Lee,
I escaped from the American smuggler's prison and I even managed
to take the spray cheese with me. It was all worth it! I now feel
like I "belong" here. It couldn't have been done without the help of
Donna D and Sheila .... but I can't go into the details for fear of their
safety ... I'm okay ... don't think the FBI has dog sled teams and even
if they did I doubt they would go to all that trouble for one 8 oz. can
of Easy Cheese.

Thanks Gerri. I have to warn you that there wasn't much to do
in the smuggler's prison so I had lots of time to study triva......

Pink,
So glad you made it out of prison - cheese spray intact. I wonder what Lee has in store for us. I'm sure you will beat me once again - having all that time to hone your skills, but I'll still have fun trying.
May the best (wo)man (or person with the most Google time) win.

Yes Sassy, I remembered all of the special uses of spray cheese and it
certainly came in handy ... that's why I only escaped with one can ... the
rest were used to faciliate my escape. Again, I couldn't have done it
without Donna D and Sheila's help ... wish I could tell you everything they
did for me but it would be too dangerous for them. I'm so glad that I
remembered Lee's spray cheese eye injury ... that was crucial for the
escape plan.

Lee: I didn't get to meet Big Red or your granny ... I was apprehended
by the American police and was in an American prison ... If I hadn't
escaped, I was going to apply for extradiction and serve my time in
Nelson ... but that wasn't necessary.
Gerri: I can't leave you alone on this ... I will do some serious googling,
or as Andi says, goggling.... I too have never watched this show ...

Hey Pink,
I'm at work, ugh! I will see what I can find later tonight. I agree, this show is a lot more complicated than I gave it credit for.
See what you can dig up and I will do the same.
.......back to the old grind!

Honestly Gerri, because I cannot tell a lie, I was waiting for you to
finish the quiz. It is a very difficult one. But, since you and I are the
quiz answering fools, I will take another stab at it ....

Morning Gerri
I have gone through the quiz and made a list of the questions that need
answers. This is usually the quizmaster's job ... I'm just saying ...
We still need answers for #'s 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 19, 22, 23, 24, 26, 28, 29
31 and 32.
I will work on the first 7 questions if you will try the last 7. We can't let
Lee/Spike think that he has stumped us ....

Hey PinkGirl,
I was wondering what happened to you after you said you would work on this puzzling quiz. I'm at work (just checking in here) and will get to my 7 later tonight. I agree, we can't let the quizmaster get the best of us! I sure hope we can pull this one off!
Happy searching; I will check in later!
