Comments

Why do you have the answers listed?

Because Michele had posted the quiz for people to answer, and rather than take up all that space in her comments section, I decided to take up my own space.

Only slightly on topic, I have only one regret about the Willie Horton issue, not that it lost the race for Dukakis, but that from now on the name Willie Horton will be associated with the murdering criminal instead of the great Detroit Tiger Left fielder.

What was Pepsi with no caffeine called?

Pointless

Pepsi Max? Or is that something else?

Before I head over there:

22: Revenge of the Jedi
68: It was M&Ms in the book. You know, I don't think I've ever seen the movie.
93: Damn you! Now I've got that song stuck in my head! Do you come from the land downunder?

I obviously wasn't around much during the 80s.
