They have these Pop Culture Quizzes in Entertainment Weekly (see "top 10 (not) guilty pleasures") every so often, and I enjoy them. However, I rarely know any of the answers because the people at EW find things interesting/relevant/important/etc. that I do not. So I'm making one of my own. Keep your eyes on your own papers. Good luck.

The opening references to Seinfled, The Breakfast Club, Caddyshack, and Glengarry Glen Ross made me feel really stupid (much like the EW quizzes, by the way)... But, then I found my groove. Whew. A+ for any quiz that mentions Suiting up and Inigo Montoya!! :)
Some of these are hard! Even the ones that I should know, I don't!
1.) B
2.) Bill Murray, Carl Spackler? Something like that? Caddyshack
3.) Screws
4.) B This is just a guess. I actually have no idea.
5.) No clue. Dang, three points lost.
6.) Zen
7.) Matt Leblanc, Joey Tribianni, Friends
8.) C
9.) I am serious. And my name isn't Shirley. (Or something like that.)
10.) Darryl
11.) Again, no idea.
12.) B
13.) Never talk about Fight Club.
14.) C
15.) B?
16.) A
17.) C, and I knew that too.
18.) No clue.
19.) B
20.) C?
On some of these I definitely had no idea, but I didn't cheat and use Google or anything. So do I get bonus points?
