Relief - I'm not the only one. Makes up for the unrelief of Mood widening the gap. I'm not proud. See, I thought I knew Tart pretty darned well, but just don't recognise the 'nets' quote.

you're really worried about my Sweet Zombie Skills, not the gap, aren't you? but don't fret. I chose the "stash-them-somewhere-safe-until-you-know-they're-zombies" answer to the What Do You Do If Your Friend Is Bitten?

Came across this today (it is a slow day here at the household). Thought some newer members might want to see it, it's quite fun.

I got 67/69. Not bad at all, considering I only discovered Elvis about seven months ago. But then, again, I have the young mind at work... :lol:
Why don't you write about it in your blag?

69 out of 69 as well.

I had to guess on a few. Good guessing, I suppose.

It would have a lot harder if they asked for the song title.

I'm glad most folks are enjoying this. I do wish I had a way to tell which questions people missed.

I couldn't get an answer to my test result with out signing up to some loser dating agency / lonely hearts and even then it would not give me the result without some crucial willy size info which I declined to give, that might of been post code or something , anyway at a guess probably only 45 correct.

Finally got around to taking it:

Your Score: My Aim Is True
You scored 64 lyrical acumen!

I guessed on at least 15 of them.

I lied about my willy size, but who doesn't.

In the same vein (no pun intended), medical students are told to multiply patient's self reported alcohol intake by 3 to be closer to truth.

It's a link to this site so that the Doc can match you up to your perfect Elvis Board Companion.

I am prohibited from telling you who mine was for fear of upsetting all of the other ladies on the Board :wink: :lol:
