MoD showed me this link. She says fuzzy put it in her journal.

http://www.yetanotherdot.com/asp/80s.html

80's lyrics quiz.
Not the best done, however. He has a couple lyrics wrong. You are punished mercilessly for typos (is it a spelling quiz or a lyric quiz?). Also, he has a blind refusal to accept that Michael Hutchins sings the same line in a particular song TWICE with one word different each time (yes, the word you're asked to fill in). Also: you get a better score if you pretend to be younger than you are, and get points for telling him where you found the link. A final complaint: you get 10 points for knowing a difficult word from a song he even admits is not from the 80s. Not the best quiz as far as a quiz goes. But a fun waste of time for sure.

I'd like to have seen some of the better alternative stuff too. I don't recall any Echo and the Bunnymen. For that matter, no Billy Joel, Duran Duran, Europe, Ramones, or the Cure. grr.... now I'm getting angry.

I got 85. i reckon once you work out typos, I got a 90 at least. Making me pretty smrt when it comes to the 80s

post to keep all those pictures from showing up every single time i look at recent posts

Actually: some content:
I think we talked about stickfas once before, but I refused to patronize them because of a long contentless intro and a failure to find anything at all on their site. Maybe they've changed it. I'm not checking.

That's not what I meant. Each picture kept starting and the little square (sorry, screen was the wrong word) kept getting bigger.

Several polyhedra in various materials with similar symbols are known from the Roman period. Modern scholarship has not yet established the game for which these dice were used.


I think we all know what they used that for. A little game they liked to call "Caverns & Cavemen."

One of these days they'll find out that Nero was busy playing D&D while Rome was burning.
