#11 should be Jerry Rubin (of the Chicago Seven), not Bob Dylan.

I know you didn't make up the test, Bill - just sayin'.....

I managed 18 of them. Some of them I did know, and had a couple of well-placed guesses. I did miss #11. I thought it was Abbie Hoffman, not Dylan. Did'nt know the Pogo cartoon reference, either.


Can I get some extra credit for being under 60?

35 y.o. and I got 17/20.

Dang, now I have this stuck in my head:

I'm Popeye the Sailor-man
I'm Popeye the Sailor-man
I'm strong to the finish
'Cause I eats me spinach
I'm Popeye the Sailor-man!

At least I like spinach--cooked or raw.

You quoted the later family rated version!

The original:

I'm Popeye the sailor man,
I live in a garbage can
I never go swimmin'
with bare naked wimmin,
I'm Popeye the sailor man! (toot toot)
