blonde poker forum

Rules

There are 11 questions. PM me your answers by Wednesday 18th March at 9pm GMT, with each answer on a differing line with a corresponding question number.


Your score for each question is number of people who give the same correct answer. So you want to go for answers that you think will be less commonly given. Levelling commonly happens. The answer most commonly given is called the sheep, with the corresponding sheep score.


You are not allowed to do research such as Google searches to come up with answers.  Those who do will be spotted by the other contestants and no doubt pointed out. Such villains will have it on their conscience and will have to devise a way of purging their sins. (http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=40356.msg907376#msg907376)


If you give an incorrect answer, you will receive the sheep score + one half the number of distinct correct answers given, rounded up.

You MUST pass on one, and only one, question and score a 0 for that question.

Any questions, post in this thread. Don’t expect a straight answer.

I will be conducting the answers on Thursday 19th March starting at 8pm.

Any disputes must be seconded, and must provide linkage for my approval. My decision will be final.

Have fun

Is the positioning of question 8 deliberate?

If so, wp

tyty ;)

At least you saw the relevance sir..

Some record scores coming out here IMO

Objection, farce, fml, etc etc.

Yes, I've sent my answers in as well.

Please elaborate..

yes

....


I did mention in RSP4 that I'd be evil..

Penalties for failed objections?
Time limits for objections?
Penalties for being pedantic about rules?

Isn't around 96% of Reverse Sheep about being pedantic about rules?

It's what I look forward to.

All dependent on the severity/ farcicalness of the objection etc..

Will be taking from previous RS games..

Can't have both. Previously rule was the 2 or 1 point penalty for a failed objection. If you want a a penalty dependant on farce, that's different. We need to know!
Farce




:)

The 2/1 penalty would be applied in 99% of cases, utter farcical objections may be penalised more severly

There's no pedantry with regards to the rules.  Just blatant disregard for (in)correctness on a farcical scale.

Exits Jersey pursued by an Owl Hippopotamus.

I will be aiming not to come first or last again...


I really really cannot understand why anyone would want to cheat/use google for these.

play it properly and fairly, its much more fun.

I will be partaking

I will win

FYP

Got to agree with kev here like anyone who's cheating at this is just wierd imo

PS I think i might win this week lol

PPS GTFO with the blues brothers question so sick i've seen it good few times but think i've fkd it up sigh

Just checked my answers and i have spectacular amount of trying to be too cute FAIL

A featherd bird of prey mammal hippopotamus (who stays at the HIlton ON THE STRIP whenever in vegas)

Answers submitted, had to pick some obvious ones so I wont be QM next week thats fer sure !

Sent, just the 2 Aces I fear.

P.S. Not quite sure how I managed that but its clearly a double farce

Ignore that found them now

[   ] It's a good idea to win

Suggestion

Would the present QM consider a points reward for a successful objection?

I would consider it. Next.

Would the present QM consider objections?

I consider all. I promise nothing.

Better than previous QMs then who "promised all and considered nothing".

Just wait till results day ;)

omg, no firm rules, free for all on the day.

Rules are pretty clear IMO. Usual penalties apply unless its farcical. Objections won MAY get points back. Then again, they MIGHT not. It depends on the quality of the objection & linkage provided.

Yep all pretty clear now ;)

Glad to help ;)

Sent.  What do I win?

Looking at your answers.. nothing. ;)  Same as everyone else..

Bugger all

Oh forgot to mention, I am open to bribery

Has Flushy entered?


Hmm let me rephrase that... nah couldn't be arsed bothered.

Well, if i do fluke it, it will be a 'sports special' so there...

LOL - did you think "sod it"?

now you're talking. Stars name and location please.

Something like that, I was going to type "can't be buggered" and mean it.

amcgrath1uk and Salford

Deepest sympathies.

Accepted

Answers submitted.  Await impending doom.

Hello amcgrath1uk,

We have transferred $0.14 to your account as requested by 'Aceby4'.


Good luck to you both.

I think I said bribery..not pity..

I agree it wasn't much but Claw sent me 12c and Joobie sent me 2c, I wanted to be the one who broke the records and sent the biggest bribe so far. Spend it wisely.

