Mmmmm...Gamecocks

Congratulations to Mmmmmmm...Gamecocks for their win on Wednesday. They scored a 10 in round 1, and a 10.5 in round 2 and hung on for the win. It was a fresh jackpot, but it wasn't won so the odds get better and rolls on to next week.

Clown Practice didn't win round 2, featuring the topics they picked a few weeks back, but they did win round 4, and so here are their topics for next week's round 2. Study up, and we'll see you on the 10th.

1. Dialysis
2. C.S. Lewis
3. Scott Pilgrim vs the the World (movie)
4. English Premiership Soccer Stadia
5. Iron Maiden (band)
6. Dungeons & Dragons Online
7. The BElgariad
8. Avatar the Last Airbender (tv cartoon)
9. Reptiles
10. Fight Club (movie)
11. Yo Gabba Gabba
12. The Simpsons
13. Battlestar Galactica (all versions)
14. Norse Mythology

Thanks and here we go again

One more time, thanks to Finding Strangers In The Alps for guest hosting. I hope they don't mind if at some point in the future we re-use their movie dialogue gimmick because that was fun.

And looking forward at the next week, here are the topics brought to you by round four winners from July 20th, Clown Practice:

1. English Premiership Soccer
2. The Sookie Stackhouse novels
3. Berries
4. Diabetes
5. Child Support Federal Performance Measures
6. Dialysis
7. Drop Dead Fred (film)
8. Organic Chemistry
9. Pulp Fiction (film)
10. The Belgariad
11. Social Penetration Theory
12. XKCD (web comic)
13. Firefly (TV Show)
14. Radiohead

Definitely some obscure and unique topics mixed in there. Have fun studying and we'll see you on Wednesday, same place, same time, with your regular hosts (well, except for Carrie who'll be out of town for work).

Here's the deal

All right, here's the deal. Finding Strangers In The Alps will be
hosting and they want you to know that music won't be in play this
week. Instead, they'll play audio clips of film dialogue and you'll
have to name the actor(s)* involved, the film, and your guess at the
length of the film.

*Not sure if it's actor or character but we'll get you some
clarification at some point.

So, if you heard this bit of dialogue:

"Describe what Marsellus Wallace looks like!"
"What?"
"Say 'what' again. Say 'what' again, I dare you, I double dare you
motherfucker, say what one more Goddamn time!"

Your answer would be Jules and Brett (or Samuel L. Jackson and Frank
Whaley depending on the clarification we get), Pulp Fiction, and if
you're really good 154 minutes.
