It is 3:00 A.M. The phone rings. What do I do? Captured in a sleep induced coma, I answered the phone. It was one of my blog readers (I'm already up to five!) I say, "What do you want?"
The anonymous reader says, "Your blog sucks! It is dull, uninteresting, and immature. This blog really needs an occasional quiz with prizes offered to the winner." I say, " I like that idea and it will be featured soon." The anonymous reader says, " It sounds great but you still suck." So readers ----- here goes! I now present to you the first bimonthly, bisexual, VOODOO QUIZ.
Today's quiz: UNITED STATES LANDMARKS.
Identify the numbered photos below. Send your answers to my e-mail or respond on the blog. Some of these questions have two parts. Only one entry person. The person with the most total points wins a tasty meatloaf dinner, as my guest, at Sno Cap Lanes. (If you are a vegetarian, you can have one trip through the salad bar.) In case of a tie, Spike will determine the winner.

Gee Voo, your quiz sure looks hard. It may take me a couple of weeks of googling to get all the answers but for a meal at sno cap lanes it sure is worth it.
P.S. your pumpkin is being framed this week.

just because you wrap a person with a blanket that isn't all here doesn't make him a Red Sox fan, he probably can't remember being there

Come on Voo! You're torturing me! When are you going to announce that I've won the quiz!!! I've been compulsively checking your blog multiple times every day---waiting waiting waiting. Please tell me I've won that trip through the salad bar at the Snow Cap/Cow Palace Lanes! I'm sure I won. If I didn't, I suspect fraud (Most likely Robyn. She's probably been hacking your blog), I won't stand for this any longer!
