Quote from: "Gazoo"
There was one question about a dance among (French?) royalty, six letters, began with "M."  I had no idea so I said "Macarena" with a smiley emoticon.  I hoped my sense of humor would compensate for my sense of history.

You had different questions, I think.

Minnie's boyfriend wanted to know if she'd had dinner already...

"Hey Min -- you et?"

Which reminds me of my favorite Kingston Trio tune:

THE MERRY MINUET
(Sheldon Harnick)

The Kingston Trio


They're rioting in Africa.   (whistling)
They're starving in Spain.  (whistling)
There's hurricanes in Florida and Texas needs rain.

The whole world is festering with unhappy souls.
The French hate the Germans.
The Germans hate the Poles.
Italians hate Yugoslavs.
South Africans hate the Dutch ...
    and I don't like anybody very much!

But we can be tranquil and thankful and proud
for man's been endowed with a mushroom shaped cloud.
And we know for certain that some lovely day
someone will set the spark off ...
   and we will all be blown away.

They're rioting in Africa.
There's strife in Iran.
What nature doesn't do to us ...
   will be done by our fellow man.

See, Cathy was the one who adored those things.  I love to rock and roll.  And I think I'm gonna go have a hot dog.

You scored 8 out of a possible 10
Number one Shine on, you crazy diamond.


I missed the Ramones and Julien Temple Q's.

I got 9 of 10--missed the Ramones question as well (I had not even heard of the film in question), and just guessed on the Julien Temple one, so I guess really we tied.
