The ultimate Status Quo psycho test!
|
| You know all those psycho tests in the yellow press
magazines, where you can find out how clever, smart, romantic, ... you
are? Yes? Well, now here is a psycho test with which you can find out how
dedicated a Quo fan you are!
|
Situation 1:
You're on the airport, waiting in the queue
in front of the check-in terminal for your turn to do so. Suddenly you notice
that QUO are directly behind you in the queue!
How do you react?
a) I'm a well mannered fan and allow them to get into the queue in front of me,
of course!
b) I turn around and say: Girls: "Either you all give me a kiss immediately
or I announce at the top of my lungs that you are here !" Boys: "Either
you all give me an autograph immediately or I announce at the top of my lungs
that you are here !"
c) I turn round and say : "Hello!" I do not allow them to get into the
queue in front of me - I was there first, after all!
d) I delay as much as possible to be near them for a little while longer.
Situation 2:
You're waiting
at the backstage entrance for the band bus to arrive. Suddenly, a large group of
techno freaks turns up, obviously wanting to wait for the band as well, but at
the same time they're all making bad jokes about them.
a) I see my chances for an autograph being blown away. So I try to sell them the
bus of the support act as the band bus, say Quo have arrived already and claim
that I'm only waiting for my friend, one of the securities.
b) I try my best at turning them into real Quo fans.
c) I do nothing. There's a lot of them and only one of me, after all.
d) I walk to the next intersection, wait for the band bus there, force it to
stop when it arrives and warn the band about the techno fans waiting for them.
Situation 3:
You're driving through a military camp.
Apparently it's 'jogging day' since you spot quite a number of puffing soldiers
jogging along the road in front of you.
a) I 'fast forward' the Quo cassette I'm listening to to "In the Army now",
open the window, turn the volume up to the maximum and pass them, grinning.
b) I turn the volume of my cassette down and pass them, trying to be as
inconspicuous as possible.
c) I get angry with myself for not having my "Running all over the world"
tape along.
d) I greet them politely and hope they like my Status Quo bumper sticker.
Situation 4:
You're the only Quo fan in the circle of your
friends. One evening they start making jokes about the worlds only 3-Chord-band
yet again.
a) They outnumber me, so I agree meekly to what they are saying.
b) I tell them that Quo have actually written a song with five # and nine Chords,
and prove it by showing them the tabs for "Burning Bridges".
c) I laugh and tell them that actually, quite a lot of Quo songs have only 2
chords, and show them the tabs for "What you're proposing".
d) I try to convince them that 3 Chords are more than sufficient for good music,
and try to talk them into going to the next Quo gig with me.
Situation 5:
In the place where you work you're forced to
listen to a really bad radio station every day, which plays only chart music.
All of a sudden, they play "Whatever you want"
a) I forget everything, throw whatever I was working on away, stand up and start
headbanging, much to the horror of my startled colleagues.
b) I turn very, very pale and distressed and think that surely something bad
must have happened to Quo, for them to be playing one of their songs.
c) I immediately run to the radio and turn the volume up, not heeding the
protests of the others present. Once again I inform my disinterested colleagues
that this is indeed the world's best band ever.
d) I don't react at all because I don't want the others to know that I'm a fan
of Quo.
e) I start to cry because it made me remember that it's still another 8 weeks
until next gig, when I'll be seeing them again. f
) I've got a picture of Quo on my workplace, and now I fall onto my knees in
front of it, close my eyes and start to sing along softly.
Situation 6:
While you are watching TV you suddenly notice
that there's a new weekly game show around which uses "Whatever you
want" as it's title song.
a) It makes me smile.
b) I shake my head about the horrible adaption they are using. The original
version is much better, after all!
c) I immediately try to find out if Quo know about this and are being paid for
it!
Situation 7:
You've won one of the following prizes in a
music game show where you answered questions about Quo successfully. Which one
do you choose?
a) to play "Twister" with a Quo member of my choice
b) to meet Quo backstage before a gig
c) a week on Majorca for 2 people
d) to play "Uno" with Quo
e) being VIP guest of a Record Company for one day
Situation 8:
You get the chance to do a TV interview with
Quo. What do you do to make this an interview they were not, actually, prepared
for (and expecting)?
a) I test their qualities as 'dads' by giving each one a 'surprise egg' and
challenging them to correctly assemble the item included within.
b) I ask them what this "3-Chord-business" is all about.
c) I ask them the square root of 132.
d) I take along my "Trivial Pursuit" and test their general education.
Situation 9:
You get to decided in which one of the
following TV series' Quo make a guest appearance.
a) "Star Trek: The Next Generation" (as members of a command crew)
b) a "Dallas" parody. (The proposed cast roll here reads: Mr. Rossi -
"Cliff Barns"; Mr. Parfitt - "Sue Ellen"; Mr. Bown - "JR";
Mr. Edwards - "Bobby"; Mr. Rich - "Miss Elly")
c) Fawlity Towers (as themselves)
d) Emergency Room (as a team of surgeons)
e) The X-Files (as a group of aliens)
Situation 10:
You were
lucky and actually managed to get autographs when you meet Quo in the city by
chance. You look at the autographs and... :
a) I complain to them that I can't read their signatures.
b) I'm absolutely, completely overjoyed.
c) I think that I've been had and fell for look-alikes called "Flossi",
"Andu" and "^^^^^^^".
d) I offer them my own autograph in exchange.
e) I kindly ask them to give back my pen.
Situation 11:
Due to a confusion on the airport you
suddenly find yourself in possession of a bag full of Quo's worn stage outfits.
a) I take the bag home with me, get myself 5 shop-window dummies, dress them up
and decorate my place with them.
b) I wash them and keep them.
c) I wash them, iron them, and send them to Quo's management - I want to get my
own bag with all the tour merchandise I bought back, after all.
d) I sell them for a LOT of money.
e) I inform Quo that I've got them, and that I'm completely willing to give them
back to them, BUT only in person!
