THE LOADED QUESTION - er

Towers open fire! Seize all incoming answers to September edition of "Loaded Question- er." Contest over. In a rare one-sided thrashing, the loaded one got cold cocked by the readers as we had at least a half dozen winners in the first few hours after we went up. Strictly a three-hit fight. I hit the keyboard, you hit me, I hit the floor. In fact, Jeff and Kay's cat, Daisy, got five of 10 right and she can't even read.

Wouldn't you guys at least humor the old timer on this? I mean take a day or two, make it seem like the questions were authored by someone who's been to more than two races.

Okay, I think I've got my composure.

This edition's contest will fall under the heading of: INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT QUIZ! Just playing. The real heading of this edition is:
