freckledgrl 01-12-2005, 03:48 AM Holy Toledo!!!! That's exactly what I said...well, actually I said hammer red, but still. I frickin don't get this at all. In fact, I'm a bit cweeped out right now :eek:
SCM32 01-12-2005, 03:57 AM OK, I will do this one, but I will have to look it over first . I gotta figure this one out LOLOLOL :cool:
Ok I looked it over, and I didn't think red hammer. So according to the instructions, I am an unusual thinker, ROTFLMFAO :D Ok I cheated, you got any more ?
ToAsTy 01-12-2005, 04:54 AM well that one didn't read my mind, i said wrench purple.
Guess i'm just one of a kind LOL
MrsPhil 01-12-2005, 05:26 AM Red Hammer!
maidenheart 01-12-2005, 05:57 AM I thought red wrench... I am half normal??...LOL
Rusty265 01-12-2005, 06:38 AM I'm not normal. I thought blue saw.
sickofprisons 01-12-2005, 06:48 AM I thought orange hammer, but I have seen someone trying to impress people with his psychic abilities in much the same way. (The math is just to clear your mind so you really have to switch gears. ) In the demonstration I saw, you quickly had to write down a color, flower, and piece of furniture. Almost everyone had written red, rose, and chair. In another, you had to name a vegetable and then they held up the amazing picture of a carrot, proving how many were under the psychic influence!! In fact, those responses are simply the most common- kind of like "the survey says" on Family Feud. Fun but not mysterious.:)
FoundLove 01-12-2005, 06:57 AM Gee, that's scary... I really thought of a red hammer!
freckledgrl 01-13-2005, 12:21 AM But the real mystery that has me going is why? I want to know why Red Hammer is the most common. My favorite color is pink....so why didn't I say pink hammer??? That's what has me freaked (in a fun way, not a totally spooky way!) :)
SCM32 01-13-2005, 12:25 AM But the real mystery that has me going is why? I want to know why Red Hammer is the most common. My favorite color is pink....so why didn't I say pink hammer??? That's what has me freaked (in a fun way, not a totally spooky way!) :)
Strange huh ?
I wanna know if Scryer has any more of those. I cheated and looked at all of it before hand . Although my 11 year old took the test, and she said blue hammer, LMAO.
Sunnie 01-13-2005, 12:48 AM I thought red rake, but then rakes are not red, so I changed it to green ho
LOLO<LOl
JustLisa 01-13-2005, 12:58 AM I said purple hammer...
freckledgrl 01-13-2005, 01:31 AM Well, you all have just not been assimilated into the Red Hammer Society yet! Give it time and you too will see nothing but red hammers. Resistence is futile :ham:
me <--- Sci-fi geek and proud of it :D
bluemama 01-13-2005, 01:54 AM omg! toasty, i said purple drill!
LOL
mary
bluemama 01-13-2005, 01:56 AM i just thought of something so funny - where i work (at the ritz-carlton) there is this group of ladies that come in for tea once a month ...it's called the red hat society, because they all wear red hats to the tea.
LOL
i wonder if they're the "norm"? when we get old are we all going to wear funny hats? red hats? omg!
thanks for the cutesie psych test and a few minutes to laugh outside the box.
have a great night everyone!
mary
irisheyes66 01-13-2005, 02:18 AM LOL...green hammer here.
Green??? :eek:
jimbo's EX LADY 01-13-2005, 02:24 AM I am the odd ball, I thought of a green drill, I guess I am a particularily unusual thinker Hmmmm I think. I guess I don't have a mind to begin to work with....LOL.
I almost said brown hammer.
Kind of an unusual test, but fun to do anyway.
Pauline
francis 01-13-2005, 02:29 AM green, then blue hammer...
so probably green hammer was my gut reaction..but, then moved to blue..
i think hammer comes to mind because you want to hit somthing hard because it is annoying adding in your head over and over..si or no?
blondie020103 01-13-2005, 03:23 AM omg i said purple screwdriver, what do you think that means?

maryjust an aside- I don't know how to post links, but if you look up the red hat society on google it will tell you about the poem "When I am old, I shall wear purple, and a red hat that doesn't go..." There are chapters all over- my sister is the pres of hers. It IS fun for over fifties!
Nawna 01-13-2005, 08:27 AM I said hammer purple
R.T.s~angel 01-13-2005, 08:47 AM I said crescent wrench purple lol
Scryer 01-14-2005, 04:15 PM Well, you all have just not been assimilated into the Red Hammer Society yet! Give it time and you too will see nothing but red hammers. Resistence is futile :ham:
ROFLMAO!!
No, I don't have anymore like this... but this has been too funny - thanks for the comments... I love all of you!
have a great weekend!
Cheers
