pathetic

We'll not go into exactly why I was doing this, but I was listening to a drive-home radio show this afternoon. They had some kind of contest where some guy called in, Jonathan Davis was there, one of the DJ's was helping (maybe?), and one was asking questions. The category was literature. The task:
Name the Author

My quiz is infinitely more difficult than the radio quiz. (spelling and capitalization count!) Good luck.
Name the Author
Clockwork Orange
 
 
1984
 
 
Brave New World
 
 
On the Road
 
 
Slaughterhouse V

So the guy who called in got 1 correct. And they were complaining so much about how difficult the questions were and blah blah blah...
The other DJ (Jack Daniel) now had to answer the same questions to try and win. He also got one correct.
They both got the 1984 question correct...
Initially I was all proud b/c I knew them all. Now I just feel gross.

Well, thank God, I got them all right. Even though I haven't worked on the bookstore side for a year now. Good to know some things are still with me. That was 106.5 you were listening to and I had to get out of the car before they got to that part this afternoon. It is sad that they thought those were difficult questions. --Judith
