[where to find the answer key? AH – that is the TRUE test…..]November 26, 2006 at 1:13 pm #19485snowlionParticipantI feel let down on #13 I was hopeful for a New Tommy Chong hit! No wonder I cant find it in any of these 81 chapters of lyrics man,..ha ha
November 26, 2006 at 1:27 pm #19487NnonnthParticipantIt’s WAY too easy.
For example, OBVIOUSLY ALL DANCES are rounder than square dances. Also, anyone who knows Chinese medicine would know about yin and tonic. I could go on. I’m really quite surprised at you. NN

This was a mindless sitcom break, to make you feel smarter than the quiz maker.

Try this one:
THE LEWINSKY and KACZYNSKI LIMERICK
The Washington Post runs a weekly contest in its Style section called
the “Style Invitational.” The requirements this week were to use the
two words Lewinsky (The Intern) and Kaczynski (the Unabomber) in the same
limerick. The following winning entries were printed in the
newspaper.> Third place:
> There once was a girl named Lewinsky,
> Who played on a flute like Stravinsky,
> ‘Twas “Hail to the Chief”
> On this flute made of beef
> That stole the front page from Kaczynski.> Second place:
> Said Clinton to young Ms. Lewinsky
> “We don’t want to leave clues like Kaczynski Since you made such a
mess
> Use the hem of your dress And please wipe off your chinsky.”> And the winning entry:
> Lewinsky and Clinton have shown
> What Kaczynski must surely have known
> That an intern is better
> Than a bomb in a letter
> When deciding how best to be blownNovember 27, 2006 at 11:47 am #19497NnonnthParticipantThere once was a young man from Peru
Whose limericks always ended on line twoand my absolute favourite:
There once was a limerick by me
That didn’t rhyme at all
It didn’t have those two middle lines
That are shorter than the other two
Or any scansion of any kind.And it had one line too many.
November 27, 2006 at 3:11 pm #19499NnonnthParticipantA remarkable man named Pietro
Found his balls were too big for the metro.
He was forced to commute
In a big iron suit –
People said that his style was too retro.November 27, 2006 at 5:15 pm #19501singing oceanParticipantI want to be a swogi
November 27, 2006 at 10:43 pm #19503Simon V.ParticipantWhen a monk is caught napping,
It’s not enough to sound out with one hand clapping…
But I’d rather be a carefree taoist drunk,
Than a comfortably napping monk,
Receiving from the master a stern slapping!November 27, 2006 at 11:35 pm #19505Simon V.ParticipantThough my last limerick’s scansion was off,
As a drunk taoist at stiff rules I scoff;
Being of quick wit,
And terribly fit,
The chains of creed I easily cast off!November 28, 2006 at 2:11 am #19507singing oceanParticipantThere was a sorcerer named Nnonnth
Who avoided the island of Bonth,
being stuck in a rut
and called jabba the hutt
were things he disliked to the ten millionthNovember 28, 2006 at 7:47 am #19509NnonnthParticipant -
