cooking with gas!

You scored as Alternate Juror. Congratulations, you are one hardboiled sumbitch and you have what it takes to be an Alternate Juror. Hell, you’re probably already a celebrity assistant, or if not you will be soon! Wear your best cashmere to court and wait for the offers!

You scored as The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. You are The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. This is the first book C.S. Lewis wrote in the Narnia series, and the most popular. They have a movie out in theaters, though they should have started with the first book in the series, The Magician’s Nephew.

Mr Brains’s Faggot Family of Doodys

Words.

Fail.

Me.

From the BBC, for the LOVE OF THE SWEET BABY JESUS, via Reddit:

A West Midlands family is playing a central role in the quest to raise the profile of a forgotten British dish – faggots.

The Doody family from Wolverhampton has been crowned The Faggot Family in a national competition, and to kick off their reign they will launch National Faggot Week.

The family will be touring the country extolling the virtues of the dish, which is best-known for its links with the Black Country.

Oh, they just had to get racism in there too, didn’t they?

Also: bonus headline on that page:

What’s in the great British banger?

Probably Jude Law’s DNA.
