My editor told me I couldn't do Jean-Q columns in The Onion anymore (the meanie!!), but nothing prevents me from doing a super-duper all-Teasdale trivia page on my own site!!! You Jeanketeers out there may think you know me, but do you really? Put your Jean acumen to the test, then scroll down to read the answers! I'll be occasionally updating this page with new questions. (And remember—folks who peek at the old columns or the answers first only cheat themselves in the end.)
