Lee's BIG BIG BIG Quiz Thread

[Colleens_Husband]

Okay you asked for it. You do realize that I used to be a teacher. Anyways, this weeks quiz will be a fun one. All you have to do is match the silly thing a famous person said with the famous person that said it. Look for the list of silly people below the quotes.

The next quiz after this will be on the subject of Seinfeld.

8. Seinfeld ranked No. 1 in the ratings for each episode of it's entire final season. Only two other shows share that distinction. What were the shows?

Good Luck everyone!!

[Gerri]

YAY, Seinfeld!! Good job Lee, some of these are tough. These answers are off the top of my head - I hope I get them right! I'll be back with more later.

5. Jerry's first name was Jerome

11. George Costanza was modeled after Larry David

22. Kramer's first name is Cosmo


And remember, most of life can be traced to a Seinfeld episode!

[Colleens_Husband]

Gerri:

Superb effort! All eleven of you answers are correct. There are still eleven left to go. Two blue stars and three smiley faces for you.

Lee

[PinkGirl]

1. Jerry's address is 129 West 81st. Street
New York (Manhatten) Apt. 5A

4. George wasn't in the "The Pen" from the 3rd season.

7. Elaine is from Towson, Maryland, a suburb of Baltimore.
She moved to New York in 1986

[PinkGirl]

16. The serial killer name is Joel Rifkin

17. Larry David did the voice.

[Gerri]

PinkGirl, once again we are in this together.

2. The name of the orignal script was "Stand Up"

18. Bob Sacamano was Kramer's "unseen" friend

19. Kramer went on strike against H & H Bagels


As the Soup Nazi would say, "NEXT!" :)

[PinkGirl]

8. I Love Lucy and The Andy Griffiths Show


9. This is a guess .... because it was a show about nothing.

[Gerri]

Pink,

I thought the same thing about #9, but this is what I found:

Jason Alexander told Jerry Seinfeld the "audience for this show is me and I don't watch t.v."

I think the only one left is:

3. Jerry's apt 5A (PinkGirl answered this in #1), Kramer's 5B

[Colleens_Husband]

Good job everybody! The only thing that got missed was that Jerry's apartment was 3A for a few episodes.

So any ideas for the next quiz?

[PinkGirl]

What do Mona Lisa, Queen Elizabeth l, and Andibb
all have in common?

[Colleens_Husband]

Okay Pink Girl:

Could it be famous ship wrecks?

Could it be nom-de-plumes you have used on other forums?

Could it be towns where Bill is in the process of moving to?

Tell me I'm right!

Lee

[Gerri]

Pink Girl,

You have completely thrown me with "andibb". After much searching, and not finding anything, I starting thinking about what it could mean. Are you referring to our own Andrea Barnett Budin as andibb?

If so, my guess is the month of September (I can actually explain the "connection" I made - well, sort of). If andibb is something else can we have another clue?

[Colleens_Husband]

Be careful when searching for AndiBB on Google. There are some sites that made me blush!

[juanita]

must have really been bad if it made you blush.

[PinkGirl]

Lee, I'm sorry but those answers are incorrect. But I will be sure to mention to andibb that you think of her as a shipwreck!

Gerri, yes I am referring to our Andrea Budin as andibb. I can see
a bit of a September connection, but that's not what I'm looking
for.

I want you all to know that I have andibb's permission to ask
this trivia question and that she has a great sense of humour!!!

I will give you some clues later if no one answers correctly.

[Andrea Barnett Budin]

GOSH I HAVEN'T BEEN AWAY THAT LONG HAVE I? How quickly you forget...

I'm the *spiritual* one w/all the inspiring posts. I had mentioned a similarity I share with Mona Lisa and Eliz I to my friend Pinkie. She later thought it would be a good trivia question. When you find out, you will laugh.

I am a metastatic bc Survivor (not a shipwreck). Her2+. Been through a total of 16 mnths of hard core, shock and awe chemo, and am in my 10th year of Herceptin. I am going to live forever or die trying.

Much that is wondrous has happened to me as a result of being dx, which I think many can relate to. Life was never sweeter. Each day is a gift. I had a mastec in '95 but I do not think Mona or Liz could be on the same page as me in this regard.

But we do share something quite odd...

Andi http://cdn-cf.aol.com/se/clip_art/gstres/anmls/animals-butterfly

[PinkGirl]

Clue #1

476

[PinkGirl]

Clue #2

477

[Gerri]

Of course we know who you are Andi - well, I do anyway. Lee has some issues that I won't go into right now. Suffice it to say he doesn't even know who HE is at times.

Okay here is my guess:

All three have stunningly beautiful high foreheads, with flawless skin, model-like check bones and a bone structure to die for - majestic in every sense of the word.

