SCORING GUIDE:
0-5 correct: NOOB. Hey, it\'s cool to be a noob, everyone was a noob once. Check out the Score! forum for some Breakfast CD hookups.
6-10 correct: HARDLUCK HARRY. Oh, you could\'ve done better than this, you just missed a couple of key guesses. It was just bad luck. But the more shows you go to, the luckier you get.
11-15 correct: BLUBLADANIAN. You have a solid grasp of planet Breakfast without being psychotically obsessed like those who scored higher. Balance, people, BALANCE!
16-20 correct: SHTAVENITE. Though you\'re not necessarily Italian nor insane, you fit right in in lovely East Haven, CT knowing as much about The Breakfast as you do. Screw Cleveland, put the Rock N Roll hall of fame right where it belongs, in good old Shtaven, home of the frikin BREAKFAST.
21-24 correct: SERHEAD. You go to sleep while thinking of the perfect wegwich. Other bands just don\'t sound good to you anymore. Distance is no longer a factor in deciding which shows to see. You want Tim\'s body.
25 correct: ARE YOU FUCKIN SER? You know more about the band than the band. You don\'t just go to shows...the band\'s van permanently reeks of your farts. You skipped your own prom for a Timmy Tour show. You use the word SER in everyday conversation. Congratulations, here\'s your beer, hope it\'s legal in the space city you come from.
-
<<< Looking forward to an "ARE YOU FUCKIN" SER?!!!
-
sounds kinda like a word find I made once upon a time...
-
MASSIVE BUMP[/COLOR] for the quiz being up! Be sure to post your results!
-
did very poorly on this. i have a long way to go. i\'ll be that guy tonight.."yo brah what song is this?!!! i think i\'ve heard it before!!!" ;)
-
I got 17. I think thats right about where I belong at.
-
I got an 18
-
I scored 0.
Been the story of my life.
Now, who is this band the breakfast you speak of?
-
I voted 22 but I think i really got a 16. Do the questions with multiple answers count as just one correct?
-
i would assume so.
-
14
-
I was doing really good thenI got 14-18 wrong :(
-
I got a 16...SHTAVENITE!!! ;)
-
i got an 18. got 7 of the last 10 wrong.
and klout, are you ser? they obviously still only count as one. otherwise some would score over 25.
-
18... none incorrect until #16.
-
i only got 15, but my mom says im cool.
-
got 17, some of em were real lucky guesses.
-
....a dirty dozen.
-
Got 19 right and pretty pissed it wasn\'t 20 because on number 23 I just had two of the songs reversed. (I had a, e, c, d, b as opposed to a, e, d, c, b.) So close. Well, getting 20 right would have probably made me question a few things anyhow...
-
21 correct. I got all of the questions right that I assume Wolfman didn\'t have to look up, plus a lucky guess or two. Hell, if the band working together didn\'t get all 25, what chance does a youngster have?
-
18... none incorrect until #16.
Must be something to do with not being a true SHTAVENITE - got exactly the same and it all went pear shaped for me after question 16.
-
I voted 22 but I think i really got a 16. Do the questions with multiple answers count as just one correct?
Yup, and you gotta nail it to get the point. Sorry all you kids going to cheap colleges who expect "partial credit." ;) Close only counts in horeshoes and hand grenades.
Don\'t sweat it, not even the band members could get a 25 last night. Freddie had us on the edge of our seats as he cruised through 21 straight correct answers (skipping some questions) including a couple of the doozies. However, it came apart for him at the end and I think he missed 3 of the last 4. Still a very impressive showing.
-
22! but some of them were lucky guesses.
-
well you made a hell of a quizz if even freddy got 3 wrong
-
23. I was in cruise control for almost all of the questions. I didn\'t know how many shows the band had played, but made a reasonable estimation and guessed correctly. Same for the question asking to rank the most-played venues. I ranked them by thinking about their historical occurences (I\'ve been looking at setlists and show dates for 6 years now - since Nov. \'99). Much easier to track shows than it is to track how many times Beef Barley and See the Light have been played. I guessed correctly on how many NYE shows were played, though I really had to rack my brain.
The two I got wrong were the rankings of most frequently played songs (I think I only had one song in the correct place) and the last line of Mooboo\'s. I sang it to myself a few times before selecting the wrong answer, though I thought I had that one.
Otherwise, I thought most of the questions were a sinch. I figured more of the questions would be obscure trivia (like how many hours did Ron go missing on his bike at a festival in 2002? or who was the drunk chick who showed up with Paul Ryan to FF1 that ended up dating a band member?)
-
i couldnt remember ho wmany 12/31 shows theyve played(i wonder why?)
i couldnt remember the lit question and
putting the songs in order from most played was tough as nails..
-
yea i agree on that. they are all songs that are played a lot with the exception of see the light
-
or who was the drunk chick who showed up with Paul Ryan to FF1 that ended up dating marrying a band member?)
fixed and rotfl

Oh Al, that\'s so funny that it\'s silly. :P
The followup on that story is, nikki worked with deblock, regean and myself. We all went down together. Nikki got all upset because I told her they covered the dead, and right when she was telling me this they went into scarlet. Then she decided she was going to go dance on stage with the band... during super secret song inside. I begged her to wait till the next song, but no such luck. The rest was history.

Question #23 (the songs most played question) is very, very tough. There\'s a pretty good gap from the first song to the second and from the second to the third, but from 3>4 and from 4>5 the difference is only about 10-20 plays. Ron got the first three but then flipped the last two, and when I told him he was off by 1 he made the right correction. That\'s as close as anyone in the band came. I made #19 (which song debuted first) a lot easier than it could have been. The correct answer is a solid year and a half before any of the other answers. Also, I set it up so that if you think about the discography of the 5 songs, it will lead to you to the right answer. I stayed away from really obscure events that only a couple people would have any clue about and instead focused on the songs and the shows so that everyone could have a crack at each question and so it would be more educational.
-

I figured it would be too easy of a question if it mentioned marrying (can narrow it down to two memebers that way)so I just listed dating.
Peck, did you score 24?
I\'ll bet you actually knew the song frequency question since you are the setlist analyst extraordinaire.
-

i actually haven\'t taken the full quiz yet.. though wolfman im\'ed me the song frequency question when he was making the quiz up, and answering within a minute, i almost nailed it completely, but i had 2 songs flip-flopped..
-
19. Got 19 in a row and then from 20-25...NADA! The venues and the song question I was off by one each time.
-
I got a 20. So sad. I need a life. lol
-
Someone put a 24 into the poll but nobody has claimed responsibility. I call shenanigans!
-
I remember taking a similar quiz on pbfans. I did fairly well on that one but I am wondering if my high score on this one is just because the quiz was easier or have I really absorbed that much Breakfast knowledge?
-
how come in this poll you cant see who voted for what like in the tournament of tunes?
-

that was me. I got all of them except the clink/click one.
-

I chose to make the poll anonoymous.
-
23. I too made an educated guess on total shows. I knew it wasn\'t over 1000. #21 I got wrong, had A & E switched. #23 guessed almost correctly, switching only C & B. Had to sing the closer of Mooboo\'s to myself about 8-10 times to get that one.
-
yeah that took me a while too mainly because it hurt my eyes to look at all of the possible choices... but, got it in the end....
-
11-15 correct: BLUBLADANIAN. You have a solid grasp of planet Breakfast without being psychotically obsessed like those who scored higher. Balance, people, BALANCE
I got a 15
