WOOOHOOOOO!
Yes, that’s right. I won.
What? Oh, I won the movie trivia call-in contest on the local classic rock station this morning. They’ve been doing Star Wars questions the last few days.
The question was (not verbatim):
Yoda’s voice sounded familiar because Frank Oz, who provided his voice, also provided the voice for which Muppet on Sesame Street?
The first caller (she beat me!) said, “Elmo?”
Sheesh.
So I promptly called again, and the DJ took my call. He repeated the question and I said…
“That would be Grover.”
Yes! Yes! Yes!
You see, Grover was my favorite Muppet when I was a wee lad.
So, I won One Million Dollars!
Okay, I’m lying. I won a free movie pass to the local theater. Maybe I’ll go see Revenge of the Sith again.
Was this post pointless enough for this forum? I don’t get to this board too often, cuz I spend most of my time in GQ and CS.
Winning the movie question contest sort of made up for my not knowing the answer to the “Morning Lick” contest earlier in the day. For that contest, the DJ plays a half-second clip from a well-known song, and you have to identify the exact artist and title of the song. It’s very difficult. If nobody gets it, the DJ plays the “extended lick”, which is one second long, and from the exact same point in the song. If still nobody gets it, he plays two seconds worth. Anyway, this morning’s song turned out to be “Limelight” by Rush. And despite being the biggest Rush fan in my town, I couldn’t figure it out. How embarrassing.
But I won the movie contest! WOOOHOOOO!
