The rules are simple. After correctly answering a question about the poster, ask one about yourself. Multiple choice answers seem to work best, but are not mandatory.
Seeing I got the last question correct on the old thread, I'll start off this thread.
How many roommates have I had in my current apartment?
a) 1 b) 2 c) 3 d) 4 e) 5 f) 6 g) 7 h) none
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
d) 4
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Nope, that is an incorrect answer.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
a) 1 (not counting me, Miner and Loser, natch)
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Nope, that is not the correct answer.
Plus I define "roommate" as one who shares in the rent of the apartment. You, Miner, & Loser were houseguests,
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
I do, too. Just kidding around, bud.
b) 2
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Nope, that is not the correct answer
Posted by Lad Boy on :
c) 3 e) 5 f) 6 g) 7 h) none
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Nope, that is not the correct answer.
Actually Kent knew that as he met my current roommate.
Posted by Caliente on :
c) 3
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Nope, that is not the correct answer
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
Lucky number 7?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Nope, that is not the correct answer
Posted by CJ Taylor on :
e) 5
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Nope, that is not the correct answer.
Seeing as there is just one answer left, the next person should be correct and does not need to wait for confirmation.

Although I have bought everything on that list from eBay, my most recent purchase was indeed Superboy #200. You're up, Lad Boy

*Ba-Dump*
Posted by Lad Boy on :
In the past week I have been in all but one of the following states:
Since I will be away from Legion World for a bit, I'm going to send the correct answer to Rockhopper, so he can inform the lucky guesser.
See y'all soon.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Mississippi
Posted by Lance's realm on :
Florida?
Posted by Caliente on :
Tennessee!
My sister lives there. ^_^ She might be bitchy but her kids are quite lovely.
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
Per Lad Boy, the correct answer is Mississippi. Congratulations, Quis!
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
OK.
In July, I'll be traveling by train to the San Diego comic con. Which of the following states that I'll be passing through have I not been to before?
1) Pennsylvania 2) Indiana 3) Illinois 4) New Mexico 5) Arizona 6) California
Posted by Caliente on :
New Mexico?
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
Indiana?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Darn, usually it is the last answer on my questions.
Your question Caliente
Posted by Caliente on :
Funny, when I went against my instincts, I finally got a right answer. Anyway. Onto my question! Location-related 'cause we seem to like those here.
All right, so, as some of you may know, I've become gainfully employed this quarter. Where is my fun jobbage located?
i) Ventura ii) downtown Santa Barbara iii) the Mesa iv) downtown Goleta v) Isla Vista vi) Main Campus vii) West Campus viii) East Campus ix) Job? What job? I don't have no stinkin' job!
Posted by Lance's realm on :
iii) the Mesa?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
ii) downtown Santa Barbara
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
viii) East Campus?
Posted by Caliente on :
Sorry boys, those aren't it. Actually, I made up East Campus. I thought it sounded funky.
Posted by Lance's realm on :
v) Isla Vista?
Posted by Caliente on :
Nope. Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
iv) downtown Goleta
Posted by Caliente on :
Sorry but no.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
i) Ventura?
Posted by Caliente on :
Nope, sorry. That's a little out of my way for a commute.
So here's what's left to choose from... vi) Main Campus vii) West Campus ix) Job? What job? I don't have no stinkin' job!
Posted by Lance's realm on :
West Campus?
Posted by Caliente on :
Indeed, that would be correct!
West Campus, which is on the other side of Isla Vista (which is in Goleta which is the city next to Santa Barbara, with the Mesa in between, Ventura being the next big city) from Main Campus, is where my new job is. I like it 'cause Main Campus and West Campus are equadistant from my house.
You're turn Lance!

OK, here we go...
What computer game is my 5-yr-old boy (PJ) currently obsessed with?
1) Blues Clues Treasure Hunt 2) Dune 2000 3) Clifford's Big Red Game 4) Dora's Pyramid Adventure 5) Lionel Trains 6) Dino Island 7) Tarzan's Activity Center 8) Thomas the Tank Engine - Trouble on the Tracks
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
8) Thomas the Tank Engine - Trouble on the Tracks
Posted by Lance's realm on :
Nope - although I did think he was going to overdose on it last year...
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
oh if the correct answer is my first choice, I am going to be mad. Mad, I tell you, stark raving mad.
Posted by Caliente on :
1) Blues Clues Treasure Hunt
Posted by Kid Prime on :
Gotta be Dora's Pyramid Adventure!
Posted by Lance's realm on :
None of the above, although those are both fun...
Posted by CJ Taylor on :
Gotta be Dino Island.
I'm telling you, once you get stuck on the second screen, you give up eating and sleeping.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
OK so it wasn't my first choice either (Dora's)
5) Lionel Trains?
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
2) Dune 2000?
Posted by Caliente on :
3) Clifford's Big Red Game?
(He was one of my favorites back in the day.)
Posted by Lance's realm on :
PJ does love the Lionel trains game, which is great. He also likes Dora and Clifford. Dino Island, however, is a game he is COMPLETELY obsessed with. I have to play a lot of it, because he doesn't want to complete the missions, he just wants to make more dinos. This is a pretty fun game.
Anyway, take it, CJ!
Posted by CJ Taylor on :
PJ is bound for greatness.
As for me, I'm not a good cook. I've made a lot of mistakes. Which one of the following haven't I done? (Heck, one of them I've made a number of times.)
1) made spaghetti sauce with frozen ground beef 2) boiled an egg out of existence 3) burnt instant pudding 4) made a cinnamon role capable of eating through plastic 5) took 5 tries to make a grilled cheese sandwich 6) used cinnamon sticks to make lemon pepper chicken 7) made lasagna using cheese slices 8) burnt popcorn 9) I'm really bad, I made them all!
Posted by Kid Prime on :
I'm gonna say #2 cause I'm not sure that's actually possible. Posted by Lad Boy on :
9) I'm really bad, I made them all!
Posted by Lance's realm on :
4) made a cinnamon roll capable of eating through plastic
Posted by Bevis on :
8) Burnt popcorn just because if you're doing it in a pan (rather in those bizarre tin foil things that I have only ever seen in films and never in real life) it's pretty easy to do especially if you're putting on a home made toffee sauce.
Sorry, and I rambling a bit? Posted by CJ Taylor on :

I was in charge of the Easter eggs one year, Kippers. 24 went into the boiling water, 23 came out.

Nope. There is one culinary screw up listed I didn't do.

Hehe I've used those tinfoil things often as a kid and never burnt popcorn. However, I've burnt it using those microwave bags. And that leaves a stench let me tell ya.
Posted by CJ Taylor on :
Ugh, I'm as good at cooking as I am with computers...
quote:Originally posted by Lance's realm: 4) made a cinnamon roll capable of eating through plastic
Sorry Lance. I tried making one from scratch. It didn't go well, and I threw it out. The next morning, there was a hole in the garbage can.
Posted by Caliente on :
3) burnt instant pudding
Posted by CJ Taylor on :
No, Cali. That was my first attempt at cooking.
Posted by Tamper Lad on :
6) Cinnamon sticks for Lemon Pepper Chicken. Though I'll add if you were one of those fancy chefs you could make this concoction and be celebrated as a genius.
Posted by Lance's realm on :
7) made lasagna using cheese slices?
Posted by CJ Taylor on :
I love lasagna, there's no way I'd desecrate it like that.
Lance has it.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
5) took 5 tries to make a grilled cheese sandwich
Posted by CJ Taylor on :
sorry Quis. Lance is right. I've never made lasagna with cheese slices.
His turn to query us all.
Posted by Lance's realm on :
OK, here we go....which issue of Showcase am I really hoping I get for my birthday?
1) Teen Titans 2) Superman Family 3) Metamorpho 4) Jonah Hex 5) House of Mystery 6) Green Lantern 7) Justice League
Posted by Caliente on :
6. Green Lantern
Posted by Lance's realm on :
Nope..I do want that one..but there is one I want more...
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
3) Metamorpho
Posted by Lance's realm on :
Nope..I have that one already...
Posted by CJ Taylor on :
1) Teen Titans
Posted by Lance's realm on :
That's it! I don't have the Teen Titans Showcase, but really want it.
You're up, CJ!
Posted by CJ Taylor on :
Sorry for the disappearance gang. Here's a quick one to get everything going again.
How old was I when I first read a comic book?
1) 5 2) 10 3) 15 4) 20 5) 25
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Wow, I'm pleased that this game's still going on
2) 10?
(Thanks, Kent and Quis, for locking the old thread and starting this one )

4) 20?
Posted by Caliente on :
1) 5!!
Posted by Ghost of Numf El on :
Guess that leaves me 25?
Posted by CJ Taylor on :
I was 20, about the time they broke Batman's back.
Lance has it again.
Posted by Lance's realm on :
OK...hmm...let's do things a bit differently, just for fun. I have recently taken it upon myself to read my entire comic book collection. I am going in alphabetical order, so tell me...
What are the first 3 titles I read? (hint: they all start with the letter 'A')
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Aardwolf Action Comics Adam Strange
Posted by Lance's realm on :
Kent, one of those is correct...and is in the correct place as well. I don't possess any of the other 2 titles...
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
Okay...since you're here I'm guessing the Action Comics is the correct one. So for third place I'm going for Adventure Comics or Animal Man.
I have no idea what could come before Action Comics though.
Any more clues?
Posted by Lance's realm on :
Sure...Adventure Comics is the 4th title in my collection. And yes, Action comics was the correct one.
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
So, basically, I didn't get any of them, as it's only the first three you want.
Ooooh! This is a good one.
Posted by CJ Taylor on :
Um... I think I read his reply differently, WWC.
Damn, before ADV?
A-Next Abadazzad (sp) Action
Posted by Lance's realm on :
OK, in alphabetical order my collection starts:
1) Abadazad 2) Action Comic 3) ???
I'll give the next question to whoever comes up with the third title. It comes after Action, but before Adventure. I'll post a hint tonight or tomorrow if no one gets it.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
1)Abadazad 2)Action Comics 3)Adam Warlock
Posted by Lance's realm on :
Nope...although the first 2 letters are correct...
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Last Guess
1) Abadazad 2) Action Comics 3) Action Comics Weekly
Posted by Lance's realm on :
Nah...I'm not sure if I have any of those, but if I do, they are still considered Action Comics.
vague hint: it is a DC title, though.
Posted by Lance's realm on :
OK, big hint...think TSR.
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
Advanced Dungeons And Dragons?
Posted by Lance's realm on :
That's it wwc! The next question is yours...
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
Okay, if you've been reading my posts, then this should be an easy one.
What is my favorite soft drink.
If you need a clue, go to Welcome walkwithcrowds, I've mentioned it in almost every post.
And if it's your first time there be sure to sign the visitors book. (God I'm becoming obsessed with that thing)
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
P.S. I'm off to work now, to do a ten hour shift so I wont be able to answer for a while. I'll check in when I get back.
Posted by High Priestess Viviane on :
Irn Bru
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Viviane, I double checked where WWC said the answer was, and you are correct, so ask the next question.
WWC, a ten hour shift is a long time in the real world, but not so here. Unless you are not going to be here for a couple of days (weekends don't usually count as some only post from work), then we can be patient waiting for a response from you.
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
You are both, of course, correct. Irn Bru it is. I don't know if this is true but, I've been told, that Scotland is the only country in the world that Coca Cola Isn't the best selling soft drink - it's Irn Bru. I feel a little glow of patroitic pride knowing that.
For those of you who have never even heard of Irn Bru, let alone tasted it, this is the Company Web Site. (Kindly supplied by Numf El)

Posted by High Priestess Viviane on :
Let's see, how about a simple question:
What are my favorite colors?
A: Red and Green (Christmas!) B: Blue and Lavender (Colors of the Libra) C: Pink and Green (Jem and Pizzazz) D: Orange and Yellow (Bright and Shiny) E: White and Purple (silly girl, white isn't a "color") F: Black and Dark Red G: Silver and Light Blue

B: Blue and Lavender (Colors of the Libra)?

nay

E: White and Purple (silly girl, white isn't a "color")
Posted by Lance's realm on :
G: Silver and Light Blue
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
A. Red and Green?
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
Is it a trick question?
Are your favorite's the colour of pain and suffering?
Is it H: Spleen pink and intestinal purple?
Posted by High Priestess Viviane on :
quote:Originally posted by Caliente: E: White and Purple (silly girl, white isn't a "color")
YAY!!!
Cali got it!
I chose white because I couldn't pick a favorite color and you can put anything on white and it's nice and airy.
Lavender is technically a shade of purple so I could see how you may have thought that!
Your turn, Cali!
Posted by Caliente on :
Yaaay!! I win. (Finally! )
So, I went to buy lunch today but the restaraunt was closed. What did I want to eat and what did I end up getting?
a) chicken burger b) sandwich c) burrito d) nachos e) tacos f) salad g) sushi h) noodles (Chinese) i) pasta (Italian) j) ice cream
Posted by High Priestess Viviane on :
g) Sushi
Sushi places always close for a long lunch break here, so I guess that one
Posted by Lance's realm on :
Wanted a taco, got a salad?
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
Wanted a sandwich and got ice cream?
Posted by Caliente on :
What I wanted has been guessed correctly by one person but not what I actually ended up getting.
Here's a quote of the question and options 'cause we moved pages.

got nachos?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Wanted Sushi but got a salad.
Posted by High Priestess Viviane on :
You had to get tacos, the poor man's sushi!
Posted by Caliente on :
Nachos it is!! There's a Mexican place across from the sushi place, so I figured-- why not?
You're up Lance!!
Posted by CJ Taylor on :
Thanks, now I've got a nachos jones goin'.

