The original Daily Quiz returns!

[angledge.livejournal.com]

What is this? A post from angledge? And on a Friday no less? What could be so momentous as to cause this anomaly?

As those of you who have ever bothered to read the community profile know, the ljdq is presented as an homage to Dave George, the creator of the original Daily Quiz. Today, the QuizMaster announced that he is starting up the Daily Quiz again, this time on Facebook. Those of you who always griped about our weekly quiz being named daily, rejoice! Because Dave is planning to post answers "each weekday, more or less."

The QM's Daily Quiz runs a bit differently than our setup; namely, you get the quiz questions via an email list. Follow the instructions on the DQ's Facebook page to get signed up!

And don't worry: just because the original is back, chaosvizier, lovellama, trishalynn, & I have no intention of stopping our cheap imitation quiz. The quiz - in all its incarnations - will rock on!

Meep! I hope Mr. Quiz Master is cool with ours... *bites fingernails*

[angledge.livejournal.com]

He is. I asked his permission (http://angledge.livejournal.com/131935.html) before we started it, & I think he played once? I can't remember if he actually played but he has stopped by once or twice.

I love that guy...

Pssst, I think he was hoping to get lucky... =D
Maybe he thought if he said yes, there'd be some sort of ... reward...

The photo was taken at one of Dave's stand-up comedy shows in DC. I asked him if I could start the LJDQ years later.

Also: I am about the drunkest I have ever been in this photo...

[demon-666.livejournal.com]

Yes, I don't let myself get drunk anymore...
Although, I have been lucky that even though I've done embarrassing, drunk things, no-one has actually had a camera to prove it... XD

lol, we're completely taking over the facebook one.

^__^

[angledge.livejournal.com]

Did you join it?

[naraht.livejournal.com]

And posted on the wall, and emailed to get in on the quizzes

[angledge.livejournal.com]

Sweeeeeet. Did you play the original DQ?

[naraht.livejournal.com]

[fizrep.livejournal.com]

[angledge.livejournal.com]

As J.P. Xenakis said on Facebook, "Work just got fun again!!!"

[fizrep.livejournal.com]

Xenakis is in? Oh man!

[angledge.livejournal.com]

Ah, don't make a big deal out of it, he just hadn't heard of us.

[joscelin.livejournal.com]

Naw wasn't really getting my panties in a wad.. sorry.. text=no inflection

Hey, I cut my quizling teeth here, so as far as I'm concerned, you guys are my original. ::iz loyalz::

[demon-666.livejournal.com]

I agree with i_calql8.
Also, am I the only quizzer too lazy to jump on the bandwagon of six (five week-daily, one LJDQ) quizzes a week?
Being Australian, if slacking off starts to seem like work, I must be in purgatory!

[angledge.livejournal.com]

Just like on this quiz, there's no requirement to play every time. Feel free to slack off & just read the Answers.

[demon-666.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but unfortunately, I can get a little OC... I will NEED to play if I see the quiz. As soon as I see a quiz, I can't stop my fingers typing, even if I know what I'm typing sucks...

[angledge.livejournal.com]

Awww, aren't you sweet? Still, I think you will like the original DQ as well. Dave George is a funny man, & from the names I've seen on the Facebook site, some of the original funny contestants are back.
