Baby Boomer Test

The  following was sent to me in an email.  I can't take any credit for it.  It's one of those emails that get forwarded all around the world.   We all get them.  This one was fun; kudos to the originator.  Don't you often wonder who does actually come up with this stuff?  Anyway, if you are a true baby boomer you will enjoy this.  If you are younger - you won't have a clue.  Have some fun, and don't cheat.  I scored a 19!  Woohoo!  (What am I woohooing about...that means I'm old!)

Can You Spell RIVALRY?

     My sisters and I have always been obsessed with playing board games; especially word games and trivia.  Needless to say, we are all very competitive.  In other words, we like to win.   

     Any chance we get to be together we pull out the board games.  Over the years we've had many favorites but some of the best are Scrabble, Scattergories, Balderdash, Trivial Pursuit and Boggle.  In case you missed it in the first line, we really like word games and trivia.

     Today one of my sisters (the oldest one) and my niece came out and the 3 of us played 3 new games.  The first one my niece had brought.  It was called Banana grams and by the time we finished I felt like I was going bananas.  It was so much fun!  I loved it!  It is so fast paced that one minute you think you are doing great and the next minute you are way behind...all in the blink of an eye.  We played several rounds of it and I finally managed to win one.  Cheri, being the youngest pretty much wiped up the floor with me and Jane.  It takes a quick mind and nimble fingers (being able to spell helps too).

     Next, we played two of my games; one I had played before and one I hadn't played yet.  First, we played the one I had not.  It was a trivia game called Bezzerwizzer (who comes up with these names!).  Cheri beat us at that too!  Who thinks up all these trivia questions?  And who ever heard of most of the answers?  Even though I couldn't win at that either I will have to say I like the game.  How else can you learn all these useless facts that you will never use. Do you know what a super nova is?  Great way to spend an afternoon.

    The last game we played was called Name 5.  Sounds easy enough.  Someone gives you a category and in 30 seconds you name 5 things that belong in that category.  No problem if your category is crayon colors - red, blue, yellow, green, and orange.  But what if your category is name 5 things written by Edgar Allen Poe, or,  name 5 Shakespeare plays...can you do it in 30 seconds?    

     Who can name 5 ways to say goodnight in 30 seconds?

Until next time...that's my view.
