blonde poker forum

As predicted, kinboshi failed to deliver.  Like it or lump it, I'm here to pick up the pieces.  Or make bits of it...whichever.   :D

Standard reverse sheep rules:

1) Try and think of least popular/unique answers. Like on Pointless.
2) Score for each question is the number of people who gave that answer.
3) Lowest score wins.
4) Highest scoring answer is the sheep score. Incorrect answers score sheep score + 5.
5) No using google etc.
6) No asking for clarification on questions. Answer however you may interpret.


Simple!

PM your answers to me by 11pm Wednesday 19th Sept. The reveal will take place at 8pm on Thursday the 20th.  That's this week folks.

The more people who play the better it is. Only takes 2 minutes to throw some answers together. And even the obvious answers don't always do too badly, as of course no-one is stupid enough to actually go for them...



You must pass on one question. You score 0 for the question you pass.  I don't care which one you decide to pass, but make sure you pass on one...there will be penalties for failure to comply!  Just haven't decided what the penalties are yet.

1.  Name one of the seven deadly sins.

2.  Pick a colour of ball used for snooker

3.  Name a piece on a chess board

4.  Name one of the 10 cloud types in the troposhpere (that's the sky for some of you)

5.  Name one of the NASA space shuttles

6.  Name one of the top 10 newspapers in America as stated in Wiki this evening.  (I've already copied the list, so don't try to edit wiki ffs!)

7.  Name a comic book hero who hit the big screen

8.  Name a domestic farm animal

9.  Name one of the blood types

10.  Name one of the top 20 most powerful women as listed by Forbes

11.  Name an NBA team

12.  Name a Harry Potter Film

13.  A thread on blonde with 1000 PAGES or more.  (stop changing it to suit you Boshi!!!)

Not done one of these before...I am I able to join, as long as I promise not to out-herbie everyone?

All welcome...even yourself and Herbie. 

First entry has been received and already I predict carnage at this reveal.   rotflmfao

I've seen the last couple of RSQs.

I figure you either jump in with both feet or not at all...

You've never seen a Laxie RSQ though...

i am in i think i might have 13 aces

I'm fairly certain you do too...in a wrong sort of way.   :D

fml i think i may have boobed i put in the most powerfull person in the USA i just hope she is in the top 20 of the world

WTF does "in wiki" mean?

I will be in eventually

in

Not asking for clarification of your question, just pointing out your misuse of the word 'wiki'.

IN

...and am going to unleash hell during the reveal :D

In. Not sure if done it right but scared to ask...

Huh?  You don't do 'scared'.  I should be worried, shouldn't I?   ;surrender;

If I'm understanding correctly, it's pick a correct answer that the fewest other people entering will pick...and the angrier you make everyone else in the process, the more bonus points you get.

That close enough?

That about covers it.  No RSQ is complete without tilting Tighty.  Tilting Kinboshi is just a bonus.  The rest of you are expected to aid in this goal by objecting to as many of their answers as possible.  You also have to give the QM as much abuse as possible so it doesn't look suspicious.  It's obv a conspiracy.   ;angel;

The depths some people will stoop to.  Can report, the reveal will be 'interesting'. 

Changing the questions once they've been posted.  Tut tut...

In. Can't be much disputing these answers so can see tighty and kinboshi getting a few wrong for trying too hard.  :)

Haven't looked at your answers yet, so this isn't in reference to you, but there's gonna be some disputing...I promise ya that.   rotflmfao

Do I need to edit my answers or just promise not to come back?

To whom it may concern, even Laxie. If  must.

If I am penalised for answering an edited question in good faith and with a correct answer, when I myself was NOT the one who abused my mod powers, I will withdraw my support for any future RSQs forthwith.

I humbly suggest that the concept will then wither and die alongside previous attempts to resuscitate what was once a noble quiz played in good faith by many, and which has come back from the calamities of Laxie, Delboy, Smashedagain and Laxie quizzes of yonder, which frankly were an affront to the good name of quizzes.

Yours Sincerely

Nine Time RSQ Winner.

All hell's breaking loose and we haven't even started the reveal.  This is going to be great fun! 

