I didn't get Blair either. The other I got wrong? I identified Oprah as Lauryn Hill . They used a much younger picture of who it was, I think, but I'm still a little embarassed by that.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I didn't recognize Blair, (spoilerfonting just in case) Condoleeza Rice (I thought it might be her, then I got thrown by how bad her teeth looked and scolded myself for thinking that Ms. Rice might have such unphotogenic teeth--and then it turned out to be her, teeth and all) , Patrick Stewart, and, I think, one other person in the same category as Blair: know the name, know the person's importance in the world, have read plenty of words about but never paid attention to a single picture of the person. Eliminating those two, I got 90%. Which is embarrassingly higher than my real-life recognition abilities.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That was definitely a terrible and old picture of Condi. The teeth!

Right, so. I'm going to burn the world down.
Ah Shift, surely you don't want to set the world on fire, you just want to start a flame in your heart, in your heart you have one desire, and...
Dammit, I can't make it work.
In any event, I hope the day gets better.

THANK YOU, Jesse. It was making me nuts! And I just went and Google imaged the person in question, and, yeah, that has to be a very, very old picture.

Man, I keep remembering People I didn't get: Stewart and Keanu.
So sad.
But I did get Rice and Oprah.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I felt stupid for not getting Princess Diana, but I also did not know Tony Blair and don't think I've ever seen a picture of him before. I missed one other person, but I forget who.

I don't believe I've ever seen a picture of Tony Blair when he wasn't smiling.
Same could be said of several of the people.

Well, rather than dumping gasoline on my desk and screaming "BURN, BABY, BURN!" I took a deep breath and asked coworkers for input.
Man, sometimes being an adult is no fun.
