Seriously. There’s a new thread about them once week, at least.

Of course, there were plenty of other questions I screwed up worse on …

That’s OK. I can see my score would’ve sucked anyway.

One of these games I will make it to the top half. Or not. Probably not.

Woo Hoo! That was unexpected, I barely made it and just answered off the top of my head for most!  
I thought my Rush and Toys answers would sink me since we don’t have Target in Canada … yet.  
Cheers!

Hell, I managed to do worse than I expected even after seeing the ‘coat’ answers and going “D’oh!”

(At least I was right in my suspicions that the first two answers that came to mind, cumberbund and culottes, weren’t going to get any hits. Not that my final answer was an improvement.)

Culottes was my first thought, too! I figured nobody else would have it, though.

My first thought on the R rock group was, of course, “Rio” by Duran Duran…but then that didn’t work…

I was the only person who picked Monty Python and the Holy Grail, which is practically a SDMB religion.