I think you're safe Tal.  Not checked your answers yet, but can't be worse than some of the trouble makers around here.

in

not sure why

You're safe.  The abuse of power happened after you had submitted your answers.  However, Ms Cove is still affected.  Suppose it's better to be affected than infected.  Swings and roundabouts.

Always affected. Pretty sure I'm ok as far as infections go though - after all, how many times can you catch the same diseases?

There's limits on it?  Blimey. Who knew? 

You have a pm which includes a 'get out of jail free' card.   ;)

Just had a Herbie moment. Looked back over the questions again. Could not remember answering a question on cheese boards :)

Blooming cheats!

I've a good mind to put that kiboshi over my knee...


Pm returned!

it wasnt kinboshi it was me if we get put over your knee

21 minutes later?  Surprised you lasted that long Iron.

i make it 14 minutes plus i am hardly ever online

My bad.  I should have known you wouldn't last 21 minutes.   ;D

21 seconds would be a bonus

In.

What a lucky bunch you lot are.  Jack is teaching me how to do a spread sheet this evening, so you now have an extension until midnight to submit answers.

Disregard.  I thought today was Wednesday.   rotflmfao

I'm in - a virgin so be gentle and don't take the p**** out of any of my answers lol

ooooooh - a virgin!  You're in for it when the cougar finds out. 

I'm not a Cougar anymore.

Ran out of targets so extended my range.

Prepared to consider any applications now from 20 - 33. Maybe 34 to include Tikay, but no older than that.

in

You wish. She said 34........ Now have a go at the quiz

Lol

On the list of entries it says there are 14. However, I can count 15.

This does not bode well.

Possibly put less thought into it this time than last time, hope I bink.

Ty for running it Laxie

Oh my god yes. I actually know answers for all of them except the forbes one I think ... this will be interesting! :)

Oh man...the little one's turned up.  How did you find out?!  Hope you're feeling better and be gentle to your mother ffs!  x

Really? REALLY???

Don't mind him.  He's only grumpy because he tripped over his own two feet and gg'd his lappy last night. 

My pleasure to do the quiz and hopefully the reveal will be entertaining for everyone.

Less than 5 hours left to submit your answers!!!  Come join the pain fun   ;goodvevil;

You posted it on your facebook.... duhh! :) lol and era ya I'm getting there thank god :) and no promises lol :) x

Ahem...

[You did say I'm supposed to cause as much trouble for the question setter as possible]

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii - ENTRIES ARE CLOSED!!! 

I may allow a late entry or two if I master spreadsheets, but don't count on it. 

I predict WAR on two questions.  [ ] Yay!

Come on...Stayed up late for this!

Mug of tea on standby.

The reveal is tomorrow :)

Ah.

I'll set my alarm then :)

Poor Technolog is up to his neck in spreadsheets while I sip a pre reveal glass of wine. See you @ 8

Sigh missed it :(. Was planning on defending my title as chopchamp!

40 minutes to prep yourself. You've not missed it yet.

Please tell me you are accepting late entries

LMAOOOO!!!  You must be joking.  No chance of anyone else getting in now.  To top it all off, the new puppy has just taken out the 'L' key on me lappy.

Maooo. You make me augh axie

Did he take it out after you typed that post?

Anyway, I await the scores, "axie"

Jason you are on another level!

Boooooo to no late entries!

Dammit!

:)

Post your answers in the thread now JK then we can see what you cudda won

Ill try and record them as the reveal is done lol. Got to walk to dog though so maybe not!

Quick!!!  You have 12 minute to type 'em out and Herbie will keep track of your scores.  What could possibly go wrong?

Oh, I'm ready...

Right.  Before we start, I think you all should know there were some sneaky tactics employed by members of staff here.  But never fear...I've kept them in line.  Mostly.

Question 1
(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a167/Laxie/RSQ%20Hell/seven_zpse68d542d.jpg)

LOL - you set stupid questions and are trying to deflect.  I changed the OP to make a question make more sense, and then told you I'd changed it.  You then said you wouldn't allow Tighty and Mouth to change their answers (the only two who entered during that period), which was just plain daft.

