And there you have it. You have mounted, and even surmounted, this quiz, which may or may not have amounted to points, quotage, or mounting. No Canadian Mounties were harmed during the making of this quiz, although they may have been mounted. Now I'm thinking about Harry Potter and Demountors, who suck out your soul by... other means. Ok, I'm done now.

Hope our American colleagues had a happy Thanksgiving weekend, and welcome one and all to the Christmas season, even though in some places it started two months ago. Savagery, I tell you. Uncivilized barbarians! OH THE HUMANITY!

Ahem. See you all tomorrow for more quizly goodness.

Rock On!
