18/20. I missed diffuser as well. You will also not be surprised to hear I missed the football one.

I have heard that you are correct as to the first part and incorrect as to the second part. Consider John Bonham's drum solo in the live version of Moby Dick.

Don't know, but I did discover that "worke" was not an acceptable spelling of "werke". Which was annoying, given that I actually knew how to spell the first two words.

Besides, if I could spell in German, I'd be running most of Central Europe by now.

You do me great injury. Because I couldn't remember whether it was Motor or Motoren, or Werkes or Werken, I went ahead and used Bavarian Motor Works and got full credit. I had to Google it for the later post, but not for the quiz. Some things just aren't cricket, baby.

However, I admit I spelled it "Technical Knock Out" and was denied credit because they spelled it "Knock-Out" and "Knockout," which is bullshit because if it was one word it wouldn't be a proper acronym. So I went ahead and credited the point. God alone will judge me for that.

It's Brazilian wax, not Korean
 
In Korea, women get hair transplants to INCREASE pubic hair, which means they don't have all that shaving/waxing down-time. That may be why they have all that time for babying their sons, etc.

Is Suzy Kolber single? She probably knows more about football than anyone on the FB. Melissa Stark got pregnant, left MNF, and will be on the Today Show. I liked her. Another good choice would be the former Ann Werner (who got married and changed her last name to something I forgot.) She was a reporter for ESPN. I remember they sent her to Green Bay in a blizzard to do pregame reporting for NFL Countdown. She's demonstrated that she deserves a shot.

I think Lisa Guerrero was on The Best Damn Sports Show Period. This proves that merely being around athletes does not mean that you're qualified to be an sports reporter.

When Lisa opened one sideline spot with, "As a former soap opera vixen..." I cringed. What was worse was that John Madden pretended not to know what a vixen was. I wouldn't be surprised if Mrs. Madden is harassing the poolboy in her Blackhawk home.

Question: I am 42-years-old, have two children and have been married for 11 years. It is the first marriage for me, and my husband’s second marriage. He is 45. He seems to be obsessed by sex. At first it was flattering that he wanted me all the time, but now I am getting worried that we may have a real problem. He wants sex often, sometimes once a day, and when I try to put him off, he gets very angry. He has never hit me and is a good provider and father to the children. I don’t know what to do and worry it will get worse and then I might have to divorce him.
Answer: It's obvious. You are a frigid bitch. Do him a favor and divorce him.

Those things which you like but will never admit to liking in public.

Feel free to add catergories...

Purely random guilty pleasures:

1. Eating only the favorite color of Starburst/Skittles/M&M and dumping the rest (in the case of Starburst, into the reception area candy bowl, since they're wrapped)

2. Maintaining a pseudo-laminated list of now-single MILFs.

3. Screaming at idiotic drivers while in the car, but only with the windows rolled up (oops).

4. Allowing the answering machine to pick up all calls at home on the first ring. If you haven't figured this out yet and just hang up, you're obviously not worth talking to.

This list could go on indefinitely. Of course I'll deny them all in person.

That's a "guilty" pleasure?

Let go of your inner pain PD. Then scream freely and guiltlessly at the brain-damaged fuckhead in front of you who has never learned that their car has an accelerator pedal.

Works for me.

Yeah, roll the window down and threaten to kick their teeth in -- they'll think twice about doing what they did again. You have to make them PAY.

Edited to add that I only use my car about once a week. I don't recommend this (berating) for daily commuters...

He's no beanie-baby. [I would have fired her on the spot the first time I heard this one if I ran ESPN.]

She fucking suxass. She's ugly. And her teeth get in the way of the rest of her face. I detest her like a sickness.
