Maybe I got four, maybe I got five. I haven't gone & cheated with Mr. Google yet. I think you totally missed Gen X - we weren't alive in the 60's and the texting thing is more a Gen Y thing. Or maybe I really am living under a rock. Ewww, gross! I don't like dirt and worms and little creepy crawlies. Although, if I emerged, it would make a good Halloween costume without having to do anything.
BTW - I did not make a Halloween costume for myself or Hubby, but I did make the tutus for my girls' ballerina costumes :)
Try not to scare the kids too much this weekend!
I appreciate your take, Pollyanna. I suspect that based on your age, you got none of the early 60s sitcom answers, and based on MY age, I snagged no Gen-X questions.
See what I mean about the age bias thing? Thanks for stopping by, your site is one of my first in surfing this network, and I find it very refreshing.
I got 4 correct! Frankly, dwelling in a cave is not so bad. The heating and cooling bills are much less expensive.
Sebastian: Let me guess: you got the texting and modern speak stuff correct, right Sebastian? I think I recall on your profile you were a young-ish dude.
Of course, as an old-ish dude, my memory could be off, and I am too dang lazy to hop over to your site to check your profile again.
