Stravinksi!? Offenbach?? Who actually listens to them for fun? (My wife listens to this on radio, I had no idea.)
Did you ever see Jeremy Paxman when he had to do the weather on Newsnight?
Oh my word, wouldnât my rear be handed to me? Even though my pub trivia team, the So Called Quizlamic State always hit first or second?
While the show does make me feel dumb sometimes then they ask something about American culture and the wife and I are like umm duh, how did they not know that?
Itâs a copy of an American programme, is that still on?
As far as getting your rear handed to you, isnât that why you should aim for a broad range of subjects (and as many grad students as theyâll let you have?)
Questions like, âwhat flower bloomed for a monarch in England in 1347 while his brother was dealing with tuberculosisâ will be nailed by my wife, but why couldnât I remember Stravinski!?
What other post modern popular Russian composer was there? (When one of the contestants mentioned Tchaikovsky I wanted to punch the screen)
Isnât it sad that shows like that just donât last on American TV?
Oh, ha, ha, ha, OtherMichael, arenât you such a cut-up?
Say, isnât this bleeding across threads?
But isnât that how this sorta started?
Um, I suppose so? Perhaps I should leave the questions to the experts?
Isnât this a universal now on the BBS? Shouldnât it be? When will @Falcor start issuing donalds for off-topic remarks in threads, I wonder?
Only an expert can handle the problem?
But does that stop us from trying?
Did it stop Laurie anderson?
Isnât she an amazing woman? Didnât I show up early for work years and years ago so I could take a long lunch to get âStories From The Nerve Bibleâ signed? Then went to see her show that same evening?
Might you perhaps enjoy this?
Can we start a petition to get falcor to hand out Donalds for breaking the rules? Change.org perhaps?
Wouldnât he be more likely just to eat us for insolence if we tried that?
