because we all need doses of absurdity

[theladyrose]

It is probably widely known that I have problems being serious for long stretches of time, and theoretically having three days of free time has made me rather silly. Compounded by watching a lot of cult 60's spy TV within those three days among pretending to be a French kindergardener and painting large pieces of cardboard, I may or may have not gone slightly insane.

So if you aren't a Prisoner addict, the following won't be in the least bit funny.

Prisoner Purity Test: You are a Number 6

Your point score was between 45% and 85%.
Your knowledge of The Prisoner is competent thought you believe that this test is rubbish anyway. There are also some other interesting characteristics about your personality that you might like to know about. A detailed breakdown is provided below.

PRISONER SAD GEEZER
PERSONALITY PROFILE.

The Prisoner is almost as good as sex.

Although you are not a Prisoner addict, you are aspiring to attain MANIC ACADEMIC PRISONER FANATIC status.

You have seen most of The Prisoner episodes but you are a little embarrassed at not having seen them from the start. You blame your mother for this oversight.

A friend you fancy came round to visit you recently. They left immediately after you played an MPEG file of THe Prisoner Opening credit sequence.

You don't have good manners but you do have great reflexes.

You believe that dancing is a perpendicular expression of a horizontal desire. You also believe that inbreeding can o­nly be prevented by banning country music.

If you could play a small part in the show it would be a bedroom scene with Sonia erm... and... No 86 / No 6 and erm... No. 48 (the Kid)

You believe that a dirty mind is a terrible thing to waste.

You are NOT as completely aware of the story as you like to think, and you regularly misinterpret the storyline. This happens subconsciously and, strangely, this contributes overall to your enjoyment of the show.

Unfortunately, because of this, you do not get o­n with other SadGeezers whom you believe are PRISONER TWERPS.

You do not like to admit this, but you will argue for hours o­n insignificant details of the shows, in some cases making it up as you go along, in the hope that you will win the argument.

You believe that sex o­n television is o­nly bad if you fall off! People like you a lot - but they wouldn't want to see you working with sub-atomic particles.

Your partner and friends are pissed off at your continual references to each episode and none of them watch the show as a result. This really upsets you - after all, how can any serious friend NOT have seen The Prisoner?

Smiling is the second best thing you do with your lips.

Sad Geezers are terrific lovers.

You are modest.

A Prisoner SadGeezer partner is not a prisoner at all, does not watch the show, is not interested in it, and even attempts to wind you up about it. Nevertheless, he/she will always be yours because you are so good in bed.

You are obviously attractive to members of the opposite sex who continually hound you with offers of friendship and love. You dismiss these because you always have a partner and because you are an all round 'good person', after all, why should you spread it around when you can lay it o­n thick?

You o­nce said "no" to drugs, but they just wouldn't listen!

You are a social animal, everyone likes you and, although you enjoy talking about The Prisoner to people who don't want to listen, this is seen as a quirky and entertaining characteristic of your personality.

For reasons that you are not quite able to fathom, children get o­n with you better than you get o­n with them.

It should be pointed out that these conclusions should o­nly be taken seriously if they are correct!

The scariest part of all of this is that quite a bit of it is fairly accurate. You can probably guess which parts if you don't have a dirty mind.

Edit: I couldn't resist taking the Hitchhiker's Purity Test, and I ended up with the following result:

Did I mention that I'm really looking forward to April 29th? I am definitely going to bring in my towel into the movie theater...

One word: AWESOME.

Laughing hysterically....

Hee, I've got to go try the Hitchhiker's one now, just for kicks :)

Ah, yes, Sadgeezer has the most unique purity tests (and results) around; I love hanging there because it has such a distinctive groupthink. Hee! It was the author of that test who convinced me to try the Prisoner again after having had a bad experience with it that turned me completely off. (I.E. Friend introduced me to the series with The Girl Who Was Death. THE GIRL WHO WAS DEATH?! What was he thinking? It's ok in context, but doesn't the show make more sense with Arrival first?)

Hee, I love your reviews/explanations of the Prisoner over there :) I must admit that TGWWD is an absolutely terrible introduction; you might appreciate it somewhat if you want to see a parody of the Avengers, but otherwise there's not too much beyond the bizarre entertainment value. I actually started viewing the series with TCOBB (I missed the very start as I only discovered the BBC America Friday Night Lineup a week after that program broadcasting began), and while I was a little puzzled at first I found it very engaging. I saw "Arrival" near last, actually, but certain bits make so much more sense to me now.

That, and there was the nighttime bit with Nadia, and I completely fell in love with the series. The point about number 6 and number 86 nearly made me fall out of my seat laughing for obvious reasons :)

This reminds me; I've got to make a number 86 icon for myself sometime soon :)
