Well, welcome back. So, let's run by our players again- We've got Monique *crowd cheers* Melanie *more cheers* Josh Slone *crowd sounds confused* Athena *crowd is getting tired of cheering* and Bathroom Kathleen! *crowd leaves, never to be seen again*
Let's look at the answers:
My first name: Gimmie points. All of you get the full 2 points, even Bathroom Kathleen. (5 WAY TIE)
Take a stab at my middle name: K-po, Athena and Josh all come out ahead, while Mel gets no points for Brentington (come on Mel, we both know you can do better) and Monique "Surrender Monkey" gets -1 points for racial profiling. (K,A,J - 7 points, Mel - 2 Points, Mon - 1 Point)
Who is my current celeb-crush: In the celeb crush catagory, the answers go all over the freaking place. No points for both Monique's Reese Witherspoon and Athena's Summer Glau (although the Firefly reference is appreciated), 2 points for Josh's Jon Stewart (He's mother fucking Jon Stewart) and Mel's Jessica Alba (She's hot, I won't deny it) while Kathleen manages to pull out a suprise 3 points with Jenna Melone, who, while not a member of my celeb cruch list (currently populated by Anna Paquin, Natalie Portman (when she's not doing commentary on Garden State) and Ziyi Zhang), she damn well should be. (K - 10, J - 9, A - 7, Mel - 4, Mon - 1 Point)
Where do I live: Getting close to neighborhood will count as a win in this catagory, and so Kathleen, Monique and Athena get 2 points. Mel gets a pity point, while Josh, being graded on a curve as an internet friend also pulls in a single point for his answer. (K-11, J-10, A-9, Mel-5, Mon-3)
Coming out of the easy fact rounds we've got a tight race in the top three while our two M names are lagging behind. Can Monique make a break out of last place? There's still plenty of game left, so let's find out!
What am I afraid of: Seeing as how nobody correctly guessed "failure", it looks like it's time to dole out arbirary points. Kathleen gets 2 points for an answer that I had to read 2 times to understand, while Josh gets no points for attempting to scare me for living in my country. Bad Josh, no cookie. Or, in this case... points. Mel nets herself two points for suggesting that I be afraid of lobsters, which come of think of it, I just might be. I mean, I'd rather have my head dunked into a lobster tank then a take full of pirahnas, but both of them would really suck. Finally 1 stinking point for Monique and Athena, both of whom went with general fears (you know, unlike "failure") instead of fears that say something about ME. Jerks. (K-13, J,A-10, Mel-7, Mon-4)
Do I smoke: Since I do not smoke (and neither should you, K-Po) everybody gets points except Josh. Actually, nobody gets points, Josh just loses 1. It would have been two, but he put in a question mark and frankly, if you're willing to question your wrong answer, you've begun your path to the right one. Or something. (K-13, A-10, J-9 Mel-7, Mon-4)
Do I drink: I do drink, and in celebration of this, I get so drunk that I forget to give anybody points, or even recap the score.
How many siblings do I have: I have 2 siblings, which Kathleen and Athena got correct. Josh got if half correct, so he gets half of the three points while Mel gets a range of between .003 and 3 points to represent the range of her answer. The magic of random numbers gives her a score of 1.34, if it works as a proper fraction or not. Finally Monique gains 10 fantasy world points from the world in which I do have 1 brother, but those suffer in the exchange and she actually ends up with no points at all. That girl just can't get a break. (K-16, A-13, J-10.5 Mel-8.34, Mon-4)
Do I have children: Since Athena and Kathleen broke their vows of secracy, I'm taking my revenge by awarding them no points. Josh, Mel and Monique on the other hand know how to play along and they will be rewarded accordingly. No Athena, I don't mean sodomy for everbody. (K-16, A-13, J-12.5 Mel-10.34, Mon-6)
Do I get along with my parents: I do indeed get along with my folks. Athena and Kathleen seem to think I've got mom issues though, and I seem to think that they are quickly losing ground by not getting any points. Well, one point, but only because I don't want you to complain about it later. (K-17,J-14.5,A-14 Mel-12.34, Mon-8)
Wow, the competition keeps on heating up! Kathleen has the lead, but for how long? Will Josh and Athena still fight over second place or will one of them burst ahead. And what about Mel and Monique? Could a come back still be in the cards? Only time will tell!
What's one of my favorite things to do: Some apparently late reasearch here- Athena suggesting that I greatly enjoy collecting video games, a pass time that has been no longer activly pursued for some time and and Kathleen assuming that I play WoW, which is no longer the case. Half points awarded only. Monique went with an easy one, but gets full points for it, as does Mel. Josh on the other hand. Well, I can't really deny the truth in his answer. So, I'll give him 3 points, just to feed the machine. (K-19,J-17.5,Mel-16.34,A-16, Mon-12)
How many piercings do I have: Everyone correctly guessed 0 peircings, including Josh as long as 0 is indeed a prime number (I can't remember that far back in school). Although Kathleen, why the "I hope"? Are piercings no longer the cool thing to do? Or are you rebelling against your suicide girls already anti-establishment image. REBELLION IS CONFORMITY! THE NEW REBELLION IS GETTING A SMART HAIRCUT AND WORKING A 9-5 JOB! I don't even know. Explain and I'll give you points to be used in a future competition. As it stands, no points until Kathleen explains.
