I was doing great, then I bombed five in a row and ended up with 12 right.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Coding and Sleeping
Our dogs recently killed a raccoon in our backyard, cleaning that up wasn't fun. Though, now that I think about it, far better than road kill patrol way back when I did highway work.

Can you tell Arial from Helvetica:
I missed BSAF and TARGET. The all-caps throw me. The rest, though -- once you know the things to look for, it's pretty easy. (Helvetica doesn't have the slants on things like the top of lower-case t and the ends of lower-case c.)

Helvetica doesn't have any slants at all. All the strokes terminate at right angles. You can see a slight slant in the uppercase Arial “S”. The uppercase Helvetica “R” and “G” are quite distinctive, too.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I got 18 out of 20. The ones where the words/names were slanted threw me a bit.

From Korea: French fry-coated hot dog
If Coney Island witnessed the birth of the hot dog, Seoul in South Korea saw subsequent generations mutate into a an entirely new genus of animal. An animal coated in a skin of batter and french fries then presented deep-fried on a stick.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I had 20/20, but a few were random guesses pulled out of my hindquarters based on visual memory where knowing the rules wasn't enough to make it clear.
