Made-Up, False and Flat-out Wrong Trivia Dominoes

In the late 1930s, Shakespeare’s ghost was credited as the inspiration for Casper the Friendly Ghost, a character created by Seymour Reit and Joe Oriolo. Joe Oriolo said the idea came to him in a dream after eating too many cookies before bedtime.

When asked why Perry White exclaims, “Great Caesar’s Ghost,” instead of, say, Shakespeare’s, writer Jerry Siegel was heard to say, “Why are you still here? I called Security 20 minutes ago. Get the Hell outta my office, Stan!”

After being banned from the DC comics offices, Stan Musial would take a long walk pass the St. Louis Cardinal stadium, and on a lark, try out for the team.

In papal elections the person receiving the highest number of votes from the College of Cardinals becomes the Bishop of Rome/Pontifex Maximus/Holy Papa/The Pope. The person who receives the second most votes receives a set of steak knives and a parish in a Louisiana trailer park that is still half submerged from Katrina. Third highest number of votes: you’re excommunicated.
The strictness comes from Pope Inigo VII Montoya’s admonition to Always Be Canonizing.

Indigo Phartuccio started life as a poor Italian peasant boy, making a living from picking up pieces of discarded clothing and using decaying fruit to turn them into unique colors. He would later become Pope and take the name of the color named after him, only leave out the “D” as he believe it stood for Devil.

That’s house Indigo became Pope Inigo VII Montoya

Inigo VII Montoya once excommunicated every employee of every Pizza Hut for ignoring his order that anchovies were the only meat allowed on pizzas on Friday unless you had a papal indulgence.

Inigo VII Montoya now renders unto God what is God’s and unto Little Caesar what is Little Caesar’s (PIZZA, PIZZA)

Little Caesar’s crazy bread’s original recipe included massive doses of lead. Lead poisoning would drive you crazy. In many instances, it drove shopkeepers to slash prices. They say Crazy Gideon grew up eating only crazy bread.

“Gideon” is Latin for “little Bible”.

Inigo VII Montoya left the priesthood for a while to investigate the workings of Criminal Minds, taking the name “Jason Gideon.”

“Jason Gideon,” translated from Latin, means “Fat Tony.”

Fat Tony has killed everyone who ever called him that to his face, yet everyone still calls him Fat Tony.

Fat Tony’s wife is also called Fat Tony, which gets confusing. Her full name is Marie Antoinette Bean-Petrocelli Gideon. Their children are named Antonio, Antonia, Tonette, and Loni Anderson, but are known by their nicknames Little Fat Tony, Big Little Tony, Oblong Tony, and Loni Anderson.

Fat Tony also kills anyone who calls him Mandy Patemkin, but not by his nom de voix Joe Mantegna

The five tea plants native to Vietnam are all very dangerous. The brew made from the leaves of these plants kills anyone who drinks it. However the round bristles from the same plants can be steeped into a harmless and delicious oolong concoction loved by true aficionados of the hot beverage. There is safe tea in Nam burrs.

Booooo!!! :slight_smile:

The Welsh regional premiere of MISS SAIGON featured breakout star Dwenwyn Ferch Nguyen Nguyen, daughter of a former Mr. Vietnam and an unnamed lady coal miner and one time Doctor Who extra. A huge success, it’s initial limited run was extended to a full three nights, though instead of the helicopter that lands onstage in the Broadway and London versions they went with a 1967 El Camino that parked at the theater’s back entrance and blew its horn really loud.

The 1967 El Camino is revered throughout the cornfields of the Boston art world as the premier shining example of MotoKitsch, a Kult of Kunst so contrived and obscure that it had to have its 15 minutes of coolness, mainly reflected in the personae of its three auteurs: Jay-J Phartuccio, Kay-K Kardashian and, of course, Orson Bean.

Kris Kardashian’s nickname for her then husband Bruce Jenner was “Kay-K Kardashian.”

According to Wright Bleriot Glenn Armstrong Gagarin-Phartuccio’s noted reference book Hollywood Haberdashery, Bruce Jenner never had monogrammed handkerchiefs made consistent with his wife’s nickname for him, “Kay-K Kardashian,” due to the unfortunate alternate meaning of the initials.

Yuri Gagarin was actually a woman, and was born in North Korea.
