Even Worse Than Passwords

I can't get anything done online.  It's not enough to have a different username and unique password for every site on the world wide web, now you have to answer a barrage of security questions to prove you're the individual signing in with your own login information.
"What is your favorite song?"
What mood was I in when I typed in those answers?  David Meece?  Roseanne Cash?  Maroon 5?  Johann Sebastian Bach?  Third Day?  Patsy Cline?  Skillet?  ZZ Top?  MercyMe?  George Strait?  Veggie Tales?  Yanni?  Cher?
"What is your favorite movie?"
My favorite movie changes every time the trailers play at the beginning of a Blu-Ray.  (Ooh, pop that disc out and put in the video they just showed the preview for!  What do you mean we don't own that movie?  Is it on Netflix?  Oh yeah, we dropped Netflix.  Do they have it on Amazon Prime?  Never mind, I can't remember the password.)
"What is your youngest child's middle name?"
I have a lot of children.  I call them all Cuddleysnuggleybuggins.  They think it's a term of endearment but it's really because I can't remember their names.
Gonna make it easy on myself and use the same answer on all my security questions whether it makes sense or not.
"What year did you graduate high school?"
"Jeremy Renner."
