	Shoot, I got really excited because I saw the "H" and immediately thought "H" quiz. :D This was still fun though.

	Doesn't one edge a lawn, not hedge? Seems like the lawn part is on the wrong side.

	I really like HenryFieldstone's quizzes, and this is no exception. Well done.

	sporcle just hit 100,000,000 !!!!!

	indyjeff:	Sep 20th, 2009 at 06:39 GMT	26 points
	Well, I didn't hear any alarms or sirens, and no balloons fell on me, so I guess I didn't play the 100,000,000th quiz.

	tamazin:	Sep 20th, 2009 at 06:44 GMT	12 points
	congratulations sporcle!!!

	I usually stink at these types of quizzes but I totally rocked this one. The Casabalanca one threw me for a while though.

	red_andy:	Sep 20th, 2009 at 08:05 GMT	2 points
	Surprised so few people got the Casablanca one. Then again, I was in Casablanca itself last week and saw the location in question.

	Heef:	Sep 20th, 2009 at 09:22 GMT	12 points
	Good timing for this quiz. There was a real stink in the New Zealand news this week at the NZ Geographical board voted to add an 'h' back into the name of the City of Wanganui (Whanganui). Interestingly, this makes a bigger difference than you would expect, as in the Maori language, 'Wh' is pronounced 'F' Now try and pronounce the skiing resort of Whakapapa...

	I don't get the "bus" one...in America, do you "bus the table" after dinner? Where did that phrase come from?! @ red_andy: if everyone else was doing what I did, they were trying all different variations of the word "bar"! Interesting, I never knew that it was a real place (the bar that is, not Casablanca).

	tm4:	Sep 20th, 2009 at 10:42 GMT	22 points
	Chris: Yes, we "bus the table" after dinner. "Busing" comes from "busboy", short for "omnibus boy" - a restaurant worker who does omnibus (many) tasks, including clearing tables.

	Loved it: c'mon, vote me up 'cos I'm happy?

	I don't get the "sharpness" ---> "edge" connection

	I didn't get the Casablanca one because I kept thinking "Rick's place is called 'Rick's'!" Haha, silly me.

	ones I missed didnt even dawn on me. still a great quiz happy 100,000,000th

	awesomegerbzy:	Sep 20th, 2009 at 15:50 GMT	-4 points
	How did I miss "sore/shore"? Also I kept expecting to see wit/with...but still a good quiz.

	SammyG:	Sep 20th, 2009 at 16:01 GMT	15 points
	Dammit Rick, you got me. Of all the Sporcle quizzes in all the world, you had to mess up mine.

	NoVan:	Sep 20th, 2009 at 16:02 GMT	1 point
	I'm not so sure about the clue for "shale". Clay/sediment form shale, whereas shale is the parent rock of slate, a metamorphic rock. None of these actually equate to shale.

	i kept trying "gin joint" for rick's place. unfortunately "gin jointh" doesn't mean anything.

	red_andy:	Sep 20th, 2009 at 17:17 GMT	2 points
	@Chris: I don't know whether the place predates or post-dates the film, but it does exist. I didn't go in but it's apparently a decent bar/restaurant.

	chikka2:	Sep 20th, 2009 at 19:28 GMT	-2 points
	Fun quiz. It's been awhile since I got all points on a quiz and I'm glad it happened on 100,000,000 day. Congrats, Sporcle! You are part of my life

	GeordieGordie:	Sep 20th, 2009 at 20:40 GMT	4 points
	Damn. It chafes that I just worked out it wasn't Rick's bar when the time ran out. It would been a perfect score, I coulda been a contender.

	Of all the quizzes on all the websites in all the net, it pops up on mine... :\|

	:) someone already made that joke. sorry.

	Prepostosaurus:	Sep 21st, 2009 at 06:42 GMT	-2 points
	i like it, but i think it's much too easy. i got most of these buy just reading one side and thinking of suitable answers that are still intelligible words if they have an H thrown in somewhere.

	ubernora:	Sep 21st, 2009 at 07:16 GMT	5 points
	Man I feel dumb. For "period of work" I kept thinking of art things like Picasso's blue period! I couldn't for the life of me come up with any word containing an h for that.

	Ribhump:	Sep 21st, 2009 at 11:29 GMT	-3 points
	never heard of bus as a verb linked with tidying a table, i'll assume it's a specifically american phrase...ah well

	Eeees:	Sep 21st, 2009 at 12:52 GMT	-3 points
	Had no difficulty with any of them with the exception of "period of work." :(

	Turtle:	Sep 23rd, 2009 at 22:51 GMT	-2 points
	"Armored Car" is misleading, in my opinion. I think it should be "Armored Fighting Vehicle" or "Tracked Military Vehicle" or something along those lines.

	corner7bass:	Sep 24th, 2009 at 16:00 GMT	-2 points
	I love these quizzes!

	suzyq:	Sep 26th, 2009 at 22:46 GMT	1 point
	I would have enjoyed this quiz much more had the players had to guess the actual word with the "h" added on. I guessed most of the words right away just by reading the right-hand column.
