I’m a [kitchen knife](http://www.boomspeed.com/dollzheaven2/knife.html). Sweet.

I’m a sock also.

I’m gonna miss this message board. 😕

I’m thinking that the mods set this test up on purpose to catch socks. Crafty mods.

Sock.

You could tell this was designed for teenagers by the music choices.  
Your choices were rap, dance, pop, 80s rock, Christian rock, new metal, old metal, classical and jazz…and I think the last two were thrown in for the chess club members.

Since my current playlist consists of Beck, Super Furry Animals, Nina Simone, Creedence and Nick Cave I felt a little alone… not to mention old and unhip.

I’m a fork. Unique, just like 48,621 other forks in the drawer. 🙂

My best match are a knife and/or sock.

[When last we did this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=309267), I was a **drumstick**. Now, I am a **drumstick**.

Apparently, I’m also consistent.

I’m windex, apparently.

But I can’t this web page to work it’s because the guy who wrote it has left a “ZoneLabs Privacy Insertion” in the middle of his/her HTML. So it won’t work if you don’t have Zone Alarm popup blocking installed on your computer. A bit sloppy really.

Er, maybe it’s things like the above that makes me windex… 🙂

Toliet paper here. Sadly, I can say I understand how it came to that conclusion.

How hard would it really be to come up with a unique random object for every possible answer string? It seems to me a half harted attempt.

I’m too lazy to do the math, but c’mon, the thread is only on it’s first page and there’s allready a half dozen drum sticks and socks. I’m willing to put money that there was variation in their answers.

I’m also a sock. I hope this doesn’t mean I’ll be banned.

I’m a slide rule. OK, so the test said I’m Windex, but anyone who’s ever seen my desk knows that’s the furthest thing from the truth. Obviously, this error was due to a lack of appropriate slide rule responses, so I inserted a few of my own and logically extrapolated the most appropriate object to characterize such responses.

Oh, and NurseCarmen, that would mean ten billion different objects. Got some time on your hands?

Apparently I’m a guitar, but I think I’m more of a drumstick. I’m certainly not a musical genius.  
**irishgirl** , I agree about the music selections. I was forced to pick classic rock because the rest didn’t fit me at all. I’m more of a 20’s ragtime or 30’s-40’s swing kinda girl (although I do like oldies and some classic rock).

Wait… you mean there are people who DON’T alphabetize their CDs? Good lord, how can they find anything?

Bah, these same people prolly just hang stuff willy-nilly in the closet, instead of organizing by color, sleeve length, etc.

Thank goodness I’m a drumstick! I couldn’t live like a toilet paper or a fork!
