Since everyone seems to like Falcorum and Palisade, should I start a poll to decide between the two...?

I was just spring cleaning my "My Documents" folder. and Gweerp-ing, and flail-ing in my lack of popular culture knowledge.

Really? Hmm... *decides to test them* Hey, Wolf, Zari(and nobody else)...
1. In Back to The Future, what song does Marty play at the dance when he goes back in time? (Easy)
2. This James Bond actor was also in a Tom Clancy movie about submarines. Give me the actor and the movie title. (Medium)
3. In Jurassic Park III, Mr. Kirby owns a store called "Kirby Paint & Tile Plus", and at one point he explains, "The 'Plus' stands for______ ______." Fill in the blanks. (Medium)
4. This movie's many quotable lines include "Have fun storming the castle!", "You killed my father, prepare to die." and, "To the pain." (Easy)
5. The first PG-13 movie was this, because while violent, it was too family-friendly to be rated R. (Hard)
Ahem, anyways, yeah, I'm a little busy too, but mostly I'm just kinda lazy.
I wish the Merc roleplay would pick up a little. *gently pokes Mercenaries with octo-axe* And this one too. *pokes Knights*

I can't answer any of them. D: I can't even get past 6 out of 10 in a NZ current event quiz. (even if three of the questions were about sport, which you can't really expect me to have any idea about)
Oh. I know 4. The Princess Bride, I think. Because I've read the book.
Inactivity is not shiny. *polishes the roleplay with some silver-cleaner, with no discernible result* D:

1. No idea. Haven't seen that movie in ages. (*ack* I feel OLD!!!!) 2. Not sure the actor, but I'm sure the movie is The Hunt for Red October. *shrug* Never seen it. 3. Saw that movie, too, but can't even remember who Mr. Kirby is. -_- 4. Hah! Easy as cheese. The Princess Bride. Never seen it, either, but my friends have.  5. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire? Oh, cheese. I phail. DX ...I seem to do better on Facebook's endless movie quiz thingy, though...so maybe there's hope for me left! Heh. *shrug* I much prefer unpopular culture, like the NT and Neopets. (^_^)/ |

Easy Questions require only passing knowledge of the movie Medium Questions require active knowledge of the movie Hard Questions require studious knowledge of the movie You both got 1 easy question correct. Wolf also got half of a medium question correct. You both score average. You know a little, but don't stake your life on a game of Trivial Pursuit.  Correct Answers: 1. Johnny B. Goode 2. The Hunt For Red October, Sean Connery 3. Bathroom Fixtures 4. The Princess Bride (In retrospect, there are some harder quotes I could have used) 5. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.(Quoth Wikipedia: "Some fairly gruesome scenes in Temple of Doom, as well as, to a lesser extent, other PG-rated films of the time such as Gremlins caused a significant public outcry. Spielberg spoke to the MPAA about creating a new rating that would cover the middle ground between a clear PG and a clear R that his films often found themselves on. This led to the creation of a new rating category: PG-13.") |

That's pretty cool about the rating thing, but sometimes, I think some of today's PG-13 movies are better suited to R. Maybe I'm a bit of a traditionalist in this manner, but I think our ratings system has become too lax of late and needs to be either updated or given a new council that respects the values of the content they are rating. Further, the rating system should be universal for video games and, where necessary, music as well. In this respect, a universal system would more accurately--and more fairly--represent each medium and better inform the public about just what they are getting themselves into when making a purchase.
*steps off soapbox*

Something wicked this way went.
I blame the spacetime continuum.
Wait, did medieval knights even know that existed?

Is this your way of saying the Knights are making a comeback? *Is suddenly struck by the image of the scene in A Knight's Tale where the knights have returned to England and "The Boys Are Back in Town" is playing in the background (Rest in peace, Heath Ledger)* |

*drops out of the rafters and stuffs the explosive shampoo behind a beam* You called, your highness? I was just, er, wondering what had happened to here. *prods guild* Since our GW activity is neligible due, perhaps, to the fact that everyone is dead or working for another guild, or engaged in a long awkward silence in Zari's case.

It might be, but alas, I am only A knight, and not THE knightS.... -_- And I've never heard of that movie...or maybe I have and just forgotted...so I'll add it to my list of must-see movies by Heath Ledger! Lesse, it's right after Brokeback Mountain, but before The Dark Knight... *drops out of the rafters and stuffs the explosive shampoo behind a beam* You called, your highness?
