pop quiz, hot shot
by Michele Christopher

It's hot, it's muggy, I'm irritated with the weather and kind of bored. Yep, that means turtle isnt' around and I'm going to just post something on a whim here.

You all seem to be an 80's kind of crowd. So how about a little quiz, 80's style, to kill part of your day?

Well, it's not very little. There are 106 questions. And I found the quiz in an old folder I forgot existed and I have no idea where the answers are. So let's see if you all can come up with all 106 on your own.

Answer as many as you want. Don't worry if you are repeating someone else's answers, that gets too complicated to start scrolling through comments. Just answer what you can. This is for fun. It's not like I'm gonna give a prize to whoever gets the most right. Maybe. Hmm. Maybe there's something in it for you after all. Yea.

Questions are in the extended entry. Leave your answers in the comments. Have fun.