Anyway, RIP RSQ.

No complaints?

EXCELLENT!!!


Moving on then...

Just lol @ horseplayer

Objection! None of this would have happened if you hadn't ducked your duty and not handed in a RSQ on time!

answer format fail

You do realise it's YOUR fault if RSQ dies. All you had to do was put up a quiz but noooooooo, you dilly-dallied too long and we got stuck with the mad Yank!

You're incorrect.  Three people were affected.  Tighty, Mouth and Smashedagain.  All three were given the opportunity to amend their answers as it was the only fair way to deal with your blatant abuse of power.

Was half way through my RSQ, and then Laxie put hers up (unrequested).  Mine had a picture round, video round and even a music round.  Was going to be epic.  In the bin now.

Blame Laxie.

If you want to see a blatant abuse of power, I can oblige ;)

Question 2
(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a167/Laxie/RSQ%20Hell/snooker_zps4119a1aa.jpg)

(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a167/Laxie/RSQ%20Hell/turquoise_zps8b594c9e.jpg)

You can bloody talk.  Your RSQ's were bloody ridiculous.

I said Avarice. Yes it is the same thing but it is spelt differently!

DELETED ABUSIVE IMAGE.

Not suitable for this forum.

Objection.... Red is no defined as a colour in snooker, everyone knows that

No one went for black..... Hope I win I have a great prize for the next one.

Yes, I know.  Yourself and redsimon were brainy, but ya got whaled.  That's when answers are the same, without being the same word.  They get grouped together.  You got grouped.  Well done Einstein.  

+1

Objection.its reds and colours. Strictly speaking red is not a colour with ref to snooker

By that reasoning, nor is white

What that man said

Sorry Lads, but I'm looking at all sorts of snooker pics all week...and there's loads of red involved.  I'm letting it through.

It's a colour of ball on the table. It's not a colourless ball is it?

Correct. Reds, colours and the white ball.

Perfect.  We all agree red is on the table.  Works for me....and Skippy.

its laxie. I am interpreting what,she thought she was asking. Got to allow for her

Question 3

(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a167/Laxie/RSQ%20Hell/grasshopper_zps5d835a2e.jpg)

LOL

not within the terminology of the game though, within which any GOOD qm should be referencing their questions

Yup. Please enforce this. Re marking generates loads of problems.

All these people banging on about spread sheets when we all know you do it like this

(http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r631/smashedagain/1FB7CBBA-9F4D-4887-ACF7-A60E246ADE13-741-000000CC49B43E79_zpsfa8d0c5b.jpg)

Thanks

Yeah, yeah, yeah...

I'm not hanging with fairies.  Was talking chess for men, not leprechauns.

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

It's a fail.  

Why is it?  It's a piece, found on a chess board - like the question asked?

http://www.chessvariants.org/dpieces.dir/grashopper.html

Dawn, it's right.

Used in chess problems and is an accepted chess piece. Give him the damn ace.

Locusts count?

That's not found on a standard chess board though.  It's on some made up fairyland thing that doubles as chess.

Tal Grasshopper is an ace. Too intelligent for this QM

Great answer

 I came on for answers.  My eyes are bleeding.

Same as you doubling for a Yank

No double standards please

If you haven't sponsored me yet, I'm running the Berlin Marathon a week on Sunday for the JoiningJack charity.  The charity is looking for a cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy - which is a nasty disease.

Please spare a tenner.

http://www.justgiving.com/kinboshi

Tis ok....I've decided to go with the majority this one time to show I'm a reasonable type.

Will give Tal the ace despite my better judgement.

You tell 'em. You may as well have pint glass or a draughts piece, since they can also be put on a chess board. Is it in chess? No.

Yes, it's found on a standard chess board.  Just not a standard piece.

Democracy rocks!

I'm not running anywhere for anything ever

Even a bus

I might though if the chippy is about to close and I am hungry

Laxie

Fix it so Sharp"everyone will know at least 8 avenged sevenfold songs"lea doesn't win

That is an order.

The last time was a disaster to rival Delboy, Londonderry and Herbertmob

I repeat, that is an order

I already did.