OK, here we go....
Occasionally I have a board game day at my house. What game do I always insist we play first?
1) Pirate's Cove 2) Settlers of Catan 3) Risk 4) Scotland Yard 5) Fluxx 6) Talisman 7) Heroquest 8) Family Business 9) Ticket to Ride 10) Board games? I don't play no stinking board games!
Posted by Caliente on :
3) Risk (Since I've actally heard of it...)
Posted by Tamper Lad on :
2) I'm a big Settlers of Catan fan.
Though, at the last Poker night, someone suggested that next time we play high stakes Risk instead.
Posted by Lance's realm on :
Nope. I love playing Risk, but we have never played it at board game day.
I like the Settlers games ok, but it certainly is nothing I would insist on.
Keep trying...
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Scotland Yard.
Hmm a black card. Did he use the river route or is he trying to trick us?
Posted by Lance's realm on :
I love Scotland Yard! But that isn't the mandatory game...
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
Pirates Cove?
Though I bet it's not as good as Pop Up Pirate
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
5) Fluxx! Easy to play, quick and fun; I can easily imagine this as a nice starter before other games.
Posted by Lance's realm on :
Nope...I do like Pirate's Cove though...and Fluxx is a great game to play when not sober...keep trying....
Posted by Caliente on :
6) Talisman?
Posted by ActorLad on :
7) Heroquest ?
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
We're running out of choices so I'll go for
9) Ticket to Ride?
Posted by Lance's realm on :
Caliente, it is indeed Talisman. I used to play this years ago, and I make sure we still get in a game whenever we get together. If anyone lives near the Cincinnati area, I'll send you an invite to our next session.
Take it, Caliente!
Posted by Caliente on :
All right, so let's try a different question! What did I wear to my paying job & internship yesterday.
a) A jean skirt with a nice-ish shirt b) Capris and a t-shirt c) Gauchos* and a nice shirt d) Jeans and long-sleeved shirt e) Khaki pants and a sweatshirt f) Pinstripe pants and a collared shirt g) Overalls with a tank top h) Nothing but a bathing suit-- it's California, after all. i) Nothing at all!! I'm like that guy at Berkley!!
*in case you don't know-- Gauchos are like baggy, nice-ish capris

And now you've explained what a Gaucho is, whats a capri? I thought it was a car!
Posted by Caliente on :
No to the skirt, I'm afraid. I had to ride my bike and, well, that just wasn't going to fly. I'm not skilled enough for that.
A capri is like pants that cut off between the knee and shin.
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
i)nothing at all! Pleeeeaaase say it was nothing at all!
...I don't get out much...
Posted by Lance's realm on :
d) Jeans and long-sleeved shirt

You got it Lance!! It was cold and I work with kids, so I have to wear stuff that can get messed up. You're up, yet again~ Posted by Lance's realm on :
Was kinda hoping walkwithcrowds was right..oh well...
OK, here we go...
There are a few cartoons I like, but there is only one that I am a little ashamed to watch, so I watch it only when my wife is not around. Which cartoon is it?
1) Spiderman 2) Kim Possible 3) Grim Adventures of Bill and Mandy 4) Kong 5) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 6) Sonic X 7) Camp Lazlo 8) Totally Spies 9) Cartoons? What are they?
Posted by ActorLad on :
Hmmm Totally Spies?
Posted by Caliente on :
Hah! Funny man, Lance.
2) Kim Possible
Posted by dedman on :
5) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
6) Sonic X

ActorLad got it right off the bat - I really like Totally Spies, but it is such a girly show I only watch it when no one else is around.
Take it, ActorLad!
Posted by ActorLad on :
I've thought about entering that Wizard Annual Halloween Costume contest a few times, what costume did I practically have all the parts for but didn't make?
1. A Jawa 2. George Lucas 3. Nate Grey 4. Sauron 5. Devil Dinosaur 6. A VR Trooper 7. Me wear a costume? I hate Halloween.
Posted by dedman on :
6. A VR Trooper
Posted by Caliente on :
3. Nate Grey
Posted by ActorLad on :
Yeah, it's Nate Grey because I was a big fan of the AOA.
Explanations for the other answers:
I actually have been a Jawa and George Lucas (one time when I was still working at Blockbuster) for Halloween. I haven't been Sauron or Devil Dinosaur but I was a Pteradon one year (like my only every straight bought costume) which backfired because morons thought I was a chicken and another year I was a Baby T-Rex hatching out of an egg. I've never been a VR Trooper but I did meet and get an autograph from Brad Hawkins who played one main one at a Pumpkin Patch once.
Posted by Caliente on :
Oh yeah, I got this one-- I know my man!
Anyway, I recently finished reading, for the first time, a not-too-recently cancelled Marvel series. What was it?
Alphabetically, for a change: a) Agent X b) Emma Frost c) Excalibur v3 d) Mystique e) Sentinel v1 (& the v2 LS to boot!) f) Soldier X g) Ultimate Marvel Team-Up h) What if? v2 i) I tell lies! No recently finished Marvel series for me.
[ May 15, 2006, 09:01 PM: Message edited by: Caliente ]
Posted by Joe-Boy Harvestar on :
Excalibur?
Posted by ActorLad on :
Hmm, that's a tough one. I know your not a fan of CC so it's probably not Excalibur Vol 3. I would say Sentinel because "Chicks Dig Giant Robots". I'll have to say Mystique because she's blue and I like blue. Posted by Caliente on :
I've read Excalibur, but I read it pre-cancellation. I don't like Claremont, but I got 'em for free so...
And I read the first Sentinel series before the LS came out and the LS as it came out.
Sorry boys, neither is my most recent.
[ May 15, 2006, 09:40 PM: Message edited by: Caliente ]
Posted by ActorLad on :
Er, Cali I guess I should of been more clear my final guess was Mystique.
Posted by Caliente on :
Well, it wasn't that one either! My bad, I was rushed. (That's my excuse and I'm sticking with it!!)
I'm still trying to finish that series-- the art's lovely and writing beautiful but... motivation is lacking.
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
Emma Frost?
Posted by Lance's realm on :
g) Ultimate Marvel Team-Up?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
f) Soldier X is my guess.
Posted by Lad Boy on :
h) What if? v2
Posted by Caliente on :
Nope, finished Emma Frost while it was being published. Still can't force myself to read a couple of the issues of Ultimate Marvel Team-Up... the scarring. Tried for Soldier X but never could get into it. And I've still got soooo many What If?s to read... I'm not even close to done!!
So, that leaves... a) Agent X i) I tell lies! No recently finished Marvel series for me.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Agent X
Posted by Caliente on :
That's the one!
I read up thru #11 a while back but it got soooo bad that I just couldn't continue. Luckily, I fount out Gail came back for the final three issues, so I sucked it up through #12 and finished it off with Deadpool Walkin'.
I have to say, Gail did a really good job developing the characters and just sort of making the book fun. She really does great with unorthodox team books.
Anyway, you're up Quis!! Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
OK what book am I currently reading?
1) Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave: Written by Himself
2) The Man She'll Marry -- by Ann Roth Harlequin American Romance
3) Male-male Intimacy in Early America: Beyond Romantic Friendships -- by William Benemann
4) Cell: A Novel -- by Stephen King
5) Common Sense, The Rights of Man and Other Essential Writings -- by Thomas Paine
6) In Cold Blood -- by Truman Capote
7) Don't Think of an Elephant: Know Your Values and Frame the Debate--The Essential Guide for Progressives -- by George Lakoff
8) The Da Vinci Code -- by Dan Brown
9) Some Reasons Why I Am a Freethinker -- by Robert Ingersoll
10) I only read comic books.
Posted by ActorLad on :
The Da Vinci Code, practically everyone is.
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
6) In Cold Blood -- by Truman Capote?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Nope and nope.
I actually have no desire to read the DaVinci Code. I did read In Cold Blood, but I finished it 4 days ago. In Cold Blood is an excellant book by the way.

OK, I read Common Sense about a month ago. I have Some Reasons Why I am a Freethinker on order. I've never read a Stephen King book and don't have any plans to. Not much of a horror buff.
But WWC guessed the right one. 7) Don't Think of an Elephant: Know Your Values and Frame the Debate--The Essential Guide for Progressives -- by George Lakoff. It is pretty good but also scary.
So WWC, what will we find out about you? Your question.

What is my all time favourite comic?:
1) The Legion of Superheroes 2) Swamp thing 3) The Flash 4) The New Mutants 5) Groo The Wanderer 6) Hellblazer 7) The Question 8) Doctor Strange
These are ALL favourites of mine but which is my "FAVOURITE, favourite"?

6) Hellblazer?
Posted by dedman on :
7) The Question
Posted by CJ Taylor on :
3) The Flash
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
CJ got it guys.
Like I said they are all favourites but the Flash is my all time number one. I'm really looking forward to the new series.
Take it CJ, the next question is all yours.
Posted by CJ Taylor on :
Okay, so I'm a bit of a philospohy nut. I'm more into the Ethics than the Ontological arguements. Which philosopher do I most adhere to?

And Caliente has it.
The meaning of justice, the nature of friendship, and how a man can truly be good. And, he believed in a ruling class. Posted by Caliente on :

Posted by Caliente on :
Dude, Lance! How do you always know?!
You're up, bud.
Posted by Lance's realm on :
I'm spying on you, Cal. At least, ever since I thought you might be going to work naked. It isn't easy either - spying on someone who lives 2000 miles away is tough...
Anyway, here we go...
I recently decided to read through my whole comic book collection from A to Z. The main purpose was to rediscover some treasures that it would never occur to me to reread. However, this is not the first time I have done this. I tried to read my whole collection about 15 years ago - but I gave up because there was a specific title that was so abominably boring I could not get through it. Which title was it?
Make a guess, and I will tell whether the title in question come alphabetically before or after your guess.
(By the way, I think I am going to skip that title this time.)
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
I'll guess Lois Lane, Superman's Girlfriend.
Posted by Lance's realm on :
Nope..I really like the old Lois Lane stories, actually. The title in question was much, much earlier in the alphabet.
Posted by Caliente on :
Defenders
Posted by dedman on :
I hope its not Atari Force!!!
Posted by Lance's realm on :
I don't have any Atari Force..but if I did, it would alphabetically be before that...
Posted by Caliente on :
Ant-Man
Posted by dedman on :
*gasp* not Alpha Flight?!?!?!?!?
Posted by Lance's realm on :
It would be after Alpha Flight. Was there ever a comic titled Ant-Man?
So...between Alpha Flight and Atari Force...
Posted by Caliente on :
You're probably right-- I just remembered seeing the Essential Ant-Man TPB a while back and made a leap of faith.
Aquaman, maybe?
Posted by Lance's realm on :
nope..now between Alpha Flight and Aquaman...
(I'm not really spying on you...just an idle daydream...)
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
Animal Man?
Posted by Lance's realm on :
After Animal Man, before Aquaman.
The title in question was a DC title.
Posted by Lance's realm on :
I'm sorry - I seem to have forgotten my alphabet. The title in question came after Aquaman, but before Atari Force. The first 2 letter are AR.
Posted by Lad Boy on :
Arak -- Son of Thunder
Posted by Lance's realm on :
Nope...the first letters are ARI.
Posted by ActorLad on :
Arion?
Posted by Lance's realm on :
That't it, ActorLad. Arion, Bored of Atlantis was just too snoozeworthy for me to get through. Your question, sir...
Posted by ActorLad on :
Some of you may know I play trumpet, what kind of bands have I been in?
A. Concert B. Jazz C. Marching D. All of the above. E. None of the above, I'm a solo act.
Posted by Caliente on :
D. All of the above!
Posted by ActorLad on :
Yup, you know me so well my fair lady. It's your turn.
Posted by Caliente on :
Dude! That's just scary!!
Let's see here... something different... ooh! What's the first comic book I ever owned?
A couple of hints right off the bat: --) It was printed in the '90s. --) It was the first issue of a mini-series.
More to come as the guesses flow in! Posted by dedman on :
Wildcats #1
Posted by Caliente on :
Nope! Was significantly earlier in the alphabet than that one.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Man of Steel #1?
Posted by Caliente on :
Earlier than that! Also, it wasn't from that comic company.
Posted by dedman on :
Cyberforce #1
Posted by CJ Taylor on :
Yougblood #1.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Secret Wars #1
Posted by Caliente on :
It's between Cyberforce and Secret Wars, alphabetically.
Also, another hint-- it's a specific Marvel character's first self-titled "solo adventure" outside their team. One more: This character was an X-Man at the time of the mini-series.

My 3 Sons?

Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In

From the coonskin cap on the top of ol' Dan To the heel of his rawhide shoe; The rippin'est, roarin'est, fightin'est man The frontier ever knew!
Daniel Boone was a man, Yes, a big man! And he fought for America To make all Americans free!
What a Boone! What a doer! What a dream come-er-true-er was he!
Daniel Boone was a man! Yes, a big man! With a whoop and a holler he c'd mow down a forest of trees!
Daniel Boone was a man! Yes, a big man! If he frowned at a river In July all the water would freeze!
But a peaceable, pioneer fella was Dan When he smiled all the ice would thaw! The singin'est, laughin'est, happiest man The frontier ever saw!
Daniel Boone was a man! Yes, a big man! With a dream of a country that'd Always forever be free!
What a Boone! What a do-er! What a dream-come-er-true-er was he!

Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
In Scotland we have our own version of fast food stores, it's called "the chippy".
It's called that because it sells chips (or, for you Americans, french fries) and an assortment of foods that have been coated in batter and then deep fried in fat.
You can either have the "food" alone - a single, or served with chips - a supper. For example, a single fish or a fish supper.
If your arteries aren't clogging up at the mere thought of this, I'll ask my question:
What is my favourite thing from the chippy?
1) Fish and chips 2) Haggis supper 3) Deep fried Pizza 4) Sausage Supper 5) Deep fried Mars bar (you can actually buy this!!) 6) Black Pudding Supper
Black Pudding is made by mixing oats and barley in with boiled blood and spices...sounds disgusting but tastes great.
And I wonder why us Scots have a reputation for being unhealthy.

This has ALWAYS been my favourite. In fact one of my earliest memories is of Doctor Who. For the fan boys amongst you it is the ending of episode one of the 1973 serial The Time Warrior, when Linx takes his helmet off and we see his face for the first time.
I can remember watching this and thinking it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen - okay, I was three and hadn't seen a hell of a lot, but it's stayed with me ever since.
Okay Dedman, your go.