PS I blame the credit crunch.

 rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao

I think my bribe to get that last question marked wrong last night was slightly bigger ;)

This week I have gone for 10 Sheep - can it be done?

sent. fails galore.

18 in so far with still 47 hours to go..

1 time !!!

I have even drafted most of the questions in anticipation of a victory in one of these bloomin things !
I have some belters I reckon that would cause much amusement and violence.

On a scale of 1-0, how sad does that make me?

FYP

think Tighty has been doing the same...

I was thinking of suitable questions whilst running this morning.  I think I've got some good ones, but they're unlikely to see the light of day.

Lets just hope we can get through a week without the cheats pospering.

Obvious to me that many use Google.

Exactly - and those that don't get penalised. Harumph.

If anyone has googled they will be in for a severe penalty.

Based on the answers so far, thats noone :)

I've just sent mine and then Googled. Main one I worried about was the Mario Kart one (I play with the kids on the Wii version, but it's been a while), but I'd remembered it correctly. And given my FAIL in the top 15 selling books in Sheep I (I still haven't had a reply from Bloomsbury, miserable sods), I wasn't sure about the album one, but looks like I scraped that one too. I suspect lots of sheep though. Still not decided what level I should be thinking on...


LOL. Me too. Only without the running bit :).

I've never played it at all, so that made for an easy pass.

I went for a few obvious answers for some of the others to make sure I didn't get a fail, so I'm expecting a few sheep because of that.

Saying now what questions you've passed on helps people who have yet to submit their answers.

That's why I didn't say it before, but I figure there's only likely to be another 2 or 3 entrants so it's not likely to make a difference.

I passed on one.

I forgot to pass, the quiz master had to remind me.  Well done him.

I think I may have had a good answer for the one I passed but couldn't be sure as I think I may have misunderstood the question.

I think you are qualified to be the next quiz master.... perhaps over qualified

sent, lol this will be interesting.

if you win again you gotta do it next time lol!

this

I took a risky approach and it took me 1min to complete...not much chance of winning :)

1 whole minute? That's an admission of googling I reckon. Objection!

Overruled

+2 to you

Just seen Jane on the kids nintendo playing Mario Kart .... is this cheating Mr quiz master ??


when I say playing, I actually mean looking at the tracks before returning the DS to the kids.

no

already have your answers, they're useless and wouldn't help you anyway... ;)

It would be classed as cheating, if it also counted last week when you tried to look through all my Stephen King books (then still got it wrong!!! LOLOLOL)

Which just goes to prove that I didnt cheat !!

Did you, or did you not try to change your answer when I laughed my head off, after you had already sent your answers in?!

I did think about changing but decided that my integrity was more valuable than getting a correct answer.  :)

Loooooooooooooooooooooooooool, is all I can say..

Teetering for a score to be added to Kev...


But I won't.. he'll need all the help he can get...

Anything but first or last is a success ... remember that.

Hey, it wasn't seconded, so it doesn't count.

bugger.. will have to wait till Thurs night then won't I..

Wait on my answers before objections!

Does your new fluid regime allow me to second without losing a point?

nope

not starting the scoring until the answers start...

I'm really struggling with this sentence being written by Kev. Surely he googled it?

Tempted to agree, also fails to understand that , like virginity, integrity, once lost, cannot be regained.

GOOGLING all over the place on this forum.  :redcard:

24 hours to go.
28 entrants already.



FML

It's not googling, therefore it's not cheating. 

oi!!! those were my own words

WE HAVE A WINNER

FYP

gtf

Bad answers are ok. Silly answers will spoil the game for everyone else ;)

FPY

what you mean silly answers i can explain all of them and expect 10 aces

FK knows wtf this is all about but had time to kill at work .........

do you have 8 hours to kill tomorrow night when the answers come out though?

Thursday night girls come back from there dad's

too right i have time

good man.. all the fun is 2moro nite...

5 hours till deadline.

but to save me trawling through endless posts the winner gets to play quizmaster for the next 1 yah?

yep.. but again the trawling is the fun.. as are the objections..

fyp

Just the 90 mins to go for any additional entries ( and for Ironside to put a proper submission in)

Done, whens the abuse answers start?

