Since we're quoting TV/movies, I relied on the bank examiner from It's a Wonderful Life (to no avail, it turns out): Will this take long? I want to get home to Elmira to spend Christmas with my family.

I attended Mizzou (Columbia, Mo.) and dated a girl from Peoria, Ill. Naturally, I missed both. And since both Columbia and Peoria are in two states on this quiz, it cost me four answers. Awesome.

I, for one, demand more quizzes that have Rancho Cucamonga for an answer. We could turn it into the Kyrgyzstan of the US (in Sporcle terms).

I was sure you had left out Odessa, TX... turns out they missed it by 60 people: 99,940, wow. Great quiz, and yes very frustrating.

Santa Clarita larger than Santa Clara? That's ironic.

Pretty soon, my town will be twice the size of the town of which it is the diminuitive form. (for those of you who don't know, Clarita is "Little Clara")

"I, for one, demand more quizzes that have Rancho Cucamonga for an answer. We could turn it into the Kyrgyzstan of the US (in Sporcle terms)."
Oh, please, no. I am so tired of the "witty" remarks about Kyrgyzstan in every geography comment section. That doesn't even address the lack of variety and creativity of quiz makers who are trying too hard to create some kind of Sporcle meme. Anyway, good quiz. It bugs me that I got Mesa, Arizona, but forget Costa Mesa, California. Those two cities kind of demonstrate the ridiculous population increases in Arizona. Mesa used to be a fairly small city. Like Glendale, Arizona, you always thought of the similarly-named California city first. These days, the Arizona cities are dwarfing their sister cities in California. As far as I'm concerned, that's not a good thing.