I've just picked Doctor Who so it would be sneaky to have the same answer twice.
You're not sneaky are you Deddy?
Are ya?
Huh?
Posted by Bevis on :
8. The Black Hole (just a random guess because I've never seen it. It probably is a double bluff though and Dr Who is the right answer).

Nope, neither of those. Brave New World is on my 'to be read' list because, shamefully, I have never read it. To Kill A Mockingbird I haven't read for *years* but for some reason I feel like reading it again, but I'm not right at the moment.
Posted by ActorLad on :
4) The Collected Short Stories of Saki
Posted by Bevis on :
Bing bing, we have a winner. I never tire of reading Saki and I was enthusing about him the other day to someone so i decided to read them again. They just get better each time. If you've never read any Saki then I cant recommend him higly enough. Saki, as is probably fairly obvious, is his assumed name (although he'd probably be listed under that in bookshops) and his real name was Hugo Hector Munro. Sort of like Chekov crossed with Oscar Wilde only much, much better than that description makes him sound. See if you can find on-line 'The Reticence Of Lady Anne', 'Tobermory' or 'The Unrest Cure' and tell me you don't want to read more.

I recently started reading my whole comic book collection in alphabetical order. I am currently reading Alpha Flight, and will soon get to Amazing Spiderman. Between those, however, are 2 titles. They are both "funny animal" comics from the early '70s that I have not read since I was a kid. The first person to name either of them gets the next question.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
It can't be Andy Panda or Atom Ant because those would come after Amazing Spiderman. Ditto Angel & the Ape (although I don't know if that would be classified as a funny animal comic) "Albert" from Pogo fame would come before Alpha Flight. I am tempted to go looking for funny animal titles in order to take a guess. I hope that at least one of the titles will make me go "oh yeah!"
Posted by Lance's realm on :
Well, ok, I'm an idiot. One of the titles I was looking for was indeed Andy Panda - I am not sure why it is filed before Amazing Spiderman. The other, FYI, is Alvin and the Chipmunks. Go ahead and take it, while I work on learning the alphabet...
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Both would have been "oh yeah" answers. It maybe just me but I see those as more TV tie-in rather than funny animal.
Anyhow, my next question is this. When I was about 28, my niece (about age 5) asked how old I was. Instead of answering her, I asked her "how old do you think I am?" What was her answer? (I will let you know if her answer is higher or lower than yours)
Posted by Lance's realm on :
50?
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
40?
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
25!
Posted by Bevis on :
12
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Her answer was higher than 50.
And I don't think it will hurt now to say that I then asked her how old she thought my brother (her father and 7 years older than me) was. For him, she said 19.
Posted by Bevis on :
He he he. Asking children how old they think you are is never a good idea.
Older than 50 eh?
100
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
! I was going to guess that!

Oh and Bevis, I was really mean and told her that her answer was correct.

4) Oddcases: The Nasty Little Man?
Posted by dedman on :
1) Oddcases: The Cursed Banana
Posted by Bevis on :
Cali has it. Monkey features, obviously when you know, Monkey of Chinese Bhuddist myth (as in Monkey Magic) and three bad ass demony types and lots of killing. Much fun, but very, very long.
All the others are real Oddcases stories as well. Haunted Drag Bar was the first story we did, Nasty Little Man and Cut both link into Monkey in one way or another. Bean Sidhe was the last story we did. The Listeners and Love are two that have been written and are waiting drawing but will probably happen after Monkey. The Cursed Banana is the story that will immediately follow Monkey (in terms of the comic continuity. Listeners and Love take place before Monkey) and Roadrunner is one that has been mooted but may or may not happen, depending on whether we can get it to work properly.
So you're up next Cali.

I own about a half-dozen pages of original comic book artwork. Which two of the following do I NOT own?
1. The Ra's Al Ghul "Who's Who" v.1 page 2. A full-page Bill Willingham of Batman and the Outsiders 3. A Matt Wagner page from Mage v.1 4. A George Perez cover from the early issues of his Wonder Woman run 5. A Guy Davis Sandman Mystery Theater page 6. A Colleen Doran page from A Distant Soil #17 7. A Richard Piers Raynor (if I remember his name right) page from Hellblazer #12 8. A Willingham Outsiders full-page page of Maxie Zeus and his Olympian-themed villain team.
Extra credit: of those I own, one is larger than average page size. Guess which one!

4. A George Perez cover from the early issues of his Wonder Woman run
Posted by Caliente on :
2. A full-page Bill Willingham of Batman and the Outsiders
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
3. A Matt Wagner page from Mage v.1 and 5. A Guy Davis Sandman Mystery Theater page
of the two I'll say the Guy Davis page is the over-sized one
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Quis is totally wrong. one correct answer so far.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
2. A full-page Bill Willingham of Batman and the Outsiders &
3. A Matt Wagner page from Mage v.1
Oh and the oversize one you do own is: 8. A Willingham Outsiders full-page page of Maxie Zeus and his Olympian-themed villain team.
Posted by Caliente on :
2. A full-page Bill Willingham of Batman and the Outsiders
and
8. A Willingham Outsiders full-page page of Maxie Zeus and his Olympian-themed villain team.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Nope. I got both Willingham pages at once, bought off of inker Bill Anderson, if memory serves.
Ditto I bought the Wagner page from inker Sam Keith @ San Diego '86, way before he was a 'name' (Sandman and The Maxx).
This should make it obvious which the the correct answer thus far.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Half of the correct answer: 4. A George Perez cover from the early issues of his Wonder Woman run
and 6. A Colleen Doran page from A Distant Soil #17
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
4. A George Perez cover from the early issues of his Wonder Woman run and 1. The Ra's Al Ghul "Who's Who" v.1 page ?
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
And I'd guess the oversized one is #2?
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
The oversized is the Hellblazer page.
The Ra's Al Ghul page is partly on tracing paper (for the background monocolor illustration.

5) Turkey, Greece, Egypt
Posted by dedman on :
1) Canada, Mexico, England

I'll guess 6) Bolivia, Paraguay, Brazil, partly because of what's already been taken in guesses and partly because Tasmania is not a country, and East Germany hasn't been a country for a while.

no correct guesses so far...

All you have to do is get on I-65 go north to Indiana or south to Tennessee

I was born in the blue grass state and live there currently and proubly will till the day I die. Though I did live in Illinois for 12 years and Indiana for about 3 years.

Lone Wolf, my wife was born in Columbus, Ohio, and bleeds red and grey. I used to tell her that Indiana was God's country, and she politely told me only Hoosiers are dumb enough to think Indiana is a country. Women...
Anyway, Caliente is correct. I was in East Germany a long time ago. I was actually fortunate enough to spend a day in East Berlin - the food was terrible in both Berlins, actually. Take it, Cal!

That is funny I live about 15 minutes from there how old is your boy I have a 20 month old lad myself.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
I spent a week and a half in East Berlin in 1991, staying with relatives. It was a fascinating era of transition; post-DDR but a vert uncertain time. Food was better by then.

I seem to be subverting the thread with other things but - my boy is 5 - I have a girl who will be 2 in August though. Anything else down there a 5-yr-old boy would be interested in?

If our guess is confirmed wrong, are we allowed to guess again?

I believe so, Xben, but Quislet, Esq. is probably the man to ask.
Anyway, Deddy's got it. I might have to deal with a lot but dirty diapers are not one of those things!! And I'm much happier that way.

I believe so, Xben, but Quislet, Esq. is probably the man to ask.
Well this is my personal opinion and not really an official rule. I generally don't guess again until after someone else takes a guess (either before or after my guess is confirmed wrong). An exception would be if it has been a couple of days since the last answer. (if the couple of days is because we are waiting for confirmation, then I PM the questioner rather than take another guess)
The way I look at it is that I don't want to hog the game. Let others take guesses too.
Posted by Xben on :
OK, I'm excited to be asking a question on this game. I'm going away tomorrow afternoon for an extended period of time, so I was worried I wouldn't have this opportunity. (Don't worry, I'll be sure to confirm the answer before I go!)
OK, I've done a lot of things in my life that would qualify me for "geek" status. I also enjoy writing creatively and have been making movies since I was a kid. That said, which three of the following things have I never done?
1. Made a list of 100 comics I'd like to read on a regular basis (some that exist and some that don't), and ascribed desired writers with each title.
2. Written and recorded (in part) my own audio version of The Hitchhiker's Guid to the Galaxy.
3. Filmed my own series of silent superhero movies as a child
4. Produced my own series of superhero "photo movies" (a photo story with accompanying audio track, the kind that beeps when you are supposed to turn the page) as an adult.
5. Recorded my own "audio commentaries" for each of the season finales of Blake's 7 ("Orac", "Star One", "Terminal", and "Blake"
6. Counted and tallied every character's word balloons in the 5 Years Later version of the Legion of Super-Heroes
7. Written a "How to Host a Murder Mystery" game featuring a superhero
8. Waited outside a theatre for Simon Jones' autograph (the guy who played Arthur Dent in the The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)
9. Left in the middle of Thanksgiving Dinner to take a bus to a Doctor Who convention
10. Filled up the entire "Official Marvel Try Out Book" with my atrocious art
11. Dressed up as the Time Trapper for Halloween
12. I've done none of these things!
13. I've done all of these things!
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
My guesses for the 3 things you haven't do are:
4. Produced my own series of superhero "photo movies" (a photo story with accompanying audio track, the kind that beeps when you are supposed to turn the page) as an adult.
6. Counted and tallied every character's word balloons in the 5 Years Later version of the Legion of Super-Heroes

Posted by Xben on :
No completely correct answers so far. One of you is completely wrong, one of you is partially right. Not saying who is who yet.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
You'll have to be more specific if you want us to get the answer by today. Just how long will your extended absense be for? You aren't going to San Diego are you?
New guess:
4. Produced my own series of superhero "photo movies" (a photo story with accompanying audio track, the kind that beeps when you are supposed to turn the page) as an adult.
6. Counted and tallied every character's word balloons in the 5 Years Later version of the Legion of Super-Heroes
10. Filled up the entire "Official Marvel Try Out Book" with my atrocious art
Posted by Xben on :
OK, all three of the things I've never done have now been guessed, but by different people. That's quite a big clue, if you use your basic logic skills.
So this means the following are eliminated, because nobody guessed them and I have done them... 1. Made a list of 100 comics I'd like to read on a regular basis (some that exist and some that don't), and ascribed desired writers with each title. I imagine that many of us have done something like this, even if it wasn't a formal list. One of my favourites is having Alan Moore write "Jughead"
2. Written and recorded (in part) my own audio version of The Hitchhiker's Guid to the Galaxy. I didn't quite finish recording this, but did make a good effort at it. I actually wrote scripts for the first two and three fourths books!
7. Written a "How to Host a Murder Mystery" game featuring a superhero The superhero was called Captain Valiant. One of the main villains was a jet-pack wielding bad guy named "Skyrider"
8. Waited outside a theatre for Simon Jones' autograph (the guy who played Arthur Dent in the The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) He was in a Broadway play that I saw called "Benefactors", also starring Sam Waterston, Mary Beth Hurt, and Glenn Close. Simon Jones was the least famous of the lot, but the one that I wanted to meet...
And to answer your question, Quis, I won't be in San Diego. I'm off to North Africa for three weeks, and then onto New York for a holiday until early September. That's where I grew up, and where my parents still live. I live in Australia now.
This doesn't mean I'll be off-line all that time, but I probably won't be on as regularly. Incidentally, I'm new to this site but I enjoy the overall positive sense of comraderie and friendliness here that is often missing from the DC Legion Boards. Thanks, guys.

Dedman has it! I was impressed by your first guess, where you got two out of three correct.
Just for your information: 3. Filmed my own series of silent superhero movies as a child There are eight films all together, all done on Super-8 film, starring my friend as Incredible Boy, and me as various villains
4. Produced my own series of superhero "photo movies" (a photo story with accompanying audio track, the kind that beeps when you are supposed to turn the page) as an adult. Two finished, a third in production, a fourth planned, all about "Maintenance Man"
5. Recorded my own "audio commentaries" for each of the season finales of Blake's 7 ("Orac", "Star One", "Terminal", and "Blake" Never did this, although to my credit I did know the names of each of the season finales of Blake's 7!
6. Counted and tallied every character's word balloons in the 5 Years Later version of the Legion of Super-Heroes If I remember properly, Jo Nah had the most "lines"
9. Left in the middle of Thanksgiving Dinner to take a bus to a Doctor Who convention It was 1993, Visions convention in Chicago, to get there on time I had to leave on Thursday night from where we were having Thanksgiving in Virginia. I enjoyed the convention but I'm a bit embarrassed about this one.
10. Filled up the entire "Official Marvel Try Out Book" with my atrocious art My art is atrocious, and I do own that book, but I never tried to draw in it.
11. Dressed up as the Time Trapper for Halloween Never did this. Interesting idea, though. Imagine having to explain it to everyone. "No, I'm not death, I'm the Time Trapper..."

Which two of the following Shakespeare plays have I never read? Take a chance, only 28 possible combinations.
1. Cymbeline 2. A Midsummer Night's Dream 3. Coriolanus 4. Merry Wives of Windsor 5. Twelfth Night 6. Pericles 7. Titus Andronicus 8. Measure for Measure
Posted by KryptonKid on :
3. Coriolanus 8. Measure for Measure
Posted by Lad Boy on :
Coriolanus is my favorite b-list tragedy -- not just because of the naked warrior scene, really. Measure for Measure is, in my humble opinion, the best comedy.
I've read them both.
Only 15 combinations remaining:
1. Cymbeline 2. A Midsummer Night's Dream 4. Merry Wives of Windsor 5. Twelfth Night 6. Pericles 7. Titus Andronicus

1. Cymbeline 7. Titus Andronicus
Posted by Lad Boy on :
Cybeline was forgettable, but I read it. Twelfth Night has a gender-swapping lead -- c'mon how could I pass that up? Merry Wives of Windsor has Falstaff, wouldn't miss it. Titus Andronicus has more gore than a Wildstorm title.
Pericles is correct. I believe there's only one answer left.

Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Lance's realm is correct. I have been called to serve three times.
I have never actually sat on a jury although the last time I almost did. It was the time of my graduation from law school. The case was a medical malpractice case and scheduled for a 2 week trial. There were about 100 potentials. People were being dismissed left and right though. I was near the end. When my name was called, I was given a chance to be excused. I explained that my graduation was right in the middle of the trial and that I'd really like to attend my graduation. The judge said "Well I can't excuse you outright right now. If we fill all the spots, then you can be excused. If not, I will call a recess so you can go to your graduation." After that he did the same for two other guys. Finally, there was just the three of us and one seat to fill. The judge picked one of the other two guys. The guy picked was really pissed. Me and the other guy left real fast when the judge said "you're excused."

I'll give you a clue: I first saw this poem in a Flash story featuring Wally West, where the poem played quite a prominant part in the story.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
I think we need a clue or multiple choice answers.
Posted by Seth Gaterra on :
The only poem I know of in conjunction with a Wally West story was Rudyard Kipling's "If".
Might that be it?
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
That's the one Seth.
It was in a Secret Origins annual on the Flash.
The poem was from the Wally West segment. He claimed it was Barrys' favorite poem. It's a list of rules/guidelines on being a better person.
I was going to give multiple choice answers but I don't know enough poetry to make up a decent list.
Oh, the full line was:
"If you can WALK WITH CROWDS and keep your virtue, Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch, "
Your go Seth.

Seth Gaterra's multiple memories on here comes from the point that I'd played versions of him on various RPGs (tabletop, MU*, and PBeM). But which two of these Legionnaires have I not played?

Wow. It's been a while... what to ask, what to ask...
There was a fire drill at my job a few weeks ago and, when I was holding hands and walking with one of the kids, he accidentally hurt himself by walking into a pillar. (I know, I'm really good at my job, though! Honest!!) Anyway, how did I get him to stop crying and get over it?
a) Held him in my arms and walked around with him b) Showed him shiny new toys to play with c) Gave him food treats d) Played with him outside e) Encouraged him to go was his hands f) Talked to him in Spanish g) Sang him a Twinkle, Twinkle over and over h) Walked into a pillar in front of him i) None of the above because I never walked a kid into a pillar!! Ohmigod, how awful!! How could you think that???

Posted by Caliente on :
Sorry boys, none of these are right! Unfortunately, "I" is not true ecause I did it. >< I know, I know. I swear, he wasn't looking and I wasn't watching him, just holding his hand... yeah. Oops.
I did do both "A" and "F" but neither of those were the clincher in calming him down. Couldn't do "D" because the group was inside. I didn't do "G", either, though there is a girl who refuses to sleep unless you do that in the room I work at now.
So that leaves just two options: b) Showed him shiny new toys to play with e) Encouraged him to go was his hands

And the answer is: I am currently wearing a gray plaid shirt. However when I asked the question, I was wearing an orange shirt. So walkwithcrowds has the next question.
KryptonKid, whenever anyone asks "Are there any questions?", I always want to say "What's the capital of Montana?"

The capital of Montana is "M". What do I win?

Sorry but it's no to both of them. I am re-reading the Philip Marlowe books but I am on The High Window right now.

a) Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman

No, sorry Quis. I've just started reading this. It's been sitting on my bookshelf for a while now and I've just gotten round to reading it. It's too early to tell if I like it or not...seems okay so far.

g) The Swords of Night and Day by David Gemmell
Posted by Caliente on :
b) The Time Machine by H.G.Wells
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
Well, Cali got it.
I recently bought a second hand copy of The Complete War of the Worlds, edited by Brian Holmsten & Alex Lubertozzi. It has the original Wells version and the script and a CD of the Welles radio version plus articles about both men. I would recomend it to any SF fan. Anyway that made me decide to hunt out and read the rest of H.G.Wells' stuff. I got a hold of an omnibus edition of some of his stories and have just finished The Time Machine. I REALLY enjoyed it. It's all very Doc Savage/two fisted hero/boys own kind of stuff.
Swords of Night and Day is a book in the Skillgannon series by David Gemmell. One of my favorite writers, who sadly passed away a few months ago...you are missed Big Dave.
The Willows and Beyond is a follow up to Wind In The Willows. I know, it sounds like sacrilege - someone else writing about Toad, Ratty and Mole but the series (of which this was the fourth) was really enjoyable and was very respectful of the source material...Wind in the Willows is one of my all time favorite books and has been ever since I played Toad in a school production of Toad of Toad Hall.
Wow that was a longer answer than I meant to type.
Anyway, Cali? It's your go.

Recently, I posted a question on this site where I referred to an "incomprehensible mess of a story". Below are listed the choices I offered for that question (aside from Our Worlds At War, which is the answer). Now the truth is, out of those eleven stories, I haven't read three of them, and another two of them I actually enjoyed.
So the question is...which three stories have I not read, and which two did I enjoy. As this question is asking for a lot, I'll give lots of hints as answers come in.
1. JLA One Million 2. Final Night 3. Secret Wars 2 4. Identity Crisis 5. Rann / Thanagar War 6. Dark Knight Strikes Again 7. Green Lantern: Emerald Twilight / New Dawn 8. Underworld Unleashed 9. The House of M 10. Zero Hour: Crisis in Time 11. DC versus Marvel

not read: 1. JLA One Million 2. Final Night 3. Secret Wars 2

Posted by Xben on :
OK, Kent...out of five correct answers, you got four of them! But only one of them is in the right category.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
since it's a complex question, I'll use my "mastermind" game strategy and start with small adjustments:
read: 1. JLA One Million 2. Final Night 5. Rann / Thanagar War

Quis, you listed Final Night twice...or was that on purpose? Anyway, two correct answers, one in the right category
Posted by Lance's realm on :

That's a clever idea, but when I said I enjoyed it, I meant that I enjoyed reading it. Or at least that I have got no significant negative memories of it.

Posted by Xben on :
Kent, I'm going to give it to you. I'm going away for a week and don't know if I'll be online during that time. The only one you missed was House of M, which should have taken Emerald Twilight / New Dawn's place.

Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Okay. As some (most?) of you know, I've returned to college at the ripe old age of 38.
I have a major and one minor so far, but may wind up with one or two additional minors.
So, similar to Xben's question, name:
1. my major 2. my current minor 3. the brand-new minor just administratively approved that I may pick up 4. my originally intended minor that I never signed up for but still may take.
Your choices (only 6 to compensate for the complexity of the question):
Geography Canadian Studies French Native American Studies History Quebec Studies
Posted by Lance's realm on :
Wow, Kent, I went back to college a few years ago - at the age of 35. I discovered I had nothing in common with most of my classmates, so I had to be content with checking out the girls who were almost half my age. Anyway...
1. History 2. French 3. Native American Studies 4. Geography
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
two right, but neither in the right slot.
I know what you mean about the girls... especially as there are hot Asian chicks every 10 feet!
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
I may have an edge on this one.

Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :

Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
that's all four...
still completely out of order, though.
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
1) Canadian Studies 2) History 3) French 4) Quebec Studies
And if I get this right I think Quis should still get the next question as he did all the work - I just rearranged his answer.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
WWC has two in the correct places, but two remain in the wrong slots.
Posted by Lance's realm on :
1) History 2) Canadian Studies 3) French 4) Quebec Studies
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Lance has all four in the incorrect positions, so whoever compares his and WWC's posts should easily pick the correct combo.
Posted by Lance's realm on :
Maybe no so easy, since it has been 3 days...
1) Canadian Studies 2) History 3) Quebec Studies 4) French
Is this it?

By the way, what were you trying to say for the number 5?

Crud, Lance took my answer. So I'll say Dragonlance Chronicles
Posted by CJ Taylor on :
Actually, Actor has the right answer. In the Dragonlance novels, there's a race of less intelligent dwarves, and they only have 2 numbers; 1 and 2, no more than 2. Which can be a problem when counting dragons...
So Actor Lad has it.

Sorry that I have been away. Xben has the correct answer with the Grand Caynon. Blame the Brady Bunch for that. Posted by Xben on :
Oh, I got it right! I sort of forgot I voted in this. Okay...
Most of the following films I consider to be okay, but highly overrated by most people who like them. Only one of them do I like as much as anybody else does. Which one?
1. Forrest Gump 2. Dances with Wolves 3. The Matrix (part 1) 4. Braveheart 5. Sense & Sensibility 6. Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
5. Sense & Sensibility
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
1. Forrest Gump?
Posted by dedman on :
6. Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring
Posted by Lad Boy on :
2. Dances with Wolves 3. The Matrix (part 1) 4. Braveheart
Posted by Xben on :
The correct answer is Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. I really enjoyed that movie, and it's my favourite of the trilogy. All the others I enjoyed to mix degrees, but ended up getting annoyed at them because of the accolades they kept receiving from their particular fanbases.
So, dedman goes next.

How many days has it been since I've seen my boyfriend?

Two great guesses that taste great together... but neither is the right answer.

Sorry Quis, but no. I rather enjoy reveling my my Irish heritage. They have bad food, but great folklore and music.

How did I spend Christmas:
1) At a party with family. 2) At a party with friends. 3) In bed with the worst cold I've had in years 4) I had a quiet day, just me and my new love 5) Down the pub getting drunk 6) Christmas? Bah, Humbug!!
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
5) Down the pub getting drunk
Posted by CJ Taylor on :
Quis stole my guess. I will say:
4) I had a quiet day, just me and my new love
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
Nope, both wrong, sorry.
I haven't been drinking for a while now. I still have the odd sociable drink but I don't do "wrecked out of my skull" anymore. I had a few at christmas and I did get quite merry but that was about all. Still felt hungover next day though. I must be getting too old to hold my drink.
I spent Christmas Eve with my new love but her mum is ill so she had to go home and cook the families christmas dinner.
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
2. At a party with friends.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
3) In bed with the worst cold I've had in years
Posted by Xben on :
1) At a party with family
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
Xben has the right answer.
Christmas time is for family.
Kent I ALWAYS have a cold at new year. Every new year for the last 6 years now I have been loaded with the cold - and this year is no exeption.

Both wrong! Both Albert and Frolek are last names of friends of ours, which has been our theme in naming fish, but then my daughter liked the "portia" part, hence "Portia Albert."

OK for the big family Christmas gathering (which we did on New Year's Day) we did a Yankee Swap. (for those who don't know what a Yankee Swap is. Everyone brings a wrapped gift. Then you draw numbers to see who picks in what order. After you pick your gift, you can either keep it or trade it with someone who has opened their gift (they have no choice about trading). The first person does get to trade after all the gifts are open) So of these gifts, what gift did I end up with?
1) A jar full of Ghirardelli chocolate 2) Microwave popcorn and a gift card to a video store 3) A throw blanket, puzzle book, & pen 4) A large jar of cashews & a large jar of peanuts 5) An electric ice scraper and a bottle of Old Spice aftershave lotion 6) 3 large bottles of fragrent hand soap 7) A gift set of a giant coffee mug, coffee, & almond flavored cookies 8) A three drawer plastic storage bin (perfect for scrapbooking) 9) A bed set of bath beads, soaps, and luftahs

I ended up with the Old Spice & an electric ice scraper. Seeing as I don't have a car, I gave the ice scraper to my niece's fiance. So I really only got the Old Spice.
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
OK, another gift-related question.
Although I tell my family and friends I don't want any gifts for Christmas, I inevitably go home with a few things.
Which of these didn't I get this year? And for a useless bonus point, guess which gift I found rather annoying (ungrateful swine that I am).
1. A pack of tube socks 2. A Cincinnati Bengals long-sleeved shirt 3. A tin of caramel corn 4. An electronic Sudoku game 5. Superman Returns on DVD 6. A pair of tennis shoes 7. The Turkish version of Wizard of Oz on DVD 8. A battery-powered massager 9. $50 bucks to be spent at the restaurant of my choice.
Posted by Lance's realm on :

Nope on the bonus question too.

No and no to both of you.

Note to Outdoor Miner, there is a guess on the previous page.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
You didn't get a Cincinnatti Bengals Long-sleeve shirt (No. 2) and you were annoyed by a tin of caramel corn (No. 3)
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
No one has gotten either one yet.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
By "No one has gotten either one yet." do you mean that no one has guessed either answer even for the wrong catagory or that no one has gotten the right answer for the right catagory but have guessed the right answer but for the wrong catagory?
I'll guess that you didn't get the tennis shoes and were really annoied by the tin of caramel corn
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
I meant that no one has guessed right in either category.
That still holds.
Posted by CJ Taylor on :
You didn't get #4, but got annoyed but #8?
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
At last, I can bring this nightmare question to an end.
I did not get the electronic Sudoku this year. Got it two years ago.
So it's over to C.J. for the next question. Congrats, C.J.!
No one gets the useless bonus point, which was #2, the Cincinnati Bengals shirt. I hate the Bengals. The person who gave me the shirt knows I hate the Bengals. Hence the annoyance.
Remind me to post about the Turkish Wizard of Oz, someday. It's.....different.

"A"

(c) '69 Firebird convertible, because I like to say "69" and "topless" a lot.
(d) '06 Mercury Marquis, because it's big enough for the whole family but not a minivan.
(e) '01 Neon, because I generally hate cars and nothing says "I hate cars" more than a Neon.

On Sept 11, 2001, I did all of the following except which one.
(a) I left my office and walked to Virginia shortly after American Airlines 77 crashed into the Pentagon.
(b) I first learned the WTC had collapsed after I reached Virginia.
(c) I tried to ride my bike home, but the streets and sidewalks of Washington were too crowded for a bicycle.
(d) I felt panicked when I had to cross the Potomac River because I could see the plume of smoke rising from the Pentagon.
(e) I sat on my front porch and wept at the news that two friends who had relocated to renovated offices in the Pentagon could not be reached.

Posted by Lad Boy on :
(a) I left my office and walked to Virginia shortly after American Airlines 77 crashed into the Pentagon. This one is TRUE. My wife called me at my office and said, "They've crashed an American Airlines jet into the Pentagon. Get out of the city, now!" Although what she said contradicted what I had heard on the radio, I got up and left without saying a word to anyone. My wife is not the panicky or impulsive type."
(b) I first learned the WTC had collapsed after I reached Virginia. This one is TRUE. I knew a plane had crashed into the WTC and had seen a picture of the seemilngly modestly damaged building on Washingtonpost.com. I heard radio reports that something, perhaps a helicopter had crashed near the Pentagon. I didn't see the collapse of the WTC buildings until I got to Virginia and ran into a hotel to try to call my wife from a payphone. Pre-9/11, I did not carry a cell phone.
(c) I tried to ride my bike home, but the streets and sidewalks of Washington were too crowded for a bicycle.
(d) I felt panicked when I had to cross the Potomac River because I could see the plume of smoke rising from the Pentagon. This one is TRUE. I had made it to Francis Scott Key Bridge. It connects Georgetown to Arlington, VA. I had made my way through gridlocked streets and sidewalks from near the White House. I still had no idea of the magnitude of what had happened. The smoke from the Pentagon dominated the sky to the south. The Key Bridge is very long and very tall, and on that day it was very crowded. I looked up and down the river for any sign that the bridge might not be safe and then made my way across as quickly as possible.
(e) I sat on my front porch and wept at the news that two friends who had relocated to renovated offices in the Pentagon could not be reached.

Miner has it.

(c) I tried to ride my bike home, but the streets and sidewalks of Washington were too crowded for a bicycle. This one is FALSE. For some odd reason I did not ride my bike to work. I took the subway instead.
(d) I felt panicked when I had to cross the Potomac River because I could see the plume of smoke rising from the Pentagon. This one is TRUE. I had made it to Francis Scott Key Bridge. It connects Georgetown to Arlington, VA. I had made my way through gridlocked streets and sidewalks from near the White House. I still had no idea of the magnitude of what had happened.

(e) I sat on my front porch and wept at the news that two friends who had relocated to renovated offices in the Pentagon could not be reached. This one is TRUE. A recently married couple, both good friends of my wife and me, work for the Department of Defense. They were in the process of moving into newly renovated offices in the Pentagon in the area of the crash site. They were out of the building and both fine, but we were unable to get any information about them for several days.

I am currently reading my whole comic collection in more-or-less alphabetical order. After almost a year, I am about 25% of the way through it. I am currently in the Es, but I am going very slowly because of a particular insanely boring title. Which comic that starts with the letter E am I finding so mind-numbingly tedious?

Excaliber?

Wow! 3 minutes! Good job Kent! Yeah, I am really bored with these. I am so glad I have only a few issues. Anyway, you're up!

I just picked up 2 new and 4 used DVDs this past weekend.
Of the 4 pairs listed below, which pair were new, and which pair did I not buy?

Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
guesses for "Bought new" (assuming Quis' guess is for "bought New"): neither guess is correct, but one of these was the combo I didn't buy.
Guesses for "Didn't buy": I did buy these two, but these were among the four I bought used (so they don't meet either category).

ded, bass-wielding genius that he is, has done it again. My sister tried the clarinet. I tried everything else on the list, and a couple others besides, but I need to save something for a later game.
Kent, a melodica is a reed instrument with a keyboard on top. You press a key to open a hole, while blowing through the mouthpiece. I've mostly heard it used in reggae.

There is a IHOP (International House of Pancakes) right next to my comic book shop. So after picking up my comics, I had the buttermilk trio with a side of bacon. And a fruit bowl.

Quis, You're too cool. Fred and i bought the DVD of Memoirs, but we still haven't watched it. Your go!
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Not too cool. I figured it was Astronaut Farmer from the clues you gave as to correct answers. Then eliminated wrong answers til I was left with either Memoirs or What the Bleep.
Ok.
Right now I am reading a book about which obscure historical figure and which obscure historical figure have I not read a book about?
1. Francis Marion 2. Elizabeth Blackwell 3. Jane Addams 4. Robert Green Ingersoll 5. John Brown
Posted by KryptonKid on :
You are reading about Jane Addams.
You have never read about Francis Marion.

Neither of those is correct
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
You are reading about John Brown.
You have never read about Elizabeth Blackwell.

You are reading about Elizabeth Blackwell.
You have never read about Robert Green Ingersoll

Youy have not read about John Brown
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
You are reading about Francis Marion
You have never read about Robert Green Ingersoll

Reposting the question: Right now I am reading a book about which obscure historical figure and which obscure historical figure have I not read a book about?
1. Francis Marion 2. Elizabeth Blackwell 3. Jane Addams 4. Robert Green Ingersoll 5. John Brown
Posted by dedman on :
Reading about - John Brown
Never read about - Jane Addams
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
That is the correct answer.
I am currently reading about Abolitionist John Brown who raided the federal arsenal at Harper's Ferry Virginia in 1859 in the hopes of starting a slave insurrection. I have reached the part about the raid right now.
I have never read about Jane Addams who ounded Hull House in Chicago.
Francis Marion, the Swamp Fox of the American Revolution was one of the first books I read and got me interested in history.
I read about Elizabeth Blackwell, the first woman to graduate from medical school in the US, when I was a teenager.
And I read about Robert Green Ingersoll more recently. The Great Agnostic, Mr. Ingersoll campaigned for many politicians and presidents sought his advice. A reknown orator, his open agnosticism kept him from political office.
Over to you Dedman.

I'm not only a fan of western comics but manga as well, which series do I have more of in Japanese then in English?
A. Gon B. Kinnikuman, Ultimate Muscle, & Ramen Man C. Knights of the Zodiac/Saint Seiya D. Sailor Moon & Codename: Sailor V E. Tenchi Muyo
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
E. Tenchi Muyo
Posted by KryptonKid on :
A. Gon
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
B. Kinnikuman, Ultimate Muscle, & Ramen Man
Posted by ActorLad on :
While Tenchi Muyo is one of my fave series, I only have the English releases. Gon was kind of a trick answer because while I do have the ones published by the DC imprint Paradox Press with translated authors notes, the actual series is completely wordless. B is the correct answer. I found a good deal on ebay for them and so far only one of the three related series (Ultimate Muscle) is being released in english. I've been a fan of these series long before I knew its true origins. The Kinnikuman Kinkeshi toys were released as M.U.S.C.L.E., Millions of Unusual Small Creatures Lurking Everywhere back in the 80s. While a popular toyline at the time they weren't really given any other backstory then being wrestlers. Only two character were given names in the line Muscle Man (Kinnikuman) and Terri-Bull (Buffaloman).

Posted by dedman on :
1) I won $200 on a lottery scratch ticket
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
I have had a letter to the editor printed, but not recently (there is a thread somewhere on these boards about it). I have never had anyone give me their phone number in a "cute guy" sort of way. And if you want to know what numbers won't come out in the lottery get me to buy a ticket. My lottery luck holds for scratch tickets too.
I did ruin my white shirt with a meatball stain. I was volunteering at a fund raiser. I and another volunteer were sent out to get two trays of food that was being donated. I was carrying the tray of meatballs. I thought I was holding the tray even, but I suddenly noticed the huge stain on my shirt. I was also wearing my favorite silk tie (it features head shots of the Looney Tune characters). Luckily no meatball sauce got on the tie. I would have been really upset if that had happened.
Oh and I have never gotten a drink thrown in my face and my roommate is not moving out.

Posted by Blacula on :
Gosh - that was quick Quis! Alabama it is! New York was a good guess Dedman because that's where I live and study but this Student Filmmaker was really rich so he flew us all to his home state for his movie.
So we spent a month filming his horror film on his ranch somewhere near Birmingham but him and his producer were so disorganised that the real horror was going on behind the scenes!
Anyway, Quis - you're up.

Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Nope, I had to do that. The train left 30 minutes late and my phone's battery was dead so I couldn't call Dad to let him know. However, the station is only a 10 minute walk from my Dad's. And they didn't charge us for the ride.

Nope. I hung up the drapes that I took down last week. Dad washed them during the week.

I wanted to go play in a chess tournament in Lexington last Saturday, but I didn't go. Why?

Lad Boy gets it - it is a train game. I kind of ripped off Age of Steam a little, but basically the first person to make a certain amount of money wins. Also, you can upgrade the die you roll (d4-d6-d8-d10) and how many cars you can pull. You also have to have the right type of car to pick up freight. (You can't pick up logs with a refrigerator car; you have to have a flatbed with staves.)

Also, let me say, I would never drag the rest of the family along on a chess tournament. I am not that cruel. Chess, IMHO, isn't much of a spectator sport.

Hawkman is correct. You are also correct that Hulk is filed under 'I' for exactly the reason you mentioned. Here is a vague hint - the other comic I have that starts with 'H' is not a Marvel or DC book - in fact, it is not even a superhero book.

4) Went to the beach and we frolicked in the waves.
5) Toured Paul Revere's house and they were throughly bored.

I remember when I lived in Boston, everyone who visited from out of town just had to see the Bull and Finch Pub and, upon seeing it, they would always say "You mean this is it?". A similar reaction can be obtained by taking a person to see Plymouth Rock, or, here in Texas, to the Alamo.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Well, it looks like Caliente changed her answer and so got two bites of the apple
Friday we went to the beach and frolicked in the waves.
Didn't go to the Paul Revere House
We didn't look for unexploded fireworks or go into the Cheers bar for some brewskis. What kind of an uncle do you think I am?

It is new. It is near Fenway park. It is like a haunted house (with an Egyptian theme) but as you go through it, your group has to solve various puzzles to continue on. One such puzzle was to find the "stones" that made a sound and then play the tune the Pharoh played.

8. Visited another country
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
And that is correct by a little over one month. I visited France in May and June of 2002, making it just over five years ago.
For the record: *I bought my laptop in 2004. *I adopted Hyvvie in August 2005 (the same month I joined Legion World). *It's been a while since I've been to a conference, the last being the American Library Association's Midwinter Meeting in 2003. *I've held several babies, most recently my nephew David in May.

When I was younger, I wanted the super-powers of five different superheroes. Which of these superheroes is not one of the five:
1) Green Lantern 2) Flash 3) Red Tornado 4) Aquaman 5) Atom 6) Elongated Man
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
6) Elongated Man
Posted by Novelty on :
5) Atom
I'm sure shrinking must be something that you would fear most!
Posted by Caliente on :
4) Aquaman
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
I loved the stretching and pliability of Elongated Man and wanted it for myself. Although I liked Plastic Man's shape changing (which EM didn't have), he wasn't in the Justice League, Ralph was.
I thought the shrinking bit pretty cool so as to hide and sneak under doors. Plus with the other powers, I'd be pretty awesome.
I love to swim. And being able to swim underwater without having to come up for air would have made it that much better.
Three choices left for the hero who's power I didn't want.
Posted by Caliente on :
2) Flash
He might be my favorite (might-- ha!) but I actually didn't see the appeal of his powers as a kid. Now I love 'em. But that's just me and my wish that I could speed read...
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
What? You don't see the appeal of his power to a kid? Chores done in under a minute. (Lil' Quislet, Esq. thought balloon: "If I had Flash's power, I'd be all done shoveling snow off the driveway and could be back inside.") Running up the side of a building. Running across water. Plucking bullets from mid-air. Creating a vortex by spinning my arm.
His was my number one power pick.
Posted by Novelty on :
Red Tornado then
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
That would be the one. Although I love Red Tornado, I could always duplicate his powers with Flash's powers.
And who would not want a power ring?
Posted by Novelty on :
Not to mention the power to create anything with the power of your will?

Well, I was thinking either that or Norwegian as the others were all related.
Sticking with the foreign language theme, which did I not study in school (note I didn't say I could speak it or read it now)

On the first try, it goes back to Novelty! I love Coke Zero.
I also love ginger ale, although it is a bit difficult to find in Texas. Posted by Novelty on :
Coke Zero has that weird aftertaste though, or maybe it's just me? It does something weird to my throat like constrict it or something.

...but on that theme... being here in Edmonton this month has bumped Alberta higher on the list of Canadian provinces, in terms of the amount time I've spent in each.
Which province remains the only province where I have spent more time than I have in Alberta (so far), and in how many weeks will Alberta reach/surpass it?
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
...it occurs to me not everyone may know all the provinces: Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and British Columbia are the other 9 (besides Alberta).
To be fair, "Newfoundland and Labrador" is the proper name for the first-listed province, but I didn't want to confuse anyone into thinking they were two different ones.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
I'd say Quebec for the province. And 3 weeks to reach/surpass it.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Quebec it is... but you're off by a week.

What name did I take for my Confirmation name?
1) Stephen 2) Joseph 3) Quadragesimus 4) Ralph 5) James 6) Sigfrid 7) Wilgefortis 8) Maximus 9) Henry 10) William
Posted by Lad Boy on :
2) Joseph
Posted by Novelty on :
Confirmation? You get to pick a name for being a lawyer?
Since you're the sesquipedalian (spelling?) I'll go with
3) Quadragesimus
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Confirmation is one of the sacraments in Catholicism. It is basically reaffirming the baptisimal vows as an adult.
And I took neither Joseph nor Quadragesimus as a name.
Posted by Novelty on :
Wow, how long ago did you do this confirmation thing?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
About 30 years ago. You do it around age 16. You pick a new name because Confirmation is you making your baptisimal vows (rather than your parents speaking for you) And like at Baptism, you are named.
Posted by Novelty on :
Ah, so does that mean you're still religious and all? I just thought it funny that a lawyer of your... preferences would have chosen a quasi-"religious" question.
8) Maximus wasn't going to be my next guess... but I'll try it anyways.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
I am not religious myself (although I am respectful) But I have asked so many questions on this thread (and the original) that I have to dig for a good question.
And Maximus would have been a great name. Too bad I didn't think of it at the time.
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
5) James
Which was mine (although I later became Episcopalian and Confirmation names are not used in the Anglican tradition--though Confirmation itself is--so I guess I don't have it any more).
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
It twas not James.
And I don't actually use my Confirmation name.

Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
I didn't pick Wilgeford (That's a girl saint by the way) Henry is my middle name, not my confirmation name. I didn't go with Sigfrid because my best friend wouldn't pick Roy (Ok I made that up, but I still didn't pick Sigfrid)
I did pick Stephen. You are up KryptonKid

Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
When I spent a week in Alsace a few years back, we went into Germany a couple of times. It was pleasant, but it was the only time in my life I've ever been somewhere where I only spoke a few words of the language (I can bumble through some basic French and Spanish, but I pretty much only know choir German and the words of "Stille Nacht" won't get you far in June ), so I wasn't at ease enought to really enjoy it.
Anyway, back to the game: I've always loved music, but I don't really play an instrument. Choral singing is my main musical outlet. Which instrument have I never attempted to learn to play:
1. Cello 2. Flute 3. Guitar 4. Organ 5. Piano 6. Recorder 7. Violin
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
4. Organ
Posted by Caliente on :
1. Cello
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
I've tried playing both of those. Neither stuck.
I can honestly say that I've played the organ at the Cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris. The two times I went to Europe were on tours visiting historic pipe organs (my best friend is an organist). Participants in the tours were allowed to play some of the organs. I practiced till I could play a simple hymn tune and played that same tune it on every single one of them! That was several years ago know and I've rarely tried playing the organ since then.
Cello was the first instrument I attempted to learn (when I was six). I tried it for a year, but decided I didn't like it.

And we have a winner!
I have never attempted to learn to play the flute.
One of my sisters tried to teach me the guitar (which she couldn't really play herself ). I took piano lessons in college. Like many kids, I was taught recorder in elementary school. At the same time, I was taking violin lessons. I never really was able to find an instrument I loved so much that I had to play it all the time, though to be fair, I do own an electronic keyboard, which I mostly use to help to learn my choir parts.
Caliente, take it away!
Posted by Caliente on :
Haha, cool! I once told my friend that, "Boys don't play the flute!" when I was nine. Needless to say, his mom told me off good for that one. Anyway. The question...

And Caliente, now you know that some boys without musical talent play the flute. Posted by KryptonKid on :
a) World War Hulk #3
Posted by Caliente on :
Wow, those aren't it, either!
I read New Warriors v4 #3 when it first came out. Not gonna lie, I was a little disappointed. I really liked the start, though, so I think it'll pick up again.
Ironically, Supergirl v5 #20 was the one I read just before the last one. I actually liked it for a change and I loved how Kara look. I hate what Churchill did with her at the start...
Futurama! I read the one the second I got it. I effin' love those kids. >.> And just what are you implying about Bender and myself..? Do I look like a Rodríguez to you?
I will admit, I did read Fantastic Four/Power Pack last week, which was vaguely entertaining. I didn't see any Mini Marvels, though! Honestly! Don't they know that's why I get it? And, Quis, I'm sure your flute-playing abilities surpass mine. 'Course I played the clarinet but still...
Lastly, (even though I'm sure no one cares ) I'm totally caught up in-- and loving-- World War Hulk. Seriously, so much violent, violent fun. And I don't even like the Hulk! But, yeah, I read that sucker almost the second I had it. I'm totally caught up.

This sounds more true of Kid Prime.
Posted by Stealth on :
Congratulations, Cali dear. You have the right answer.
I'll admit I have some dodgy comics with Epting art (including -- gah -- the first few Howard Mackie issues of X-Factor v.1) but Jurgens is where I draw the line. I do not wish to contribute to his royalties. Jurgens ruined DC for me back in the day with Death of Superman, Zero Hour, and the Destiny's Hand arc in JLA. And I do believe that urban legend that a drunken Jurgens spoiled the original ending to Armageddon.
Lad Boy, I do indeed prefer Eno's first solo album to his more acclaimed third. The former has wit, hooks, and chutzpah; the latter just bores me to sleep.
Novelty, I do watch waaaaay too much of the Food Network. Giada De Laurentiis' show, Everyday Italian, is always a delightfully soothing half hour of escapism -- I wish that I too were beautiful, rich, and a good cook making a living at what I enjoy doing. And on a more sensationalistic note, those trainwrecks known as Rachael Ray and Sandra Lee amuse me to no end (although in RR's latest episodes she seems heavily sedated -- she's no longer crossing her eyes, pulling faces, wearing too much fake tan, waving her arms every which way, or loudly rasping out inanities. Darn.)
KK, I love the first four seasons of Alias and loathe the fifth; every time it looked like it was gonna get good, it stumbled painfully, and the ending was appalingly bad. Here's my Alias thread.
Quis, I truly cannot get enough Transformers; but you raise a good question -- does Kid Prime also have backups in his collection?

Nope, I am foolish enough to try to write 100 fics/vignettes about this character. Don't ask me why... I've done 12 so far, though. Well, more kinda... but they're not completed.

I'm not a marvellite. Also, 100 fanfics? That's a crazy number. Why do a character most people would jump to do?

b) Storm

I believe that leaves me with d.
Posted by Caliente on :
Let's see... I love Siryn, I do. I even RP'd her a few times (in Evo, strangely enough) but she's not my girl.
I used to write Rogue all the time (with Gambit because I'm a sucker like that), but I don't like my old stuff anymore. So now it's harder to write her.
I absolutely adore Storm! I've RP'd her and ficced her-- she's awesome. But it's not her, either.
I've never actually tried to write Ms. Marvel. Much like Shulkie, I fear I could not do her justice. And, to be honest, I've only just recently become a fan. Yay, Brian Reed!
So that leaves Novelty with the right answer! I picked my girl Dani because, not only do I love her, but no one else wanted her. Plus, I think her history's really interesting. There's so much you can do with it.
Anyway, yes, I'm crazy. And you're up, kid!

I have always said I wanted to read classics such as Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, but have never got around to it Lad Boy. So no, that's not it.
Quis: I read Rama over 15 years ago when I was a huge Clarke fan.
Cali: Ditto with reading Tolkien about 20 years ago.
Shan: Green Mars is the middle book of the Mars trilogy, I finished it even before the book was released in the US, thanks to an advance copy from the UK. I finished reading 40 signs of rain 2 years ago, bought the next book in the trilogy (whatever it's called) but haven't got around to begin reading that yet. So no, not Green Mars.
Stealth: The WSJ is a really boring newspaper. I'd rather read the Chicago Tribune or the NY Times over the WSJ any day.
So since we are on a new page:

Quis, it would have been interesting to read about his preparing as an astronaut mission thing, but not so much the I dated a reality star bit. I don't even have the book though, and have no plan to read it really.

D) A Feast for Crows, George RR Martin
Posted by Novelty on :
KK: I have only got as far as the 2nd book of A Game of Thrones. That's the other book I'm "in the middle of" because it's so boring after they killed the father of the kids in book 1. Feast for Crows is the 4th book.
And I'm not a huge fan of Bill anyways, so it's not that as well.
IB, if you meant Stephen King's stuff, well, I generally avoid reading horror because I find a novel to usually be worse than, say a live action movie or tv series.
Quis, I actually finished the copy of Nat Geo a few hours before I posted this question, so that's not it either.
Cali: It's sad, but I haven't read the fully 7 issues of IC or the trade. The thing is, I already know what happens at the end. Still, it would be good to actually read it sometime in the near future, if only because I like Doc Midnite's scenes.
So... we are left weith

Well, at least we also know that T) can't be the right answer
H) Lord of Chaos - a book from a series I personally thoroughly enjoy, so I'll pick that. Admittedly, the action slowed down from Books 6-10, but by then I'd become so invested in the series that I wouldn't stop buying it.

[ August 15, 2007, 02:46 AM: Message edited by: Caliente ]
Posted by Novelty on :
Where ya goin' Cali? Any place interesting? I wondered what was your guess since you didn't actually get the right answer... someone else already did.
Prince Caspian is the next movie coming up from Disney (I think it's Disney) from one of CS Lewis' books. Read that at about the same time I read Lord of The Rings. So nope.
Quis: I know you probably think I'm way too nerdy after listing like more than 30 African countries when you asked for 3, but I don't go around reading encyclopeadia..s? (whatever is the plural of encyclopeadia... encyclopeadium?)... well, at least not a "proper" one like Britainnica.
Lad Boy: Have you read that book? That's Book 2 of the Soldier's Sons series. I'm still waiting for a paperback copy to hit the stores so that I can buy it. I'm not shelling out the extra money for a big hardcover version that I will probably read once and have problem storing.
Which means that IB got it right. I started out with Book 1 The Eye of the World on Jan 1st 2007 and am currently on book 6 or 11 (or 12, but the last book hasn't been published). The first 3 books or so were pretty much bad, but interesting, and I find that I like the series as I progress reading the books.
As with the others. Nope, don't have a John Mayer CD; I just iTunes his songs. I almost picked up a Times magazine at the newstand that week because I was early for an appointment, but decided not to. Oh and I read Charlie and the Chocolate factory after I read all 7 CS Lewis books and the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
So, Mr. Brainiac, it's your question.
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Thanks.
Novelty, what didn't you like about the books? The writing style? The rest of the books have the same style, so...
But the story does keep on getting interesting, although it really slows down in Books 8 and 10. However, it's worth it to keep reading because Books 9 and 11 have some pretty exciting endings.
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
This should be a fun question.
I took a personality test which measures which Greek god you're most like. Which two did I end up as?
a) Zeus b) Hades c) Poseidon d) Eros e) Ares f) Apollo g) Hephaestus h) Dionysius i) Hermes j) Heracles/Hercules k) Adonis l) Artemis - they snuck some goddesses in m) Athena - they snuck some goddesses in
Posted by Novelty on :
Eros and Hades? Love and Hate
The style was OK. I got the feeling that the Eye of the World was supposed to be one book, then when it got successful he wanted to turn it into a trilogy, which then got nerfed into this 12 book series thing. So the first 3 books had developments that seemed not very well thought out, but past that it seems pretty much okayish plot-wise.
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
Ares and Dionysius
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Nope, and nope.
You can eliminate Eros, he was never on the test. I made him up, and there are two others who were never on the test at all.
Novelty: Yes, there were some wonky things in the first few books, but I think he'd planned to see it through til the end. It was just done rather oddly at first what with the hundred-plus characters in the first book alone Posted by Novelty on :
IB: Yeah, the first few books were weird plot wise, but it settles down pretty much after book 4 or so. I have no idea how he's gonna fit the resolution of everything in book 12 - I think there's just way too much drama involved, like who killed Asmodean, the resolution of the Moiraine storyline, who Mesaana is masquarading in the White Tower, where is Demandred, etc. etc. in addition to the final battle Tai-something Gai-something.
Hephaestus because you like to build... and... Zeus because you have a god complex? Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
h) Dionysius & f) Apollo
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
Heracles/Hercules and Adonis
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Oh my, have I killed the thread? Not many guesses lately.
Hephaestus was one of my lowest,so you can eliminate that. Ditto Zeus
Neither Hercules nor Adonis was on the test.
Hades, Dionysius, Ares are all wrong too.
I'll give Quis the next question since he got the one I got highest in - Apollo. Hermes was just one point lower.
Anyone want a copy of the test, send me a PM and I'll email it to you.
Here's what they say about me: I. APOLLO: God of Sun, Light (Phoebus) and Purity
Psychological Traits • Sets realistic goals; logical • Usually extraverted, thinking and intuitive • Future • Obedient son • Likes music and poetry • Athletic • Killer instinct • Upholder of law and order • Brother archetype • Values prudence and clarity • Prefers to be an observer • Avoids physical danger/war Psychological Difficulties • Emotional Distance • Competitive but may not become no. 1 • Narcissism and Arrogance • Very serious, no sense of humor • Can be cruel and punitive when humiliated
II. HERMES: Messenger God Psychological Traits • Communicator • Usually extraverted, intuitive and thinking • Aware of past, present and future • Trickster & Traveler and witty • Guide to the souls to the underworld • Seek to find meaning in experience • Friendly • Rescuer of the child • “Don Juan” qualities Psychological Difficulties • Impulsive • Profound but has no depth • Good with words but not with action • Lack of Limits • Con Artist • Eternal Youth • Lack of emotional commitment or intimacy
PS Novelty, I agree. I hope he doesn't decide to leave some threads hanging, but I heard that he may never reveal the Asmodean mystery. Or maybe he'll just have someone mention it in a throwaway line. *shrug* But I agree, I think the things with the White Tower and Moiraine could fill up a whole book by themselves.

Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
d) Mr. Bean's Holiday - you have had a crush on Rowan Atkinson for a long time now. admit it.

I won't deny it. And I did join the Korean club in middle school because all they did was watch Mr. Bean and play Spoons. However, that's not the film I'm off to see.

2. Doctor Strange
And if it was-- how was it?
Posted by ActorLad on :
Lance got it right, I would of picked up the LOSH toon dvd too but I forgot about it. I've only watched the Dr Strange dvd so far but it was quite good, especially considering the previous Marvel direct to dvd films. I'm probably gonna spend some of today and tomorrow rewatching Heroes. I can't wait for the new season to start.
Eragon I recieved a from a friend because he didn't care for it, The Host I saw at a cafe last week, & Billy & Mandy's Big Boogey adventure I've had for awhile.

In grade school, I was fascinated by animals in general. So in a way, all the answers are right, except for insects, which I've always found creepy. But there were certain types of animals I was especially interested in. Horses and Prehistoric Mammals came very close to the top, but Dinosaurs were the ones I was the most interested in.

Posted by Caliente on :
6. Green
Posted by Stealth on :
No.
I think that many of Green's derivatives and different shades are beautiful, but Just Plain Green is too dull for my taste.
Posted by Lance's realm on :
4. Purple
Posted by Stealth on :
No.
Purple is only a couple places behind, though. It's so dramatic.
Posted by Caliente on :
My first instinct was to go with: 2. Blue
Which may prove just as wrong as green but ya never know!
Posted by Stealth on :
It's not Blue, but Blue is only second to my favorite. A few years ago, when I moved into my apartment and bought furniture, I bought a light blue sofa, and a darker but still fairly soft blue easy chair. There's something I find very soothing about Blue.

1. Yellow ?

red?
Posted by KryptonKid on :
7. Pink
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
8. Periwinkle
Posted by Stealth on :
Orange lends a nice touch of tanginess to anything, appropriate enough for a color that shares its name with an acidic fruit; but it's not my favorite.
Red can be nice when it's used right, but I've rarely seen that happen.
Pink is very sweet and vibrant, best in small doses I think.
Periwinkle is lovely and delicate and one of my favorite derivatives of blue, but the top spot belongs to...
Yellow -- it symbolizes vitality, energy, the good things in life!
It's your thread now, Novelty.