What's my favorite type of music: A trick question, since I have no out-and-out favorite. Therefore, Josh is the only one who gets full points. Athena and Kathleen with both get a couple for mentioning indy music, which is awesome, even though I'm no longer a college student honour bound to say so. Finally, Monique gets a single point for just Ska, while Mel will get a pity point for what I'll term "World Music". (K-21, J-20.5, A-18, Mel-17.34, Mon-13)
What's my favorite TV show: Heroes is indeed my favorite show, so Melanie gets full points, while Lost and Battlestar Galactica come close enough to earn 3.5 points for Kathleen and Athena. Monique gets a single point for the cultural reference, while Josh fails to impress with his Polka Show. I mean, I'm sure it's great and all, but I've never seen it. And now I cry. (K-24.5, A-21.5, Mel-21.34, J-20.5, Mon-14)
What's my favorite animal: Nobody correctly guessed the Wolf, but I'll give dogs (including those that are ruff on crime) full points. Sadly for Kathleen, "Cool Ones" makes me think of those breifly redesigned XTREME loony tunes characters,
which makes me mad, which earns you no points, while the tiger eats the Manatee, earning it a second point and leaving Athena empty handed. (K-24.5, Mel-24.34, J-23.5 A-21.5, Mon-16)
Name something I hate: You all named something I hated and I'm getting tired of this, so let's move along.
Name a talent I have: Everyone correctly named a talent, except Monique. Sadly, I really really suck at tying my shoe laces. I should probably learn how to do it well one of these days, but that day has yet to arrive. Still, Monique is way behind, so no change in the points. Let's keep it sporting!
What kind of shoes do I wear: I do indeed wear runners (although as of late I wear hiking shoes). No points for glass slippers (so last year) and sadly, my shoes are only nice until I've worn them a couple of times. No points Mel. (K-28.5, A-25.5, Mel-24.34, J-23.5, Mon-20)
As we head towards the home stretch, the race is still tight and even Monique looks like she has a shot at the gold. Stick with us now, we're almost there!
Do I have any pets: In a sad state of affairs, only Athena and Kathleen correctly answered that I indeed do have a dog and Kathleen managed to get both his name and the name of a dog we used to dog sit. Athena- Shame on you for getting the name wrong, minus one point. This leads me to belive that I should gush over my awesome dog more. I will.
Hamish rules! (K-32.5, A-28.5, Mel-24.34, J-23.5, Mon-20)
Who am I dating right now: Everyone gets full points here- Athena, Monique and Mel for knowing I'm single, Josh for his clever wit and K-Po for keeping the dream alive. So, no points for anyone.
What am I studying in school: Again, full points around. You guys are no fun anymore. Either that, or I'm running out of things to say.
What are my political views: Monique gets closest with Leftest, so a full 4 points to her. Kathleen gets 3 for keeping me left but moving be close to the centre, while I'll give Mel a point for good faith. The rest of you, no such luck. (K-35.5, A-28.5, Mel-25.34, Mon-24, J-23.5)
What's my religion: A lapsed presbyterian, Athean gets full points for her answer, while Kathleen gets 2. Josh also gets 2, because I want to be a Pastafarian. Sounds tasty. A single point for voodoo and monique just gave up. Come on! You just escaped last place! (K-37.5, A-31.5, Mel-26.34, J-25.5, Mon-24)
If I were stranded on a desert island, what would I bring: Last catagory. It all comes down to this (well actually Kathleen is already ahead by more then 5 points, but let's just see what happens.) Athena gets no points because I prefer to fuck my coconuts without the aid of lubrication. Josh gets 2 points because having Canada with me on an island would be great, whereas Kathleens suggestion, while good, is a little to big for my island, but since I'm allowing Canada as an answer will also get 2 points. Mel's suggestion of a clock radio, tin of salmon and mirror leaves me with enough raw material to McGuyver my way to the moon, but I'd probably just throw the radio into the sea when it wakes me early one morning, use the salmon as bait to unsuccessfully catch fish and keep the mirror as a sad reminder of my failing good looks, so only a single point. But Monique... I really like Monique's suggestion. I mean, as soon as the theatre chick discovers that I wasted all my wish energery on getting her plastered as opposed to finding us a rescue or a source of food (not to mention getting a blender with nowhere to plug it in) it's all over, but until then it's party time on the desert island. Whoo!
That makes the final talley:
Kathleen - 39.5
Athena - 31.5
Monique - 29
Josh - 27.5
Melanie - 27.34
Wow! Monique manages to nestle herself in the middle of the pack while Kathleen soars away to victory. Well, that's all the time we have for tonight, but thanks to all our guests for playing! And remeber!
HAMISH RULES! |