[PinkGirl]

Gerri,

You are sooooooooooo close. I agree with everything you said about
these three famous women, but you haven't quite got the specific
detail I'm looking for.

Clue: this detail makes their foreheads look even higher.
Another clue: Andibb wears more makeup than Mona and Liz wore.

[Gerri]

Okay PinkGirl here goes:

The Mona Lisa and Queen Elizabeth I appear to have no eyebrows. Andi on the other hand, has beautifully arched eyebrows but if she is anything like me she has become an expert at filling them in. (Andi if those beautiful eyebrows are indeed your own please excuse my guess - this is a tough one!)

[PinkGirl]

Yes!!!! You got it Gerri.
Mona Lisa, Elizabeth l and Andibb all do not have any eyebrows.

I know it was a tough trivia question and there should be a big
prize for you, but ....... you'll have to check with Lee for the
prize because this is his quiz thread.

Good job!!!

[Gerri]

Whew!! That was stressful! I'll wait to hear from Lee about my prize. Knowing him, and how his twisted mind works, I will probably have to claim my winnings from his grandma in jail...I'll just go with the satisfaction of knowing I solved the puzzle!

[Colleens_Husband]

Great guess Geri! I'm impressed by your brilliance. Now all I need to do is convince you to use your natural talents to serve the dark side of the force.

I was going to say that they looked like they were being goosed, except for Shipwreck Andrea, but upon further reflection I thought that would be unkind to mention, so I put that thought out of my mind. And you know, I feel pretty good that I didn't bring it up. It shows that I do have some restraint.

Lee

[chrisy]

Um, I think you lost your restraint by bringing up how proud you were about showing restraint...

I'm just saying...

[Andrea Barnett Budin]

Yes, *Spike*, in 1956 the Italian transatlantic passenger vessel, The Andrea Doria (an icon of national pride, post WWII), collided with The Stockholm. Much like the Titanic, this ocean liner tragically sank, taking 46 lives. Whereas 1,660 Souls were rescued, through extraordinary heroic means. All with tales to tell.

I too am a Survivor, of a very different course of events. My cancer cells (tumors and all) have been torpedoed. Yet, *I* remain, alive and well -- body, mind and Soul. I AM NO SHIPWRECK.

Also, I believe Mona has a most placid smile; her eyes speaking of her connectedness to her Spirit. As for Liz, gosh she must be hot in all those bloody clothes. Though, it could be quite chilly in England's castles, I hear. Perhaps that is what you're seeing, Spike. Just a thought. I'm just saying...

On a lighter note, I recently read that it took Da Vinci 12 years to paint Mona's lips. This has elated me, as it is taking forever and a day for me to finish my book. All much to my chagrin from friends and acquaintances inquiring IS IT DONE YET???

Gerri, my sweet, you are too kind and generous, not to mention gracious. FYI, since my 2nd round of chemo (after my recurrence) and after 8 months of Taxotere (the Freight Train drug) most of my hair came back. However -- *no* eyebrows. I do not know what happened to Mona or Liz, but Life is full of surprises. Not the least of which is that eyebrows serve to give our faces expression. My younger daughter has sweetly observed that I do not have a receding hairline (as I claim) but rather that I have a *high forehead*. Gotta love her.

I think those eyebrow hairs have relocated -- to my upper lip. I have always believed we must learn to laugh at ourselves, before others do, don't you think? Cosmic humor is gaspingly funny.

DID YOU KNOW... :

...MONEY IS NOT MADE OF PAPER? ANY GUESSES AS TO WHAT IT IS MADE OF? (This is a *trivia* thread, right?)

...WHO THE FIRST RECORDED WENDY WAS?

...WHY ASTRONAUTS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO EAT BEANS BEFORE THEY GO INTO OUTER SPACE?

And so ends my post, completely lacking any semblance of order, as I segue from thought to thought occurring in my brain and then suddenly appearing on my keyboard. (Some may hasten to add -- per usual. Or as always.)

I ALWAYS SAY -- NEVER SAY NEVER, OR ALWAYS... http://cdn-cf.aol.com/se/smi/2b00001c91/08


Andi http://cdn-cf.aol.com/se/clip_art/gstres/anmls/animals-butterfly

[SoCalGal]

I will attempt to answer your trivia.
I do not know what money is made of. I do know - however - from my father - that is DOES NOT GROW ON TREES.

I do not know the official first recorded Wendy. I do know that the first time I ever heard that name was Wendy - the lost boys' mother from Peter Pan. I unofficially changed my name to Wendy and lucky for me my mom called me that for about 6 months.

The beans thing is universal... It's the same reason no one is allowed to eat them in my house. Odorous gaseous.