I got this one wrong.

you can't afford a fail in these mate. The std is far too high :)

I'm sorry, but I can only work with what I'm given.  You mods have abused your powers enough already during this week's quiz.

I'm all or nothing me, herbie

Not guilty, even by association

Please withdraw that slur.

No way anyone can dispute that one, so we'll motor on to the next.  There's total mayhem coming up, but I can't remember which number it is.   rotflmfao

What's the list?

Philadelphia.... Inquirer?

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZR2chRvQI0

As stated in the question, Wiki.  Here's the link...

Question 7

(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a167/Laxie/RSQ%20Hell/Doom_zps884bf572.jpg)

No. The question was top ten newspapers as stated by wiki.

Said nothing about circulation.

It gets over 80million unique views a month

Rupert the Bear I contend is not a Comic Book hero under accepted definitions

Objection

He is a children's character, in no way heroic

Agree. He performs no heroic feats aside from wearing a scarf in summer.

wow. Didn't think that would be an ace

Goody for them, but they're a website and not a newspaper.  Soz, not budging on that one.

;grr;

I was thinking the same, but would have to fail Dennis the Menace and Tintin as well if I were following our opinions of heroes. 

I was surprised too.  They tried so hard to be different, they left the obvious ones wide open to get an Ace.

STFU!  Tintin's a hero, he solves crimes and goes on adventures.  He has a dog called Snowy and his favourite band in the Thompson Twins.

Completely heroic.

Yes

so fail them

dennis the menace not a hero

Tintin probasbly is, adventure comic books and film

Dennis is an anti-hero; tintin at least does good things against the odds.

But the question was HEROES and not comic book protagonists

You'd want to behave.  We're discussing a fail which would include you at the minute.

rupert and dennis are 100% fails

Feel very strongly about this

No more heroic than smashedagain posting shite from his iphone

https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=tintin+hero

He's a sodding hero.

I agree

rupertthebear is a bear, in check trousers and a scarf, with cuddly friends

Anyway, faill away - got to go now. 

Can everyone give Laxie hell in my absence as she kills the RSQ, again...

Need someone other than Cheatboshi to agree with you or we move on...

Ahem...

Tal agreed with me on Rupert, Laxie

You have a cold or you're in agreement with the Tight one?

(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a167/Laxie/RSQ%20Hell/giraffe-kissing-baby_zps9e25a0f1.jpg)

Hey Iron - It's on! 


no need to thank me  xx

6 week ban please tighty

Still time to recover, Tal.

Still time.

FFS!

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee giraffe is an ace who would of thunked it

No complaints?  

Excellent!!!

Can we keep as calm during the next question too, please and thank you?

Hello

where in the world please is a giraffe a domesticated farm animal?

thank you in advance


Nice answers all round there

Where do I begin with the word DOMESTIC?

edinburgh zoo

(http://www.trbimg.com/img-4feb029d/turbine/hc-building-implosions-20120627-004/600)

means in this country

That well-known farm?

that's not domesticated or a farm

FAIL, unless a link is shown otherwise, please most glorious QM

There were so many other shite answers I had to accept.  I mean, seriously....how many farms have you been on with llamas, yaks, alpacas & deer?!  Said feck that...giraffe is going in too.  Only fair.

edinburgh zoo has a petting farm

Now then...

i object to deer but all the others are fair

Shhhhhhh  I would have too, but it made the cut on the official list.  Yours....not so much.  lol

ok fail girafee and turkey ffs thats a country

Actually, you have a point.

Sorry but Giraffe is a poor effort! Absolutely terrible lol.

Side note, COME ON HERBIE

Ha yeah sorry about that. Vinny has told me off for that picture of the biggest penis in the world. So obv fake I did not think it was offensive

Question 9

While I'm getting the scores for this one, can everyone please take a very close look at the chart above.  It would be much appreciated and save potential mayhem.  Ta.

Notice the wee - and + after all of them?  Have another look...just to be sure.

