Thanks for embarrassing me by showing my name near the bottom of the list, although I do feel special being above two other members and an unknown. :p

Yes, I knew Tiny Tim's real name wasn't Timothy Little, but I threw it out there in the line of humor such as you did by offering an option for the name of the uke's Portugese predecessor as Zippo Lighter.

Hey, at least I didn't cheat and look up stuff. :D

When the contest is over, would you please post the questions with the answers?
 
i honestly didn't use the internet on any of the answers. of course, that probably shows in my performance. thanks for the quiz & fun! please let us know the right answers after it's all over.

mahalo!
:shaka:
 
A lot of the answers were pretty funny, folks got into the spirit of it. It's kind of a goofy and fun quiz (like me). Someone said the voice of Jimminy Cricket was "some old dude" Har Har. I should have put more fill in in the blank questions. ll post the answers when done and some links to where I got the information. If there is a tie I'm gonna post the "Why is the Uke called the instrument of the 21st century" question on UU and let everyone vote for the winner. No one has gotten them all correct yet.

Crap, I'd better check my source, I thought it was a Zippo Lighter.
 
The cemetery that houses the earthly remains of Tiny Tim is probably under a mile from where I'm currently sitting. Lakewood cemetery. I've seen the plaque.

And I don't really feel like I deserve a prize if I "win". I did double check a couple answers I wasn't sure of. I would like to disqualify myself. It's only fair.

More folks got the TT question than you would think (I wouldn't have), there were others questions that stumped a lot more folks.

My strategy was simple: whenever I didn't know the answer, I picked the funniest choice!

So far no one has aced the quiz. Is there a Mensa convention going on for Uke players?