[PinkGirl]

You know, it wasn't that long ago that I knew the answers to these 3 questions. Right now I can only remember the Wendy
question. I think Flori is right - the name came from Peter Pan.

[Colleens_Husband]

Paper money is made of rag bond, which is a combination of starch and ground up threads of cotten and linen. If you get a magnifying glass and look at a dollar bill, you can easily see the cloth fibers.

Oh, and I am pretty comfortable with Spike, which is an Irish term for a mischievous boy. Some people see that quality in me.

[Andrea Barnett Budin]

Yes Flori Flori Morning Glory (secret Wendy person) -- J. M. Barrie's tale of Peter Pan included the much beloved character, Wendy. It seems he invented the name in the early 1900s, when ancient Welsh names were becoming popular again, as an expression of intellectual nationalism. Perhaps a derivation of Gwendolyn.
How brilliant of your Mom, Flori, for indulging your whimsy.

The beans thing is well known, true (via movies like ?Blazing Saddles). However, specifically, my source states that the reason astronauts are not allowed to eat beans before they go into space is because --PASSING WIND IN A SPACE SUIT DAMAGES IT! Talk about noxious fumes... Whew... http://cdn-cf.aol.com/se/smi/2b00001c91/13

Thanks Flori/Wendy and Pinkie for playing along. Pink One -- is that you fishing at an ice floe -- up there in Iceland...? Down the road from your teepee...?

Now Spike is correct as well. Paper $$$ is made of cotton. AND -- did you know -- the Declaration of Independence was written on hemp (marijuana) paper. Our founding Fathers were high on Life and really connected to their yearning to be Free Spirits. It's all becoming very clear... To me, anyway.

I will leave you with this thought: A tiny amount of liquor on a scorpion will make it go instantly mad and sting itself to death. Handy to know...

Sleep well, my Sisters and Bros.

Andi http://cdn-cf.aol.com/se/clip_art/gstres/anmls/animals-butterfly

[juanita]

what do jimmie johnson and kevin harvick have in common?

[PinkGirl]

They drive too fast.

[juanita]

besides that!

[PinkGirl]

They both are handsome and wealthy.

[Colleens_Husband]

A few guesses:

They are both from California.

They both have hair that you couldn't dent with a ball peen hammer.

They are the only two NASCAR drivers not named Dale, Kyle, Ernie, Mike, or Gordon. (Only five first names are sanctioned by NASCAR, all other drivers must get a special waiver to compete.)

Neither one knows how to turn right.

All of the above.

[juanita]

pink, that is true but not what i was looking for. they are the only 2 pole sitters to win the brickyard 400.

[PinkGirl]

Juanita,
That was going to be my next guess.
Really...... :)

[Colleens_Husband]

Quiz Feedback:

So far no wrong answers except for no. 12 isn't Greenday, great guess though.

Juanita, great guess on no. 18 for Cheap Trick. I bet you got it from the drummer, Bun E. Carlos. Not many people named Bun E.!

Bill, special kudos to you for No. 16, R.E.M. I didn't think anyone would get that one. Well done!

Some of these answers were designed for Brenda. I think you will need her input to figure out some of these.

Great job so far to everyone!

[PinkGirl]

17. The Clash
19. Bad Company

[Colleens_Husband]

Good job Pink Girl! Two answers, but two of the hard ones.

It's just amazing how resourceful or brilliant everyone on this forum is!

Just 4 more to go. Nos. 12, 20, 21, and 22.

[PinkGirl]

12. The Smashing Pumpkins

[PinkGirl]

20. The Cure

21. confusing one. Part Bad English and part Journey?

[PinkGirl]

22. World Party

[Bill]

21 is it Asia?

[Gerri]

Sheesh! I missed all the fun!

Great job everyone. Okay Lee/Bill/Spike (interesting how you are taking on more personalities), next time you post a quiz make it work-friendly for the west coast. I just got home and it was all over. The big quiz in July worked out for me because I was on "staycation".

I'll be on the lookout for the next one!

[Colleens_Husband]

20 is the Cure,
21 is one of the several incarnations of Journey.

Last but not least, 22 is a band from Manchester. The lead singer always had one hand in his suit pocket. Most people assumed that the lead singers name was not Peter.

[PinkGirl]

Oh, oh, oh, I think I know
It's Herman's Hermits???

[Gerri]

ARGH!!! I was just rushing back to post:

HERMAN'S HERMITS!!!

PinkGirl - You win, once again!

[PinkGirl]

Sorry Gerri. I had all day to work on this :)

I'll share the prize with you!

[Gerri]

YAY!!! There's a prize??? I sure hope it is the bunny bowl Lee referred to in the "Joy Column". Is it Lee? Can PinkGirl and I share the bunny bowl??? PLEEEZE????

