3 Notice how I refrained from telling him just to call it "dope," not "the dope." I have more restraint than I am generally credited with.

4 A pastime I have enjoyed myself on occasion.

5 It's kind of sweet, if you think about it.

1 Yeah, I read it. Well, I read the CliffsNotes.

1 Yes, someone else did the math for me. Okay?

1 A petition to the court to question whether the person is lawfully imprisoned.

1 I'm sorry. I had to quote Brando at least once on these dates.

1 Turns out, it was kind of interesting. Mr. Blank tried to get Petra's and my attention by pointing out that the document was written in a bar on 100 percent hemp paper. Unfortunately, the mentioning of hemp paper just got us paranoid.

2 I returned home about eight hours late after a school excursion.

3 That was back in the divine days before the digital camera. All you needed was the photo and the negative and it was like erasing history.

1 I guess I forgot to mention that Connor had called at least a dozen times since the opening of my photography/egg exhibit.

2 I'm speaking of the Benson from Soap, the brilliant sitcom from the seventies. (I am also in favor of the spinoff Benson but not offering as strong a recommendation.) 1 For answers, see appendix.

2 I wanted to prepare Demetrius for the experience of seeing people talk on their cell phones all the time.

3 Question #9 is courtesy of David. He's still really mad about the lack of current moon exploration.

1 If you've been reading these documents in order, you get that reference.

2 Why is it that I liked him even more after I learned he had asthma?

1 Sure, he could have washed it; but it's really hard to get blood out of denim and Merriweather didn't strike me as an expert on stain removal.

1 Morty's favorite deli.

1 They totally knew it was Rae.

2 Not really. I had them worked out.

1 Which is why I asked what was for dinner in the first place.

1 That reminds me. I should include this in a future Merriweather quiz.

1 Primarily a zero-interest loan.

2 So I would drink less of his.

1 A few things from high school stuck, okay?

1 Not to suggest that I have any idea what's going on on the other side.

1 No, I never read that freakin' "rules" book, and let me tell you where you can stick it.

2 Stupid, I know. But the slot is hard to find.

1 An organic cheese puff-like snack, which is not all that bad if there are no Cheetos around.

1 "Morty's Last Words," it was called. See previous document for complete list.

1 For answers, see appendix.

1 Oh, how I tried to change that opening line.

2 Yes, I tried to get rid of "the."
