Wait, what the hell? I went to leave a comment, and clicked on "Show original post", and now I'm looking at your post WITH THE ANSWERS. That's not the original post! What is this, some kind of demon-blog?

All I was going to say, was that I took your quiz. And that I got all the answers right. But they're different from those demon-answers that magically showed up just now.

But if you're going to use those answers, you should also include the question, Best guy I know whose middle name rhymes with his surname:

Reading your answers just reminded me of a dream I had a week ago that I intended to tell you about. I dreamt that I went to a Neil Diamond concert, and that I got it. I mean, I saw him, in the flesh, just a few feet away from me, and for the first time I truly GOT it, I viscerally understood why millions of women in the 1970s swooned and tore their shirts off in the hopes that they could follow in the footsteps of sweet Caroline.

That's a cool dream. When you woke up, did you feel different?

I'm sorry that you didn't get the correct answers to the quiz. (You're right, though, I should have included that other one – good catch.) What were your answers?
