1. e) none of the above (there are clearly 512 in there)
2. b) growing grass in Meadowlands (where do you think I get my bud from?)
3. d) Budweiser (My father is very disappointed in me for this answer. Note: not all alcoholics have good taste in booze.)
Even though I am not a Dad and really don't want to win, I can't resist a quiz. Too bad I didn't this similar drive while actually in school. My feelings for Whit are much like my feelings for beer. Take that as you will.
P.S. I don't think you need the extra period there but I'm not an editor.

See why I couldn't be an editor? That sentence should read "Too bad I didn't HAVE this similar drive while actually in school."

1. There is no jar, and no jellybeans. That's a picture, dude.
2. Whiling away his summers with his Mexican counterpart Himmy Joffa.
3. Guinness. The rest are drinkable.
I have no use for 11 more books that I won't read. But if I do win I promise to donate them to the library.
I feel like Whit just made me count words purposelessly. Twice.

1. Is this a trick question? I knew it, I am goin with e!
2. Gotta be a. Little known fact: Cobain has the double-wide across the street.
3. Budweiser definitely does not belong, although would do in a pinch since you have to have beer.
I want to win because I'm from Seattle and I want to end the years of heartache, finally bringing a major championship to my city!
I only have ten words? Whit you are the sh#t!

The right answer is always "C" right? I mean that's how I got that 1600 on my SATs.

You don't know it but you automatically made the competition impossible to enter from the UK, not because you went on to disqualify us in your eligibility clause, a disgraceful act that I am even now penning my complaint to the European Court of Human Rights about...
What do you mean the USA is not signed up to the European Court of Human Rights ?
No - the problem is question 3.
You see, we have beer called "Stones" therefore all four belong.
OK, there's an argument that Stones beer is the odd one out because its actually gnats piss, but still, its says beer on the can.

Uncomfortable. That's what.

1. Gotta go with E...not a jar.
2. I am going with both B and C, knowing that if he is indeed buried in the stadium growing grass, it would be so much better if there were 1,673 Jelly Beans in there to help produce the sweetness.
3. Uh, well, I don't drink beer. So how about I say Scotch...or blue. Can blue be an acceptable answer?
Why should I win? Because I comment here, link to your blog, and can explain the difference between a Nuke Sub and a Boomer Sub.
Extra Credit...I feel he's a solid writer with a bad haircut.

Sorry, that disclaimer is a joke. It's from a Subway contest and I thought it funny.
NOT a disclaimer for this contest.
I'll answer comments later- I'm on my iPhone!!!

1. e) I don't believe those are jelly beans.
2. b) I know this because he sprouted up in my Lil' Green Patch on Facebook.
3. d) Belong where I might ask, but does it really matter?
The essay: I would like to win those eleven books so my overread wife doesn’t spend half of her next paycheck at Borders or Barnes & Noble.
The extra credit: Explain my feelings? Why can't I quit you, Whit Honea?

Happy Tuesday! I say that all of those number of jellybeans are in the jar! If there are 1,674, then there has to be 1,673 and 6!. My answer to #1 is d.
My answer to #2 is Who cares at this point in time?! and #3, I don't drink any beer, so I don't care. I don't know you, but the guy at the other site seems to and he gave me the wrong answers to your questions. If you are like him, I am not so sure about both of you. You do have a fanatastic site and two handsome young boys. I have two teenage sons! Wouldn't trade them for the world. Our family are all bibliophiles. You assortment of books is amazing. Please enter me in your "Father's Day" book drawing. I do appreciate it. Have a great "Father's Day!" Thanks,Cindi
