Never heard of The Friendly Confines. I had heard oracle of omaha and run for the roses before I think but missed them anyway. I'm also amazed I managed to come up with Snooki's last name, though I didn't exactly, but you were generous enough to accept my misspelled guess.

Just out of curiosity, on a scale of 1 to 10, how embarrassed are you to admit that you know that?

Strictly speaking, "Ma Bell" harkens back to when Bell Telephone was the only game in town, telephonically speaking. I personally have never heard of AT&T being referred to as Ma Bell.

That's incorrect. AT&T was formed and controlled the bell system around 1880 or somewhere around then. AT&T had the monopoly. People would use Ma Bell to refer to parent company and any Bell branch of the company.

Didn't know Whole Foods was referred to as such, but I like this almost as much as "Hipster Heaven."

Asking for Snooki's real name is a big ask.

Since when would Snooki be considered historical enough to be put on a quiz with the other historical people?!?!?!?!?!

Some generosity with spelling maybe? Stalone or Haselhof without having to guess where the double letters are?

I've heard "friendly confines" used to refer to any team's home stadium...never heard of it as specifically connected to Wrigley. But then again, I'm a Cards fan, so no shame in not knowing that one.

Also, Snooki? Seriously?
