Of course I have been voted as the "Person most likely to be sitting on my front porch and screaming at the neighbor kids" by some friends.

I am NOT over fucking 40 GADAMMIT.

And just because I knew all but one of the answers does NOT qualify me as old. It qualifies me as having been a smart kid so fuck you old FOGs.

Bye the way: The rumor about "American Pie" being the name of the airplane that Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper died on is NOT TRUE. :D

The Lion Sleeps tonight was sung by the Tokens. They went to Lincoln H.S. in Brooklyn, while I went to a rival H.S. a few miles away. They were seniors ('62/'63) when I was a freshman. That makes them your age Slowpoke.
