Putting the day’s frustration behind me, I am kicking off a Friday night trivia game thread which I hope you’ll all feel free to join in and give both questions and answers. Here’s the rule I’ve come up with after consulting with many of our greatest minds in internet guessing games.
Whoever is first to posts a comment with the correct answer, wins.
At the end of the night we’ll add up who has gotten the most answers correct and they will receive a brand…new…damaged hard drive actually used by PlanetPOV!!! And a Fun Size Snickers!
And please, this is just for fun, no wagering please.
Okay, this is movie dialog from three different movies, guess the actor who said all three sets of dialog:
1. “All right, Curly. Enough’s enough. You can’t eat the Venetian blinds. I just had them installed on Wednesday.
2. “I hate this detail. I hate this fucking chickenshit detail!”
3. “You’re not an idiot. Huh! You’re not a goddamn looney now, boy. You’re a fisherman!”
Good Luck!
OK my last trivia question of the night but I promise next weeks will be tougher.
What huffy regular used the title of a famous poem as their moniker?
That’s not fair, I haven’t been there since April and an hour or maybe even just 30 minutes in August, when I was a little sloshed.
Actually she posted allot more last year.
You are still here, I thought that I was the last one in orbit and your question, I can’t remember. Huffy is stored in the archives of my brain.
Who is it?
Well folks, I am beat like a Chris Brown rug.I’ve been at my computer almost uninterrupted since this morning so I think I’m gonna pass out right about now.
Thank you all for bearing with our technical trials and tribulations today, had fun tonight and next week, we’ll make it our biggest HuffNo night to date!
Thanks again for your support! Night all!
Bonne nuit!
Kudos to you, I take off my imaginary hat. Sleep well and goodnight.
Good night, adlib.
Have fun with Baku.
What actor do these films have in common:
The Spy Who Came in from the Cold
Ship of Fools
Jules et Jim
Truffaut.
(Heh, the joy of being able to edit misspellings in comments!)
Richard Burton?
You each get one point. Richard Burton was in The Spy… and Francois Truffaut (sp?) was director of Jules and Jim. Oscar Werner is the name I was looking for….major role in all films.
Morning, Escribacat. I am glad you’ve jumped back over here (I saw where you were at HP) because I wanted to say Hi to you.
I couldn’t stay over there, I just dislike it so now.
But I did see where our little friend Willt was. Ho hum.
Hey Monk. Lots of trolls on the health care vote thread. HP is at least 50 percent rightwingers now. There was a really bad fight on the Freak Show thread last night too (apparently a continuation of last week’s fight). People melting down all over the place!
Afternoon/Morning guys…said hi to you on that thread this morning, moving too fast…I see that the HITO/LNaga saga continues…they’re talking about it now when I went back a few minutes ago…must have been pretty bad…if your here, we should move to the private chat room that nicole set up, if you want to talk, here is not the place
And putting it all in perspective, those who enjoyed themselves here last night and those who got whipped up and infuriated over there…all wake up in the morning to find nothing at all has changed at either site.
All that stress and hostility…for nothing.
So, the wise choice of how to spend one’s time would seem more like the song:
Bobby McFerrin – Don't Worry Be Happy
. –
Very wise choice, thank you!!!
Escribacat: Not worth the irritation today. Although I did early on take one quick swipe at our little visitor while I was over there at HP. It was deserved.
Hey Monk…how’s it going, missed last night here…looks like it was interesting..
I’ve been helping others I care about today. It is draining but very satisfying. The weather here is beautiful. Went into town (I’m not quite “in” Phoenix) and the freeways weren’t bad, and I avoided the messy areas.
I wasn’t here much last night, the computer issues got to me. I’ve dealt with really slow, funky systems before, and usually try to find workarounds. I’m glad adlib was on the ball. Today’s response is good.
Yes. Response time is excellent today.
This quote “It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known.” was from what book?
Tale of Two Cities.
Tale of Two Cities
Dickens
~Tale of Two Cities
~Dickens
OK, here’s one.
What Canadian actor got his big break in a starring role in an Esperanto-language film.
I don’t know but I could sure go for a cup of Esperanto right about now.
There is such a thing as an esperanto-language film?