I will be conducting the answers on Thursday 19th March starting at 8pm.

lol good luck :D

ty gonna need it methinks

Have FAILED the answers and checked em all.. in an hour I can score em.. sigh

Am i too late?

only just found internet access!!!

scroll ya goose...just a wee bit up you'll find this

go go go

all sent, expect most to be wrong, i was rushing!!!

Entries are now closed.

Anyone wishing to enter, can do so by midnight, but only by forfeiting points.

THANK YOU

Everybody seemed to enjoy the earlier ones, so I thought i should join in the fun chaos  ;)

34 entrants too.. going to be some high scores...

Just getting some last minute preparation done. ;)

farce
objection
seconded
You can't be serious!
Call yourself a quizmaster?
you're worse than JonMW
ironsod would do it better

Right, I'm ready, will cut and paste as required ;)

finished your post

Jon had little pictures, they were pretty cool.

Just a shame that he had to spoil them with the words he posted alongside them...

To be fair to John, where is that Hippo sitting?

In deep sh*t

less than half n hour for any stragglers...

If I enter my answers again, will you take points off, please?

no

7/11 questions/answers completed

just 4 to go...

PS will be wanting a volunteer to keep score.

We are now officially totally closed to new entrants

35 entrants, and some absolute pearlers for answers....

we'll do it again

ty ty :)

*fires up the spreadsheet*

Is the player list on p1 accurate cos there's only 34 names there...

suggest you flash up your stars screen name, she who has the excel has the power ;)

FYP.

I'm actually bloody doing it - she's taking the credit!

it is now... missed snoopy... oops

ok cheers!

refixed

Just 3 questions to sort.. last one's nice n easy :)

Just finished ranking everyone..

not doing total scores as I don't want to know either...

nearly 5 hours.. sigh

i hope my answer count had no time to do the quiz proper so dead last will do me

Also if anybody successfully appeals the score will change.

Unless that's a clue as to the likelihood of any objection being successful?

I can see all of the above being used frequently ..... apart from "you're worse than JonMW" I doubt this will ever be said in the history of sheeping world wide.


I dont think its even possible to be worse tbh :)

dont hold yr breath on that...

Nope no clues.. there's a good few answers there will be objections too :)

I expect challenges to a couple of my answers, so in advance.......

FML

I just realised I cocked up question 1.

Of course getting one question horribly wrong is a key tactic in avoiding hosting duties. Getting question 11 wrong is better entertainment tho.

Ironsides answers have been added for comedy value..

There are Fails to every single question..  considering one is about poker, and one is about colours of the rainbow, is quality!!

Tread carefully this evening Sir.   ;nemesis;

Poo - I knew I shouldn't have gone with 'three pairs'

bugger, that ruined my Ace then.

I'm going out tonight - can I start objecting to my fail now? I have a horrible feeling I am the rainbow one - fml.

[ ] I was going to bet against this

I tried to be cute with that one and there's a very real possibility I'll be stuffed over it.

I made a tactical pass on that one.

[   ] yes

at least 1 wrong for me and almost certainly a couple of sheep. Will be closer to the high score than the low score, my quite brilliant quiz and superb twist on the rules wont be coming out to play next week !

this.

heard a song off my album on the radio this morning and thought I'd check it.  23rd.  FML.  Only consolation was that my second choice was 22nd, so no good either :(

what times this start as i want to be back to make 10 apeals

I will be conducting the answers on Thursday 19th March starting at 8pm.

Where's Kinboshi?
anyone got any advice on how to achieve sucess in tonights APAT clickfest.

at 5 mins to 9 just start hitting refresh

when it comes up with the link just insure you fill it in properly with any typos and filling in all the required boxes

then you should be ok

Have your name, card number, address and phone number typed up beforehand in a notepad document so you just have to copy and paste.

have 1 primed in copy obv

ps can i please get a seconder for all my apeals tonight in advance tyvm

click fest on apat?  For what?  

fml, i completely miss out.  What time is it?

9 o'clock.  world champ's

we will be having a break from 8.55-9.05 to allow the APAT clickers to attempt to win a seat

ty, best dig out my card!

what a considerate quizmaster.

