A little something different from me this week: an interactive puzzle/quiz! Given how much I enjoy sporcle’s online quizzes (and since envy is often the best form of motivation), I sought to teach myself a little jquery and AJAX in spare moments between boredom. The following is my feeble attempt at coming up with a quiz to put on this site. I apologize if it’s a bit buggy. Good luck.

Cool puzzle! I can never remember Scarface no matter how many times I do it.

Hmmm… are you being sincere, or sarcastic? Because I did pick up the dry cleaning. So, you’re very welcome, or check the front closet!

It’s always fun to see the beginning of a lovers’ spat….you should have stuck with “You’re very welcome.”
I didn’t fare so well on the puzzle.

That it is, my friend, that it is.
But they’re referring to Glengarry Glen Ross when they make the quote:
“Now, now, listen to me. Even though you’re not actually selling stock yet, I want you to remember the code we have here, okay? Did you see Glengarry Glen Ross?”
…
“Yeah.”
…
“Okay, do you remember ‘ABC’?”
…
“Yeah. ‘Always be closing.’”
…
“That’s right. ‘Always be closing.’ ‘Telling’s not selling.’ That’s the attitude you wanna have, okay.”
