Get the fuck outta here - really?

Fo realz. Only 2 of us out of about 19. I then wrote my name and date with sharpie on the back of of my application and they took a picture of me with it. Then I sat down one on one with the dude, and we did a 5 minute interview. He seemed interested in the fact that I drove here from CA and that I have traveled to 37 countries. He also liked my story about scuba-diving a 100 year old sunken ship in Bali.

Still a long shot, but pretty neat nonetheless.

It was kind of a crazy day. I got there super late and was the last person to walk through door. My adrenaline was rushing from hurrying to get there. I sat down and started the test and was just on fire. Maybe missed 3 or so.




Who was the last first lady to have a garden at the white house before Michelle Obama?

What board game offers a prize of $20,580 for the world championships?

What famous artists daughter has a jewelry line with Tiffany's?

 

[Mudcat]

That is outstanding. It sounds like you dealt with your concerns about the application/interview questions in fine style.

So what does it mean? I guess you are in the contestant pool now. Any idea how many people are in the pool and how many they use? i.e. what are your odds?

Somewhere along the line I gathered that it was a 2 year period that you are in the pool. Is that right?

 

[Blitty]

Those are some good questions. My ADD kind of kicked in when he was telling me stuff. I recall him saying that they will mail me a post card within the next 6 weeks or so, that will tell me if I did or didn't make the contestant pool.

 

[Blitty]

LOL. I just checked the board game answer and I guessed LIFE at first, and then with a minute left I went back and changed answer to Monopoly. That could have been difference maker.

 

[Mudcat]

Ah OK. Well it goes without saying but: let us know when you find out (about the contestant pool).



I don't know the answers to those three questions. My guesses:


Rosalyn Carter

Scrabble

Paloma Picasso

 

[Blitty]

Eleanor Roosevelt.

I put Eisenhower.

Will do.


I could never do Jeopardy. My brain needs the multiple choice. I give you a lot of props for that.

 

[betplom]

Bo Diddley.

 

[Blitty]

Bo Diddley.

Played the guitar.

 

[Mudcat]

Looks like my guess of Paloma Picasso was right.

Are you saying Monopoly was the correct answer to the board game question?

 

[Mudcat]

Okay, just googled it. Monopoly it is

 

[Blitty]

Looks like my guess of Paloma Picasso was right.

Are you saying Monopoly was the correct answer to the board game question?

I guessed Pollock. Looks like I missed at least two.

 

[Mudcat]

Eleanor Roosevelt.

I put Eisenhower.

So no first lady has done a white house garden between Eleanor Roosevelt and Michelle Obama?

That's a long time to go gardenless. What a bunch of lummox ho's.

 

[Acid Joe]

I was wondering what kind of obscene shit blitty ate.....

Did you tell them about the time that we went to Coney Island in the rain?
