blonde poker forum

There are 11 questions. PM me your answers by 11pm on Thursday 26th March. The answers will be given on the reveal thread on Sunday night at 7.30pm

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 hippo, with the corresponding hippo score.

You can't search for answers on the internet. Bear in mind I've been around on here ages so have a pretty good idea of how stupid most of you are - any signs of genuine intelligence or knowledge will be viewed with suspicion.

If you give an incorrect answer, this will be marked as a FAIL, and you will receive the hippo 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.

The need for seconding objections has been removed - if you want to object to any answer, say OBJECTION, and the Questionmaster will assemble the Council of Adjudication to make a ruling.

Unsuccessful objections will be punished.

Questions

1 - Name a Test-playing cricket nation.

2 - Name a famous man who has been known to wear women's clothes.

3 - Name one of the top ten cities in the UK ranked by population.

4 - Name a muppet which featured in The Muppet Show.

5 - Name a model of car made by Ford.

6 - Name a whole number between one and ten inclusive.

7 - Name a bridge which crosses the Thames in London.

8 - Name a subatomic particle.

9 - Name a film Kate Winslet has appeared in.

10 - Name a 20th Century British Prime Minister.

11 - Name one of the food items which may included in a full English breakfast.

We have already had a prime minister question and BTW wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Er, oh yeah. But this one is narrower in scope - more difficult to get an ace.

lol Q2 ... is Flushy famous ?

Kin must get an ace on this 1

Glad my son is here this weekend

anyone who doesnt pass on Q8 is a cheat ... FACT!

sigh

some of us listened in school.. 1st question I answered

i am in

sent and won this MONTH

question 8 is easy (i hope) if i remember my higher chemistry (my only higher)

infact anyone who took 1st year chemistry at school should know the answer to question 8 unless i have missread it

answers sent.. now to go look at the answers

I am in .... I predict a rather uneventful mid to bottom 1/3rd finish.


Which I will deem a roaring success.

with daughter at a and e but will submit answers when we get home... Hopefully some time today. Sigh.

wtf is a subatomic particle? And i can't even google to find out.

nice easy pass then ;)


hope everything is ok :)

Sent.

Considering the debate on the rate my fry up thread, Q11 is going to cause a little controversy.

[  ] That wasn't my intention at all.

[X] It was a good plan but FYL

I know we stole this game from 2+2 but someones even stole our questions

http://forums.multiplay.co.uk/rants-raves-other-nonsense/66531-reverse-sheep-game

I have entered and will be the first repeat winner.What do i get?

Sent my answers in then googled sub atomic particles and still not sure i could give a correct answers. What about "dilithium crystals" ?

Bring back John MW as QM pleeeeeeeeez.

Woo hoo !! We are back.

Sub atomic whatacles? FYL

Did anyone struggle with the concept of the whole numbers question?

I did.  So I googled it after I sent in my answers and I still don't get it.

i take it to mean 123etc but not 1.23

I was going to use 'integer' but thought 'some of them won't know what that is, but they'll all know what a whole number is'.

fml they think the falksland  was a was too

What he said, I think...

Sent!

Ask kin or my son

fk knows what he was on about though...

It's a particle that's sub-atomic - ldo.

[ ] that helps

It's easy. Just take away all the supra-atomic particles and the ones you're left with are the sub-atomic ones.

Clear now?

A brick isn't a sub-atomic particle.

Phew, it's a good job I haven't sent my answers in yet.

{Note to self: change sub-atomic particle to something which isn't a supra-atomic particle, or a brick}

not even when you shit1?

the clue is in the question its a particle sub atomic

i have entered, ty for doing this Andrew

2nd-10th would do nicely tyvm

sent - another mid table mediocre performance beckons :)

cheating!

fuck.  just realised I have made a schoolgirl error.  am I allowed to change an answer before the deadline?!?!?!?

after sending in answers it struck me that some of the questions didnt really have many possible answers - i see some big scores piling up this week ;D

I read this as


cheat, dq please

nope - i've actually got one completely wrong :(

as it happens we do have one the same, but wouldn't change that

On the plus side, the one I've got wrong shouldn't generate too high a score for an incorrect answer, but I will look a bit dim :)

when the wrong answer is revealed you'll understand no cheating involved ;D ;D

[  ] You read the question properly
[  ] You can change your answer  (can't really set a precedent on this as everyone seems to hit Google as soon as they submit answers)

FYP :D

[ ] you are wrong.

