  - [deleted] 1
    - ah, who cares -it's just the GGs -- nm - mud Dec 12, 10:00
- I was too, but maybe we shouldn't be. It fits a typical Golden Globe MO. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Dec 12, 09:57
I think I've seen that quiz before. I think I hated it then, and still hate it now. - ty97 Dec 12, 09:56 30
- I don't even like the first question. - b. Dec 12, 11:19
- 69. No bubble. -- nm - jnine Dec 12, 11:07

- "You got 56 points." -- nm - David Dec 12, 10:06 8
  - 34 points: A second-generation (or more) upper-middle-class person who has made a point of getting out a lot. - Marlowe Dec 12, 10:59
  - [deleted] 6
    - 41. I have trouble with questions like "did you letter in school?" No such thing in Australian schools when I was there. -- nm - Meg Dec 12, 10:24 5
      - I suppose lettering in Drama doesn't count, if they exclude debate Team and chess club? -- nm - znufrii Dec 12, 10:35 1
        
        37, fwiw -- nm - znufrii Dec 12, 10:38

  - I come from a small town. There was no "other". -- nm - Reagen Dec 12, 10:06
  - [deleted] 7

        If you did it in high school/college, I'd say no. If you do it as your career, I would think so. -- nm - ty97 Dec 12, 10:24
        
        [deleted]
  - So in a small town, it's easier to be in a bubble? Where's that quiz? - ty97 Dec 12, 10:03 3
    - "in a smaller town it's a lot less easy to wall yourself off..." is like the exact opposite of your subject line. -- nm - IrishStephen Dec 12, 10:08 1
      - But isn't the complaint that we "elitists" don't live in small towns, ergo, the small towns are walled off? -- nm - ty97 Dec 12, 10:10
    - [deleted]
- (and that's the first of MANY complaints) -- nm - ty97 Dec 12, 09:58 1
