Yikes, I only got 7 right and one of those was "a silver something" so does that make it only 6.5?! But I'm not American so I don't know things like who said what on the Ed Sullivan show and stuff like that (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!). Anyhoo, I learned something coz I never knew "American Pie" was a tribute to Buddy Holly (and I'm old enough to remember him when he was still alive, lol!) :) xxx
Mom got two wrong. Yikes! I never think of her as OLD!
Crapity crap crap crap! Mom gots all of dem RIGHT! Worser den dat, mom and dad actually went to a theater and saw Red Skelton live...live peepuls! Mom is ancient!
Crapity crap crap crap redux--my mom got them all right too!!!
hehe, Momma only missed three! Guess that means she's old, too!
Kittyhugs and purrs from MaoMao!

100% and I'm only in my 30s. :) Happy TT.
Bean said the Lone Ranger also left behind poop from his horse.
Mama got 7 right. How old does that make her? (^_^) This was fun!
My Mommie only got six of dem rite. De udders wuns she didna noe. Does dat makes her too yung to noe, or soo old shes furgot?
My human missed four. I wonder how well the male would do?
My Mommie got 8 of them right. But she is old; she's just not very smart.
My Meowm missed 5 and only knew one other name for the VW. She says she probably knew some of the ones she missed at one time, but has forgotten them.....
our mommy didn't know 2. she must be ANCIENT. Daddy akshually MEETED Red Skelton - his daddy was a stage hand and knowed Mr Skelton (AND the 3 stooges). Daddy's Daddy was 57 when daddy was borned, so our daddy is ancient but not REAL ancient.
The Big Thing must be REALLY old. He got them all right... He dint even haf to THINK about them!
ACK!!! Our Mom is old, too. She got almost all right and the ones she didn't was because her mind is going!! (hehehehe) Great T13.
Your FL furiends,
Yeah, Jan's older than us too.
Very nice. We didn't know any of the answers, but Jan knew them. It just took her for-e-v-e-r to pull them out of her file cabinet of a brain.
