My facetious answers......Gutter wrote: ↑Thu Nov 08, 2018 7:19 am These are NOT "general knowledge" questions - and I believe that none of the questions bandalum asked are geographically specific (as to where someone lives being able to answer them correctly or not) but these are going to be questions that I feel range from easy to difficult for NATIVE Chicagoans to answer correctly - and those who are not native Chicagoans would have a more difficult time answering. I am actually going to rate on a scale of 1-10 how difficult I feel the questions are for NATIVE Chicagoans and non-Chicagoans.
If you don't know the answers please truthfully answer that you don't know. There should be no shame in not knowing.

3) (1.25 for NATIVE Chicagoans and 9 for non-Chicagoans)
If I said I took the L and LSD today what would that mean?
