I'm hoping that I don't offend you by getting some that I SHOULD know wrong :-(
Oh, I don't think there are any of these that anyone 'should' know... and I'm certainly wouldn't be offended by a wrong answer!
but it is interesting to see who's been paying attention. ;)
Ah sweetie, I just cannot take a test right now. (See my blog.) Just know that I luvs you and I know a couple of esoteric things about you that only a bloggstalker can know. ;-)
Yay! I love quizzes. I feel I have an unfair advantage, so don't put me in the running for the prize. But DO put me in the running for a smug sense of superiority.
1. A
2. B
3. D
4. E (I can't believe it, but I don't know this one! We never encountered any bats when we lived together...)
5. I refuse to answer this question, because you've never told me what style you knit in, even though I would have listened with interest, because I find your knitting stories interesting. And then I was going to just cheat off of your knitting friends, but there's no clear consensus there. Well, okay, I'll guess A.

(true Jenn really does have an unfair advantage!!!)
Oooh, ~I~ want a smug sense of superiority too!!!
I'm not really playing for prizes, I'm playing to alienate with my complete ignorance. ;)
1. It's either New Jersey or Tennessee. I'm leaning towards Tennessee.
2. Walkies!
3.Neither, but I know you studied French.
4.Slugs. That's the one I'm most disgusted by.
5. I'm going to go English, but I am not prejudiced.
6. by machine? Isn't that why you needed a new one? I so hope it is by machine, otherwise you are the fastest hand quilter on the planet and we can expect carpal tunnel for you in the near future. ;)
7. I honestly don't know, not even a guess. Out of those four I'd pick Vincent. But that's me.
8. Indian? Again, that's me. ;)
9. Not one clue.
10. Thanksgiving
11. It's gotta be your pink stand mixer. Frauline Peggy is your new sewing machine that gets the gold stars.
12. Zuma's!!!
OK, that's all I can remember without cheating and searching your blog.
Wow - everyone's doing really well! I'm impressed. =)
