and for the life of me couldn't get the spelling of

Spoiler:
Who would think it'd take me about 7 minutes to figure out that I couldn't see that I left my favorite hockey team off the list?

Yikes. 66.

That's a poor showing, even for me on sports.

Khross, Are you some kind of robot? I am as big a sports fan as the next and I certainly know most, if not all, of the teams that I just couldn't think of in the full 12 minutes.

I find it amazing that one can have so much knowledge stored up and immediately accessible in such a vast array of topics. (Except the Simpsons, of course)

EDIT - Is your only weakness truly squirrels?

My avocation (literature, cultural theory, linguistics) refines your memorization and recall skills.

Aww, I'd love to do this quiz, but I can't at work and I'm going to be away for the weekend. I think I'd do well on this one!

Ugh, sports. Not even going to try.

When I was still in college, I was directing the televised showing of a football game for the university's channel. My boss, seeing that I had things well in hand, went out to get dinner. He came back an hour or so later, watched me for a bit, and commented that I was doing a great job. I thanked him, and then asked "So...which team are we?"

That one was fun Oonagh, even though they seemed to make spelling the words the point.

Not something I know almost anything about...

Managed a 9\24 and several of them were educated guesses based on the artwork.

But I really should have gotten
Spoiler:
A Funny Thing Happened and Les Miserables.
None of the others were shows I knew.

14/24

Spoiler:
After I gave up, I looked at a few and went, "huh, never seen that bill, though I know the musical." The Wiz, Wicked, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, and The Man of la Mancha were the offenders, there.

It would have been more challenging if it wasn't 24 of the 25 most popular Broadway Shows of all time ... basically.

With all of the answers in front of me in a separate text file in order so I may enter them without even having to process what the answer may be, only type it in as fast as I can...

24\24 with 4:19 left.

I am convinced that Khross is some kind of robot. Either that or there are cybernetic implants or possibly bionic fingers involved.

EDIT - Second try with same parameters as above - 24\24 with 4:32 remaining. Almost there.

Wait, it took 1 minute 40 seconds to type 24 show names?

Knowing the answers, I clock in at closer to 5:20...

Like most Sporcle quizzes, you just need the right key words to get a title.