Gods were on our side.  She won't die, and I won;t kill her because we were home in time to see the GRAND SLAM!!!!

 Luckily she's a bit like her mother and was happy to feck off if they didn't see us sooner rather than later.  Neither of us us willing to miss the match, so 'mother of the year' award still in the running and Ireland have the Grand Slam.  All is right with the world.

Reverse Sheep Quiz is now sponsored by Guinness

Pretty sure Heineken are cool with taking the starting blame.  And after a drunken vote, the rest are ok with it too apparently.  Democracy.  Isn't it lovely?     

Hopefully I am right in assuming your daughter is ok now?

Oh yeah.  She'll be grand. One way or another anyway.  She was up to no good, hence the lack of 'give a shit' in me replies.  Serves her right.

As someone who hasn't read quizzes I, II, III, IV or V.

Can I just ask..

WTF IS THIS ALL ABOUT?

Hippos, whale sharks, the Hilton Las Vegas and The Falklands,

obvious really.

plenty of people who have read quizzes 1-5 would like to know the same. just send andrew answers to the questions and tune in on reveal night. you'll soon get the hang of it

First post for the first quiz -
http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=40258.msg904670#msg904670

First post for the second one -
http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=40420.msg908932#msg908932

If you read those 2 and the first post of this one then you're probably as up to speed on the game (if not more so) then anybody who's entered them

Just have a go Keith, you'll loathe it or love it, still not sure myself. Just remember that the question master is always wrong, start with the presumption that he is a dilbert who needs correcting and you won't go far wrong.

In and almost definitely won :)

LOL ... winning is not the aim of the game ... winner HAS to set next weeks quiz... 2nd place is the real winning position, and anything other than last is a success.

fcuk. no one told me that bit.

Because we all hope you win!   rotflmfao

You will almost definitely be surprised.  It's all about 7th-level thinking, sheer luck, and not having JonMW as quizmaster.

Good luck!!


 rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao

 rotflmfao rotflmfao

oh yeah.  that's why I deliberately got one wrong ;) :D

I'm in.

And can I just say in advance that my answer to q8 is non-googled, and if anyone has the same one they must have googled it :).

I just spent about 5 minutes deciding which one would be the best to tactically pass. Which is very sad, in retrospect.

That's very defensive of you, and totally not suspicious at all.

I have one thing to say.

Eagle's Greatest Hits.

O'Rly?

Alright - Take it easy.

At last an admission.

I'm hoping to run goot this time.

Spending countless hours on sporcle in the last few weeks might pay off for the Prime Ministers and London Bridge questions.

Unfortunately there were 9 other questions too, mid table imo.

I hope you didn't go for the same one as me...

lol - I was wondering if I was overdoing it trying to go for too many levels of thinking in that one.


Right now I've just got to finish my psychological profiling of everyone in the quiz to work out which whole number up to 10 they're most likely to say and I'll be ready to PM my answers :)

I predict a lot of people will have the same answer as me for Q8.  It beings with a P and ends in an S

Oddly enough, no one else put pterodactyls.

wheee - an ace!

Despite their relative sizes, I foresee a whale problem for question 8.

Damm - just googled number 8 and I knew it - although I would never have got it.

Sent, I am confident with my answers...:)

same here, another bottom half finish predicted. gtfi.

is it thursday yet?

It is in the same way a hippo is an aquatic mammal.

So what time is the reveal? ;)

The day after tomorrow's tomorrow.

Good.  Gives me time to get this sorted at some point.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Shoot the QM IMO
Quiz took ages to post and now the reveal is like waiting for a hippo to come out of the water.

I will prob miss most of the reveal as its scheduled for Friday or Saturday night as this weekend I will be mostly getting drunk.

Sig is genius LOLOLOLOLOL

The plan was to have a gap between the last quiz and setting the questions, as i knew I wouldn't be about in the evenings this week. But I got bullied into posting the questions early, so you have to wait for the reveal thread.

I'd missed it, thanks for pointing it out.

rotflmfao

Bullied/abused/harrassed is in the QM job description. Get comfortable, plenty more where that came from.

FYL

When is the reveal exactly?  I need to plan my social life.


[  ] Above statement is true.

[ x ] I need to plan when I'm going to the shop to buy micro-meals.

entered

[  ] pls let me win

Friday - 7.30pm.

