You Have Not Been Ruined by American Culture

You're nothing like the typical American. In fact, you may not be American at all. You have a broad view of the world, and you're very well informed. And while you certainly have been influenced by American culture (who hasn't?), it's not your primary influence. You take a more global philosophy with your politics, taste, and life. And you're always expanding and revising what you believe.

I used to be absolutely fascinated by this kind of thing and what it told us about the nature of human thought and prediction. And I still am. I like to look through encyclopedias or newspapers from the time just before, during, or just after something major happens, to see how it was viewed at the time, rather than through the editorial lens of history.

For example, looking up "Adolf Hitler" in a 1937 edition of an encyclopedia at the library at UCLA, and seeing what it had to say about him from an American perspective, since it was clear he was grabbing power and land in Europe and was a tyrant and open racist, but neither Britain, France, nor America was yet at war with Germany. What would they say about him? Would there be any speculation of the explosion soon to come by some particularly prescient author?

Or reading a blow-by-blow account of the 1883 eruption of Krakatau (Krakatoa) and feeling like I was there, seeing, hearing, and feeling it personally and thinking to myself "What the FUUUCK???"

So this site is like a dream come true. I could spend days on it.
Hmm, I just might do.

"Where Do They Make Balloons?"
(Flansburgh/Linnell)

Marmalade's from Scotland
Rugs from Pakistan
Mexico has jumping beans
And cars are from Japan

Clowns are from the circus
Barking comes from dogs
Eggs come from a chicken
And log cabins come from logs


But where, where do they make balloons?
But where, where do they make balloons?


New York has tall buildings
New Jersey has its malls
Pisa has a leaning tower
Will it ever fall?

The ocean has the fishes
London has a tower
In Holland they have windmills,
Lots of bikes, and pretty flowers


But where, where do they make balloons?
But where, where do they make balloons?


Spaghetti is from China
But Italians make it best
Ants can make an anthill
And monkeys make a mess

Hungary isn't hungry
And french fries aren't from France
Turkeys aren't from Turkey
They can't fly but they can dance


But where, where do they make balloons?
But where, where do they make balloons?
But where, where do they make balloons?
But where, where do they make balloons?

"Birdhouse In Your Soul"
(Flansburgh/Linnell)

I'm your only friend
I'm not your only friend
But I'm a little glowing friend
But really, I'm not actually your friend
But I am.

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you?
Make a little birdhouse in your soul.
Not to put too fine a point on it,
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet.
Make a little birdhouse in your soul.

I have a secret to tell
From my electrical well.
It's a simple message and I'm leaving out the whistles and bells.
So the room must listen to me,
Filibuster vigilantly,
"My name is blue canary, one note spelled l-i-t-e"
My story's infinite...
Like the Longines Symphonette, it doesn't rest.

There's a picture opposite me
Of my primitive ancestry
Which stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck free.
Though I respect that a lot,
I'd be fired if that were my job,
After killing Jason off and countless screaming Argonauts.
Bluebird of friendliness,
Like guardian angels it's always near.

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you?
Make a little birdhouse in your soul.
Not to put too fine a point on it,
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet.
Make a little birdhouse in your soul.

And while you're at it,
Leave the nightlight on inside the birdhouse in your soul.

Hmm.
None of the red bars are showing up in any of these quizzes even though I pasted the code in correctly. I wonder if the server moved those pictures? Or if they're generated in the html in the post itself, then something is incompatible with Blogger's subset of the html standard and is not displaying them. Oh well. They're ugly, but it's not important which traits came in 2nd, 3rd, or 4th anyway. I'll edit them out some time. Doesn't even matter which came in 1st either, except that it's just fun to take quizzes. Hopefully the links to the quizzes themselves still work. That is the main point - not to show how I did, but to let other people take them for themselves. No one says you have to post your result.
