Newbury Racecourse's Best Dressed Gent. And What?

Right then....following on from Alex's "If this is the answer, what is the question" quiz of a week or two ago, it looks like it's time for me to pick up the baton and set a quiz myself.

In keeping with the theme of innovation we are going for something slightly different again here. The quiz is...

                                   'Absolute Blonderdash!'

Everybody loves a good cry of "farce" through the reveal of the Blonde quiz....well, now you will have no reason to. You are both respondent and judge!! Here's how it works...

Below are two words, a date, a person/character and a film title. Your job is to proffer as believable a definition as possible for each item...without resorting to cheating/Google of course. You score a point each time one of your answers is 'chosen'. You can also score a point if you select the correct answer from the line-up.

For example.... if the word was "abligurition"....you might enter the definition: "A pressure sore that grows on the glutus maximus". Now, "abligurition" is actually an observation of lavish spending on food and drink, but that's almost irrelevant*....as you score points for the number of entrants that select your answer as their guess as to which definition is 'correct'! Beware...sometimes the definitions are sensible...other times ridiculous!

*It's unlikely (though possible) that you will know the true definition of these items. If you do, good for you, well done, give yourself a pat on the back etc. Keep it to yourself, submit a novel and incorrect definition, and pick up the bonus point for choosing the correct answer from the line up. If you submit an answer too close to the true definition I will give you a nudge to change it by PM Wink

Timeline

15th Jan - Quiz opens for submission of definitions.
22nd Jan - Submission of definitions closes, definitions posted in the thread. Quiz reopens for submission of entrants' guesses.
27th Jan 10pm - Submission of guesses closes.
28th Jan - REVEAL


Right then....enough waffle. Time for the quiz!! Send me your 'answers' by PM with the subject line "Blonderdash". For your submission to be valid, you commit to selecting from the proposed answers of the other entrants between 22nd-28th Jan, otherwise your submission will be null and void.   In the event of a tiebreak whoever submits their guesses first will be deemed the victor.


1. Palooka

2. 24th March 1951

3. Sylvan Goldman

4. Jamon Jamon (Offer one-two sentences that read like the 'teaser' as to the film's contents from the back of the DVD-box).

5. Karoshi



Good luck!!

I knew all five definitions, so it lacked a challenge for me

I know two, and could make a good guess for a third.But two I have no idea about.


Doesn't really matter though,as it's about creating definitions that people will go for.

Are people allowed to enter phase 2 only?

I'd happily take a guess at the correct definitions and can honestly say that I genuinely don't know the true answer to any of them.

I understand I won't be able to win but my participation may improve the overall competition for those involved in phases 1 and 2.

Can those not wanting to play stage 1 nominate a ghost writer?

Done now.

Yeah ok, why not. Though obviously the more the merrier for both phases.

I've read the op about 10 times. Makes more sense than a kinboshi hand history, but I still don't get it.glglglgl all.
