That was fun! I scored a 17 so I guess I do need to get a life but at least there ain't a restraining order against me.

Most surprising? Rob working in trading and investing. I would have never guessed.

I know this before but now it is official.....I am a CNN stalker. I got 18. No restraining orders so maybe I could work for CNN :P (in my dreams LOL)

The Rob question got me too. I learned something new today. Thanks Purple Tie. This was fun!!!!!!!

Great pop quiz! I only got 17 right. Scary that I'm able to remember that much.

Em said...

I scored 18...missed Anderson the "dancer" and one other. But I promise, I will probably never get close enough to any of those people to gain true "stalker" status! Athough, I may need to get a life;)

Really great post PT. I didn't keep score but I'm sure my blogmates beat me big time.

Sapphire said...