Answers sent

Planned position : Tighty>Me>ironside

GG Vic updates, i am just gonna be on this thread all night and make up the hands etc ;)

Norkage ends at 7.30pm then.

Bugger.

No, quiz

ewww not nice

Sigh, I will be contributing drunk later on then.

More sensible posts probably

Answers in!

BUMP!

Answers in by 11pm tonight please.

Is that GMT?

Don't see why not.

Just clarifying.

Bugger - 2nd Reveal in a row while I'm travelling :(

Am I waiting in vain?

Dunno, is your Sat Nav broken?

rotflmfao

[  x  ] perfect level of sarcasm for this thread

Potential spanner in the works.

Due to an unfortunate sequence of events, just about every single thing in my flat has spent most of the previous 24 hours covered in condensation, including my computer and monitor.

Hopefully it they'll be dried out by this evening by the time I get home from work but in the event they're not, the reveal thread will have to be postponed due to waterlogging.

(http://news.bbc.co.uk/media/images/39822000/jpg/_39822353_telford_emp300x245.jpg)

Shame we're not all hippos...

Yes, my pet hippo seemed suspiciously happy this morning.

please be waterlogged tonight, don't think I can make it

+1

 Waterlogged FTW

just do it on the pc you wrote this on

As much as I love this game, I'm not staying at work on my own all Friday night to do the reveal.

well you shouldnt have won the last 1 then

dont do the crime if you cant do the time.

internet cafe FTW

Sunday FTW

Nooooooo, I forgot, can I do it today

Purleeeese?

and what caused so much condensation?

Ok - but you're not allowed to submit any aces.

Almost guaranteed :)

10:59:22 PM was my entry didnt want anyone knowing my answers and cheating  rotflmfao

Water in the flat went off whilst I was having a shower yesterday morning (right in the middle - I'm covered in shower gel and the water stops). Now, I thought I turned the shower off at the tap before I went off to work...

So, when I get back to my flat this morning, I open the door to what appears to be a sauna. Obviously the water had come back on at some point with the shower still on, which ran for who knows how long, before the water cut out again.

I've left the windows open to air the place out and will go back at lunchtime to see how it's getting on.

My flat has water everywhere except coming out of the taps.

Done, thanks

Dehumidifier FTW

(http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/get-water-4.gif)

So what you're saying is that you didn't go home last night?? And you had had a shower?

Sod the quiz, just give us the DETAILS.

[  ] Nothing gets past Dingdell
[X] Nothing gets past Dingdell when it involves potential gossip
[  ] It's as scandalous as it appears

and there was me thinking you had a nightshift job on the go

[X] Everything is potential gossip
[ ] I can keep a secret
SPILL

too much info!

This. See my kids on Friday nights

(Robert, shall we lock the thread until Sunday?)

No, unfair to others BUT we can always, accidentally, ban someone for a short while.

Maybe just an accidental posting ban, so they could still read the forum.  That sort of thing?

Maybe, it is so easy to have such an accident, always careful not to slip, but it can happen.

Well I did accidentally  lock a thread the other day when browsing the site on my phone! 

:D

Just went back to check on the flat and the water is back on. I immediately knew this because, yet again, I'd managed to leave the shower on. Luckily, because I had the windows open there was no repeat of the condensation.

Think my computer is probably ok, but I know my laptop is ok as that was in a cupboard.

If people are happy, I'm more than prepared to postpone the reveal thread until Sunday, after reading the comments on the thread.

I'm offering to do this because:

[  ] I'm kind
[  ] My computer is broken
[X] I have a hangover
[X] I don't want to miss out on giving grief to Robert HM and Kinboshi

I think Andrew should just give me the answers and entrants. I'll stick a pin in one of them and they win. I'll post the answers -we are all happy. It's roughly what happens anyway.....

objection

Good work fella.

Here's a tip, for free.  Turn the shower off.

Farce

get on with it Tracey, enough of the excuses

p.s I need to finish 2nd, thx

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKgPY1adc0A

I'm sure there's a relation there

Was waiting for a comment from you!!

rotflmfao

am out tonight anyway, although having spent 3 hrs in the pub for lunch already, it could be a very short evening !!

QM needs shooting, sacking, then shooting again, then should be put in front of a flock of stampeding hippo's

Saturday reveal should be confirmed now IMO rather than the impending doom of this evening.

