"Ah, for the first time I've found a theme. Well, without being told beforehand. Makes me feel all kind of good" - [livejournal.com profile] norwegianne

And feeling good is what we're all about here at the quiz. A homey feeling, like we're all together in one happy house. Which brings us, unsubtly, to the theme of the week, which was houses. Just because. March is not National House Month, as far as I know. It's just... houses. New to our house this week is our guest mod, [livejournal.com profile] afterwards, who's adapted quite well to our madcap schedule of quizzing and drinking. Mostly the second one, I think. Let's see what happens, shall we?

"Unless you have a joint and a 'lude, I won't be able to answer that question." - [livejournal.com profile] mlewys

(And Pink Floyd fans everywhere cringe in pain and sorrow. -CV)

"Deep and dank tarn? Did it have pirates? Everything is better with pirates." - [livejournal.com profile] whiski_sour

"You know, I was in a role playing game once with a guy whose character was called Darran Tarn. He wasn't very deep. Or dank, either. He just sort of... sat around and ate jelly donuts. Back to the question, though, I'll say the Leaning Tower of Pisa, because jelly donuts made me think of pizza." - [livejournal.com profile] eridanusus

"The house that Jack built? (When he wasn't climbing beanstalks, or being nimble, or not eating fat. Busy guy that Jack.)" - [livejournal.com profile] debvel

In retrospect, this probably explains a lot about me." - [livejournal.com profile] varda222

Correct Answer: The House Of Usher

"When I first came here, this was all tarn. Everyone said I was daft to build a house on a tarn, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the silent tarn. So I built a second one. That sank into the black and lurid tarn. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the the deep and dank tarn. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, lad, the strongest House of Usher in all of England!" - [livejournal.com profile] loopychew and several others

3. During the first Battle of Bull Run, General Thomas Jackson earned the nickname "Stonewall" by holding his brigade firm on which hill?

(Somewhere, [livejournal.com profile] angledge cringes in pain. -CV)

"Can't remember, but if it'd been in this area we wouldn't have called it a 'hill'... it'd be a 'mountain'. Gotta love Texas, where our land is flat and our women aren't! Makes me feel all left out." - [livejournal.com profile] shinga

"Wow, it's American history. Which always makes me want to follow up with '...X'. Damn, Edward Norton rocks. Uh, so, House Hill? Hill House? Or, given Americans' egos, House Mountain?

"Molasses Hill, not to be confused with the lesser Marmalade Hill and nearby Marmite Hill." - [livejournal.com profile] modestlobster

(And then have been kissing them ever since. -A)

Correct Answer: Henry House Hill

"Interesting fact: Battle of Bull Run was the first commercially sponsored military operation. Bull Run made jerky and rum, and supplied the soldiers with both.

(Nope. Can't say that there is. -CV)

"The Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? I thought it was the CIA." - [livejournal.com profile] tiercel

"Dude, I thought that movie MADE money!"
After all, The New Guy has Eliza Dushku in a cheerleader's outfit, and really, that's all that matters." - [livejournal.com profile] eridanusus

(One can only hope that you're not talking about Bubbles the Power Puff Girl. -CV)

"Three bedrooms, full basement, big backyard for planting. Oh, and a bowling alley. Maybe a roller disco. Movie theater, with popcorn popping at all hours because we all know movie theater popcorn is the best. Swimming pool, movie stars. But I may be getting carried away." - [livejournal.com profile] kdlawler27

(How about these movie stars? -CV)

(Could be worse. You could be living with this guy. -CV)

"My dream house exists on A1A, south of Floridana Beach. On the East side, it rests up on a hill, surrounded by scrub brush for quite a stretch. The house is nothing fancy, no more than two bedrooms I would guess from the road. Tile roof with a detached garage; but from the other side, I know you can see the ocean. I imagine myself waking ever morning to look out over the Atlantic Ocean. And on special Monday mornings, I would skip happily to my computer to do the LJDQ as the ocean rolled onto the beach just outside my window." - [livejournal.com profile] mlewys

(Whereas on regular Monday mornings, you just wake up with a hangover. -A)

"I want to live the American dream: to be born in the gutter and have nothing. Then to raise up and have all the money in the world, and stick it in my ears and go PLBTLBTLBLTLBTLBLT!

