The “Oprano Lounge Tribute to Obscure Trivia” Game!
 

In keeping with the Lounge’s dedication to provide frivolity and totally purposeless time killing, we are having a game! The rules are somewhat convoluted; the questions bring new definition to the phrase “off the wall;” the only thing simple is the prize. The winner of the game will receive a $25 Amazon.com gift certificate! (You can’t buy content with that.)



The Rules:

• Each day I will post a question. The questions will require a bit of research to answer, but the answers can be found.
• The first person to answer correctly wins 3 points. The second to answer wins 2 points; the third wins 1 point. What’s that you say? The second and third persons only have to copy/paste the correct answer? Good. You’re paying attention. You know that old saying “never cheat off the kid who’s dumber than you are”? All you’re going to know is that someone has posted “an” answer. You’re not going to know whether or not it’s the *correct answer,* ‘cuz I’m staying mum. So, don’t hit that copy/paste thing so quickly. Once you’ve answered it, you’ve *answered* it! No second chances, no cheating by hitting the “edit post” button. Do the research! The first person to post an answer just might have posted the *wrong* answer! To the one in the back row waving his hand: would I be so sneaky as to have a shill deliberately post the wrong answer? Of course not. That doesn’t mean somebody else might be so tempted!
• There are 10 of the weirdest questions in the world. One for each day for 11 days. OK, we pause now while some of you try and catch up and figure out the math doesn’t work. What’s the 11th day for? To make sure everyone has had a chance to see the questions and to give me time to deal with the logistical nightmare of a notebook page I’ve created for myself.
• The questions will be posted at different times of the day to give our global crowd a fair shot at being first to read the question.
• Ah, the guy in the back row again: no, the question does *not* have to be answered on the day it’s posted. So, there’s still time to win any remaining points, be there any. If you all want to wait and go berserk on the 11th day and post all of your answers, g’head. I wouldn’t recommend it, but I serve imaginary beverages in here, so what do I know.
• The guy in the back row is starting to bug. What if he has a question, he asks. Go post it on gfy, I tell him. He starts to stand up and I speak harshly. If you have a question, post it here. (Don’t post “can we have a hint?” because I will mock you severely. *sigh* Control yourself, Trev. This means you.)
• Why are we doing this? someone shouts out. (I hate that.) We’re doing it because it’s silly, it’s fun, and it’s in keeping with the purpose of the Lounge. You get a break from work while you play the game; the winner gets a further break from work browsing to buy a DVD or CDs or whatever; and even further breaks waiting for, receiving, and enjoying the purchase. (The winner is also free to mock the losers and proclaim his/herself “The Champion,” which can be fun until they all turn on you.)

Rules, Part Deux:

Something just occured to me. For multi-part questions, please don't post partial answers. :)

This game is sponsored by Written Temptations!

I am the *only* one who knows the questions and anwers. :)

Question #1
 

In the television show “The Wild, Wild West,” (US 1965-1969):

· What was the *full* name (first, middle, last) of Jim West’s arch-enemy?
· What was the vehicle on which they traveled, and what was its name?

Re: The “Oprano Lounge Tribute to Obscure Trivia” Game!
 

Jim West's arch-enemy was Doctor Miguelito Quixote Loveless.

Jim West and Artemus Gordon travelled by rail in a private coach named The Nimrod.

Re: The “Oprano Lounge Tribute to Obscure Trivia” Game!
 

Kick some ass Toby!

Re: The “Oprano Lounge Tribute to Obscure Trivia” Game!
 

spot on and good luck to one and all

Re: The “Oprano Lounge Tribute to Obscure Trivia” Game!
 

so wait... am I the second or third to answer? The rules say nothing about quoting... just copy and paste :P

I know I know i'm being a dick but hey... I like to win

I love games... they're great

Re: The “Oprano Lounge Tribute to Obscure Trivia” Game!
 

You can copy and paste if you want, you get nothing for second though ;)

Re: The “Oprano Lounge Tribute to Obscure Trivia” Game!
 

I wish I could play. I love trivia, and that was one of my favorite shows as a kid. I know the answer, but I'm not saying a word. :)

Re: The “Oprano Lounge Tribute to Obscure Trivia” Game!
 

READ THE RULES!!

You are wrong on this matter. he DOES get points and so does third place!! :)

Re: The “Oprano Lounge Tribute to Obscure Trivia” Game!
 

I think he meant an ultimate prize at the end

My question however, was does the quote function act the same as a copy and paste?

is gonzo the second person to answer? or am I?

Re: The “Oprano Lounge Tribute to Obscure Trivia” Game!
 

Oh, goodie. I didn't think I'd get to mock people quite so soon! :yowsa:

Gonzo was not playing. He quoted toby in order to place his congratulatory post.

No, you do *not* have to quote whoever you elect to copy/paste. In fact, please don't. That just makes it confusing for me, and I'm confused enough already.

TheEnforcer...:inlove: :inlove: Posting "read the rules" in all caps is considered foreplay around here. :)

So...as it stands now...first one to post *an* answer was Toby. Second to post *an* answer was Bhelliom.

I am so very happy! :happy45:

Re: The “Oprano Lounge Tribute to Obscure Trivia” Game!
 

Now wait a minute. I just assumed Mods couldn't play. If I had known I could play I would have.
So since we've only had 2 answers ane the rules say points for the first three.
My answer is Carry On.
Which by the way were some of the funniest movies of my childhood.

Re: The “Oprano Lounge Tribute to Obscure Trivia” Game!
 

I'm not going for the points, I just want to play :D

Re: The “Oprano Lounge Tribute to Obscure Trivia” Game!

I don't think I like how these questions are timed to go up AFTER I go home.

Re: Question #3
 

Comedy + UK = 8 legged idiot (oxymoron) :yowsa:

Re: The “Oprano Lounge Tribute to Obscure Trivia” Game!
 

The rules state "Mods who have a handle that begins with the letter 'R' and end with the letter 'd' are not eligible for anything, anytime, anywhere" :blink:


(ands don't blame me, I didn't make the rules, I only misquote them freely :yowsa: )

Re: The “Oprano Lounge Tribute to Obscure Trivia” Game!
 

It is a vast Oprano conspiracy :yowsa:

Re: The “Oprano Lounge Tribute to Obscure Trivia” Game!
 

OH... I know... and believe me... I'll be sorting this out :P
