Hi Brodie,
As you can see I am now a logged in user. Cheers!
I would fill in above quiz using rural Irish colloquialisms, but reading it now I see that not all the questions are fully relevant. For instance the first five answers would be; Stream, ? (what's a grocery store?), tinfoil, bucket, log, etc. Not that I come from such a background, you must understand. Oh well, I hope you have more success with your other friends.
Later!