And I got a ban for less than this

is red an ace?

she has a point though

sorry how can red blood not be a type of blood i have it running through my veins

You have a point too...thinking about it.   ;carlocitrone;

Very well done Laxie, - or + required on all blood types

Firm but fair QMing

Wiiiiii I'm winning.
Passed the blood one coz I could only think of red and blue :)

I concur.

If you don't think it matters, never work in medicine.

thanks i get alot of red blood with a point

Blimey.  Can't believe I'm getting that one through.  You lot are either very smart or a bunch of wimps!   rotflmfao

Oh no

Dawn, stop Herbert

Most important

herbie should of gone for blue i am getting an ace with red

I'd change yours to an Ace but it's a pain in the backside fiddling with all the spread sheets and won't really alter your place on the leader board.  So I'm not gonna.  xx

Come on. Now the twins are at school full time from last week Catherine has been pushing for me to get a full time job.
The RSQ is my out because it took me 16 hours a day for 3 days to do my spread sheet last time. Fingers crossed.

thats not very nice did you fail giraffee and turkey for me though?

Feeling confident over this next one.

Might get myself a drink to celebrate

No.  I aced giraffe and turkey.  No need to thank me.  

i think i aced question 10 and no way to prove otherwise indepnedantly

Question 10
(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a167/Laxie/RSQ%20Hell/forbes_zps5e0da15b.jpg)


(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a167/Laxie/RSQ%20Hell/fish_zps5289bed3.jpg)

if you fail them i will accept the fail for red blood if you accept turkey i want an ace for red

oops wrong question must of been 11

Oh wait!  I've to add another picture to this one...

(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a167/Laxie/RSQ%20Hell/redwoods_zpsadf8c23d.jpg)

I aced the next two for sure

Here is an alpaca farm: http://www.marshwood-alpacas.co.uk/

Now, we need to talk about Rupert the Bear. Originally, I didn't put up much of a fight since I thought I'd goofed and he hadn't been on the big screen, but I've found at least one example of him appearing at a cinema, so I'm going to put up a fight here.

Firstly http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hero#The_modern_fictional_hero suggests that "Hero" is just another word for protagonist. Who could argue that Rupert the Bear isn't the protagonist of his eponymous cartoon strip? The question wasn't "super hero" was it?

Secondly, Tighty and Tal's description of Rupert being someone who just sits around wearing a scarf suggests their literary criticism isn't up to much. Rupert frequently has to save his friends from unpleasant fates. What could be more heroic than that?

not sure if i aced it but i know i am correct you try out bench pressing her

Did anyone say Xena Warrior Princess?

If you let in Red, how is Congealed not a type of blood?

The question said types, not blood groups.

i agree  FARCE

Just have to say sheepdog was a quality ace without cheating

No panic.  Not a hope I was giving an ace to red on that one.

I talked about definitiins of comic book hero not modern fictional hero which is the different term you looked at

I contend they are different

you try to out lift her one of most powerful weightlifters in the world pound for pound

He's a hero.

He's in a comic book.

How hard can it be?

Dont care what you do about red - congealed is a correct answer.

Inspired.  I was impressed.   ;)

My answer was Christine Lagarde

I edited the private joke which I crossed out in my PM and you chose to repeat in public (cheers for that), out of your answer above

Red Simon knew Oprah too and how the hell is lady gaga a woman?

Katie Price? Not on the Forbes list surely?

COME ON HERBERTTTTTTTT! HOOOOOOLD

Skippy! Superman saves random people, batman saves a city from a vicious gang...and Rupert saves his friend from a swollen ankle.

Might as well be a "hero" who can juggle or who can rhyme on demand.

I'm sorry, but when you were given a chance to re-submit, you failed to cross it out a second time.  I was therefore bound to take the first answer of the two.

My mistake about the other bit though...was hysterical, but I agree with the edit.  Soz.

if turkey is an anmial and not a country then rupert the bear is a hero in my book

comic book hero = superhero, clearly

Not a comic book character, per se

ok I'm done. I had to resubmit because of cheating, no idea I had to cross-out again, assumed it would still be

Absolutely pathetic Dawn

 
You've just proven my point. The question didn't say how heroic the hero had to be, did it? And besides, hero just means protagonist. Poirot is the hero of the Poirot books, but he's never pulled children out of a burning building using his little grey cells.

