Thanks giving

Yep. In case I was in too advanced a state of refreshment last night to thank you..
Thank you. For your presence. And presents. And pleasance (that ain't a word, innit?!?) ..
Anyway, I had a fantastic birthday and night and it was all your fault :)
Danke. Thank you. Merci. Hvala.

And now that memory is returning (in bits at least), I seem to have promised a sneak preview.. I know I said noon-ish but I was still in the land of nod at the time...

So - here's a few... James Bond title songs, the length of the Suez canal, Marilyn Monroe and Judaism, Mars Attacks...

The things I do for you

Research has once again led me to and let me open doors that had better been left shut.

Don't know yet if/how I'll use the following nuggets for Quiky 266 but you've been warned...

266 - whazzup?

Plans for #266 on 27th include some wicked mystery object(s), and macros and maybe ball spotting. Other than that, the ususal confusing questions. And maybe more BS than last time.
Music might be cover songs. Or brought to you by the letters V & W. Or pot luck..

All in all the whole thing might be a tad more improvised than the quizzes of late, depending on the aftermath of the Fish night..

BTW - the "best" tables (up on the left) are already reserved, if you don't want to sit in the farthest corner and miss half the picture round - get your mails/calls in asap...

Update - I'm rather chuffed with this week's genetic experiments but this was wasn't good enough. You can have it for practice :)

Quiky 265 - Rankings

At long last... sheet got misplaced..

The naked truth

After spending almost 2 hours yesterday to get these two pictures done (admittedly, most of the time was spent drooling over Hugh Jackman :) I forgot to bring them to the quiz.
And since they will be old news next week and I'm not sure I'm going to use them (they were actually just meant to be a bit of eye candy anyway) - here they are. Purely for your viewing pleasure.

one for the girls

and one for the boys

Enjoy.

Assorted genetic experiments

Because I've been asked to (and somewhat promised to) put up some of the past experiments - here are a few, good & bad ones.
For readers unfamiliar with the "game" - I've combined, by means of more or less skillful photoshopping, 4 more or less famous people. Top and bottom half respectively. More or less. And some rather scary. More than less..
Enjoy..
Machense ma ne typische Handbewegung, wa?!?!












If you want to use them for your own quiz/amusement/blacmailing purposes - be my guest. And in case you get totally stuck, and it's killing you - ask for the answers and you shall be given. At least as far as I remember.. unless you ask for the bottom half of the right-hand side of picture no. 5..
Beats me.

Shape o' things to come

Just so's y'all know what to expect on the 20th ...

We'll have the usual questions, well-researched and prepared to be rattled down.
There will be fewer pictures for the time being as photoshopping with just one hand is rather tiresome and frustrating.. I promise to make up for it once I'm fully fit again (jayz, I feel I sound like FatAussieBastard...). I'll try and find some more BS for the third round as the culture vultures' number is not exactly legion. Music will be "Good & Bad" (i.e. songs with the words "good" or "bad" in the title) so start diggin' and listenin' now...

And as I might thave to catch an early plane on Friday morning, we'll either start on time (8pm, that is) or reduce the number of ciggie breaks to one. Up to you.

And one last piece of advice. If you want to make sure you get a table, especialy if you insist on a particular one, do reserve it by phoning the Kilkenny. That way you'll know straight away and the mail can't get lost/delayed.. Phone number is (030) 283 20 84.

Quiky 264 - Rankings

Well, wasn't that a nice evening... just about the right number of teams, no smartarses or moaners and from what I could see, everyone was having a good time... Long may it continue..

Here is last night's table, graph-less again as computer work is a bit of a pain in the behind single-handedly..

Super Nova 72
Cannonballs 67
The Lonely Unicorns 59,5
Still Strugglin’ 59
Pinkies & The Brain 59
Feid Club 55,5
Bonsai Brain 50
Africa 42,5
Blond & Bald 31
Spirit 8 (after 2 rounds)

New rules

As some of you might have noticed last week, the ciggie breaks were fewer and shorter.
And if that's the only way to finish in time if we always start 30 minutes late - so be it.

Up to you nicotine addicts - either show up for 8pm or smoke all you can on the way to the pub...

Quiky 263 - Rankings

Short, non-graph version for the time being. Not in the form and mood to spend much time photoshopping..

Die Muttis (haben Verspätung) 95!!!
Pinkies & The Brain 80
Landslide Victory 78
Indecisive 73
Team Zizou 63
Bonsai Brain 56

Muttis actually won round 1 through 4 and only missed the Durchmarsch by 1 point in the music round. Hats off!!

Halloween Rankings

Better late than never.. not that anyone cares anyway..
