Discussion Groups / English Usage / January 2004The First Annual AUE Celebrity Superlative Quiz:
Since we've just begun a new calendar year, I thought it would be fun to make a quiz for the AUE to see how much I've taught you all during the past year. I am calling my quiz the "AUE Celebrity Superlative Quiz" because I will ask everyone to take this quiz and, for each question, order the celebs listed from "most" of the superlative to "least". This will test your understanding of the usage of the superlative and see how much celeb knowledge you've taken from interraction with me during the past year. It will also provide the newcomers a fun experience with English and will encourage people to realize that this is a *fun* place, and learning is fun and worthwhile, rather than allow newbies to view this as hostile, unfriendly terroritory. So, please, everybody, complete the following quiz to the best of your ability: 1.

From a May 2002 column by Hal Block (in the Cincinnati Enquirer): When Casey Stengel gave lectures on baseball history, much of which he witnessed firsthand, he was fond of closing his speech by saying, “You could look it up.” And you could. =================== With the resources we have today, you should have no trouble finding the answer to your question.[1] You could probably even find the source of the "still dead" statement. It's tempting to think you have no real interest in learning. I hope that is not the case. [1] However, I am a bit surprised you do not know it already. No World History in high school?

Michael Jackson ceased to be noticeably "black" around 1987, certainly by 1991, as you can see in the "Photographic History of Michael Jackson's Face" at http://anomalies-unlimited.com/Jackson.html Indeed, while I don't remember the context, I recall a Hum Sex[1] lecture in which the prof showed a then-recent picture of Jackson next to a picture of him from the late '70s or early '80s, with the comment that the "before" picture was that of a "perfectly normal looking, attractive, young black man". Checking the Usenet archives, there's a post from 1994 that says (Did someone say "1983!"? I thought so. The last time the Islanders won the cup, Reagan was president and Michael Jackson was black.) http://tinyurl.com/2m9xn That seems to be about when the jokes started, but they mostly carried the implication that "back when he was black" was already a long time ago.

I can't believe you posted that here! That has just made my weekend!! In 1987, he was going for the Sigourney Weaver look and by 1991, he was "LaToilet"! But, anyway, my joke about MJ was sampled from a hilarious ghetto black woman who was on Star Search last year. of course, she used "80's" in all of the places above where I used "90's". I guess MJ *was* white during the early and mid-90's, before becoming Asian during the late 90's.

If you look at the 1987 picture at http://anomalies-unlimited.com/Jackson.html he doesn't yet look bizarre, he just doesn't look black. He's changed his nose and his cheeks and lightened his skin, but if you didn't know where he started out, you'd probably see him as a relatively attractive young white or mixed-race guy. It was with the next changes that things started getting weird. (And I'm not sure if it would have been the 1987 or the 1985 picture that would have been the face shown in class.)

IMDB says it's a different one, but it's his only credit, as is the case for most of the child cast with the exception of Scott Baio and Jodie Foster. (It was Baio's first credit.) The singer Michael Jackson would have been 17 when the film was made, which would have made him a bit older than the rest of the cast, I believe.

I wasn't sure of the real MJ's age. The one in the film plays the saloon's sweeper-up, and looks about 8 or 9. Foster was a very cool 14, with that look already in her eye!

What's the modern sense of "laying slabs" Joey will know, I'm sure, but he's busy perusing Rey's oeuvre at the moment. In the meantime there's Urbandictionary.com, which gives the following yoof definitions of 'slab': 1 (adj.,adv.,v.) generally refers to the overt appeal or lasting appreciative mentioning of an object, vehicle, or action [?] (adj./adv.) "You seen that Escalade EXT with 23s, playa?" "Fa shizzle, that bitch was SLABBED out" (v.) "I think I'll SLAB my ride, when my mom pays the insurance." 2 A slab is a f.cking HUGE American car from the late '60s-late '80s like a 66 Impala, 70 Cutlass, 77 Eldo, 82 Fleetwood, 88 Grand Marquis etc. Just a giant "slab" of metal on which you can floss your Vogues or Triple Gold Daytons. Probably the finest examples are late '70s Lacs. 3 an amount of cocaine. aye folk i need a twenty slab so i can set up shop. Plus the all-too-familiar 24 cans of beer. So 'laying slabs' might mean all sorts of non-gay things, gay or otherwise, to da yoot. > and why was he reluctant?
