See if there is interest for this.

1. Each day I will post 10 questions, at random times of the day.
2. Each Quiz runs exactly 24 hours.
3. The first person that has all 10 questions right, wins. Or if no one has all questions right, the best one wins.
4. You can only post answers ONCE for the same quiz.
5. No cash involved. Just glory. :)

I had hoped to stay up a little longer for this, but I just can't. So, here are the answers:

1. Windex
2. Aneurysm
3. Jedi Mind Trick
4. Blarney Stone
5. Rattlesnake
6. Boilermaker
7. Cable Guy
8. Harvey Wallbanger
9. Bloody Mary
10. Shirley Temple
Bonus: Moonshine

And for those of you who guessed Brain Freeze, that is a different drink made with Cuervo, shaved or crushed ice and grenadine with powdered sugar to taste. Usually a large amount is made in a pitcher and then poured into frozen shot glasses.

Good job, all of you! Serena gets it with 8 correct answers. *grin* Slainte!

Okay, boys and girls I have to head out for a few hours, but I'll post a quiz when I get back. Anyone have a preference? I'm thinking either Class Lit or something more Sleuthy. Up to you :)

Okay since no one seemed to have a preference, I decided to go with Classic Literature...More specifically questions about novels typically found on a required reading list at some point during a person's educational career.

1. To whom does Holden Caulfield, the narrator of Catcher In The Rye, tell his story?

2. Which March sister does Theodore Lawrence promise to kiss before she dies?

3. What is the first book in the Little House Series written by Laura Ingalls Wilder?

4. What is unusual about the "murderer" in Murder on the Orient Express?

5. In The Return of the Native, who returns and from where?

6. What does Hester Prynne name her illigitimate daughter?

7. In which era is the Great Gatsby set?

8. How does Frederic Henry's fiancee die in Hemingway's A Farewell To Arms?

9. What color are Dorothy's slippers in the novel The Wizard of Oz?

10. What Mark Twain character is famous for painting a fence?