Fck all our lives if the reverse sheep quiz has to be decided by duckworth lewis due to QM ineptitude

Bring it on! We're used to grief.

Sunday, do keep up please.

FARCE sunday is no good for those of us not here on a sunday

i am looking forward to tonight (althout i wont be here till 10ish)

So what's the final decision - Friday, Saturday or Sunday?

Hold on - he has a hangover and he was out all night??

Why don't we have more information about this???

The only reason he's getting off so lightly is because Claw is updating, otherwise Andrew woudl be posting answers as we speak.

Sunday.

Because I'm the Questionmaster, not the Answermaster.

And I don't have an answer to that - bugger.

This coming from the guy who forgot to turn off his shower....TWICE!

noooo, tonight please - why change?

+1.

adam leave julies account alone

get out and have fun you 2

We can't. Skinto and all plans rearranged for monday.

Ironside - she's logged in hersself!

proove it

(http://www.travel-notes.org/photos/hippo.jpg)

This hippo feels so strongly about the lack of answers, it has given up it's watery home to hunt down AndrewT!!!

never mind jonMW even robertHMs quiz was better run

i came home early for this failure of a farce of a failure of a sham of a mockery

I am disgusted.

Farce.

There are no sub-atomic particles anyway. It's all a mirage, a sham and a deceit.

so you passed then?

btw for those colchester kevs out there

an atom is a single molecule of a n element like for expample hydrogen or oxygen

so sub atomic is something smaller than an atom than makes up the atom

when i was at school we were taught there was 5 of this

but seemily there is alot more


now watch me fail the question

This behaviour is worthy of a ban, surely?

i would ban you claire but i cant as your doing the update and tightend would kill me

 ;slavedriver; ;slavedriver;

OK I'm here now, please start.

The sooner we get this one done and dusted the sooner we can get on with a proper RSQ, fecking Hippos indeed.

too easy

Anyone else bored as hell? set your whole night aside to argue take part in the reverse sheep quiz?

I've found this online:  http://bored.com/games/play/244/Unfair-Traps.html

i have gone hunting, in pub, all the quarry are too young, and music sucks.

or better still, come and follow the updates from the Vic :)up

http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=40992.msg930051#new

Well done Andrew T - giving the public what they want.

FYP

Reverse sheep question to pass the time.

After condensationgate, what will be the excuse for tomorrows dismal failure?

I reckon, "the dog ate the answers"

The dog ate the answers - that's my guess.

my guess is the hippo ate the answers

+1 for my Ace

Feckin joke.  That is all.

but on the plus side it gives us chance to sit and watch the Bulgarians get their @r$e$ whooped :)

Fingers crossed.  Been painting all afternoon.  Still trying to tidy while the match is on when I should be sat in the pub with a pint watching it.  Bad beats all around.  Sigh.

I'm waiting!!!  (http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e367/gatsby6306/DirtDOG.gif)

All the major towns and cities are preparing in case there is another delay

(http://www.dominionpaper.ca/files/dominion-img/DOMINIONspp3.preview.jpg)

The spreadsheet is done. The preliminary pre-reveal thread scores are done and they're very interesting.

I'm tempted to do it now - could be done by 3am...

DO IT!!!

This F1 race is going to take 90 mins, a perfect chance to reveal the results.

Just dont have a bloody shower today !!

Remember Andrew, if the water has stopped - don't faucet.

what time is kick off later anyway?

Later please, 8.30 ish would be good.........

earlier please 7pm would be sweet

JFDI!!!

Is it safe to assume this will still have the scheduled 7.30pm start?

FYP

Failure to start on time may lead to me becoming about as popular as the decision to give the Austrian Father of the Year award to Josef Fritzl.

I think you should postpone the reveal until Monday evening :)

lol.

You WERE supposed to reveal on Friday! So you are late whatever. Just because a few people asked you to change, you ignored the majority who didn't ask. If you have set yourself any standard, other than to emulate JMW, you have failed, big time. This quiz has taken more than a week, far longer than an other quiz, I doubt whether the reveal will justify the unwarranted delays.



http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=40845.msg929513#msg929513  shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

sheesh, look at what you're doing to Robert by delaying it, please don't postpone it longer!

[  ] Just bust out of a tournament on purpose early to ensure I got home in time for this

[ ] went well then

I'm just having a couple of pre-farce cocktails.

Dude, it's not even dark yet!


