30 Mar 17 - 03:34 PM (#3847645) Subject: RE: Quiz - Musicals From: Stim Thank you for your most humbling exercise;-) Though I got many of the answers, the ones that I missed should have been obvious-for instance #4, which I've seen more times than I care to admit, and I have a close friend who makes conspicuous use of the word. Enough said. At any rate, well done! |
