18....................gn

20 of 20 (over 60). Guessed on Pogo .

.

20-20... seems like yesterday!

me too 20 out of 20 and definitely over 60

20 out of 20
 

I too somewhat guessed on POGO.

18 out of 20. I guess age is creeping up on me or my memory is fading.

19/20 - Personally I don't remember any of them but my mom and dad told me about them.

Just kidding - I'm old....

19 of 20. # 10 I never heard of and the guess was wrong.

20/20 (without having to look at the choices first) That kind of stuff and lyrics to old, really old songs --that's what I remember. How useful is that? And I can't even sing.

Boomer

18 out of 20 Never read Pogo #10 is from the Wizard of Oz

20
 

20, got them all:eclipsee_gold_cup:
But remember, it's the short term memory that is the first to go.
You remember this minutia but don't remember what you ate for lunch.
:1rotfl::1rotfl:

Did I eat today?

20/20
 

I guess on Wonder Bread. Thought it could've been cod liver oil, yuck!!
It was fun remembering.
