The “Oprano Lounge Tribute to Obscure Trivia” Game!

MorganGrayson · 08-08-2005

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.

MorganGrayson · 08-08-2005

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?

Toby · 08-09-2005

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.

Kick some ass Toby!

Newton · 08-09-2005

spot on and good luck to one and all

Bhelliom · 08-09-2005

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

Newton · 08-09-2005

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

READ THE RULES!!

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

Red · 08-09-2005

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.

Bhelliom · 08-09-2005

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?

MorganGrayson · 08-09-2005

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

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...

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!

MorganGrayson · 08-09-2005

On the television show “Gilligan’s Island,” (US 1964-1967) what were the first and last names of the following characters (the *characters,* not the actors):

Correct Bhelliom

You get the 2 points

TE nil pois lol

Red · 08-10-2005

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.

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"

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

)

I take care if I were you, sarettah.
The woman is liable to take a deep break and put your eye out or something.

MorganGrayson · 08-10-2005

I'm trying to post the questions at various times of the day to give everyone an equal shot. However, I'm having a great deal of trouble determining exactly what time of day it is.

Yes, I have a clock, but it's analog and hence, it could be AM, it could be PM, it could be Q...who knows at this point....

That only happens if someone is shorter than me (which excludes all but children and midgets), or if they are sitting down. Otherwise my method of retalliation is a punch right to the groin, since thats just in my reach.

You listening Sar? Unless you want to singing soprano instead of watching them, don't mess with the short kid.

......little hands and Little eyes They walk around Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses And tiny little teeth They wear platform shoes On their nasty little feet
They got little baby legs That stand so low You got to pick 'em up Just to say hello
They got little cars That go beep, beep, beep They got little voices Goin' peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers And dirty little minds......

Bhelliom · 08-10-2005

Question 2
The Skipper: Jonas Grumby
The Professor: Roy Hinkley
Mrs Howell: Lovey Howell

Question 3

Carry on

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

Carry On

Those movies were really funny!

Bhelliom · 08-10-2005

That's ok Morgan. I forgive you.

And by the way I'm still working on that golf package for you when I have time.

MorganGrayson · 08-10-2005

Bhelliom...

MorganGrayson · 08-10-2005

To review, Trev is a mod and playing for the amusement value of the whole thing.

Therefore, he is *not* getting points for his answers.

Make sure to examine the questions and the posted answers, do the research and post your answer...just in case there are unclaimed points floating around anywhere.

MorganGrayson · 08-10-2005

Carmine Caridi, Warren Beatty, Alain Delon, Burt Reynolds, Robert Redford, Jack Nicholson, Dustin Hoffman, Ryan O'Neal, Robert De Niro and Martin Sheen were all up for a role that director Francis Ford Coppola insisted go to a little known, Tony Award winning Broadway actor. What is the name of the actor and the character he played?

It just wouldn't be cricket if I was playing to win, plus having to edit all the other peoples answers would become a royal pain in the backside

Evil Chris · 08-10-2005

Al Pacino for the part of Michael Corleone.

I think I even saw that on Biography a couple weeks ago.

Trev · 08-10-2005

Al Pacino playing Michael Corleone

Bhelliom · 08-11-2005

Khartoum

Bhelliom · 08-11-2005

or did you mean the "actors name"?

Trev · 08-11-2005

Khartoum was the horses name and it cost $600,000 (in the film that is)

Bhelliom · 08-12-2005

John wayne = marion morrison
Cary grant = Archibald Alexander Leach
Bette davis = Ruth Elizabeth Davis
John Barrymore = John Blythe

Bhelliom · 08-12-2005

what a stupid girly name for THE cowboy... john wayne... disappointing

Bhelliom · 08-12-2005

So... now that we're half way through this little shindig.... can we have a score update?