La de da :)

uh oh

Drunk in charge of a Sheep

That never ends well

(http://www.octopustouch.com/images/medium/giant%20champagne.jpg)

Fill her up!!

Careful, it's fragile

The hippos are just beginning their parade lap before this evening's fun.

Please ensure your objecting fingers are fully warmed up before we begin - wouldn't want anyone to get injured early on and miss out.

I've got M&Ms this time.

Wouldn't want a repeat of Wednesday night's fiasco, (where I had no M&Ms.)

I had fizzy cola bottles but peaked too early and they've gone now

pizza and garlic bread due soon though, let's gogogo

Have you firmed up on the rules and regs relating to objections? I would hate to be picked on.

I have maltesers and I am just about to stick my pizza in the oven lets gogogogo.

Pizza on a sunday?

That's just bizarre.

• pizza on friday
• pizza on saturday

[ ] pizza on sunday

We have Pink Pigs, White Mice, Wham Bars, Vimto Lollies, Muller Amore Yoghurts and Caramel Rocky's.

Pizza, Chicken Strips, Nachos, Chocolate Cake, Warm Cookie Dough and Pepsi Max to come at 8.30pm.

Maltesers here too :)

Now I'm hungry.  FML

Welcome to the reveal for Reverse Sheep VI - The Hippo Strikes Back.

There were a record 46 entrants which makes this the most successful Reverse Sheep thread of all time on here and me, by extrapolation, the best QM. Entrants are allowed to bask in my reflected glory.

The need for an objection to be seconded has been removed - anyone can object to any answer. Failed objections will, of course, be severely punished. Successful objections are, of course, unlikely.

Now, if you're all sitting comfortably, it's time to begin...

Zimbabwe - Junglecat03

[    ] I agree with the above statement
[ x  ] Obv being the last QM I'll take all the credit for the increased entry level

Only because you left entries open for 1293 days!!

Objecton - they cant play test cricket!!!

(they try and tke part but thats about it)

ok.. next

I'm missing Kate Humble for this - next answer pls

FFS!  Doomed.  Doomed I tell ya!

That, and 7 of the original entrants have since died of old age.

ooh, the first failed objection I assume. what's the penalty mr T?

Zimbabwe is a full member of the International Cricket Council (I.C.C.) with Test and One Day International status, although it is currently inactive in Tests (see below).

They can play tests, but are currently choosing not to.

The penalty is having to take part in this farce.

;popcorn;

It had better be a good penalty!

FML, Sri Lanka was inspired

You copying so and so's :D

so what you're saying is they don't play tests? good

Question asked for test playing nations, not nations capable of playing tests if they chose to.

Are you objecting then?  Tread carefully...I reckon he's a twisted quiz master.

The Council of Adjudication has been convened and is investigating this objection.

[  ] Having a differing point of view on something to Keith has worked out well for me in the past.

So what part of "England cannot play test cricket" is incorrect? :D

the only way they can win is when their opponents end the game prematurely when behind on the D/L method!! ;D

I never said I was objecting.

I am currently deciding whether to object or not.

[ ] good objection

[ ] the example you give was a test match

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_cricket#Test_cricket_playing_teams

They can't play if they choose to.  They're suspended - hence NOT a test playing nation - FACT!

(Not that Keith was objecting of course, he was merely entering discourse on the subject)

I hope Camel objects, I'm totally fired up to deatil my status as "marathon runner" given that I am eligible to enter marathons.

Chicken

Unlike Zimbabwe who aren't eligible to play test match cricket.

Bollocks - just burnt my pizza.  FML.

What flavour is it?  Hope it's hippo and spinach.

Technically you are correct, as you didn't actually say objection (I jumped then gun a bit).

Do you want your answer to go as a fail, or possibly get it reversed and welcomed into the fold of non-failers?

Doing this the same time as conclusion to the updates = A+ timing :)

"Zimbabwe is a full member of the International Cricket Council (I.C.C.) with Test and One Day International status".

Does suggest they ARE a test playing nation.

But, seeing as I didn't realise how much work winning this thing entails, I am going to refrain from objecting, just in case :D.

Spam alert -

down to 5 at the Vic!  News on the way....

http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=41026.msg931242;boardseen#new

objection to west indies please as that's not a nation

not even sure the west indies exists in any form other than as a cricket team anymore

Oi favourtism, there was no objection, it would have failed anyway. move on. Fecking Farce

He could just change his answer to Sri Lanka like everyone else and probably get the same number of points as a fail anyway.