[Colleens_Husband]

Okay, about that bunny bowl......

A couple of years back someone put the bunny bowl in the microwave oven and....... well, who knew rabbits and microwave radiation don't mix. Certainly bunny didn't say anything, not that I'm blaming the victim. Anyways, the bunny grew these huge bubble like growths all over his face. Now he is a "special" bunny.

With that said, he is still MY "special" bunny. If I sent him away to you, he wouldn't come back, which is what bunny is all about in the first place.

If I find another bunny bowl, I'll gladly ship him to you. I'll need your address though.

[PinkGirl]

Don't give him your address Gerri.

[juanita]

I knew cheap trick without bun e. i love them and still listen to 'em.

[PinkGirl]

This might be hard. I'm not sure, because I have the answers.
I am looking for the name of the actor plus the name of the movie.

1. Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she
walks into mine.

2. If only you could see what I've seen with your eyes.

3. Cops and women don't mix. It's like eating a spoonful of
Drano. Sure, it'll clean you, but it'll leave you hollow inside.

4. You see, in this world there's two kinds of people my friend:
Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig.

5. If my answers frighten you then you should cease asking scary
questions.

6. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West.
You know .... morons.

7. Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.

8. You're an errand boy, sent by grocery clerks, to collect a bill.

9. You're dumber than you think I think you are.

10. Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room.

11. See? I am the world's first fully functioning homicidal artist.

12. I'm sure that in 1985 plutonium is available in every corner
drugstore, but in 1955 it's a little hard to come by.

13. Don't say it's a fine morning or I'll shoot ya!

[Gerri]

3 - Leslie Neilson - Naked Gun
<O:p
5 - Samuel L. Jackson - Pulp Fiction

Is no. 12 from Back to the Future spoken by Marty McFly?

[Colleens_Husband]

2. From Bladerunner

13. John Wayne - McLintock

BTW Pink, I did notice that Lee was trying to cheat by not giving all the info required. I'm really glad you called him on it.

[PinkGirl]

Yep, you have to keep an eye on Lee.

[hutchibk]

OK, so I jumped on this one a little late, but I wanted to test myself and see if I could get it... believe it or not, I did it without cheating or searching the www. But I guess 20 yrs in the music industry paid off somehow!

1. Sting, Andy, and Stewart THE POLICE

Wow Hutchbik, impressive!!

[PinkGirl]

What do the following all have in common?

Y, A, Re, Pi, Ed, Lo, and Bo

[Colleens_Husband]

To finish up the answers to the movie quiz question, with the actors and everything included:

2) Roy Batty, played by Rutger Hauer, in Blade Runner
10) President Merkin Muffley played by Peter Sellers in Doctor Strangelove
11) The Joker played by Jack Nicholson in Batman
12) Marty McFly, played by Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future
14) Professor Plum, with a lead pipe, in the conservatory

There. I hope your happy now.

[PinkGirl]

Well Lee, I'm not completely happy yet. You are close on
#12. It wasn't Marty McFly, it was Doc. The actor is
Christopher Lloyd.

There is no #14, although your guess is a good one.

#4 hasn't been answered yet.

[chrisy]

Oh my god!

I've so missed all these quizzes...

But on the movie quote quiz, #4 is Clint Eastwood as Blondie in The Good, the Bad and The Ugly

[chrisy]

Or his official character name might be the man with no name

[PinkGirl]

Yes Chrissy, you are right! You came in at the end and finished
off the quiz.

Now I'm waiting for some guesses on my new quiz.

[Gerri]

They are all letters of the alphabet http://her2support.org/vbulletin/images/icons/icon7.gif........ Sorry PinkGirl, that's all I've got. Looks like we need a hint on this one.

[PinkGirl]

Okay, I'll give you the rest of the list. There might be a clue in
there. If not, I'll give you another clue.

Ii, Ai, As, Se, Of, Oz, Bo, Ay, Gy, Ho, Uz, Lu

[Gerri]

Gee thanks Pink! That makes it sooooo much clearer!

[PinkGirl]

Okay, here's another hint. They are the shortest names
of .................

[Sheila]

Elements...chemicals....towns in Canada
I have no idea!

[PinkGirl]

The next hint is to study Sheila's guess.

[Gerri]

The Periodic Table?

[Gerri]

Just googled it - apparently not the correct answer.

Hmmm........................................

[PinkGirl]

Let me know if you want another hint.

[Bill]

The names of rivers in Canada?

[PinkGirl]

Nope, that's not it. It has nothing to do with Canada.

[Colleens_Husband]

The chemical composition of non-Canadian one-a-day vitamins?

(I bet I got the non-Canadian part right.)

