Yeah, it's a bit late this time.

No wonder I haven't known what day of the week it was -- all week! You're my calendar, ljdq. Don't do this to me. My boss doesn't like it.

[germankitty]

Whoo-hoo! Four, and part of the *cough*periodical*cough* group-think on #4. Go, me!

[alfvaen]

Three! After weeks of lameness, my funneh has returned! (Note to self: last week's "make up answers before reading the questions" strategy was apparently only amusing to me.)

[etumukutenyak.livejournal.com]

The funny thing is, my toast actually was on fire. Not so much a "foom!" as a "flicker", but still an interesting way to begin the day.

[i-calql8.livejournal.com]

Two anna GotW! Even though no 'Arthur' or 'Animal House' love, the mods did grok the geeky, and it was good. I am still amused by the simplicity of this game.

And congrats on germankitty for her beyond astronomically rare pwnage this week.

“I am the very publisher of comic periodicals

Wins the quiz.

[germankitty]

Awww. *wubs you, too*

And no, I'm NOT chanting "he's got a -1, he's got a -1!". Nuh-uh. Not at all. Never. Moi? Would I DO that?!?

Yes. Yes, I would. Am. Teeheehee.

[drbear.livejournal.com]

Do I get credit for two answers on No. 6?

Also, the last time it was asked, I asked in the comments if anybody knew what movie that line was from. Nobody answered, so after two years, here is the answer to the question you all have forgotten:

True Stories (the David Byrne in Texas flick)

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

I decided that everyone needed a four-day weekend. I mean really, how could it hurt? Some extra days off, a bit of R&R, goofing off and eating candy, that kind of thing. It's all good. You'll thank me for it one day.

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the quizlings really demenstruated their love of period pieces. The answers were flowing so fast, it was cramping my style.

[i-calql8.livejournal.com]

Meh. Knock yourself out, kiddo. This is, like, my fourth GotW -1. I barely have room on the mantle for all of them.

And, I almost forgot--SPRING BREAK NEXT WEEK!!! w0000000000000000t!!!

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

It's amusing to me too. You'll see how amusing shortly.

[i-calql8.livejournal.com]

Not gonna lie, a 'foom' woulda been soooooooooo much cooler. Just sayin'.

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Sounds like you cook like I... cook. Fire: It's the universal cooking agent! And cleaning agent! And killing agent! I mean, really, is there nothing fire can't do? Get some today: it's free, it's fast, and it's HOT HOT HOT!

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

I always liked Madrox. He was one of my favorite sidebar X-Men.

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Technically, you had two answers, since it was two separate comments. I guess we can let it go.

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Fwoosh is even better then foom. Foom is like a centralized bang, a spherical mass of destructive energry. But a fwoosh indicates that the fire is going somewhere. Energy AND direction equals a greater range of destructive power. All hail Fwoosh! Destroyer of kitchens!

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Woohoo spring break! We hope to see you on the next "Girls Gone Wild: Spring Break" video.

[i-calql8.livejournal.com]

I was thisssssss close to posting a pic of Multiman, of the Impossibles. But that would have made me both geeky and old. Really old. Which I am, but why emphasize it, right?

[i-calql8.livejournal.com]

I'll be the one with the bigger boobs than the wimmins.

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Moobs: They're not just for Fight Club anymore.

[chezmax]

(I just feel that having Dee Snider, Frank Zappa, and John Denver sitting together has to violate some kind of Law of Musical Thermodynamics. -CV)

I demand a joke that starts off with "Dee Snider, Frank Zappa, and John Denver walk into a bar..."

[la-trombonista.livejournal.com]

Four quotes! Hooray!

[germankitty]

Aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!!!

*whaps you with dead fish and limp noodles*

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

OH THE HUMANIDEE!

[wiredwizard.livejournal.com]

=pleh= 0 again...

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Meowzebub was not as convincing as expected. You sent him over here to purrsuade me, but all he did was beg for treats.

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

That is a great many quotes. A plethora of quotes, as it were. Mmmm, plethora.

[wiredwizard.livejournal.com]

Dude, I never sent Meowzebub the Demon Cat over to see you. She just claws things to death & eats their souls! That would be the worse negotiation ploy *ever...

[wrestlingdog.livejournal.com]

A+ for the reference to The Jackal!

[etumukutenyak.livejournal.com]

You're talking to a former fire fighter here...FWOOMPH is way cooler. Especially the propane kind.

[etumukutenyak.livejournal.com]

It had nothing to do with MY cooking style! It was the aging toaster oven...still, it was kinda cool. I mean, BAD TOASTER OVEN!

[etumukutenyak.livejournal.com]

..and the bartender says, "What is this, some kind of joke?"

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

It's a good thing he didn't choose a cougar as the ferocious animal of choice. It would have been embarassing to try to explain over and over that the villain was not, in fact, a middle-aged woman lusting after younger men.

[darthparadox.livejournal.com]

Holy crap, a +3! Three quotes is a pretty damn good week for me anyway, but the +3 has me dancing in my chair. (It's a good thing I'm working from home today!) WOOOO!

Fun bit of synchronicity - after I submitted, that evening I was playing Mass Effect 2 and got to the bit where Mordin sings his own parody of the same song. Which may itself be one of the greatest wacky moments in video game history.

[darthparadox.livejournal.com]

Thanks! When the idea popped into my head I just couldn't not do it. :D

[wrestlingdog.livejournal.com]

No, it's a West Wing thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7H_L5cYkg8

(Well, the song is older than West Wing, but I'm pretty sure that's what the quotee is referencing.

[vayshti.livejournal.com]

Joins you in the 4-club!

Like a shamrock!

[meloglas.livejournal.com]

Yey. One Quote! One is pleased with this result!

[bellapalmera.livejournal.com]

o... vary funny.

[bellapalmera.livejournal.com]

...and everyone else walks out.

[loopychew.livejournal.com]

Three! A new record! And I protest the idea that Dinklage should have stopped at DaaF US, since otherwise he wouldn't have been able to bring us his awesome Tyrion Lannister.

[akiyasan.livejournal.com]

It was a cheap shot, I know! But at least I didn't answer something on the lines of "your mom" for #5.

[primavera.livejournal.com]

If The Rock wrestled A Panda, it would fuck him up. Which I suppose could be considered not a bad thing at all.. go Panda!

[tinamachina.livejournal.com]

FOUR QUOTES! QUAD DAMAGE!

re Q#1: I once saw Danny Devito on the street in NYC. He really is tiny. -1 for me not shouting out "DANNY DEVITO, I LOVE YOUR WORK!"

[n5iln.livejournal.com]

Three...works for me. But "Twilight? Seriously, CV? That was straight from "Bride of Chucky!" If we're gonna do cheese, it WON'T be sparkly!

*walks off mumbling about armored turtles*

[alfvaen]

Wow. I wasn't expecting that... Okay, no pressure, no pressure...

[mandydax.livejournal.com]

(So are you doing the butt-grabbing, or are you the one being grabbed? Also, which of your parts have been "embellished"? -CV)

Well, we're identical twins, so either one, really. Embellished is that's a spray-on tan. ;)

[mandydax.livejournal.com]

CV gets +1 for trollin' like a boss. *smirk*