Yes!
We give up.
William Shatner in “Incubus”
Easy one folks, who can press their comment buzzers first?
What movie was this dialog in:
“Hey! Fuck ’em! Fuck ’em in the ear! What are you talking about? Fuck ’em in the other ear, that son of a bitch! Did I ever bust his balls? Did I? Did I? I could’ve jumped the dime a million times, and I wouldn’t have to pay the tip!”
Midnight Cowboy?
No but that is one of my all time favorite films. Trivia about that film, it was the first and only X rated film to win Best Picture at The Oscars.
That’s got to be from Goodfella’s
You got it! Joe Pesci said those lines.
After he killed the goomba in the bar, right?
Yep!
Was it the Pesci or De Niro character?
I am thinking John Travolta but what movie?
You are thinking about Pulp Fiction. Lot’s of similar lines in that movie.
I’m thinking Joe Pesci….
Keerectomundo!
What was Tony Curtis’ real name?
Bernie Schwartz. (just edited my answer because I just remembered his first name!)
This actress was first famous for – what?
She is my alter ego on the HP
“It’s *Hedley*”
Yes its Hedy
but what was she famous for
hint
something scientific (for KQuark)
something not scientific this was big
I was thinking of the line from “Blazing Saddles.”
Pepe is reciting a re-occurring joke line from “Blazing Saddles”. Harvey Korman’s character’s name was Hedley be every called him Hedy.
Skinny dipping, heh!
Ohh AdLib is the winner !!
Any one for the science question?
Did she win an Olympic medal as a figure skater?
What was Cary Grant’s real name?
Damn I should know this. It’s Archie something.
Archibald Leach !
No wonder her changed it.
You’re good I just heard it again not too long ago.
A winna!
They could be sisters.
Aw great, now I am going to have nightmares!
When they all say “Dahling” together, Satan cries.
Oh good Lord K, my eyes, my eyes, will someone please wash out my eyes!
Hey it’s hard to find an un-airbrushed picture of Aryanna now. She must have had one of her minions scrubbing the net like they do at huffy.
Yes of course airbrushed and if you look closely, soft focus around the edges on her tv appearances.
Reminds me of the Carol King song, “Your so vain,”
Who was the later-to-become-very-famous young black actor on Col. Kong’s B-52?
James Earl Jones
Love his voice.
Ding!
Too easy?
I thought that was fairly obscure.
OT but just saw this in our news widget from the BBC:
============
Somali adulterer stoned to death
Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:47:55 GMT
Islamists in Somalia stone a man to death for adultery, but say they will spare his pregnant girlfriend until she gives birth.
===========
WTF?!!! How fucking compassionate!
Horrible
What brothers had a #1 TV show in the sixties but their show was canceled by the media brass when they lightly parodied the war in Vietnam?
Too easy for me, I disqualify myself but excellent question!
You are disqualified from all my questions.
Smothers Brothers
Wow you have two and a half points just with my questions.
They got in some real trouble for that.
They were – Mavericks-
Everybody Drink!
I got my sake sake.
Does that mean that you have two glasses or that you are already seeing double? 🙂
Especially for PatsyT but open to everyone:
Who wrote the music for Mary Poppins, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Winnie the Pooh (the original), The Jungle Book and Bedknobs and Broomsticks?
Sherman and Sherman ??
Fantastic!!! A free chimney sweep for you! There’s a documentary on them coming out shortly called “The Boys”.
I remember seeing those names on my brothers 45’s.
They were pop legends!
Monkeys and such,
I hope they made out from all of that work.
Pepe I have a great one for you. What real life batshit crazy real life American General did Stanley Kubrick model the crazy General Ripper from Dr. Strangelove on?
Patton?
Nope General Curtis Lemay who came up with the tactic of firebombing Japanese cities during WWII because their dwellings were mostly wood and paper. These bombings actually killed more civilians than the atomic bombs. He was head of SAC and NORAD and use to have bombers fly missions deliberately over Soviet air space to entice them to start nuclear war. To top off his career he was George Wallace’s, the white separatists, running mate.
Actually all things considered he was much more dangerous than Dick Cheney. Dick Chaney was a phony liberal compared to Lemay.