[PinkGirl]

Sorry Lee, but that was a good guess. Did you mean non-socialist,
non-government regulated vitamins? That's not it either.

[juanita]

Chemical composition of spray cheese?

[Colleens_Husband]

Its Popeye singing the non-Canadian non-socialist national anthem with a mouth full of spray cheese. How could I have missed that? Do'oh!!

[PinkGirl]

Popeye singing .... that's a good one Lee!!! So are the spray cheese
guesses, but that's not it. I could give you a hint that would really
help you but I am going to let Gerri have a few more guesses first.

[Gerri]

http://www.clipartof.com/images/emoticons/xsmall2/1225_confused.gif

Thanks PinkGirl for giving me another opportunity but I am afraid I am dizzy with all the searching I have done! I tried looking at Shelia's answer and this is what I came up with:

Elements - No

Chemicals - No

Towns in Canada - No

"I have no idea" - BINGO!

Hint please....

[PinkGirl]

Here is the big hint. Whoever wins cannot expect a prize because
I am practically giving you the answer.

Look in the index at the back of an atlas.

[Bill]

Letters in the Chinese alphabet is what I wanted to say before this last hint. I don't have an atlas. Are they the names of provinces in China?

[Sheila]

abbreviations, road symbols, phoenetic elements

i give up, it MUST be the composition of spray cheese!

[Gerri]

Pink,

Things got a little crowded at my house so I had to get rid of my Atlas. I am still clueless!!

http://globalizacion.no.sapo.pt/imagenes/atlas.jpg

[PinkGirl]

Sorry this was so hard. These words are all the names of world
cities. Of, Turkey ...Ed, Sweden ...As, Sweden ...Ai, India.

[juanita]

You have toooooo much time on your hands if you're looking things up in the atlas.

[harrie]

I agree with Juanita, who has the time to be studying an atlas?!?!

[Colleens_Husband]

Okay, this is my fair warning for everyone. In the near future, like in a day or two, I'm going to post a new quiz on an iconic pop culture entertainment happening. I think I'll post it at around 6:00 PM Pacific time so that the people on the left coast get a chance to answer. Pink Girl and Brenda are just too smart, too fast. Sorry, Harrie Canary, I'm not going to post at 3AM so our Hawaiian friends can get first crack at it. Perhaps you can cross the International Date Line and answer the questions before I even post them. That would show everyone who the real evil genius is. I'm just saying ........

[Sheila]

Gee Lee, i hope its Woodstock

[Joe]

I was invited to go to Woodstock, but turned down the invitation because the weather called for rain.

Joe

[Andrea Barnett Budin]

Bruce Springstein. I'm just saying...

[harrie]

I hope to not tune into this quiz too late. By the time I usually notice there is a quiz going on, most of the questions have been answered.
Lee, how bout you give us 24 hrs notice?

[harrie]

...still waiting Lee.....

I didn't even see that you posted this last evening, Lee... you snooze you lose, I guess... Wow, Pink - you disappear for a week or two and then suddenly you appear like a lightning bolt with the answers! You have secretly been studying old episodes of jeopary, huh?

[SoCalGal]

I'd like to buy a vowel.

[PinkGirl]

20. His name is B.J. He was named after his parents, Bea and Jay.

Pink Girl Welcome back. I am glad you are feeling better. And you rock with all these answers.

[BethC]

Yogi Berra is the best! My husband added one more that was on the AFLAAC commercial with the duck: "And they pay you in cash, which is just as good as money."

[harrie]

PinkGirl, you are so amazing. You are like a walking Google Search Girl!

[Colleens_Husband]

Very good job everybody!

There was one wrong answer. No. 19, Frank Burns said he wanted to be a doctor for only one reason, what was that reason?

Lt. Leslie Scorch also was the name of a scrub nurse on the show Trapper John M.D.

Radar had two cows, the milk cow was named Edna after his mom and the show cow was named Bessie.

Finally, there were a couple other Richard Hooker novels besides the ones Pink Girl mentioned. 'M*A*S*H goes to Maine' was the best of the lot and 'M*A*S*H
goes to New Orleans' was a pretty good read as well.

So if someone guesses why Frank Burns decided to become a doctor I will post a Woodstock trivia challenge.

[Gerri]

Since it is my wrong answer I will try to correct it.

19. The reason Frank Burns became a doctor was to clear up his skin.

Is that it, or are there other reasons floating around out there?

I think Shelia is waiting for the Woodstock quiz so you had better get to posting!

Thanks Lee for keeping us so entertained!

[Colleens_Husband]

Yeah Gerri!

You got it 100% correct. Good Job!

Oh, and the Woodstock quiz will be in a couple of days.