(I recommend living far away from [livejournal.com profile] uninhibitedmuse. -CV)

"Well, it was pink at one point. Now it's really faded to an ugly puce, and has been home to more bomb scares than poor Barbie cares to remember. Hey, this is the kinda shit that happens when you have an older brother with firecrackers and m80's! But the best part was when he blew Skipper up for cheating on Barbie with Ken. After filling her up with ketchup. Mom never quite forgave him for the stains on the ceiling in the living room." - [livejournal.com profile] uninhibitedmuse

Maybe that’s just me." - [livejournal.com profile] rhapsody_iv

(-1, excessive drug use. -CV)

"My dream house would be huge, with everything one could ever imagine in it, and a dedicated staff to keep it running. With that said, you can now mail correspondence to my new address, The Mall of America, Minneapolis, MN." - [livejournal.com profile] vlvtjones

(Be warned that every South Dakotan after-prom party in existence will be taking place in your living room. Every. Single. Year. -A)

"It would be a lot like the house in "The 7th Guest," except with fewer ghosts and murdered children. And the basement would be one big room, instead of a super creepy maze thing, or else I'd never go down there." - [livejournal.com profile] silk_knickers

"Ever hear of the Winchester Mansion? Tons of rooms, windows, stairways leading to nowhere... yeah, that's what I'm all about. Totally sneaky." - [livejournal.com profile] diimmmortales, [livejournal.com profile] stephe

"there'd be open windows and it'd always be warm and I'd be able to have sex ANYWHERE I WANTED. Now that is the good life, there, what with that sexable house." - [livejournal.com profile] shinga

(I should mention that [livejournal.com profile] angledge lives in a home staffed with monkey butlers. -CV)

"I have to ask, what did you think of the season opener of Deadwood?" - [livejournal.com profile] mlewys

(Well, in keeping with the theme of the quiz, I have to say that Seth Bullock built a damn fine house there in his spare time. In other regards, I think having the Borg Queen as the madam in a brothel can only lead to sorrow. "Free Assimilations With Every Ten Blowjobs!" Calamity Jane, as always, steals the show, even with just one line. And finally, I think Seth could kick Swearengen's ass any day of the week. In summary, Deadwood rocks. -CV)



And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. Another quiz brought straight to your house via the magic of the Internet. Although most likely most of you are not actually at your own house and are bogarting your school's or office's internet connection instead of making productive use of your time. For which we respect you. LJDQ > work by most counts. Except maybe during lent. A big thank you to [livejournal.com profile] afterwards, who contributed quite well to this week's post. See you all next week, same bat-time, same bat-channel!

Ah, that reminds me. In a few weeks the "same bat-time" will actually be a different bat-time. [livejournal.com profile] angledge and I are quite surprised at the enthusiasm you all have shown, and are thus going to be adjusting the quiz schedule slightly to improve the overall quality of our product, as well as give us more and better time to assemble your comedic wisdom. So, starting the week after Easter, the quiz will be open to all players from Tuesday to Friday, we'll compile the answers over the weekend, and have them ready for you Monday morning so as to start your work week with a dose of comedy. Mondays need that upper shot, after all.

Rock on,

I just realized that I missed a chance to make a Katamari Damacy reference with the Animal House quote. CURSES and also emo woe!

And then have been kissing them ever since

Yeah, that's we want you to think, so we can get on with the pot growing and sex with sixteen year olds.

"All this makes me think of is Snatch. 'Ze Germans?'" - [livejournal.com profile] soleta

Yeah Tommy. Right before Ze Germans get there.

Whee! You rawk. Had I any power, I'd give you a +1. Alas, I have no power.

I saw Snatch and Blues Brothers for the first time on the same day - just before a roadtrip. My cohort and I mangled quoting of the two together, so by the end of the weekend, we were running around saying "They can't catch us! We're on a mission from Ze Germans!"

I'll, um, shut up now.

Oddly enough, I almost bought Deadwood at Game Spot the other day. I got Band of Brothers instead. I may have to go back now and get it, too.

Right there in the nerdmire with you. I love that movie. I, too, know all the words to the songs, and I didn't have the soundtrack. So don't feel too bad.
