(Doing The Sums 2012) Are You Joe Average?

The triplej Hottest 100 is an Australian institution. The Bawley crew don't always agree with the results but we do enjoy the ritual. Increasingly part of this ritual is the Are You Joe Average Hottest 100 quiz. (See: 2007, 2008, Hottest 100 of all time, 2009, 2010, 2011).

Here is how it works:

1. Write out a list of the songs you voted for in the triplej Hottest 100.
2. Write down the position each of these came in the triplej Hottest 100
3. If a song did not make the list put down 101.
4. Add up the scores, and divide by the number of songs you voted for.
5. Post your results as a comment to this blog entry.

How to interpret your score:

 1-13: Bargain. You like to chase savings at the local Thrift Shop.  

 14-27: So close to (Hyper)Paradise. 

 28-40: You had the Genesis of a good score  

 41-52: "Here I am stuck in the middle with you"  

 53-65: You think you have Heard it All and value Disparate Youth over Super Rich Kids  

 66-77: Kinda quirky in a cute way.  

 78-89: Kinda quirky in a "slowly back away..." way.  

 90-100: You're a f***ing freak, man  

 101: Did you vote for songs, or flavours of ice cream????

The Bawley 100 - New Years Eve 2012/2013

Before I know it, he’s got both of my hands in a vice-like grip held high above my head while pinning me to the wall. His other hand grabs my hair and yanks down, bringing my face up, and his lips are on mine. My tongue tentatively strokes his and joins his in a slow, erotic dance. The iPod in his pocket is pressing hard against my belly he whispers What was your favourite song of 2012?

Suddenly he grabs me, tipping me across his lap. With one smooth movement, he angles his body so my torso is resting on the bed beside him. He throws his right leg over both mine and plants his left forearm on the small of my back, holding me down so I cannot move … He unzips, revealing his long well manicured list Holy Cow!

My body quivers as he starts to read...