Lee

[Bill]

Joe Cocker! Aw dammit, I'm sorry, it's that seeing into the future thing again. I'll just wait for Lee's question. The Rolling Stones! Sorry again, I'll leave now.

[harrie]

Come on Lee.......I'm ready!!!
Dont mean to jump the gun ....but.....

JIMI HENDRIX!!!!!

[Colleens_Husband]

Awwww Harrie and Bill:

Those were two of the answers. Now I'm going to have to find two other questions. See, I told you Harrie was an evil genius! She was using the International Date Line to travel to tomorrow and she read the internet, then crossed back across the line and posted today. Its cheating but its cheating in a very clever way. And Bill, well there isn't a rule against seeing into the future but you need to give Pink Girl a chance to win.

[Gerri]

What am I, chopped liver? In going back, I noticed that I answered 13 questions and PinkGirl answered 13 questions - out of 25. We both answered question #3 and depending on who was right, one of us answered 12 correctly and the other 13. Pretty darn close.

I'm just saying......

[PinkGirl]

Gerri, no, you are definitely not chopped liver. Really.

All this means is that we have to share the prizes and it
doesn't sound like Lee is going to part with the bunny bowl,
and ........ it really doesn't matter because neither of us are
willing to give Evil Lee our address, which is a good thing, I'm
just saying ....

[Gerri]

Thanks Pink, I didn't think I was chopped liver, but then I was starting to doubt everything.

Good point about the bunny bowl and Lee's refusal to part with it. He probably thinks he's pretty safe because we won't give our addresses to him. However, at some point I just might be okay with scheduling a drop off in neutral territory. For now I guess we just have to settle for the satisfaction that we did our best - the line I always tried to sell my kids.

(It's great to have you back http://her2support.org/vbulletin/images/icons/icon7.gif)

[Colleens_Husband]

Gerri:

My humble apologies to you. You are one motivated quiz answering fool. And I mean fool in the good way. Its just I never thought of you as the type who would elbow her own grandmother in the throat to win like ........

Ummmm..... thats not going quite the way I had hoped. Let's just say you did a good job and leave it at that.

Lee


PS

If you would elbow your grandmother in the throat to win the quiz, then I apologize for that too.

[Gerri]

Lee,

Are you calling PinkGirl old?

[PinkGirl]

Evil Lee,
Are you implying that I would elbow my grandmother in the
throat in order to win a quiz???? I'm not the one who left
my granny in a Canadian prison in Nelson, BC ....

Gerri, we have to talk ....

[Gerri]

Ahh, now I get it Pink, Lee was slamming you not me. When I first read his reply I did not notice his overt reference to you ("like...").

Lee, Pink has a point about your poor grandma who has locked up for so long now. Isn't it time to bake a cake with extra iron (wink, wink) and pay her a visit?

[Colleens_Husband]

I didn't call anyone old, and being 49 and 15/16ths years old myself and rapidly approaching the half century mark, age is not one of the subjects I wish to bring up.

And I did try to spring granny but as I told you, she fell for Big Red, the one eyed logger and she wanted to be with him, at least till his eye heals, which is only fair since she is the one who put it out, so as soon is Big red is up and healthy I will sneak across the border to get granny out of that hell hole prison. Well, unless she is falling for the big lug. A swooning granny is never a pleasant sight.

[Colleens_Husband]

[juanita]

i was only 6 at the time and had no clue it was even going on!

[hutchibk]

I was 10, but lived in Germany - though I do remember hearing about it from my brother and on AFN radio. We were nutty music fans even back then...

[Sheila]

OK, Giving my age now but as one who truly remembers Woodstock, I was 17, just wondering Lee why you wait to post a quiz i have a chance at on a day when I am gone to chemo...it was the drug thing right???

Brenda...so smart, you could hang with us flower children anytime!!!

[hutchibk]

I am only as smart as google...

[Colleens_Husband]

Heads up to everyone about an impending quiz.

In the next few days I will post a new quiz on one of Colleen's favorite television shows. Since Pink Girl is in an American smuggler's prison for something to do with spray cheese, maybe the rest of you will get an opportunity to answer a question.

Nothing against Pink Girl, mind you. She is a quiz question answering fool, and I mean that in the best way possible. She answers more questions because she is a very resourceful person.

[Gerri]

YAY Lee! I have missed you and your crazy quizzes! Of course I miss PinkGirl too but alas that is another thread.

Bring it on!!!!!

[PinkGirl]

Lee,
I escaped from the American smuggler's prison and I even managed
to take the spray cheese with me. It was all worth it! I now feel
like I "belong" here. It couldn't have been done without the help of
Donna D and Sheila .... but I can't go into the details for fear of their
safety ... I'm okay ... don't think the FBI has dog sled teams and even
if they did I doubt they would go to all that trouble for one 8 oz. can
of Easy Cheese.

