	I credit this quiz to making my imagination conjure up some really strange, albeit amusing, visual imagery.

	Angelina's beau would be Brad. If you're looking for Pitt, it should say Jolie's beau.

	the answer to Seinfeld's tinkerbells" is a bit of a stretch....there are much better options that actually rhyme with Jerry

	Ellinikos:	Sep 22nd, 2009 at 04:39 GMT	42 points
	I missed reading the word 'beau', and ended up typing 'Jolie's Moleys'. Damn.

	I guess some of these rhyme's depend on your accent. :) As a Northwest native, I pronounce moore and floor the same way, same with ferry and fairy.

	The 2nd clue reminds me of one of Ken Nesbitt's poems: Katey ate a crate of eighty rated-Grade-A dates. Grade-A dates are rated Grade-A mainly for their weights. Eighty dates made plates and plates, and Katey ate all eighty. Katey met her fate that date, and now the crate hold Katey.

	Is anyone else giggling at "Ringo's dingos"?

	ChinaWhite:	Sep 22nd, 2009 at 05:16 GMT	5 points
	nice quiz, and Randall & spang you are both incorrect. Possessive of for Hanks would be Hanks' and Spears would be Spears'. Pronunciation is just like its spelled.

	@ Manders: Ringo ate my baby.

	To those complaining about the rhymes: The pronunciation of vowels varies a lot by region, esp. when combined with an R sound. But even with that variation, they're still near rhymes and that's good enough for most poets.

	@ChinaWhite: Hmm, are you sure about that? I just checked the first three sites that popped into my head (New York Times, Wikipedia, and the BBC), and they are all using Spears's instead of Spears'.

	springmom:	Sep 22nd, 2009 at 06:01 GMT	11 points
	@RandallPinkston - that's because they have bowed to public pressure to change it...back when I was in English class in the 1980s, putting it as Hanks's would have been an automatic failure on any paper. Language changes over time, and in this case, I think it's a mistake.

	For the golden girls one I think you could take rose's hoses because betty white played Rose

	Hess:	Sep 22nd, 2009 at 06:18 GMT	-4 points
	For Nicholsons Pants it should includes Jacks Dacks as this also fits the clue

	jaspa:	Sep 22nd, 2009 at 06:22 GMT	18 points
	The first thing I thought of for Golden Girls was Bea's capris. Although at her age, I have a feeling she would have called them knickerbockers.

	Finally a pop culture quiz I can ace.

	madhatter22:	Sep 22nd, 2009 at 06:30 GMT	5 points
	Fairy & Jerry are perfect rhymes for me too (lifelong Northern Californian). In my accent they also rhyme with 'very' and 'scary'. I also pronounce Moore and floor the same (to rhyme with door or more) but I know the last name is correctly pronounced as 'moor' or 'Moor", to rhyme with lure. What bugged me about this quiz (though I did like it overall) was that 3 of the rhymes didn't follow the pattern of the other 13 with the possessives. If the quiz is roughly half & half, fine, but it's confusing to only have a few that don't follow the pattern.

	hallostasis:	Sep 22nd, 2009 at 06:36 GMT	2 points
	No, ChinaWhite, you're incorrect. There's broad (and frankly unnecessary) disagreement on this point. Read your Fowler.

	Niques:	Sep 22nd, 2009 at 06:40 GMT	0 points
	I second Hess' alternate answer of "Jack's Dacks" - that was my first thought and it fits. Spears' and Hanks' are perfectably acceptable!

	livfred:	Sep 22nd, 2009 at 06:48 GMT	14 points
	@springmom: Your rule holds true for plural nouns that end in S, but not for names that end in S. The name of the novel and subsequent film was (correctly): Bridget Jones's Diary. As RandallPinkston also sourced (more authoritatively), the New York Times, Wiki, and the BBC all follow the same rule for possessives of proper nouns ending in S.

	Definitely gonna be up all night trying to figure out how Moore and floor don't rhyme.

	I got 'em all, but I had to look up the meaning of "precipitous"...

	@ springmom: That's absurd. Dropping the final s robs the word of any information about whether it is plural. If I write "Spears'" as you would have me do it, you can't tell if I'm referring to something belonging to one person named Spears or something owned collectively by the entire Spear family.

	llewdor:	Sep 22nd, 2009 at 06:56 GMT	0 points
	@ cottb128: For some, floor rhymes with bore, while Moore rhymes with Moor.

	llewdor:	Sep 22nd, 2009 at 06:57 GMT	12 points
	@ Everyone: Wikipedia's articles on regional English dialects are very informative.

	cottb128:	Sep 22nd, 2009 at 07:08 GMT	16 points
	lol @llewdor To me, that sentence is like saying bay rhymes with may while day rhymes with pay. I got nothin...

	Nolij:	Sep 22nd, 2009 at 07:49 GMT	8 points
	Hah! I love that "Rue's tutus" works!
