20 Questions: Halloween Edition

20 Questions: Halloween Edition

Enough with all of the keening, wailing and gnashing of teeth; let’s play a game!
This multiple choice quiz will feature questions about 20 people I am thankful to have as friends.

The first person that e-mails me all the correct answers to the quiz wins … um, let’s see… I could call you and do a bunch of silly voices… or put you in my will or something. We’ll figure something out.

#1

This question pertains to my very first nephew, Jack Lee, reaper of lost souls, and all around swell chap. We’ve gone to the Motor City Comicon together for roughly the last 75 years. I love him.

Which of the following is another annual event Jack and I look forward to?

A. On the full moon every April, Jack and I dress as Bucky Barnes and Jason Todd and scour the greater Flint area for criminals to kick in the nethers.

B. On Jack’s birthday every year, I attempt, and frequently succeed in choke slamming him straight to Hell.

  2. Cripes, you know an awful lot about an awful lot, dontcha? :D

    You would not BELIEVE how much more fabulous Jenifer's hair is in person!! Alas, I'm not sure how many first cousins Anastasia has--only that she has one of the greatest names evar (which befits her, being the ever so rad, keen 'n awesome gal that she is...).

    The "Britih" Open? Honey, didn't you remember to spellcheck this before posting it? ;)

    Andy and I now have a definite goal: to make it onto your "favorite couples" list. We know it'll take a long time and will be a fearsome challenge, but I think we'll eventually be able to achieve that designation. (I also have NO idea of the answer to that question, but dammit, no-one told me it was going to be part of my Girlfriend Contract to know arcane trivia about historical Andrews! Isn't it enough that I actually paid attention to the baseball playoffs and World Series, despite being an only-soccer-and-hockey kinda gal?)
