Poetry Gone to the Dogs - a Contest

Been a while since we played a game.  So for a bit of diversion, here's a quiz to see if you can tell a line from Alan Ginsberg's "Howl" from the name of championship show dogs.  E.g.

"I'm with you in Rockland" : Howl
"Casablanca’s Thrilling Seduction" : Best in Breed.

Waddaya say?  STEMs vs Humanities to make it interesting?

I got 24/30 (stem)

It's on.

    27/30 (humanities). Teaching English and watching dog shows have finally come together to serve me well.

    I must not know my poetry... I incorrectly identified 12 lines, but I tried really hard, so I think I earned 28/30.
