Quiz time… the dame on the left is a gimme, the middle one a little more arcane….

Quiz Time!

So I saw Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds” for the first time yesterday.  What the hell was that about?!

50 States – Delaware

I have always felt kinda bad for Delaware. As John Powers observed in “The Last Catholic in America” (aka: the story of my childhood), the best way to get noticed is to be the engine or the caboose. Everything else? Nobody cares. Delaware finishes next to last to Rhode Island in the US Land [...]

Quiz Time!

I have a student taking my exam who has the following image on his T-shirt. I may offer an “A” to him in exchange for it. Where is it from and what is it?

“Jane, You Ignorant Slut…”

We have a commenter, Mac, who apparently supports President Obama and the direction he’s been leading the country.  Or, at least Mac seems to not like former President Bush (“W,” not “H”).  Mac has asked us to debate him.  When asked to choose a topic for debate Mac has been silent, so, to help [...]

Quiz Time!

What the heck is “Watchmen?”

I’m serious.  I honestly have no idea and I want to know.  I mean, I know it’s some kind of movie that’s coming out soon, and it has something to do with comic books, but I don’t have the foggiest notion what it is beyond that.

Quiz Time

I’m blogging on the couch with one of the Firefly mongrels and she wants to know what your favorite breed of canine is and why?

Quiz Time!

Since the site’s all abuzz about Birthdays today how about a Birthday related quiz?

What was your favorite Birthday gift?  Why?

Update:  Apparently there seems to be some confusion about what is meant here based on some erroneous replies in the comments.  Please note the word “was.”  Not “is,” not “would be,” “was.”  What [...]

And The Winner Is….

Thanks to that last-minute Stillers TD, TRO wins the Threedonia Super Bowl Pool!

Interesting choice. TRO is more of a semi-regular, regular. Good comments for sure, but I’ll be interested to see what sort of video (he? she? no clue) asks for. This assumes that TRO blows through to claim his/her prize. Looking through [...]

Quiz Time!

It’s nearly SuperSunday!

Who will win the Big Game?

What will the final score be?

Who will be the MVP?

…and the winner is…

It’s the game show everyone is playing, “Numberwang,” from “That Mitchell and Webb Look”

And here it is in German for our Deutsch Sprecheners…

 

Quiz Time!

Why do I use the above image for the Quiz Time! category?  Do you know where it comes from?  As always, no Googling.

Quiz Time!

If you could live anywhere in the United States, where would you live (you can play too, thud)?

Assume you would have the means to earn an adequate living there, etc., but purely based on landscape, climate, geography, local culture, etc…, what’s your ideal, U.S. city?

Quiz Time!

What the devil does this mean?!?!

and cause never was the reason for the evening, or the Tropic of Sir Galahad…

Quiz Time!

Who wrote the following words? The answer is below the fold.

“When history looks back to this era it should recognize this generation as one which cared about human beings enough to halt the practice of war, to provide a decent living for every family, and to fulfill its responsibility to its children from [...]

Quiz Time!

Why 96 tears?  Why not 94, or 97?  Nothing in the song rhymes with six.  Can you even count tears?  I’ve seen people shed 1 tear, but once you’re past one it’s a question of duration, not quantity, isn’t it?  Why 96?

Butt Peachybutt? Really?

My brother’s drive-by blogging this morning in the comments section of this old post got me to wondering what our pron-star names would be in these parts. (Bro dubbed himself “Lance Girth”, which is wishful thinking is oh-so-many ways). So I found one of those pron-star name generator thingys and went to [...]

Quiz Time

Now that we have a name for Floyd’s home please help us codify some of the other features of the Threedonia.com landscape.

What should we name Outlaw’s Ford Mustang?

Chuck’s toaster?

Eric’s mustache?

Floyd: Very Funny!

O.K. now, Mr. Trivia, tell me where this related cultural reference is from:

Card says, ‘Moops!’

(All Threedonia.com readers are welcome to play along, but NO googling!)

Toast post: Toast to live by

Toast as inspirational metaphor:

Let us not settle for dry bread. Let us all aim for buttered toast.

Words to work by. Brought to you by toast.