I have another quote:

"Zimbabwe aren't a test playing nation, in the same way as a hippo isn't a bloody aquatic mammal."

More love is needed for the Scotsman gettting an ace on cricket IMO ;nanana;

good shout

Oooooh, good one!


No, because you googled.  No way a Scotsman got an Ace without google!

1 is not that uncommon a score in Scottish cricket.

thanks

consisted of these places

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Indies_Federation#Provinces

but not since it was disbanded in 1962

After the support I gave you on the McDonalds question? Shocked at the lack of Celtic solidarity on show -  you're back to being a yank now.

Objection noted, though upholding it means failing the QM, which I'm reluctant to do.

he can't put his hand on his heart and say he's spent his life living in scotland completely oblivious to cricket ;)

Question 2 please.

Obviously you've put a few in deliberately in the wrong place to see if we spot them or not. Wouldn't be a QM fail, is such a thing possible?

Pakistan played in Glasgow a wee while back, and we constantly get asked to put on the cricket in the pub for my mate Naz, from Pakistan.

QM has failed already, move on.

Lotta good support was with the burger quiz, but at least someone finally acknowledges my Yankness.

does that mean that the people who put England also have incorrect answer as the correct answer should have been "England & Wales"?

You don't know the half of it.

I'm experiencing some slight spreadsheet fail - need to give it a kick.

You should be telling them that they're  missing out on the Sheeeeep :D

You say that like it is a good thing?  ;carlocitrone; :dontask: ;dingdell;

Not only is this a farce, it's a bloody drawn out and painful farce.

Bring back Jon MW

Leave the fekin West Indies alone. Valid answer. Next question please.

Could be worse.  Will get back to you when I've figured out what's worse.   rotflmfao

Right.

The Camel didn't actually object.
Gatso did, but that is rejected on the basis of QM infallibility.

Are we STILL on the first question?!

Superb decision. Hippos FTW.

I might go and turn my shower on and leave it running...

Gatso fail imo.

Gatso's penalty for failed objection?

When does the quiz start - I love quizzes me!

so you may as well just give us the final scores as there's no point in anyone appealing anymore. who won?

and matt also appealed btw. was that successful?

So what's the use of ever objecting. You think you're the Pope or summat?

LOL Neeko ;tightend;

rotflmfao

[ ] good example of infallibility

Was just Cheese and Tommato.  Bit crisp.  But nice.

Obviously AndrewT >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Pope

But - doesn't this mean that every objection is guaranteed to fail?

lol - brilliant!

Famous? Objection.

[ x ] good example of the doctrine of infallibility

Sod this, going to get some cheesecake.

I knew I should have gone for a member of Queen.

[ ] Yes, that's not a misnomer

Not necessarily - he was objecting to the question. Objecting to answers is more likely to succeed.

He objected to the answer West Indies no?

I'm quite sure gatso has no problem with your finely worded question.

Yes famous.

He's RookieITB, from the internet.

Part of the world-reknowned Flushy's stable.

Wore women's clothes once.

So, failed objection there...

Objection on behalf of Tighty. Richard O'Brien famously wears stockings and suspenders and womens undies. Why is that a fail?

wtf? I objected to west indies. how is that the question? that was an answer

Did he play Frank N Furter then?

The issue is not whether the question fitted the answer, it's the other way round ldo
Why did we bother waiting??

Also funniest answer so far, so deserves the Ace.

Where was the table of scores for the first question anyway? ???
 
 :dontask:

So that makes everyone on Imatranny.com famous and eligible to be the answer. Farce

The one's who are also a part of Flushy's stable it would

First question the scores were the scores in the answers.

(https://www.shutterpoint.com/photos/3/20070523_112439_Hippo%20Tutu_thum.jpg)

Yeah - think Tighty got him mixed up with Tim Curry.

He was the narrator.

:(

And no pretty little pictures to illustrate the answers either?

You're all wrong - except Rich.

"The British writer, presenter and actor Richard O'Brien sometimes cross-dresses and ran a "Transfandango" ball aimed at transgendered people of all kinds in aid of charity for several years in the early 2000s."

And he was also the narrator for Little shop of horrors (which he wrote) and wore womens clothing while narrating....

