65%.
Some of the questions were almost designed for me, e.g. the Gimlet one.
That's what I convinced guests to get when I was working as a bartender
since they're so easy to make: with ice cubes in a whiskey tumbler for
the guys, in an "Alsace" wine glass and crushed ice, a slice of lime and
a pair of short green straws for the dolls.
Oh, and while I'm blabbering away: Not without some remorse and moist
eyes, I just decided to retire my old b/w G3 (eventually upgraded to G4)
that's been servicing me for the past six years and got myself a G5 and
Panther. I finally left the 20th century....

Did you do better on it, then?

What a come down. 35%.
What the heck do I know about Rochester?

Neener, neener...60% :-)
|
| Murray *TMM* replied to Steve Fleischer on 20 Jul 2004 |
Yeah - but if I look at your score with the digits reversed, it's only 06%.
So there.

Q18: Leg-O should be "Lego"
|
| James Shook replied to Mick White on 20 Jul 2004 |
70%.
Question 15: I think the quotation goes more like "I used to be pure as
the driven snow, but then I drifted."
|
| James Shook replied to James Shook on 20 Jul 2004 |
Or "I used to be Snow White — but I drifted."
Or "I was pure as the wind-driven snow - until I drifted."
Or "I was pure as the driven snow until I drifted."
Can't find what seems to be a definitive source.

| Murray *TMM* replied to James Shook on 20 Jul 2004 |
Ask her. Or channel her.
|
| James Shook replied to Murray *TMM* on 20 Jul 2004 |
OK. Tuning in.....
She says it was "I used to be a glacier, but then I calved."
No, wait.... "I used to use Ivory Snow, but then I switched to Tide."
Hold on... "I used to shovel snow, but then I got a snow blower."
Now I'm getting "I used to be pure as the driven snow, but then carbon
emissions triggered global warming, and I slowly melted due to the
greenhouse effect."
That can't be right.
She's fading. One last try: "I used to cure polio, but then... Jonas
Salk...."
That's all I could make out. I'll have to try later wearing a blond wig
and lots of padding.

You took last week's quiz - due to the incompetence of the staff here at
mickweb,
http://mickweb.com/quiz/
I really have to put my foot down, no room for slackers at mickweb.

Q5. Should the answer be Timmy Mallet???
PP
|
| Mick White replied to Percival Prim on 21 Jul 2004 |
You're right, PP, Q5 should read, "Who first sang the song ...?"
BH sang it back in the 50's, I believe.
Well done and thanks.