Compassion is not a personality trait associated with Reverse Sheep QMing.

oh I forgot to mention the 10% I'll be wanting for any successful clickers..

bring back JonMW!

Can't make the BH weekend, my clicky fest is tomorrow for the omaheeehaaaa

Oh I am excited. This is just like Eurovision Song contest only I feel like I am one of the contestants.

I want to be one of the eastern bloc countries and Win Win Win !!!

Right, cmon then Mr QM, do your worst ! Are you ready for the worst few hours of your life?

Going to enjoy this, QM is 4 to my left in the $30 7pm on blonde, I think his blinds are mine!! Roll on 8pm

This and also make sure you know the security password for your card if you have that set up.  Otherwise that can slow you down.  Being able to touch-type is also useful.

I don't think tonight will sell out that quickly though to be honest.  There are a lot more seats available than for the usual Nationals.  

LoL at him thinking he has time to play a tourn

sigh

outta that one.. ran into AA..boooooooo

scratch that, his stack was sacrificed for the good of the quiz.

?? omg, how many are you in?

2 more.. one on Blonde, one on Stars...

[  x  ] preparation is the key

[X] Preparation is useless when it comes to appeals.

You not watching the Citeh match?

FYP

Whats the hold up?

That too..

rofl. Brasil no no no others said the obvious too!

Suriname smells googly

So sick, I though Bolivia was a good shout, way toying with Colombia, Panama and Costa Rica and convinced some idiot would use google and have these ones.

Objection!

Fails should be 11 points, no? Sheep score = 6, + half of ten distinct correct answers.

I'm not actually playing, but I didn't manage to get an objection through last week, so I thought I'd try this week instead.

Costa Rica and Panama would both have been fails ;)

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v159/sharplesa/RSQ1a.jpg)

whats the crack with objections explain,,,,,,,,,

yup agreed. changes pls sharplea

I didn't record my answers and convinced myself that I'd said Belize, I'm not why I would have coz as soon as I thought of it I knew it was wrong, but anyway I didn't...

Safely mid table at the off. I like.

just watch n learn

Get in. Do I get points for that?

objection

we all happy to go to Q2?

Yup, 100 pts to Mosky

tables been updated.

No cause i got it wrong, lets skip that one

If the next QM agrees and you enter the next RS contest, you'll start with -2

yes yes, come on.

discription of a south american country

2nd world country with a tim pot democracy

fits england perfect

geography is just for the pedantic

Yep.  Just add 2 points to Ironstein's objection now to save time.  No way he's coming up with valid proof on that one.

Hurry up, wanna be finished by 11pm

[X] Skins is on.

PS  The Queen huh?!   rotflmfao

fck me is the falklands was a was and a hippo a water mammal then surely england is a 2nd world country with a tinpot democracy


2nd question objections i heard the crowd singing god save the queen at the start of the rugby why the fuck would they sing her name if she wasnt playing

austrailia did call them dads army so she fits into the age group

Yup, gotta be happy with an ace off that one

This is a right load of bollocks people dont want to win and going for Wilkinson :( ohh wait..

I object to the objection.

(http://www.fwi.co.uk/blogs/rural-life/jason-robinson.jpg)

2 aces for me this is going perfect for the poker question

Andrew and Silo join Tighty on my list.   ;nemesis;

I wanna get to the poker question so I can see if anyone passed a poker question on a poker forum.

or got it wrong

scores pls

thats a given - ironside entered.

I object to Josh Lewsey, he was playing for the aussies with his pathetic missed try effort

passing a question with only 10 answers would be a good tatic IMHO

Odds on Ironstein having it correct?

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v159/sharplesa/RSQ2.jpg)

any seconders to this?

passing a question with only 10 answers would be a good tatic IMHO

you shouldn't know about Rugby!

Bugger - a bit too close to the top...still plenty of time to save myself.

wow looks like i am in joint first in the sheep game

come on i got 2 apeals and no seconders this is a FARCE

You should have picked Ben Kay.  He's only 8" shorter than you.

How are the score tables being sorted when the scores are tied out of interest?

Alphabetical or reverse alphabetical would seem to the be logical choices - but I can't quite work out how they're being done at the moment.

