Do I get a cookie? :)
Blogger screwed up again shen I tried to post the most witty comment EVAR. Damn them.
And damn you too for a quiz which I scored zilch. Nada. Rien.
This is humiliating for someone whose right arm is still sore from sticking it up first for every GD question in elementary school.
I need a drink now. But first, what was the name of Aleister Crowley's "coven"?
But The Dawn Patrol (1938) was actually a remake of The Dawn Patrol (1930). So I win.
Actually I'm just reeling from the news that there was a sitcom called "My Mother The Car" and why did we never receive this treat in the UK???
Nanuk: Golden Dawn.
Duck, S., Esq. - Wouldn't you just like to know?
Misty - Of course! Excellent answers. You are the winner. You are also the only one who answered any of the questions. Lazy bunch around here. You can have all the cookies you want, pet.
Nanuk - Apologies for Blogger's hiccough. I hate when that happens. And I'll ask the questions around here if you don't mind.
Alan - Yes, yes, but we didn't ask about remakes, now did we? Read the questions carefully, love, you'll never get into the civil service that way. (Thank God, says you!) You never got that show for the same reason we never got that show. It was DREK!!! 'ORRIBLE IT WAS! That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
