Na aber Hallo.. ween

before I forget - for those who are note 'regular crowd'.. Halloween Quiz is up soon and you need a reservation (last I checked there were 5 tables left)

Also - there's one bonus point for every player (6 max per team) who turns up in costume (at least 3 parts, no silly little princess crowns or Burger King hats.... it's Halloween, NOT carneval).

Ye Wilde WongaPinguDanceChampionsLeagueFinal... aka WQ#61

bit later than usual but busy bee, me.
THAT was a fanflippinftastic night (except for slightly unruly behaviour from some quarters)... and spannend bis zum Schluß ;)

CONGRATS to the new Championes for the next 12 weeks - Ladies and Gentlemen, give it up for THE AMAZING GRACES!!!!

Quickly, points, pics (or link to the first 50) and final table... as well as book for the next 3 weeks.
Yogi-Recht liegt noch für 2 Stunden bei JustMetToday (welcome back..???) - if I don't get anything I'll pick all 3 rounds.HAH! :P

Ye Black & Wilde Quiz #60

Apologies for the lack of updates here, was busy with non-quizzical stuff, and since most peops are in the fb group anyway.....
Anyroad - great fun it was again, and what a lot of pleasant surprises.
Our very own JK Rowling (regulars will remember the voting marathon ;)) HAS ACTUALLY GONE AND WON THE FLIPPING AWARD!!!! Congratulations to the amazing authoress and thanks a million to all who have helped her do so. YOU ROCK - all of you!!!!
Only slightly less important - TOON WON TOO!!! 

As did Cannonballs in the penultimate round of Champions League season 5. Meaning that now they're only 9 points behind the leading Graces and we can all gespannt look forward to next week's FINALE!!!!
Which reminds me - Pergamon, you have till Monday 12:00 to send me your suggestions for the Yogi Round. By mail.

And now - points and link to th first few pics, and the CL table. And The Book for the next 3 weeks. If you want in - PLEASE PHONE 2828166 and get your name in the book in Oscar Wilde. Ta.

Pooh, Ponies, Pirates & Plans. Shiver, my timbers.

Well that was way more entertaining than the first half of the Toon game that had for supper ;)
Congrats to Amazing Gracies (music experts too, now? LOL), and more so, PONYCLUB!!!! First ever medal, lovely shiny bronze one. And a new Pony Highscore. Girl Power Night!!!
Cannonballs & ??? - might want to work on their music :P
Anyroads - quickly points, and table (3 weeks left, eh!?) and the first 30 pics (or link to them.. all up in the fb group).. and book. Remember - it's getting autumn (despite claims to the contrary) - it's getting fuller on Thursday night so if you want in - reserve in time.
Yogi Right - if you return on 27th - goes to The Noobs, after them to Buggers, and danach to Intestinal Pain. Do send me at least 2 suggestions for your favourite topic (no 'single celebrity', no pirates :(, no Pooh, no Pulp Fiction, no...whatever we had in the last 5 weeks)
On 11th we'll have the annual Ossi, Ossi, Ossi round (week after 7 October ;) and WQ59 MIGHT include an Alcohol Round (no actual alcohol involved though) - it's Arthur Guinness Day. Rest - let's wait and see.

Food for thought.. and song

I've been compiling lists of "Songs about..." for quiz nights for quite a while now (there are some lists, but spread over hundreds of websites, and far from complete - this one ain't either :).. Anyroad, this one has taken ages to put together and I thought that all that sleepless nights' work should not be wasted.This is the result of titles found in lists on the 'net and pulled from my own musical library. The list includes some cover versions but mostly just the original, find your own remakes ;)
There are some alcoholic drinks included though songs about booze is another list, for another day. Also, while there are songs about 'non-alcoholic' bevvies listed, I've not put down every song about water (ist zum Waschen da... ;). Also - I've listed 'orange' songs even though it's about the colour... (bit like 'Fly me to the Moon' in a list of 'Songs about... animals' :))
Some of the songs are German Lieder... just because I am :)
If you have any more suggestions or corrections - please leave a comment (I could do with a few more 'new' songs.. always get complaints my choice of music is too 'antiquated'.. which it should be, after almost half a century :).
BTW - the list is roughly 350 songs long.. if you're interested, peek behind the cut. If not - thanks for reading this far :P

Super(man) Quiz

Super fun (as always) and scores that make YWQCLS5 really interesting ....

Oh, and GO BUY & READ "Falaysia - Fremde Welt" - I'm well into it and can't put it down. I do declare..:!!!
