THIRD PLACE
BILL PAYNE of Los Angeles, CA
54%
I am not sure that this is what Bill looks like (see above), but I was unable to get a photo of him and I just had to guess what he looks like. Bill did an excellent job considering that he is a purest and did not google any of the answers. Thanks for entering the quiz, Bill. You are the proud winner of one quart of Lumpy Dick. You will receive your prize in the mail.
CONGRATULATIONS BILL!
There was no fourth place winner because no one else entered the quiz. The Dude said he had some answers but did not make an official entry because he didn't want to come in fourth and have to ride with Curt Wankier on Curt's tractor.
I was disappointed that more people didn't enter. I quess the intellectual capacity of those living back east was totally overwhelmed. Other blog readers scattered across the western states, as well as those living in Utah also must also have felt IQ impaired.
Anyway, thanks to you three fine people who did enter. I appreciate it very much.

Thank you Voo for a challenging quiz. It was a must for history lovers (not necessarily old people). I am forgoing my prize because I don't eat meat and I won't be at the Sno Caps by Oct. 31. I am giving my two ribs to Oil Can.
I live for quiz. lil lo
I just think people who do these quizzes have nothing else to do with their lives. Maybe that would be a good thing. Congratulations Joyce, I know I could never compete with you. You are good at history because you have a much more exciting past than I do.
Nice to take second.. now I know kinda how the Red Sox felt for years.. and the Cubs... second place is better than second to the last... where is where I actually finished on this quiz.. Lit'l low took third to the last... As far as looking forward to new quizzes I think not.. Joanne is right.. quiz surfers have nothing better to do... but now I can relax and concentrate on my quilting expertise and futuristic toenail art..
You're right Joanne-- I have nothing better to do with my life. My work isn't really work. I should play golf or bridge-- much more stimulating I am sure.
Why does my sister hate me?
And Oil Can-- whom I care for so much. What does it mean? Third to the last?
I should be high-- but I am-- A LIL LO
