Omar and the Olympics, sitting in a tree
The Olympics start this week, and I couldn't be happier about it. I love the Olympics. That's on my list of things to do, to get to watch Olympic events in person. If I weren't already married, and if you could marry Olympics, I'd do it. In fact, I'd settle for a one night stand with the Olympics. I wouldn't even be mad if the Olympics never called me again. One time, I had this dream about me and the Olympics...
I'll save that for another day. In the mean time, I'm happy to bring you:
omarphillips.net quiz 7: The Winter Olympic Games
As always, please leave your score in the comments.

It says I only got six right, but I'm pretty sure it should be seven, or at least six-and-a-half, because I knew it was either Calgary OR Lake Placid for the 1988 Winter O's in North America or whatever. Either I'm wrong or Miracle is wrong... or both.
But I'm probably just plain wrong. That was a good quiz; I like the Olympics too.

70%! OMG! I think that's like the best omarphillips.net quiz score I've ever received!
I said:
Two early respondents got 60% and 70%?! I may have made this one too easy...
Sarah said:
I only got 50% and that was cheating on two of them. I LOVE the Olympics, so long as I don't have to answer trivia questions about it.

you can now call me 50 'cent. Your tests are way too hard, Omar. And I should know, I'm a 'doctor,' after all...
Katie said:
Qoq, I have never, in my whole, received less than 60%, but today I put that to shame. Man, I never know a 20% could be so life shattering.
Jackie said:
God I'm an idiot... I got ONE right! Do I get a free pass? I've never watched them.
Mable said:
60%.. I am a loser. However I can identify every jump that a figure skater can perform and describe it to you perfectly.
What is the right answer to the 1988 games?
Radioactive Brain said:
Ha! Haha! I got 70%!!! Woohoo!
Or was that the percentage of wrong answers...
Lia said:
I got 20%, but at least half of that was dumb luck. I (hope I) would do better on a summer Olympics quiz.
I may not know the trivia, but I love to watch. I want to get to an Olympics live; that was why I was rooting for NYC2012. Maybe I'll go to London.

I’m not 100% sure, but I think I score approximately 40% no matter what the quiz is. I’ll bet if you gave me a quiz on what I did yesterday, I’d still only get 40%. I’m actually ok with that. I like the Olympics, I just hate it when the networks screw with them so you only get to watch tape delay or you just get highlights… I think I prefer the X-Games more for sheer entertainment and awe though.
X said:
Twenty percent. I'm the best at being the worst.

Apparently - your banner lies. You don't just want to be friends with the Olympics ;)
Glo said:
30% !! I continue my proud tradition of knowing nothing!
Lanna Lee Maheux-Quinn said:
I got 20%. And felt happy that someone got less right than I did.
What does that say about me, anyway?
Syar said:
I got 50%. thanks google.
its so sad, I cheated and still only got that pathetic score. but I got three lucky guesses, so karma must have pitied me.
Becky said:

Screaming Buffalo said:
Sorry Omar, I must be an idiot. I couldn't run the freakin' program. After the Second Window, there were no questions.
'ka said:
