Quiz answer #10, and the Proud winner is

Fist of all, here are the answers:
-Who of Marge's sisters has triangular shaped earrings? (1p)
-Selma goes for round earrings mostly, and Patty has triangles.

-Sideshow Bob has a brother. What is his name? (1p)
-Cecil Terwilliger.

-What magazine did Milhouse order when he and Bart took care of the comic book store? (1p)
-He orders a thousand copies of 'Biclops' in the Worst eposide ever, as it is called.

-What crop did the family grow at the farm? (1p)
-It was Tomacco, a tomato/tobacco hybrid that tasted awful but was highly addictive.

-And last but not least: In the movie, Marge makes several variations of 'home sweet home' embroideries. You get 0.5 points for each version you can tell me.
-I have not yet watched the movie so I am not one hundred per cent certain of this, but I know that she makes at least a  'Dome sweet Dome' and a 'Nome sweet Nome' version.


And the winner is.... cmh, who came on the outside in the last curve and overtook m with half a point on the finish line - wheeeee!!!!  And there were much rejoicement. The price was a book was it not? Name your poison and I will see to it that it is sent to a mailbox close to you. If you can not decide I will send you one of my favourites.

That's all for now folks. Maybe there will be a new quiz one day. Thank you for playing, hope you enjoyed it!

Quiz answer #9

Of course it was M*A*S*H I was asking about, and first of all: Radar had an uncle that could make binoculars out of corn on the cob/salt and pepper shakers/or just about anything, whose name was Ed. Radar left the show with a hardship discharge so that he could go home and help his mother with the farm when Ed suddenly passed away. 

Major Houlihan got the nickname hotlips after hawkeye and the other guys snuck a microphone into her tent when she was making out with a general (I think it was a general), and then proceeded to broadcast the interchange over the PA system. The general commented on her hot lips and the name stuck.

Charles Emerson Winchester III. The major who got stuck in the 'festering sewer' ('Know this: You can cut me off from the civilized world, you can incarcerate me with two moronic inmates, you can torture me with your thrice daily swill, But you can not break the spirit of a Winchester. My voice shall be heard from this wilderness and I shall be delivered from this fetid and festering sewer') after a gaming debt of 672$ and 17c that his boss at Tokyo general owed him.

The booze that Klinger managed to scrounge up for Charles was a bottle of Napoleon Cognac. Which he refuses to share with Klinger with the comment 'when the delivery boy brings you a new divan you do not invite him to repose upon it'. (I will give one point for Cognac).

Someone recently told me that I have watched far to much of that series, but I hardly think so.

Soon the last question is upon us, and I do believe it will be from a couple of different movies... (Or maybe it will be Simpsons. Yes, I really feel that it needs to be from Simpsons.)

Quiz answer #8

First rule: 'You don't talk about fightclub'
Second rule: 'You don't talk about fightclub'

A friend supplied to you by the airline company for the duration of the flight: A Single-serving friend.

And finally Bob. The huge guy with the huge bitch tits but without testicles. He was portrayed, quite well I might add, by none other than Meatloaf himself. 

Quiz answer #7

It turns out that the question was not all that easy after all. Well, what do you know...

Kramers christian name is of course Cosmo!
The ones doing the nasty in Jerrys van (he had it in one episode), were Georges parents!
And finally, George got the job at the Jankies by following his new found religion: doing the opposite of what I would usually do.

cmh probably spent the last few days watching the entire series as he scored three points. Next: One of my favorite movies. 

Quiz answer #6

I think the cure for his wrecked nerves was something like 'take of your shoes and make fists with your toes on the rug'. But I will accept 'curl your toes' as some of you wrote.
The president was Chester A Arthur. It was an intricate part of the third movie as it led Mclain to the school with the big bomb made out of jam?/syrup?.
And there are a couple of different ways to solve the puzzle. e.g.
1: fill the 3g jug
2: pour the 3g into the 5g jug
3: fill the 3g jug again
4: fill up the 5g jug with the water in the 3g jug until it is full (now there is 1g left in the 3g jug)
5: empty the 5g jug
6: pour the 1g into the 5g jug
7: fill the 3g jug and pour that into the 5g jug (which now should contain 4g)

No-one got all the answers (the president was the hard one).
New question tomorrow.

Quiz answer #5

Ok, so I couldn't the answer to this one, but I thought that I would watch the movie to get it. But then I could not find it on my computer, nor among the cd's. So I were quite convinced that I could find it in the storage room in the cellar, on vhs. Said and done, I went down there moved around all the boxes searching for the video player and tapes. Upon finding them I proceeded to carry it all up-stairs, then I spent twenty minutes searching for a power cord and a scart cable, found one but not the other.. Then I started to look through the tapes to locate the film. But of course could not find it. Hence I had to google for the scrpt (sorry, now tage wants to take an active role in the typing, so there mi''ght be more errors than usual... )

All this said, this is what Brian wrote:
"Romanes Eunt Domus" - 'People called Romanes they go the house'
while the correct grammar would be
"Romani Ite Domum" - 'Romans go home'

Many creds to mjn who almost nailed it (had 'Romani' instead of 'Romanes' in the first line) and gets two points. m were close enough for the bad grammar version and gets one point.

Quiz answer #4

As the once who answerd (except cmh) said, 'han shot first' is just what he did in the mos eisley bar in the original part IV of star wars. But this was changed in the remastered version so that Greedo shot first, probably to make Han look more like a good guy. Pure nerd trivia!

by the way, no more questions until the mellandagar...

Quiz answer #3

Dr Jan Itor. How hard was that? And the name of his made up a cappella band was 'the Hibbletons', which none of you got. The response rate was low on this one, and the correct answers were even lower. Don't you watch Scrubs people?

Quiz answer #2

Rosebud has of course been mentioned in many movies, but there is one that revolves around the word, a real classic that I recommend to one and all.

Citizen Kane, Orson Welles 1941 classic, where a reporter tries to find out what Kane's dying word 'Rosebud' referred to. And in the end scene (spoiler alert) we get to see how they burn Kane's childhood sled named Rosebud.

I am quite pleased with the participation, with the quality of the responses, but not with the prize. Maybe the winner will get a book instead.
By the way, do you want to have a break over the holiday or should we continue but with a longer response time? Your input matters!

Quiz answer #1

Hard eeyy? It should be hard, it is hard and it will continue to be hard. Hope you will enjoy it.

Anyhow, it was from Pulp Fiction of course, it is Jules that pulls up a quote from Hezekiel 25/17 before he kills someone. And one of the unfortunates he tells it to is Brett, whos burger from Big Kahuna - that Hawaiian burger joint, Jules takes a bite from.

m guessed right on Hezekiel but missed the chapter and verse, and gets one point for that, and one for the burger place.
Dog got big Kahuna right.