(http://www.timewarp.org.uk/lab/RichardasUsherette01.jpg)

RookieITB is on google that makes him famous.

http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=RookieITB&meta=

Has he got a picture on his hendon mob profile?

That would surely settle the matter conclusively.

Google me and you find I'm on there but I don't claim that's fame.

Are you saying you wear womens clothing?

when did travolta dress as a bird? not an objection, just interested

Hairspray, the new one

They're not womens clothes.

They are Roberts.

hairspray i think

keep up, we're discussing fame here.

Objection Upheld

Richard O'Brien now an ace, not a fail.

ah, ok, cheers

2 questions in 1 hour

FARCE

imo

I assume west indies is now a fail as qm fallibility has been established?

[ ] surprised

Good news peeps - the wedding is back on - soon to become Tracey Tracey.

Too late now i'm afraid.

fallability was never in question - the qm is male.

At the rate this is going on, his funeral is going to happen before any wedding has a chance.

All objections past?

ready for the table?

well he did say he would marry me over his dead body so it's defintiely on!

I think so.

Rod Paradise will be my Anthea Redfern this evening.

Oh ffs - get on with it!!!!

Sound like a married couple already.

Erm, formatting scuks - will work on that.

Does he wear a dress as well? He's on t'net so we could have used him as an answer then.

what was the result of the rookieitb objection? did I miss it or was it just brushed under the carpet?

EXTRA SPECIAL 'DIDN'T READ THE QUESTION' FAIL

Beijing - bobalike

Twas a failed objection.

I am keeping count of those...

move on

Will people stop copying me FFS

;grr;

Come on, you have to say now! If you leave it until the end you can fix the scores to your liking. FARCE.

Where does the hippo come into it? I thought this was a sheep quiz??

Cancel that - found a later list.

am here

 any kick offs yet?????

Decent start IMO, I will be in the middle of the pack at the end, that's a result in my book.

Any answer from CDW1111 & Ironside in that one O quizmaster?

(and please put the ace answers on a different line from the person who got it - they f*ck up my spreadsheet - no excel on this computer)

lol

bradford was obviously googlified, no way anyone from down south comes up with that answer

so did the peeps who said Sheffield imo.

have yet to see a proper answer from Ironside in any of the reverse sheep quizzes yet..................

;whistle;

I too misread the question and thought you were asking for the most populous cities in Alabama.

I therefore object to my own answer, it should be treated as a fail, and everybody else who put Birmingham should recieve one less point.

Ask your betrothed.

They be passes.

I will try - having my own spreadsheet woes here.

depends which programmes we watch on sky  ;)

Any changes to scores because of objections?

FML, I thought it said Ontario






(NOT! as I don't want AT to get a chance to hit me with more point)

No, move on

No - failed objections are not punished with points.

I have something else planned.

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Any objections to the Cities question?

Scores and next questions please.

Lets move this along, I plan in being bed for 10:30

Thanx.

Does it involve finishing the quiz this evening?

I can bring in a new rule.

Don't have to tell anyone what it is in advance though.

10.30am tomorrow morning maybe...........

Formatting still poor, meh, microsoft works spreadsheet FML.

A quality of a good rule is for it to be know in advance and so allow society (or entrants) the choice to comply of not as they will be aware of sanctions for disobedience.

It's gaining some momentum.  Good good.

FML I was sure the Swedish Chef would be an ace.

Objection on behalf of Tighty - he obviously googled this answer - no one would have known this name - this should be a fail.....Dr Julius Strangepork - Tightend

Google is your friend

No fails = no objections

Next question please

dunno about the others but muppet babies is one of my fav cartoons!

this.

+1

even more worrying is the fact that this is probably the first sheep question without a "failed" answer

"the muppets"

just about sums it all up.............

+ as many as it takes.

Naming of Muppets at the last blonde bash would have raised loads of objections.



or not,

Let's see how the formatting goes, and Link Hogthrob is a great character - captain of Pigs in Space!!!!

Sheep suicide - love it!

Just tallying them up - FML with another ace though - thought J Edgar Hoover would be, Pakistan not a hope, and then get Crown Victoria from a Jack Reacher novel I was reading during the week - if I'm not careful I'll win.

Scoring faulty.  Can't go from 12 to 14 when I've an Ace that round

LOL

I grew up with the muppets FFS!!!

Er, yeah.

Thought you had the pre-farce cocktails - not the feckin' spreadsheet.
