I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.

Let's just say that I don't remember the 19th century very well.

ETA: However, I did go 15-for-15 on the license plate quiz. So I've got that going for me.

Good quiz... thought I was tapped with 4 mins left but managed to remember about 10 more.  Missed James Monroe, Martin Van Buren, Rutherford B. Hayes, Warren Harding.

Missed 5. Good time-waster.


Van Buren, Pierce, Hayes, Arthur, and Benjamin Harrison. Assholes.

I had one to go with about five minutes left and someone came into my office. I didn't get back to it in time.

But then again, I was on my HS academic team, so I suppose I'm a nerd.

Yeah, only by the time I was a senior (95), Texaco was no longer sponsoring it. In fact, I think that was the first year they didn't. It became the National Academic Championships, sans sponsor. But Chip Bell still ran it, as I believe he does to this day.

Those tournaments were a blast.

The toughest test I found on there regarding presidents was matching the portrait to the name.  40% not that great.

39 out of 42 as well.  The two Harrisons and Warren Harding, whom I can't believe I forgot.

i missed 8.  Van Buren can kiss my ass.   

I wouldn't have remembered Millard Fillmore had it not been for that KIA commercial.  Didn't realize KIA was going to play such a vital role in a random presidential quiz