[Gerri]

Hurray!! PinkGirl is back! Let the game begin!

PinkGirl: I really missed you. Hope you are here to stay!

[PinkGirl]

Thanks Gerri. I have to warn you that there wasn't much to do
in the smuggler's prison so I had lots of time to study triva......

[Gerri]

Pink,

So glad you made it out of prison - cheese spray intact. I wonder what Lee has in store for us. I'm sure you will beat me once again - having all that time to hone your skills, but I'll still have fun trying.

May the best (wo)man (or person with the most Google time) win.

[sassy]

PINK!

I hear spray cheese gums up prison locks. Lucky you had some on hand.

Missed ya!

[PinkGirl]

Yes Sassy, I remembered all of the special uses of spray cheese and it
certainly came in handy ... that's why I only escaped with one can ... the
rest were used to faciliate my escape. Again, I couldn't have done it
without Donna D and Sheila's help ... wish I could tell you everything they
did for me but it would be too dangerous for them. I'm so glad that I
remembered Lee's spray cheese eye injury ... that was crucial for the
escape plan.

[Colleens_Husband]

Pink Girl:

Please tell me that you didn't turn Big Red, the one eyed logger into Big red the No eyed logger.

Lee

[PinkGirl]

Morning Gerri

I have gone through the quiz and made a list of the questions that need
answers. This is usually the quizmaster's job ... I'm just saying ...

We still need answers for #'s 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 19, 22, 23, 24, 26, 28, 29
31 and 32.

I will work on the first 7 questions if you will try the last 7. We can't let
Lee/Spike think that he has stumped us ....

[Gerri]

Hey PinkGirl,

I was wondering what happened to you after you said you would work on this puzzling quiz. I'm at work (just checking in here) and will get to my 7 later tonight. I agree, we can't let the quizmaster get the best of us! I sure hope we can pull this one off!

Happy searching; I will check in later!

[PinkGirl]

I found one answer..... geez, this is hard.

8. The blood relatives are Jack, Clare and baby Aaron. Their father/grand
father is Christain Shepard.

[PinkGirl]

some of these are guesses ... sure would be nice if the quizmaster would
tell us if the answers are right or wrong ......

10. the freight ship is Kahana

12. Widmore was responsible for the crash of flight 815

14. First major character knocked off was Charlie or
maybe it was Boone or Boon, maybe.

[PinkGirl]

[PinkGirl]

Is that it? Did we do it? I think we deserve extra credit for working so hard.

Good job Pink!! So nice to have you back again.

[PinkGirl]

Okay Lee, how did we do???? Do we get a bunny bowl?

[PinkGirl]

What and where is the most photographed tree in the world?

[vickie h]

Pink Girl, Is it The Lone Cypress Tree in California (Monterey)? All I could come up with... Vickie

[PinkGirl]

Sorry Vickie, that's not it.

[vickie h]

OK, Have to keep trying1 I should have known (being from California) that there must be some other famous tree lurking in the world. Love, Vickie

[Gerri]

Hey Pink and Vickie,

I came up with the same tree as Vickie so I did a little more searching. Looks like the Evangeline Oak in Louisiana also shares that honor. Maybe a tie?

[PinkGirl]

yep, that's it Gerri ... good work ... you and Vickie can share the
prize.

What is the most photographed US landmark?

[vickie h]

Yea! Finally an award to share! OK< let's get on the next one, Gerri....This is fun. Love, Vickie

[vickie h]

Is it the Golden Gate Bridge or the Statue of Liberty? Or, Hmmmm? Vickie
Just also thought of the white house, since we've just elected a new pres.....
Vickie

[Colleens_Husband]

Geri and Pink Girl:

Bunny bowls to both of you. That was a hard quiz. Maybe it was too hard. I wanted to challenge you because you did so well on the other quizzes. The next quiz will be easier if you want. The winner gets the matching bunny fork, knife, and spoon set.

The real answers:

8) Walt and Michael are also blood relatives.

12) Desmond thinks he is responsible for the crash. Widmore doesn't think he is responsible for anything.

14) Boone was the first to go and nobody was sad to see him leave.

20) The Dharma initiative station which Desmond stayed in was the 'Swan'.

21) Ben Linus killed the Dharma Initiative people. The hostiles tried to kill everyone else.

Anyways, you two did great for not having watched the show. I am truly impressed.

Oh and Gerri, Smiley didn't throw like a girl, really. Most girls I know can throw much better than he could.

[Colleens_Husband]

Is Mount Rushmore the most photographed U.S. landmark?

How about the Statue of Liberty?

[PinkGirl]

A point for Vickie ... the most photographed US landmark is
the Golden Gate Bridge ...


