BSNYC Friday Fun Quiz!

First of all, I want to thank everyone who's sent in submissions for The Great BSNYC/RTMS Fyxomatosis Photo Parody Contest (presented by the Gourmet Cheese of the Month Club) so far.  The response has been overwhelming (and by "overwhelming" I mean perverse and occasionally nauseating) and I am looking forward to sharing some of them with you next week.

Secondly, in the spirit of reciprocity, I am punishing you with a quiz.  As always, study the item, think, and then click on your answer.  If you're right you'll see either the item or confirmation that you were correct.  If you're wrong, you'll see what we'll all be wearing in the post-Apocalyptic future.

Have a great weekend, and ride safe.  See you Monday.