You're not pouting - AGAIN?!   rotflmfao

Awwwww, cheer up...it gets better.

I'm sure if Laxie had meant superhero, she'd have put superhero.

You'll be telling me red isn't a colour, next.

or a type of blood

*facepalm*

Comic book hero does not mean "main character".

Fail answer ainec

Pending the rescoring after accepting 'congealed'.

and red

I'm reconsidering Rupert...

I like bears.

Yeah...no way you Lads are getting those through!  lol

can i change my answer to black pudding then?

Have you read the question?

4 points clear. Looking at staples on line for more paper and highlighters already.

Please don't let me down on the last two. Surly can't chuck it away from here

Make that 5 points Utah Jazz an ace and MintTrav n notsosharplea fumble :)

Lol Herbie, lucky I wasnt in, that was my snap answer!

damm miss read i thought it said nbc

It's pretty close at the top

wow i am 40 points clear i have this in the bag

HEY!!

What's wrong with Doom for the comic book question?

There was a Doom comic.

There was a Doom film.

Close. I can't possibly lose it from here.

oh yes you can

Taking my correct lagarde answer I am close to winning. What a stitch up. Seriously, very disappointing.

You can all stop objecting to your anal answers now. No point kicking a fuss up to come second.

Found Doom video games, but no Doom film.  Find it for me and we'll talk.

Meanwhile, if Skippy can find a film reference for Rupert the Bear, I'm giving that an ace too.  Which will obv mean Dennis the Menace has to be passed as well and throws my fecking spreadsheets tits up.

Debut season and I have been finding more aces than every big blind I try to steal

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0419706/

doom was a huge budget film laxie

Lol. Just having a bit of a domestic now. Just told Cadwell that I am about to win the Rsq

I lied.  It was the comic book we couldn't find.  Agree on the film though.   rotflmfao  Find me a comic book.

There was a doom film but it was worse than the second Mortal Kombat movie

It'd be closer if you knew how to score. In my head I'm on 21.

do i have to do everything

http://www.doomworld.com/10years/doomcomic/

now can i get an ace for red blood?

Ok so...will give Doom the Ace.  What question was that again?

22 you mean if you scored 1 instead of 8

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0261265/ is a Rupert the Bear short film that Paul McCartney was involved in. As you can see under Trivia, it was shown before a Paul McCartney film in "theaters". Therefore, Rupert the Bear has "hit the big screen".

You sir are in the Kinboshi/Tighty camp. And it's not a popular camp. I am stopping tighty winning his 10th Rsq tonight and it feels good :)

YAY!!!  I so badly wanted to give Rupert an Ace!

Dennis is getting through now too because it's only fair.

Thankyou. Nice to see a competent QM :)

Well... apart from the rest of it of course ;)

Lagarde, please.

Short film does not equal film

Yeah but a fat lot of good it's doing me!

Lagarde.

Six off my total

I feel like Harry Potter

You have to read the question. The quote was "hit the big screen". Been on a cinema screen? If so...

(http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/1348547/Furney-Kick-game-cam.gif)

It's good!

what shafted by the school bullys?

No, he's a complete wizard's sleeve.

How hard could it be, right?



Question 12
(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a167/Laxie/RSQ%20Hell/Harry-Potter-harry-potter-24330736-800-600_zps3d72d20f.jpg)

Im sorry Claypole, but WHAT?! rofl

Just like to say well played to horseplayer tonight as well.  Not a good night for tighty lol

i read a review that the hobbit was just a remake of harry potter, just written 30 years or so before harry

Being completely ignored by the QM too

Not being taken too well in Tightyville, it has to be said

I know, I know, I know...was a spread sheet error, but sorted now. 

Fair. Methinks someone is confusing Alan Rickman films!

I've chucked a sheep in at the death and advantage was not taken by anyone :)

I'm not ignoring you.  I thought you'd gone off to pout and didn't realise you were back.  Welcome back yer Tightness!

Christine Lagarde was my answer, and I sent you a PM showing you, which you ignored

2 points, not 8, please

thank you