You've obviously never seen me in the pub watching a match then.  It ain't pretty...just ask The Duke.   rotflmfao

If its tied at the end, the player with the most ACES will win

Order of entry cos thats how Excel's doing it, then highest position after the previous question...eg Tighty scored more points than myself or Andrew in Q1 so he is 3rd - it's just the way Excel does it when I highlight names and total score.

[   ] likely

Time for next question?

After the scores no appeals/objections allowed, so yes

When you learn how to run a quiz, come back and criticise...

i am apealing

bloody hell dirty dancing right up there LOL

Why did you have to copy me ffs?

I've just had to Google Millennium to see whose album that was - I've never heard of it.

Damn...it was a coinflip between ABBA and Dirty Dancing and I picked the wrong 1.

Either we have a googler or the worlds biggest Back Street Boys fan on the forum.

Which is it?

objection how can i be tied with bobalike

i need to get some seconders

http://rockmusic.suite101.com/article.cfm/best_selling_albums_of_all_times

thats a link to a website... whats your objection???

I like that list - Rumours is number 10!

bandit picked an american list not a worldwide one

[X] That list is the American sales

[  ] The question was American sales only.

http://digitaldreamdoor.nutsie.com/pages/best_sold_albums.html

still USA sales

from the page

Top Selling Record Albums of All Time (U.S. Sales) as of July, 2006    

there's a global list on this site that puts Rumours at 14th.  What source did you use, and is there an 'official' site we could check?

http://www.everyhit.co.uk/recordalb.html

[ ] That was the question.

which i am pointing out

*Cough*

From that site:

Best-Selling Albums of All Time
Accurate historical sales data is almost impossible to come by for the album market. We are indebted to Hanboo for his tireless work in the computation of this list. The all-time best-selling albums in the UK are:

there's never going to be an official site for this..

and another

http://www.ukmix.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=38582&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

This list is wrong,way way out on numbers

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_albums_worldwide is better

That's a UK list...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_albums_worldwide

Wikipedia is never wrong, as anyone can edit it.

well in that case I'm launching an objection on the grounds that in 3 of the first google hits for best selling worldwide albums mine would count!

http://www.timefm.co.uk/bestselling-albums/

If its top in the U S of A then its top of the fkin world IMO LDO -  everyone knows the wall sold more copies than DSoTM

which is my source.. ty sir

there is a 'worldwide' list further down the page

A
Objections overruled imo

You expect us to scroll?

do u have an objection + seconder?

i am sure my karoke hits was worldwide top 15 can you prove otherwise?

Did any objections have a seconder?

if not, moot point, move on

not definitive for reason kinboshi stated and contradicts most other sites.

anyone want to second me?

post a scan of the cover and we'll believe you

FYP

claire i will second your objestion if you second all mine

FML

Just logged on and 3 fails out of 3 questions.

Joint last with Ironside.

Double FML.

:(

;whistle;

cant as it was a download only album and therefore had no coverS

link to download?

no but I will second bandit's

Bandit has not made a clear objection IMO

its no longer available as my team and i did a byran adams

fml you ever tried typing in the dark while eating mince and tatties

apat is opening

FYP

Question 3 is now closed as there were no firm objections + seconders..

fuck me, this is a farce

FML lloyds/tsb are utter@@@@
APAT entry 21.05 this will be a FAIL
FARCE

WTF?

Canada sureley belonged to the Empire at one stage. 

Its in the commonwealth!!

Canda is correct, i second your objection

QM = FAIL

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:The_British_Empire.png

Canada is in there.

True

However, every source that I've looked at has shown most of the states of Canada until the control of the British Empire, but not all of them, same with USA

Objection.

Swaziland was pat of the British Empire.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Swaziland

being considered

http://www.angelfire.com/mac/egmatthews/worldinfo/europe/empire.html

So is Swaziland.

seconder?

Got to give us the benefit of the doubt.

Canada should be a 2 pointer for me and Sharplea.

Tinterweb is rigged. 

And that was taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_empire

Seconder please!

level 1 thinking ftw ;D

Canada accepted. 2 points to sharplea and GlasgowBandit

truly excellent answer IMO

I would if someone had seconded me last time  :P

Are you sure?

Because this says that Canada as Canada was created in 1867 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_empire

And that was as a dominion - so not technically part of direct rule by the Empire???

