1980s Brain Teasers

So Nick, T-lam, and I made a late night trip (if you want to consider 9:30 late) to the Tanforan target on friday night. Dang, I must love target since I had just went to the Serramonte one 3.5 hours earlier with Taft! Can't beat getting the Beatles Greatest Hits (all 27 of them) for $9.99. (Long story short...Taft was helping me make cd's - yes, some people still have discmans! - all afternoon. We were gonna burn tiff's beatles greatest hits cd but we ran out of time. So, lo and behold, target had it on sale and i bought it instead.) Don't you love x-mas sales! Actually I take that back...it's like target has x-mas sales all year long.
Well, we 3 (nick, t-lam, and I) came across the 1980s board game which has inspired me to come up with one of my own. I know this 80s stuff can all be played out...but I don't think we can ever get sick of the most memorable decade of our young (but not getting any younger) lives.

Taking you back to the old school. I need y'alls help with the following items...i'm kinda stuck. Please try to answer them without any outside help.

First one to answer all of the questions correctly gets the privilege of escorting me to target the next time I go. As tempting as that may be to y'all, just remember ONLY 1 of you can win. Please let others know since I know they would love to go with me (oh wait, y'all devoted ones to this site might not want the extra competition). Just remember...First Come (up with the right answers), First Served!

NOTE: Please submit answers ONLY AFTER 9am monday (Dec. 20) b/c that's the time I wake up during my vacation. And don't be changing the time on the bottom either!

Here we go...and we're off!

1. Where have we heard this from?

There were times when I lost a dream or two.
Found the trail, and at the end was you.
There’s a path you take and a path untaken.
The choice is up to you my friend.

2. Who are the "two" that this song is referring to?

Now, the world don't move to the beat of just one drum,
What might be right for you, may not be right for some.
A man is born, he's a man of means.
Then along come two, they got nothing but their jeans.

3. Who is this "new boy" and what was his best friend's name?

New boy in the neighborhood
Lives downstairs and it is understood.
He’s there just to take good care of me,
Like he’s one of the family.

4. Bill and Ted lived in what California town/city before they embarked on their excellent adventure?

5. Name 4 historical figures that Bill and Ted picked up on their excellent adventure.

6. Charles was in charge of three kids...what were their names - in order, who was the studious one, who was the pretty one, who was the geeky brother? List their character names (like any of you would remember their real names!).

That concludes the first quiz...more to come! I hope someone turns out to be like ken jennings and is unstoppable! who wants to be ken and start the streak?

Good luck and have fun,
Jefe
