Have to say styrofoam, for environmental reasons and because it clings to everything and makes that horrible finernails-on-the-chalkboard sound when it rubs against itself.<BR/>9. The Son and the Heir<BR/>10. Wuthering Heights<BR/>11. Yodeler's Medley :)<BR/>Oh, it's multiple choice. I'll take d) for 100.<BR/>12.

To be facetious. Being intentionally incorrect can be a fun lark for fanatics. And possibly to irritate Word, if you composed this there—it’s fun to force green squiggles under lines when the program thinks it’s smarter than you. (I think I may have revealed too much about ME . . .)<BR/>2. Al Gore<BR/>3. Firefly<BR/>4. Not a clue. I'll say "Joseph" since that's MY brother's middle name.<BR/>5. C) Treason<BR/>6. A nation turns its lonely eyes to you. (Whoo, whoo, whoo)<BR/>7. Velveeta? At least, that’s the only thing Velveeta was ever used for in my house growing up. Bait, actually, so technically not fish food.<BR/>8. My first reaction was Styrofoam because you're so environmentally conscious, but I think it’s a trick question. So even though PP presentations don't contribute to landfills, PP is my answer.<BR/>9. I don't know the song and I won't be cheating, so I'm guessing blindly: son and heir, because that one sounds cooler.<BR/>10. Victorian lit is my favorite. Therefore, I'm feeling rather stupid for not knowing this one. Pilgrim’s Progress pre-dates this era, or I’d say that one. Total guess here: Vanity Fair?<BR/>11. d) Blue Oyster Cult’s “Don’t Fear the Reaper”<BR/>12. Manuela Run—only because that's the one Toto song in the list that I don't recognize.<BR/>13. Whatever the answer, how cool that you were present! Wish I could look up the years they came out; it would probably help. I'm calling it Pink Floyd's The Wall.<BR/>14. THIS one I know. Several reasons, actually. My personal favorites: Circulars can prevent stitches from getting stretched out if you leave the work for a spell. You can knit projects in the round. Many circular sets have interchangeable needles, which is extremely convenient. And they're flexible so you aren't knocking a small child off the couch with a long bamboo stick.<BR/>15. c) Martha<BR/>16. Tough one—I could argue several. (Can we get a point if we get one right, or is it an all or nothing Q? :D) But I'll go with c) The Weather Channel and d) The Food Network. (I’m THIS CLOSE to saying the Turner Classic movies station, but you’re a mom of a lot of little kids—I can see you flipping on the weather station every morning to check what the school day forecast is like).<BR/>17. I have a vague memory of you liking d) Denzel, so I'm going with him.<BR/>18. Shoot—I think I can narrow this down to two, but of those, I don't know. I'll go with d) Slaughterhouse Five<BR/>19. b) Mushroom Jack Chicken Fajitas, hold the bell peppers. Sounds yummy. I may have to try it.<BR/>20. Showing my cultural illiteracy again . . . I'm not familiar enough with these to know. (I will not cheat . . . I will not cheat . . .) So I'll go with d) Sally in When Harry Met Sally. From the snippets of that one I’ve seen, Sally strikes me as delightfully quirky.<BR/><BR/>Now I'll try to be patient until we hear back about Little Perkins #8 and the quiz.Annette Lyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493583432919249814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33774292.post-79639756151444333752008-05-09T17:42:00.000-04:002008-05-09T17:42:00.000-04:001) phonetic spelling?2) C3) The Cosby show4) Alan5...1) phonetic spelling?<BR/>2) C<BR/>3) The Cosby show<BR/>4) Alan<BR/>5) c<BR/>6) Our nation turns it's lonely eyes to you.

Because everything goes when you're trying to be hip, current, and funny.<BR/><BR/>2. e) Al Gore, though I know you have a thing for Alice Waters too. And probably RFK Jr. Still, I'll go with my pal Al.<BR/><BR/>3. Oh goodness. MASH? The Twilight Zone? Mr. Rogers? <BR/><BR/>4. YOU HAVE SIX BROTHERS???? <BR/><BR/>5. a) Ender's Game. Okay, I have no idea. But everyone seems to love that one. Which probably means that you DON'T. Oh well.<BR/><BR/>6. Jumpin' Joe has left and gone astray, hey hey hey. <BR/><BR/>7. Akh! I know this one! But I can't remember. Sigh.<BR/><BR/>8. PowerPoints are awful, but styrofoam is filling our landfills AND full of harmful chemicals, so I'm pretty sure it's more hated.<BR/><BR/>9. Son and Heir<BR/><BR/>10. George Eliot's Middlemarch. Yup. I don't know much, but I know my Morrissey and my Eliot.<BR/><BR/>11. OH MY GOSH I LOVE THIS SKIT! d) "Don't Fear the Reaper"<BR/><BR/>12. b) Africa, because the harmonies are so much fun. (Okay, that's why I like it, anyway.)<BR/><BR/>13. c?<BR/><BR/>14. Because you are SUCH A NERD! HOW did we get from Morissey to knitting? <BR/><BR/>15. a? Though I would totally love it if you used Prudence as a middle name. :-D<BR/><BR/>16. Knowing you, I would guess d and e. <BR/><BR/>17. Oh, PLEASE let it be Robert Redford! How I love RR. Sigh. I think I was born a few decades too late. Sigh again.<BR/><BR/>18. I have NO idea. This is something I really SHOULD know. I'll guess d.<BR/><BR/>19. First of all, you've been going to Chili's for 20 years? That's scary, my friend.
