Senator James Webb was elected in Virginia in large measure because opponent George Allen used the allegedly racist expression “macaca.”

It would be difficult to classify the movies as horror movies, although that is an aspect to them. I will say no, because they could be better classified in a different genre.

Not a Chiefs fan. DQ.

I’m not John Wesley, John Wetton, James Watt , Jerry West, John Williams, still not John Williams, Joe Walsh, Johnny Weissmuller, Jonathan Winters, Jane Wiedlin.

Wow. My first Botticelli attempt and I won. Sadly, I must decline any wonderful prizes coming my way, as Marley23 beat me to the punch in Post #27. Screaming “slut!!!” whenever Janet appears on screen is a time honored part of the audience partici\*-SAY IT\*-pation ritual. Or at least it was back in the late 70s-mid 80s, which was the last time I saw RHPS in a midnight screening.

I will step aside, and let Marley23 claim the victory.

Thanks very much, **ChockFullOfHeadyGoodness**. The last time I went to RHPS was over the winter, and the tradition of yelling “Asshole,” “Slut” and a million other things is very much alive. This is my first time playing this game, too, but I’ll get into future rounds for sure.

Not having been to a RHPS midnight showing in 25 years, I didn’t know any of the audience participation stuff except for maybe tossing pieces of toast. I looked up the script and didn’t see any mention of slut, so I had to say I dunno.