A) Brainiac 5 B) Chameleon C) Colossal Boy / Leviathan / Micro Lad D) Cosmic Boy E) Dream Girl F) Element Lad G) Gates H) Invisible Kid I) Karate Kid J) Kid Quantum (Jazmin) K) Kinetix L) Lightning Lad / Live Wire M) Mon-El / M'Onel / Valor N) Phantom Girl / Apparition O) Quislet P) Saturn Girl Q) Sensor Girl / Princess Projectra R) Shikari S) Spark / Light Lass T) Star Boy U) Sun Boy V) Triplicate Girl / Triad / Duo Damsel / Una W) Ultra Boy X) Shadow Lass / Umbra Y) Shrinking Violet / Atom Girl Z) XS
Posted by Caliente on :
D) Cosmic Boy
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
I could answer "Quislet" and be right because that is MY favorite Legionnaire.
But for your question, I'll guess B) Chameleon
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Because we went to a new page, here is Novelty's question. Caliente guessed D) Cosmic Boy

Wow, that was quick. Your go Cali!
Posted by Caliente on :
Haha, wow! Sweet as. I love Cos myself.
What 5YL Legion member's name did I use as my ID at another message board?
a) Kono b) Celeste (Rockfish-McCauley) c) Devlin O'Ryan d) Veilmist e) Firefist f) Bloodclaw g) Flederweb h) (Sussa) Paka i) Psyche! I didn't steal any of their names and stuck with Caliente. Posted by Stealth on :
This is a surprise. I thought you were only into the Post-ZH Legion. Been catching up on Pre-ZH lately?
Anyway, here's my guess:
h) (Sussa) Paka
Posted by Caliente on :
I will admit that I don't know much about the preboot Legion, even now. But even I have to admit they had cool names.
But, sorry! Spider Girl wasn't my choice.
Posted by Stealth on :
I agree the names are cool, even though I dislike a lot of other things about 5YL.
My next guess:
b) Celeste (Rockfish-McCauley)
Posted by Caliente on :
Celeste is a super nifty name. But that ain't it!
Posted by Stealth on :
Let's see if third time's the charm:
a) Kono
Posted by Caliente on :
Not this time, babe! <3
Posted by Stealth on :
Okay, one last try before I go to bed:
d) Veilmist
Posted by Caliente on :
That's the one! I loved the name and she was a kick ass Khundian.
Your go, Stealth!
Posted by Stealth on :
In a similar spirit:
I have used Stealth from L.E.G.I.O.N. as my principal Legion World ID from the start. Which other two L.E.G.I.O.N. characters were IDs of mine on another message board?
1) Phase 2) Lady Quark 3) Strata 4) Marij'n 5) Electrix 6) Ig'nea 7) Lydea Mallor 8) Lyrissa Mallor 9) Zena Moonstruk
Posted by KryptonKid on :
1) Phase 2) Lady Quark
Posted by Stealth on :
I like both of them a lot, but no.

Quis, I'm not a fan of either of those two.
Novelty, you got it only half right. Lydea was one of my IDs on another board, but not her mother.
Posted by Caliente on :
3) Strata 7) Lydea Mallor
Posted by Stealth on :
I like Strata -- the scene where she makes a case for avenging Lyrissa is a favorite of mine -- but she's never been an ID of mine.
Posted by Novelty on :
6) Ig'nea 7) Lydea Mallor
I have no idea who Ig'nea or Electrix are...
Posted by Lad Boy on :
5) Electrix
7) Lydea Mallor
Posted by Stealth on :
Ig'nea and Electrix are both L.E.G.I.O.N. villainesses. In order to gain revenge on Vril Dox for events which I won't spoil for people who haven't read them yet, Ig'nea formed a sort of 20th Century Legion of Super-Villains, and Electrix was one of them.
And Ig'nea was my other ID on another board.
You're up, Novelty.

Which of these cities in Asia have I not been to?
A) Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates B) Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei C) Bangkok, Thailand D) Beijing, China E) Cheju, South Korea F) Dubai, United Arab Emirates G) Hong Kong, China H) Jakarta, Indonesia I) Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia J) Kuching, Malaysian Borneo K) Manila, Philippines L) Penang, Malaysia M) Rangoon, Burma N) Singapore, Singapore O) Seoul, Korea P) Taipei, Taiwan Q) Tokyo, Japan
I was gonna do an A-Z, but realised that there weren't places that many near the end of the alphabet - Urumqi, Vientienne, W? Xian, Yangon, Zhuhai...?
Posted by Lad Boy on :
K) Manila, Philippines
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
M) Rangoon, Burma
Posted by Caliente on :
B) Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei
Posted by Stealth on :
O) Seoul, Korea
Posted by Novelty on :
Hmm...
Manila was an interesting place, where security guards at the mall have handmade rifles, and they search your bags at the entrance...
Rangoon is a dusty place that seems full of 60s and 70s architecture. If a comic book artist needs some inspiration for the design motifs of that era, they can probably get some inspiration from that city.
Bandar S.B. is not even a city - it's so small it's like a glorified village. It's claim to fame though is in the gold-plated domes on its mosques, but when you've seen one of them, you've mostly seen them all.
Seoul is a busy place full of life, and the food there's great. I got to visit the World Cup stadium there, which, 5 years on, still had the World Cup mascots decorating the stadium.
So good guesses everyone, but no...

E) Cheju, South Korea
Posted by Stealth on :
I) Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Posted by Novelty on :
Singapore is a busy city, but way too clean and it seems to be losing it's heritage.
Cheju is lovely all year round and the people there are so friendly.
I think Kuala Lumpur is hot, and I mean that temperature wise. The traffic jams there are bad as well.
So nope, guess again? I have a feeling Cali's next guess will be it...

G) Hong Kong, China
Posted by Caliente on :
Jeez, no pressure.
J) Kuching, Malaysian Borneo
Posted by Novelty on :
Penang is a whole lot nicer than KL to its south and the food is better too...
Kuching has had that huge waterfront redevelopment, which makes it rather nice to stroll along when the day is cooler. There are also some nice antique shops thereabouts too.
Hong Kong is busy, busier than places like Beijeing, or so it seems. Despite supposing to have better food though, I found the food there mediocre, although the tailors there are great.
Urm... Cali, Quis already got that... so I guess it's your next guess?

Posted by Caliente on :
Pffft. That's what I get for trying to read when sick. This time, I know no one else has said it. whether it's right, on the other hand...
F) Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
H) Jakarta, Indonesia I was going to pick this for my last guess.
Posted by Stealth on :
Q) Tokyo, Japan
Posted by Novelty on :
Taipei is laid out in a huge grid, and the traffic jams are bad. It's not one of my favourite places, going out of the city to the surrounding countryside is probably one of the best things to do there.
Dubai is ultra crazy, the skyline changes every so often. I like the malls there though.
Tokyo just has that amount of energy to it, and there are so many things that seems out of place to a gaijin...
Abu Dhabi tries to be Dubai, but can't seem to quite get there. Still, I like how there's less people there and how it's not as commercialised as its neighbouring city.
Bangkok's traffic is not something to enjoy, but the food there sure is nice.
Yes, that means Quis got it. I'd like to go to Jakarta one of these days, but haven't quite been able to wing it yet. So, take it away Quis.

Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Read Freakanomics a while ago. Saw Greenspan on the Daily Show hawking Age of Turbulance (not interested). I have been thinking of reading the Jungle Book. Shultz and Peanuts might be interesting (saw it on Amazon while looking for wrong answers). I probably need Martha's Homekeeping Handbook, but I doubt I'd even do one of the things she would say to do.
But I am reading The Supreme Court, an Essential History. I just finished reading about the Waite Court 1874-1888 and am starting the chapter on the Fuller Court 1888-1910.

It is, unfortunately, not Boston. I'd love to go back there and continue the Quislet, esq. high-speed walking tour of the city.

A) John Kerry, MA B) Dianne Feinstein, CA C) Daniel Akaka, HI D) Olympia Snowe, ME E) John Cornyn, TX F) Jim Jeffords, VT G) Hillary Clinton, NY H) John McCain, AZ I) Debbie Stabenow, MI J) Orrin Hatch, UT K) Joe Lieberman, CT L) John Ensign, NV M) Bob Menendez, NJ N) Jay Rockefeller, WV O) Mike Crapo, ID P) Russ Feingold, WI

Novelty, I'm on Fantasy Congress, too, but I really don't know much about it. I've got a group, but don't really know what I'm supposed to be doing...
Posted by Novelty on :
Nope to all the above.
KK: You don't have to do anything once you've picked your team (or if it was a league like mine, where the game auto-picked my team). You can bench and replace some of the players, but the only players worth replacing are the rookies, and those tend to be house members rather than senators. I dropped one of my rookies after a week because he wasn't performing, and replaced him with someone I don't really know, but the new guy seems good. If you really want to play with the system, track what are the issues coming up, make sure you have enough members with those issues so that you'd score high for their News and Maverick points. But that's too much work for me, since there are over 500 people to track...
Posted by Caliente on :
B) Dianne Feinstein, CA
(I voted for her! Not the other one, though. I don't like her.)
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
F) Jim Jeffords, VT

Posted by Novelty on :
I saw Kerry on ESPN today... but couldn't finish watching the live game at fenway I'll have to get the score from one of those online services later.
KK: Keep an eye out on your rookie and if he seems to be dragging your whole team down, trade him for someone better.
I thought I had Dianne Feinstein on my team. I don't. 3 out of the 4 senators on my team are female though... Keep on guessing.

Well, alrighty, then.
Which class am I taking, but *not* getting an "A" in, as of 15Oct07?
1. Elementary Spanish 2. Yoga 3. Women In Literature 4. Drawing And Composition 5. Survey of Special Education 6. Art History 7. Intro to Sociology 8. World Religions 9. Minority Groups in the Americas 10. Statistical Methods 11. Historical Geology 12. Elementary French
Posted by Caliente on :
6. Art History
(I suck at that one.)
Posted by KryptonKid on :
Caliente, right on the first guess! I have a 93% in that class, but the prof grades on a curve. Where's the justice, I ask you?
Posted by Caliente on :
I dunno! Grading is eeeevil, it is.
Okay, so I've recently become a rather large Simon Pegg fan. What's my favorite of his characters? (And, yes, I have seen all of these characters in action.)
a) Simon from Asylum b) Detector from We Know Where You Live c) Old Duff from We Know Where You Live d) Steve Bennett from I'm Alan Partridge e) Ray Purbbs from Hippies f) Tim Bisley from Spaced g) Dr. Russel Fell from Danger! 50,000 Volts! h) Shaun from Shaun of the Dead i) Nicholas Angel from Hot Fuzz Posted by Novelty on :
I have no idea who Simon Pegg is... but I'll guess:
d) Steve Bennett from I'm Alan Partridge
and I was so hoping KK was not getting an A in 2. Yoga - that would have been funny.
Posted by Caliente on :
You don't know Simon Pegg?? You must be living under a rock! Kidding. But Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead did get that cult following thing going on.
Anyway, nah, I didn't really dig Steve Bennett. That's more on Alan Partridge, who I find very offensive, than Simon, though. The guest spot was just sorta "eh".
Posted by Stealth on :
I'm not familiar with Simon Pegg either, but I'll guess this one because I think it has a cool title:
g) Dr. Russel Fell from Danger! 50,000 Volts!
Posted by Caliente on :
Gasp! You should definitely see Hot Fuzz (cop movie) and/or Shaun of the Dead (zombie flick) if you like British humor or buddy flicks at all. Oh, and Pegg's going to be Scotty in the new Trek flick. So if that's your cup of tea, keep an eye out.
Anyway. No, sadly, it was not Dr. Russel Fell, though that episode of Danger! was hilarious. He was playing an Australian zombie hunter (they had a zombie thing going on for a while, see) with his buddy Nick Frost. Cricky, his accent was ridiculous.
Posted by Stealth on :
I've been looking forward to the new Trek flick, so I'll see him there for sure.
Over-the-top Aussie accents do amuse me; when I was in junior high, I enjoyed this (very) short-lived action/sci-fi show called The Highwayman, with an Aussie called Jacko as the excitable sidekick to the strong, silent leading man, Sam J. "Flash Gordon" Jones.
Anyhow, here's my next guess:
e) Ray Purbbs from Hippies
I love it when the British make fun of hippies, like the character Neil in The Young Ones.
Posted by Caliente on :
Haha. Sadly, Ray Purbbs is actually one of my least favorite Pegg characters. Not because of him, I just didn't like the premise of the show that much. 'Cause they weren't making fun of hippies, exactly... more doing a sitcom set in the '60s with hippies. Or something. I dunno, it just didn't strike me.
Plus, I hated the hair. God, so much. It just wasn't right...
Posted by Novelty on :
i) Nicholas Angel from Hot Fuzz
Posted by Lance's realm on :
Move over, Novelty and Stealth - I don't know who Simon Pegg is either. That won't stop me from making a guess though...
c) Old Duff from We Know Where You Live
Posted by Caliente on :
*sniff* You people are breaking my heart! Watch some British TV/movies already! Or! Watch the episode of the new Doctor Who with The Editor... or Mission: Impossible III (he's Benji there) or Run, Fat Boy, Run or Big Nothing or The Good Night. Oh, and he had a small role in Band of Brothers. I just haven't seen any of those.
Anyway, sorry, Lance, but the Old Duff, while hilarious on the sketch show We Know Where You Live, is not my favorite. I did enjoy that character, though. He's so... old. It's really cute.
Sadly, Novelty, it wasn't Nick Angel, either. Hot Fuzz was the first Simon Pegg movie I ever saw (and he was sexy in it) and that's definitely a strong runner-up. He's just so serious and no-nonsense. I loved seeing him chase after swans and blow sh*t up. It was brilliant. Yay, British copper action flicks!
Edit: From the other page...

