So how did you do? I missed #1 & #10; and I put bras for 11 instead of draft cards. We had a bra-burning bonfire in our dorm room so I think of burning bras before I think of burning draft cards.
I missed 3 and I couldn't get Freddy the Freeloader to pop into my brain.
Great quiz, Susan, and fun walk down memory lane.
i got them all but 7,9,10 & 11 - not bad for an aussie :)