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:British_Empire_Anachronous_7.png

Dunno what it means but Canada is the same colour as australia, so gotta be right.

I have noe idea where swaziland is but I will second that aswell.

QM = FARCE

2nded

Objection for Robert HM - South Rhodesia was a colony of the British Empire.

Being considered

++Seconded

Robert will second this if no one else does.

Cheers Naks.

 Link?

America anyone?
objection

Objection!!! Southern Rhodesia is the legal name, Rhodesia was a shortened version!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Swaziland
History of Swaziland
British Colonialism

Swaziland also accepted. ACE to Wardonkey pls

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Rhodesia

i object the country of ipswich has now been taken over by the maurading english and was a member of the british empire

just because its no longer a country and wasnt a country at the time of the british empire and wasnt called ipswich when it was a country means nothing


ffs remember hippo hilton and falklands

thirded

and i was fkg born there

Nobody asked you.

Rob, already there for you bro.

Do I need a seconder to object to an objection?

To clarify, a dominion is basically what Canada was until the 1980's, so if you say it's part of the Empire then it was part of the Empire until about 20 years ago.

ty

 :hello:

Malta appears to be correct from that map too

+2 to JonMW for attempting to overrule an overruled decision

thanks kin and nak.

take it as an objection to the Rhodesia answers as well

looking for link

all of which were fails !!

Main article: American Revolution
During the 1760s and 1770s, relations between the Thirteen Colonies and Britain became increasingly strained, primarily because of resentment of the British Parliament's attempts to govern and tax American colonists without their consent,[41] summarised at the time by the slogan "No taxation without representation". Disagreement over the American colonists' guaranteed Rights as Englishmen turned to violence and, in 1775, the American War of Independence began. The following year, the colonists declared the independence of the United States and, with assistance from France, Spain and the Netherlands would go on to win the war in 1783.

somebody help me

South Rhodesia?

Added.

Can you update the results and check the fail score? Number of successful objections means I think its changed!

Loool

F Y L !!

you could use some help tbh

Southern Rhodesia accepted. Rhodesia is now a fail.

but were given as correct

andy t for an ace for hippo ffs and jonmw said that if it looks like a war and smells like a war then it is a war

he should see the wars down the local high street at a weekend

Rhodesia was the name adopted when the formerly British colony of Southern Rhodesia declared itself independent (Unilateral Declaration of Independence) on 11 November 1965. The name was also used with the establishment of Zimbabwe Rhodesia in 1979. After a brief return to colonial status as Southern Rhodesia from 1979 to 1980, the country became the independent nation of Zimbabwe in April 1980.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodesia


Therefore Rhodesia WRONG, Southern Rhodesia RIGHT

I object to John MW's existence and think he should be expelled from future quizes.

RobertHM has already seconded this by PM.

i am off to find some free porn much more intresting than this farce anyone want anything while i am there?

Question 4

Name a nation, that at one time, belonged to the British Empire.

Does the actual question mean that at one time belonged to the British Empire and is no longer a part?

googling objection to rhodesia. why would anyone give a country's former name unless they didn't realise that's what it was and found it while googling the british empire?

end of question 4 IMO

Need results updating before I can do scores!

lol. which countriies are still in the empire?

England ???

It wasn't America until after the British were sent packing. 

::)

3 fails and 1 Ace, somethings gone wrong wanted all fails. :)

reading the question properly ftw!!!

FML, I'm such a sheep!

High card was inspired!!!!!!!

rotflmfao

rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao

4 fails here and i wanted 4 aces


ffs how can tea be wrong its just what i order before i went surfing for free porn

and tea is free in most cardrooms

I'd nearly give it to Trace...AK is close enough to saying high card, in all fairness.  The rest of the fails...well, they deserve to fail.

Bollocks is AK close enough.

OBJECTION, my answer counts as a pair

Asa - this quiz is far more entertaining than the Citeh match.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v159/sharplesa/RSQ5.jpg)

[    ]  You're wrong

You should have known better.  On the other hand...we all know how Tracey's mind works and she should have passed this one. 

Edit....watch while the mis-quotes roll in.  Sigh.  FML...I tried.