What is the world's most photographed statue?

[vickie h]

Hey Pink Girl, Is it Statue of Liberty or Corcavado (Rio, the statue of Christ)?

[PinkGirl]

Nope, but good guesses Vickie.

[Gerri]

Wild guess.....David?

[PinkGirl]

nope, not David

[vickie h]

The Pieta or The Discus Thrower? Hmmm......this one is puzzling. Love, Vickie

[vickie h]

My husband, Cap says it's the Little Mermaid in Copenhagen (forgot the dutch name). Yes...No? Love, Vickie

[Gerri]

Hey Vickie,

I think your husband is right.

I see you live in SLO (hope you don't mind the abbreviation). Both of my kids graduated from Cal Poly. We loved going up to visit them. What a great place to live!!

Take care,

Gerri

[PinkGirl]

The point goes to Cap. It's the Little Mermaid.


What is the most photographed street in the world?

[vickie h]

Thanks, Gerri and Pink Girl! Gerri, We always call it SLO, in fact we're going to a soccer tournament tonight in town and we always yell "GO SLO". Cal Poly is such a fine school and if you're ever in this neighborhood again, come by and see us....now on to the next question.... Vickie

[vickie h]

Could it possibly be Main St (Disneyland) ....again thinking California when there's a whole world out there.... Love, Vickie

[PinkGirl]

Nope, has nothing to do with Disney ... keep trying ...

[Gerri]

Oh great quiz master Lee,

Thanks for checking in and giving us a prize even though we did not answer all the questions correctly. You wanted to challenge us, and challenge us you did. Pink and I did our best and will wait to see what else you can come up with. Please bear in mind, that we are still suffering from the effects of chemo brain (I will use this excuse whenever it suits my purpose). Looking forward to the matching fork, spoon and knife set to go with the bunny bowl.

[PinkGirl]

.... as if we'll ever see these prizes ... knife, fork and spoon to match the
bunny bowl that we didn't get ...

[Gerri]

Good point Pink. Lee does seem make a lot of promises he can't seem to keep...

[Gerri]

The most photographed street in the world is Abbey Road.

[vickie h]

Geeez...I never even thought of that one. Good job, Gerri. I think I just heard the UPS truck whizzing by with your bunny bowls ala silverware. Love, Vickie

[PinkGirl]

Abbey Road is correct. Good job Gerri.

What is the most photographed island in the world?

What is the most photographed structure in the world?

Vickie ... neither one is in California :)

[Sheila]

OK PINK here goes:

La Digue island in the Seychelles claims to be the most photographed island in the world.
And the most photographed structure would be the spray cheese can.....no, I think it is the Golden Gate Bridge or the Eiffel Tower, or your garden, ....although I would think Niagra Falls, Hoover Dam, Alcatraz....

Who would be the most photographed person in the world?

[PinkGirl]

Wow, I'm glad the rules aren't strict .... I've never heard of your island
SheilaGirl ... my sources tell me that the most photographed island is Santorini
in Greece ... but who cares?

The most photographed structure is the Eiffel Tower.

I was going to ask about the most photographed woman in the world ...you
would have all guessed Lady Diana but the correct answer is the late
LaceyGirl, my golden retriever ....

I saved the best one for last: Where are the most photographed toilets
in the world???

[vickie h]

Hey how about the Hundertwasser toilets in New Zealand (wow...can't believe I guessed outside of California...after all, we have some well photoed ones out here at the beach...) Hmmmmm....... Love, Vickie, the toilet expert

[PinkGirl]

Yep, that's right Vickie ... they are in Kawakawa, New Zealand. How
did you know that???

Hey PinkGirl,

These are completely from memory - I did not peek at all so I could have some wrong.

1. Wyatt --- Bill and Nicola

3. Cocoa, Sophie and Sadie --- Sheila

9. Murray and Hondo --- Marejo

10. Beau --- Flori

17. Chilly --- TerriB

I'm sure you included your dog in there but I can't remember the name.....I am really going out on a limb and guessing (#7) Boone.

[PinkGirl]

Very good Gerri ... except for my dog ... I have only mentioned her name
once ... she died in 2005 right when I was dx. But .... it should be
obvious from the name, GerriGirl ....

[Gerri]

Okay, so that means LaceyGirl belonged to you....DUH!!

My dog Montana (I called him "My Boy") also died in 2005, 3 months prior to my dx. I love dogs, but my hubby does not, therefore I am now dogless. I wish I had used my "C Card" at the time to get a new one.

[Gerri]

PinkGirl,

I noticied your dx date as Aug - that is when "My Boy" went to Doggie Heaven. Maybe LaceyGirl and Montana are hanging out.
