I don't often c&p stuff like this, but found this one amusing.

btw I got 100%, and didn't even have to look at the multiple choice answers for most of them!

Be sure to post your score!


Cheers,

RR

Not a boomer (I was born in 1970), but I got 18/20. I missed the Dylan one (Imthought it was "over 40") and the Pogo one.
 
I got all 20 but then I was born in '46  :twisted: :twisted: 
 
17/20 born in 72. I was however a latch key kid raised on syndicated TV reruns.
 
3/20. Cassius Clay, Blueberry Hill and the Beatles. I'm afraid the rest made no sense to me at all RR!
 
I'm a "millennial" or so I've been told and I got about 15/20.


Many of those are so ingrained into American pop culture that it would be hard not to know some of them.
 
19 out of 20 but in my defense, I never read Pogo much, I was a Blondie fan.
 
I am 29, and have been for 39 years. Got 'em all. Anyone here know what L/S/M/F/T means? Or is that too easy with this crowd? Or do they still use it?

Only because I've heard old Jack Benny radio programs (and have even used some in class)

You smoked in class?  :suspect: 
 
19 of 20, never paid attention to Dylan. Alternate for LSMFT, Loose strap means floppy titties.
