OT: Test 337B

14..The Beach Boys urge scholastic patriotism(?).

15..RIP former candidate for the Supreme Court.

16..Among an 80's pop group hits are two, both with a single word repeated twice in the title.

17..A nation(?) has just elected Park Guan-Hye as president.

18..Figueres, Montserrat & Sitges radiate out from what central city?

19..Of the nearly 300B daily e-mails, what % is spam: 15, 25, 40, 55, 70.

23..In 1942 the Supreme Court mandated the recognition of divorces from..?

24..About how far back goes "The Little Drummer Boy"?

25..In this Catholic country, Christmas is celebrated by 9 daily pre-dawn masses.

C'mon, you can't be thinking of Notre Dame continuously for 4 days.

14. "Be True To Your School"
15. Robert Bork
19. WAG 15%
21. It's an internet photo site - upload photos, buy personalized photo books etc.
22. It's a mode of transportation in Venice - an overcrowded floating bus.

21 - what vtcwbuff says and more - my wife has created "seasonal" and "vacation" books, a calendar and most importantly, a 12x12 scrapbook (i.e. getting the pages) documenting every one of the 300+ lighthouses we have visited (we are up to New Jersey in doing the project alphabetically).

I am really impressed. Do you visit only the ones that were once manned or any of the "landlocked" (freshwater) lighthouses?

14..Be True to Your School

15..Bork

16..Talk Talk and Duran Duran

19..70%

21..Website to upload, store, and share photos

25..Phillipines? Ireland?

16..If it were Duran Duran Duran and if that were a song title, we'd be in business.

20.."So, kiss me my sweet; it's the ________ _____ __ ___ ____."

23..Not an international topic.

23. Nevada

 

[ed4ourgirls]

20. Your hint puts me in mind of another old sweet song:

So kiss me my sweet
And so let us part
For when I grow to old to dream
Your love will live in my heart.

 

[geordi]

14. Be True to Your School
15. Robert Bork
17. Gota be one or the other - I'll say Souse Korea
18. Barcelona, of course
19. My email has to be 70%
23. Mexico ?

 

[wire chief]

14..Yes, the highbrow "Be True to Your School", cited by geordi, vtc & Sarg.

15..Dems didn't want him, so Robert Bork didn't qualify. Sarg, geordi, vtc & rbny.

16..The 2 songs were by Abba. Does that ring?

17..Geordi, does that mean the lady is drunk with power? Rbny provides a more conventional answer of South Korea.

18..Ed4 & geordi with Barcelona.

19..Ed4, Sarg & geordi on target with 70%.

20..It reached #3 in 1951 by Mario Lanza.

21..One can't go wrong by reading Knights. Even vtc is blown away, and that's not easy to do.

22..Vtc cites the Venetian canal floater.

23..After my clarification, crown rightly provides Nevada.

24..Some of you may be surprised that the Christmas tune does not lurk far back in history. It was composed in 1941 & popularized in the 50's.

25..An educated guess by Sarg (why does one identify with a seaweed loaded sea-section?) gives us the Phillipines.

16. I thought of Abba - Money, Money and I do, I do,, I do?

There is a Money Money Money and a Gimme Gimme Gimme(a man after midnight).

 

[VAUConnFan]

15. Robert Bork (one fo the great travesties of the confirmation process. A true scholar, like Bork, gets borked, while Clarence Thomas still sits; doubtful he has ever written an opinion, doubtful he even has one that is not in line with Scalia. My apologies of the comment crosses any lines.)
16. Mony, Mony - Billy Idol, the other ???

20 It's either the loveliest night of the year or loveliest night of the year. Can't remember which, however.

Meant to write it's the loveliest time of the year. Since I didn't, I'll go with night.
