Guess what's the basis for the ranking?


Unless you included only a graph and no numbers, or you were exactly in a corner or exactly in the center, which means you're joking or lying

[Sarah]

I don't want to guess.  Tell.

[dave from knoxville]

I can never resist a pretty font.

It's "With regards to this test, most like dave from knoxville."

[buffcoat]

Hey, I scored the most and I'm in last.  What is this, golf?

[nec13]

We're all winners, buffcoat.

[dave from knoxville]

Except for the ones that aren't.

When I get back home I will rank them according to who's closest to you, Buffcoat, but frankly, there aren't going to be kids for you to play with in Faschville.


Just kidding

[buffcoat]

Except for the ones that aren't.

When I get back home I will rank smoke the ganja them according to who's closest to you, Buffcoat, but frankly, there aren't going to be kids for you to play with in Faschville I love Trotsky and Che Guevara.  Down with capitalism, down with America!


Just No kidding

Fixed, hippie.

[buffcoat]

In all seriousness, it's hilarious for me to be the most right-wing person on this board.  I've never voted for a Republican in my life, and on the political boards I frequent I'm a moderate-liberal.

The FOT is a seriously left-leaning bunch economically, and there are no moral conservatives (at least among those who dared to fill in the quiz).

I guess there's something about Tom that just doesn't appeal to the Christian Right.  It's not because of the swearing or sex talk - do they just not like wit and high-toned sarcasm?

Maybe the idea of a fontasy town runs counter to literalism somehow?

[Sarah]

Buffcoat is the least like me?  And yet we jibe on so many fronts!  It just goes to show you . . . something.

[Trembling Eagle]

neat-o

[buffcoat]

We both dislike a bunch of things, we just have different opinions about what should be done about it?   

[Sarah]

I think it means curmudgeon trumps everything.

[buffcoat]

I think it means curmudgeon trumps everything.

Thank goodness for that.

These tests always force me into the left/libertarian corner.  But I'm such a traditionalist I was recently outraged when I heard that some British judges were going to stop wearing wigs.  Meanwhile, most American "conservatives" hardly seem concerned with keeping the torch of Western civilization burning bright.

You're the last of a dying breed. Bill O'Reilly would be proud.
