TOTW 15/08: Confetti Quiz
« on: April 28, 2008, 05:19:56 am »
Happy New Week BetterMostians!  :D


Let's try something new this week. We'll do a quiz, but I won't provide the questions, and there will be no virtual prizes to be won this time (and no real ones either ;)).

I'll start with the first question. If you know the answer, post it, then ask another question in the same post. Please mark your answers with a bold A and the new question with a bold Q.

Questions must refer to the movie or SS. They may be easy or hard, they may be about hard facts, like numbers, dates, colors, or for example about a character's motivation/feelings – anything you can imagine. It may be something you know the answer to, or actually something you never quite managed to figure out, but never got around to open a thread about it. Or something to which there is no real, definite answer (eg asking for an opinion). You get the picture.

Answers should be given to your best knowledge in general, but humor is welcome, too. After all, this should be fun.

I have no idea into what direction this will evolve – if it will work at all. But it sure won't work without your collaboration! Let's just try it and see how many Q/A we can get in one week! :D

(BTW I named the quiz Confetti Quiz because the questions/topics may become motley like confetti – if it sounds strange to you, please bear with your nonnative mod ;D)

A: The soup boxes were not hard to pack, they were BAD to pack, according to the bandy-legged Basque. And the reason they are bad to pack is because, well, soup in boxes? In saddlebags on mules? That could be a big mess!! Especially if you come upon a bear!! Better stick with beans!!
