Initial Quiz

Ten million bonus points from me for the Kevin Ayers reference, though I'd have thought you'd know that track ;)

[lnr]

Technically it's more a case of know *of* it, but I couldn't resist.

This is incredibly hard with "J"

[lnr]

It was hard enough in places with "E" - I actually googled for colours as I didn't really want to use "eggplant".

D'oh and I forgot the reason for being late!

You could try "C" instead?

Hey, I'm a big fan of rule-bending, it's not a meme if you refuse to allow it to mutate.

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I think "Use the first FOUR letters of your name" is an interesting variant, if only once :)

Ha, you picked Marillion as well :-)

Though if I'd noticed you'd used 'open' as your four-letter word, I might have picked 'shut' for the sake of symmetry.

and I thought it Kouldn't be done ... ;)

Isn't this a bit easy and pointless? Now try again pretending that you were called Xanthia or Xavier. You probably won't be able to answer them all, but how many can you manage?

[lnr]

It's a meme, what do you expect? It's meant as nothing more than a few minutes mild entertainment, and as both I and my friends seem to have got that I'm happy.

If you'd like to a) tell us you name or b) pretend you're Xander and have a go then feel free.
