I did not do well today, I only knew a couple of these today.
Not to worry. In the case of my blog it really is the taking part that counts and thanks for that.
Saw McLean live, Great performance, not full of himself.
Slightly jealous here. He was almost a one hit wonder but what a great song. I had to take the youtube version out for a spin when the question came up.
Starry Starry Night, Handy Man, great songs.
Yes, fair comment.
Another good round trivia! And sure, you could call Monday ‘Quiz Day’, it would be fitting.
I scored 50% on this round, but I’ll admit I guessed on Babbo Natale (having a pretty good idea of what Natale means).
I’m gonna call you out on American Pie though – – -> http://www.snopes.com/music/artists/americanpie.asp
50% is pretty good on that lot, so very well done.
But it looks as though I’m gonna have to educate you about snopes. He and I don’t get along. Snopes is the smartass kid in the playground who told everybody about Santa Claus. He’s the one who tells you how a watch was invented and works when all you want to know is the time. He’s the guy you thought might be a good idea to invite to a party, only to find he sucked all the life out of the room shortly after entering and now you wish he’d go or just drop dead. He’s the guy who never gets the joke, who persists in analyzing the punch line, who just doesn’t get it but yet thinks he’s the only one that does. Snopes is the Puritan Scientologist Jehovah Witness Mormon of humor. The anti-fun!!! The false prophet of joy. His IP may even have lot of sixes in it, although I must admit I never checked.
Alex, I beg you, save yourself, get away from him before it’s too late 😦
Okay, now, buddy, use your words. Tell us how you REALLY feel. You shouldn’t keep your feelings bottles up like that, you’ll hurt yourself! 😉
I know, I know. And you’re right. I gotta learn to express myself more. I just find it so difficult sometimes 🙂
LOL!!! The Puritan Scientologist Jehovah Witness Mormon of humor! Really?!! That’s funny (even if it’s inaccurate)!
I’m sure it’s a contradiction on so many levels too, but I’m glad you saw the funny side of it 🙂
Oof. 50% – a solid “F”. Next time, warn a brother so he can study, okay? 😉
I reckon 50% is pretty good. Bet you didn’t get Franklin though 🙂
Nope, that one slipped past me. But I’m so glad to have found out what a group of rhinos is called – how completely appropriate! 😀
6 including a lucky guess for the left foot! No name change necessary in my opinion 🙂
Tough questions, but I hope you enjoyed having a go at them. So we’re stuck with Mondays for the next few centuries? What an opportunity missed 😦
That’s an awful lot of quiz questions to come up also!
I know, I’m actually quite relieved 🙂
