This album, his first since 1997, came out towards autumn of 2002. I've been a JT fan since the early 70s when I saw him perform in a small L.A. club with Carole King. In my opinion, "October Road" is just fabulous.

For each of the first ten questions, remember the first letter; put them together to find the answer to question 15.

This fictional family was my absolute favorite when I was 9-11. I still read the Melendy family books sometimes--and I'm in my 40s!

This will be FAR easier than my Bookbag quiz. Also try my Tailspin quiz under Word Play. Fill in the missing word: Coffee _____ dance. The answer is 'break.' (Coffee break, break dance.) An additional hint might be 'clean' (clean break).

I give you, in fractured form, a catch-phrase or name associated with the war in Iraq that began in March of 2003. You type in the correct words. Spelling counts, but no punctuation is necessary. Don't worry about capitalization or lower-casing, either.

Although Condi and I are from opposite camps politically, I admire her. She is only 12 days older than I, but has achieved much, much more. Still, I don't know if I'd trade places. (And I've written more funtrivia.com quizzes than she has!)

Dr. Seuss made up names for people, places, plants, animals--you name it. His imagination never ran dry. I hope this quiz is fun to take!

Each one-word answer begins with tan. Have fun, and thanks for playing!

Each one-word answer contains the word "jack." (This is different from my "Jack" quiz in the Idioms section.)

Beginning with A and continuing on through Z, use the clues to find words that begin with successive alphabet letters and end with ISH. This type of quiz is more fun if you go FAST!

Born October 25, 1941, Anne Tyler is my favorite living writer. I'll try to make this quiz enjoyable for AT fans. The quiz will focus on recent books.

First, find a connecting word that fits with all three clues: For example, BAG will fit with brown, paper, and old (brown BAG, paper BAG, old BAG). Next, choose a 4th clue that ALSO fits, e.g., book (bookBAG).

This quiz is based on Verbonica's "October Fun" quiz, so you might want to take a look at that before you play this one. Each answer rhymes with the name of a month. The first two items will be multiple choice to get you started.
