I bask in your profound grasp of history. If I chop your head off, will I absorb all of your knowledge?!
Keep going tho… you can get into the positive, others have done it, so it can be done!!!
c, baby, you absolutely must get yourself over to Cafe Society and contribute to the Sopranos thread.
You know your love of the show cinches it for us, right?
Well, duh. How do you think I ever learned anything :p?
Hmmm…
What is the largest land predator in Madagascar? I’ll accept “it’s some sort of __” for 2 pts or the actual name for 3. If you’ve taken a kid to the right animated film recently, this one might not be too hard.
What’s the smartest ( loosely defined ) mollusc? 2 pts.
What was the colonial-era “French and Indian War” called back in Europe ( where it was part of a wider struggle )? 2 pts.
What was “the Spanish Main?” I think Cecil did this one, once :D. 3 pts.
Who were the New Jersey capos that backed Tony Soprano in season one, in his bid to make Junior Soprano a figurehead “acting boss?” There were three, one is still alive - one point per.
Name three Frank Zappa albums. one point per.
- Tamerlane
I’ll definitely chime in… and yes, we’re meant for each other! I just love it when television brings two people together.
I can’t believe it; just a few minutes ago I was wondering if you were done with this thread (or had a life to lead). And here you are!
That “Anthony and Carmella” answer, that was cute.
I’m afraid you give my brain way too much credit!
-
Penguins! (kidding). Doh! They were “some sort of” mongoose thing that ate lemurs.
-
I’ll go with Snails, for $1000, Alex. (too easy… isn’t it?)
-
weeps in shame in a corner
-
snot filled snort, and more weeping
-
Pussy, Pauly, and GAH! I don’t even know if those are right… that was like 8 years ago!
-
Not a Zappa fan
Yeh… still alive. But I’m afraid this thread barely has a pulse anymore. Had to catch up on all the work I’ve put off because of this thread. sigh… back to work!
Well, when this thread dies down completely, just remember, “We’ll always have Paris.”*
- What movie is that from and which character said it to which other character (you’re allowed to google this one)?
No need… Casablanca. Well, maybe I need… I know it was Humphrey Bogart to Ingrid Bergmen.
Welp… if ya need me… just whistle.
Rick Blaine said it to Ilsa Lund. 3 points, all the same.
C, I’ve got a job to do, too.* Where I’m going you can’t follow. What I’ve got to do you can’t be any part of. C, I’m no good at being noble, but it doesn’t take much to see that the problems of two little Dopers don’t amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you’ll understand that. Now, now… Here’s looking at you, kid.
*I’m at work too.
Have been busy the last few days, and now it seems I’m too late. Hmpfff…
It’s been fun, cmyk!
Sorry for the delayed response. It’s been a long day.
wendigo1974, thank you for your corrections! CMYK, my apologies for short-changing your point balance.
Let see…so far, my/CMYK’s score is at +49. Woohoo!
This has been a very fun and educational thread. I wouldn’t mind doing this again.
It has been fun and edutainmentable! Thanks everyone who participated and we must do this again sometime. Special thanks to Puzzler, twopiecesofeight, Tamerlane, fachverwirrt, sturmhauke, and… of course, 5-4 Fighting who stuck in there to the bitter end.
Maybe…
just maybe…
It’s someone elses’ turn?
Caine’s real name is Maurice (pronounced Morris, not Maw-reese) Micklewhite. As the linked article mentions, he took his stage name from a movie marquee which was advertising The Caine Mutiny.
I enjoyed this thread, and kept meaning to ask some questions of my own. I’ll be happy to contribute to another such challenge should anyone wish to begin one.
I would love to see some of your questions. I’m sure cmyk would too. You’ve made quite a contribution already with your observations (and causing me to be more careful with my As and Qs). I haven’t submitted anymore questions yet because I wanted to give other people a chance.
Well… I’m still here if we wanna keep going…