Sorry, KK, I did love the Detector sketches (they're rather hilarious with him, his partner and the house they always bust) but there wasn't anything especially distinctive about him there. They were just... cute.
But!! Novelty, it is Tim Bisley from Spaced. He was just so cute and a giant nerd. Seriously, giant. (Tee hee, he was fired once for hating Jar Jar Binks!) The whole show was just brilliant and I loved his hilarious skater, slacker almost-adult self.
Anyway, you're up, Novelty!

I recently highlighted my hair with a different colour. What is that artificial colour?
a) blonde b) electric blue c) lime green d) black e) maroon f) sky blue g) hazel h) strawberry blonde i) grey j) purple k) golden yellow l) platinum/white m) chestnut brown n) metallic pink
Posted by Caliente on :
God I hope I'm right:
c) lime green
Posted by KryptonKid on :
I'm banking on "highlighted" being literal:
l) platinum/white
Posted by Novelty on :
Erm... why would I want lime green hair? Vi looks horrible with it in the cartoon.
Nope, not white, although I did that... a few months ago just for the shock value. It was fun.

Here's my other hopeful:
n) metallic pink
Posted by Novelty on :
Well, I washed it off yesterday, but it wasn't electric blue or metallic pink. Just a deep shade of maroon which doesn't show up much unless under bright light. So Lance's realm, you're up next.
Posted by Lance's realm on :
OK, here we go. This question will be a bit different. I am currently reading through my entire comic collection more or less alphabetically. The question is, what title am I currently reading? Just guess a title and I will tell you whenther the title I am reading comes before or after it.
Hint: The title in question comes after Abadazad and before Zero Hour.

It comes before Villains United.

After Secret Society, and before Titans

Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes

That's it, KK.

Damn it, I was going to guess that! Seriously. But I thought if I was wrong it'd be too many in a row...

1) Astronaut 2) Cowboy 3) Thomas the Tank Engine 4) Boots the Monkey 5) Tarzan 6) Batman 7) a Care Bear 8) a soccer player 9) he doesn't want to dress up; he just wants lots of candy
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
4) Boots the Monkey
Because I have no idea who Boots the Monkey is.
Did a Google search. Now I know. And that's one to grow on.

13. Goldwater, Barry- (R - AZ)
Posted by Caliente on :
11. Boxer, Barbara- (D - CA)
She's a pitbull, you know.
Posted by Novelty on :
6. Bayh, Evan- (D - IN)
I'd vote for him if I was in Indy...
Posted by KryptonKid on :
13- Nope. Goldwater was a red herring. Fantasy Congress only uses current congressmen. "AuH2O" left the Senate in 1987 and died in 1998.
11- No, and I won't be voting for her, either.
6- Not so much...
That's three down.

Quis, you got it, the venerable Senior Senator from the First State.
Nov, my team was chosen for me. I'm not sure how to replace or I would dump Biden for his terrible attendance....

OK, let's see....
What was my favorite vegetable when I was a child?
1) Corn 2) Zucchini 3) Carrots (raw) 4) Carrots (cooked) 5) Green Beans 6) Potatoes 7) Cauliflower 8) Cucumbers 9) Celery
Posted by Caliente on :
3) Carrots (raw)
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
You are correct. I probably should have just put "carrots" and mention the raw part when it was answered. Oh well.
Posted by Caliente on :
Actually, that was just my favorite when I was a kid. I hated them cooked, though.
Anyway. My question: Who's my favorite Scrubs character? (You can go to Internet Movie Database for a list, if you don't know the show.)
Posted by Novelty on :
The janitory guy? Whatever his name is?
Posted by KryptonKid on :
Turk
Posted by Lad Boy on :
The one that used to be on some other show that I didn't watch either.
Posted by Caliente on :
Novelty-- He's listed as "Janitor" and, apparently, his real name will be revealed in the final episode. But, no, not him.
KK-- I like Turk but it's not him, either.
Lad Boy-- I have no idea who that is, so, um... no? I linked a list at IMDB if you wanna see the character names.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Jordan Sullivan
Posted by KryptonKid on :
Dr. Cox
Posted by Caliente on :
KK-- I love his rants but no. Not a favorite.
Quis-- You got it! I love it when she is all mean and steals Cox's masculinity. It's awesome.
I'm surprised no one guessed JD-- he's nearly my favorite. I like Zach Braff and, like, he's always falling and stuff. It amuses me. But the stuff with Kim knocked him down to #2 for me.
Anyway, Quislet, Esq., you're up!
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
JD just seemed to obvious to guess.
Let's see if I can ask a tougher question this time.
Ok what was my favorite flavor of ice cream when I was growing up?
1) Chocolate 2) Strawberry 3) Vanilla 4) Black Raspberry 5) Fudge Ripple 6) French Vanilla 7) Frozen Pudding 8) Lemon Sherbert 9) Mint Chocolate Chip 10) None, I am lactose intolerant
Posted by Caliente on :
6) French Vanilla
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Nope. I do like French Vanilla, but it wasn't my favorite.
Posted by KryptonKid on :
9) Mint Chocolate Chip
Posted by Caliente on :
5) Fudge Ripple
Posted by Novelty on :
2) Strawberry
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Calient got it on her second guess.
I loved fudge ripple. still do.
Posted by Caliente on :
Okay, what drink did I try for the first time last night?
a) Kamikaze b) Slippery Nipple c) California Gold Rush d) Adios Mother****er e) Haz Mat f) Vodka Collins g) Off Your Ass in a Glass h) Alabama Slammer i) I don't drink! Never! Not one drop! What are you implying?!
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
d) Adios Mother****er

g) Off Your Ass in a Glass

First guess was it! The drink was electric blue and crazy-- I couldn't even finish it!
Your go, Quis.

5) Orange
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Purple?
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
Green?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Green is my favorite color. Purple and red are very nice. Brown is OK. And yellow is nice.
Orange is my least favorite color. It is not as bright as yellow or as warm as red. And it would be my very last choice to paint something.

1Jan07 Slovenia became the 13th member of the 27-nation European Union to adopt the Euro as its currency. In two months, two more countries are due to enter the Euro Zone, but I am already looking farward. I'm impatient like that. Which country do I pin my hopes on getting the Euro in 2009?
1. Malta 2. Poland 3. Estonia 4. Norway 5. Denmark 6. Hungary 7. Romania 8. Cyprus 9. Turkey 10. Sweden 11. Slovakia 12. Czech Rep. 13. Greece 14. Latvia 15. Utopia
Posted by Caliente on :
5. Denmark 9. Turkey
Posted by KryptonKid on :
Actually, I was just looking for one answer. I didn't word it very well, but the 14th and 15th countries have already been detirmined. I'm anticipating the 16th, which is by no means certain.
The government of Denmark would love to adopt the Euro and have pegged the Danish Krone to it. However, a majority of the Danish people aren't ready for it, and Denmark is one of two EU countries (with UK) that are under no obligation to join the Euro Zone.
Turkey isn't a member of the EU yet, but hopes to join by 2015. It will be some years after that that they adopt the Euro as their currency.
Posted by Caliente on :
Oh! Sorry, my bad. Posted by KryptonKid on :
No, its all good. Guess again!!!
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
2. Poland
Posted by KryptonKid on :
No. Poland, with a large population and industrial economy, would be ideal, but first their government needs to learn how to budget responsibly. Maybe by 2014...?
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
The Czech Republic?
Posted by Caliente on :
11. Slovakia
Posted by KryptonKid on :
Slovakia is correct. Malta and Cyprus will join in Jan., and I'm counting on Slovakia soon after that. (Maybe I need a new hobby...?)
Go, Caliente!
Posted by Tamper Lad on :
16. The United States.
A return to the Bretton Woods system (this time with a reserve currency set as a weighted average basket of world currencies) and a pegging of the US dollar to the Euro would prevent a crazy fiscally undisciplined government from spending trillions on a war without end and tax cuts for the rich that just allow them to get more credit cards to import Lexuses and HDTVs exacerbating the balance of payments creating havoc all around the world.
Also the thought of the IMF and World Bank imposing an austerity program in Washington to maintain a peg as they've done all over the world for 60 years amuses me.
Posted by KryptonKid on :
OK, Tamper Lad, I guess you've provided me with a new hobby. Or reeeeeally complicated my old one...
Posted by Tamper Lad on :
I couldn't resist a free shot at the richest country in the world without some level of universal government paid healthcare and national paid maternity and yet seems to have tons of money for other endeavours of much less utility.

Hmm, okay. So far, who is my least favorite of Levitz's Legionnaires? a) Blok b) Brainiac 5 c) Chameleon Boy d) Colossal Boy e) Cosmic Boy f) Dawnstar g) Dream Girl h) Element Lad i) Karate Kid j) Light Lass k) Lightning Lad l) Mon-El m) Phantom Girl n) Princess Projectra o) Saturn Girl p) Shadow Lass q) Shrinking Violet r) Star Boy s) Superboy t) Sun Boy u) Timber Wolf v) Ultra Boy w) Wildfire

Okay. That was a list of twenty-three-- twenty-three-- and you got it on the first try. I just don't understand Tinya yelling at Gim over... nothing. She seems cruel for no reason.
Anyway. Your go, KK.
Posted by KryptonKid on :
Levitz wrote PG as shotty & cliquish, which appealed to my gay sensibilities, but would get on a fem's nerves. An educated guess only.
No, I used to drive a Saturn, but the rings made it impossible to find a parking space.
Posted by Novelty on :
well, as long as you aren't driving people up the wall...
11. 300ZX
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
8. Ram

...or to drink. No, but I used to covet the 300ZX.
The bf drives the Ram Truck on the weekends, not me.
Posted by Caliente on :
1. Nova
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
3. Comet
Posted by KryptonKid on :
Caliente- No, but that was a brilliant guess.
Quis- And risk being called Comet Queen??? No way!
Posted by Novelty on :
I'd like to drive a Taurus, so I'd go with it:
5. Taurus
Posted by Lad Boy on :
Suburu -- excellent for hauling tofu and/or lesbians.
Posted by Novelty on :
Heh

Posted by Novelty on :

Wow, the answer is actually a combination of both Novelty's and Lad Boy's. It is a Taurus that I bought from tofu-eating, our-dog-is-our-offspring lesbians. But, Taurus is the answer. It's yours, Novie!

Posted by Lad Boy on :
5. Cartoon Legion (Season 1)
Posted by KryptonKid on :
1. preboot Legion (because that's what I have)
Taurus handles great and gets pretty good mileage. Very reliable vehicle.
:tizzlesunderwater:
Posted by Caliente on :
7. Blighted Legion (Because that's a friendly image to come back to... )
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
4. SW6 Legion
Posted by Novelty on :
The cartoon Legion didn't really do much for me... Not preboot either... I hated Olivier's blighted Legion. The SW6 were too cardboard...
Guess again?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
10. JSA
Posted by Caliente on :
2. reboot Archie Legion
Posted by Novelty on :
Don't have JSA on this machine, but I had the recent JSA Starman on my work machine. There aren't any good Archie Legion group images that I'd want to look at when the machine reboots. So no.
If at first you don't succeed, guess again?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
12. Outsiders
Posted by Caliente on :
11. Teen Titans
Posted by Novelty on :
Not Outsiders, not Teen Titans.
Posted by KryptonKid on :
3. reboot DnA Legion
Posted by Novelty on :
Nope, not that either. Although I like the Gail run images though.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
9. JLA
Posted by KryptonKid on :
8. three boot Legion
:tizzlesaflame:

Novelty got it first time out. My sister made some last Christmas. I still didn't like it.
Everything else I really really like.

It's funny, but the Strawberries and Cream thing just jumped out of the page because they were so different than everything else. Don't ask me to define the "different" in the previous statement because I don't think I can.

G. It's my father's best friend's name.
(or "VII. It was the name of the hottub.")
Posted by Lad Boy on :
C. It's my mother's brother's name.

I should mention that I also had at least two granduncles named John, but I was not named after them.

Supergirl and the Legion of Super-Heroes #36?
Posted by Novelty on :
No to Action 859 and S&LSH36. Sorry Quis, but Countdown is a bit vague...
Posted by Caliente on :
Legion of Super-Heroes in the 31st Century #8
Posted by Novelty on :
Nope, not LSH31C 8.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Countdown has Karate Kid & Una (the sole surviving body of Triplicate girl) But I am guessing that's not it if you didn't know.
New guess: X-Men - Emperor Vulcan

Countdown #22, maybe?
Posted by Novelty on :
Quis: I was after an issue number KK: nope, not 22.
Posted by KryptonKid on :
Countdown #23?

"The Legion of Super-Heroes: Eye For An Eye TP"

And I thought this would have been easy...
Posted by Caliente on :
b) Supergirl & the Legion of Superheroes #34
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
A) Supergirl & the Legion of Superheroes #35
When you said that the comic had a "version of the Legion" in it, I think we all assumed some comic that wasn't the official book.
Posted by Novelty on :
Well, I guessed you assumed wrong. Cali guessed #36 a while back... I said a "version of the Legion" just to widen the net a bit I guess, although the answers you guys were coming up stopped being funny as you got further from the "official" book.
Oh, you're up next Quis.

Why did you take a cab to the emergency room? Can't be because you were preggies
A Andrew Jackson? (aka $20)
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
I took a cab because the subway wasn't running at the time (2 am), I don't have a car or know someone near by who does, and it wasn't so bad that I could call an ambulance.
It cost me less than $20.00 though.
Posted by Caliente on :

It cost more than $10.00

$15.00 is what I paid. The fare was $10.75 It would have been $10.00 but the driver went pass the entrance and had to turn around.

I currently have a Brian K. Vaughn Vertigo publication on my desk.
What is it? I'll give useless and/or insightful clues as your ridiculously inept guessing proceeds.

Pride of Bagdad?

Quis got it right on the first guess. Ex machina is with a co-worker and Y is at home.
Your turn, Quis.

Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Not the bag of Twizzlers and the cheap DVDs. I was the one who gave that two years ago.
Krypton Kid is correct.
I still have some of the Old Spice left. It seems like the bottle does not run out. Also because I don't have a car, I gave away the ice scraper glove.
