Wherein screw you trivia guy I'm taking a point for last week's answer of life*****************************
The lesson, as always: it's better to do heroin and then stop doing heroin and then lose the Home Run Derby after an impressive first round than it is to not do heroin and then keep not doing heroin and then win the Home Run Derby after a pedestrian first round. Of course, I'm not telling you anything you haven't heard a thousand times already.

1. I'm assuming he means baseball, football, basketball, and hockey, because NASCAR could probably replace hockey and I wonder if MLS is closing in at all. Atlanta & Denver
2. 6 days of the condor. I knew that was the name of the book, but only learned last week that Pollack was the director. Great movie.
3. One of those dinky Caribbean countries. All I'm thinking of is Dutch Antilles. Is that even a country or a collection of islands?
4. Can't think of any Jill Sobule songs and Katy Perry doesn't sound familiar. So I'll guess "I'm chopping my cat in half and fed it to the dogs." That sucked, I typed twelve words and not a single one matched any in the correct answer.
5. Buddhism
6. I've read a number of books about WWII this year, which are no help in trying to answer a question about WWI.
7. I've seen #s 1, 6, 7, 8; though it's been so long since I've seen YSH the memory is unreliable. I'll start my guess with thinking the distinction has something to do with a narrator leading me to go with "How I Met Your Mother." After thinking on it a bit and realizing it doesn't specify current TV show -- ACS, ARRTI, and TKAM are all adult narrators retelling stories of their childhood. This would be more "The Wonder Years" than "HIMYM."
Not bad, looks like four, possibly five depending on #3.
