C) Jazz music
D) Your hand to stroke them in intimate places

[Sydneyfan]

:lol This thread will get at least 150 posts.

[Sydneyfan]

And I say (a) sunflower seeds.

[blueone]

This is going to be epicly drawn out because I'm going away for 3 days on Sunday.

[Quincy]

I'll say Jazz(C)

[maleneee]

I'll go with A

[foggy]

A

[Starlite]

I'll say A and hope it's not D.

[la twinkle]

I'll be the first to opt for it! D.

[ferris wheel junkie]

ewwww gerbils

D

[Faded Rose]

A - for awesome and for the answer - you really are going for gerbils and ninjas!

[blueone]

Next question in a couple of hours, so get those final votes flooding in now!

Sydneyfan - 1
Quincy - 0
Maleneee - 1
Foggy - 1

******Question 2******

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was renamed for the UK release. What was it?

A) Teenage Mutant Fighting Turtles
B) Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles
C) Teenage Mutant Friendly Turtles
D) It wasn't renamed

[Sydneyfan]

I'll say D. I doubt they would change a highly successful trade mark name.

[Quincy]

It was B

[Sydneyfan]

It was B

Are the British scared of ninjas?

[Sydneyfan]

[blueone]

Are the British scared of ninjas?

He could be lying, you know. You more than anyone knows how useless he is. ;)

[ferris wheel junkie]

b

[Starlite]

D. TMNT!

[Quincy]

Are the British scared of ninjas?

They were in the late 80s. The 90s were a tough transitional period for British ninjas but they became more and more accepted until they are at the level of respect they are given now in 2007.

[maleneee]

D.

[Faded Rose]

Ninjas command respect? Real ninjas maybe but turtles? Aren't these the guys that ate pizza and had names like Leonardo?

I think D. I'm sure it was the same name in the UK.

[Quincy]

Donatello (purple, big stick), Michaelangelo (orange, nunchucks), Raphael (red, little dagger sword things) and Leonardo(blue, ninja sword)

[Faded Rose]

Oh wow - an expert...I'd forgotten. I think we had models in our house at one stage. And they did eat pizza right? Do you have a favourite Q?

[Quincy]

of course, Leonardo. I got mugs and bowls and stuff of ninja stuff, I used to have a costume. I got an action figure last christmas...I'm 20?

[blueone]

I used to dream of being a Ninja Turtle.

Coincidentally, I'm hungry for pizza and the quiz will continue because there's internet connection in the hotel room. Hurrah!

[foggy]

Since Q is an expert, I'll say B.

[Quincy]

Since Q is an expert, I'll say B.

:lol, your funeral

[Faded Rose]

Q did you really have a ninja suit? I can see it now - complete with mask?

[Quincy]

not a ninja suit, a ninja turtle costume.

[Faded Rose]

Oh sorry!!!

[blueone]

New question in a couple of hours. Gerbil one this time.

[Quincy]

can't wait

[blueone]

If that's sarcasm then my avatar is hunting for you RIGHT NOW.

[blueone]

Ok, so Quincy was right being the TMHT fanboy he is - Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles was the name of the UK release because it was thought that British children would not be able to control themselves when the word "ninja" was uttered.

Scores are:

Sydneyfan - 1
Quincy - 1
Maleneee - 1
Foggy - 2
Starlite - 1
la twinkle - 0
ferris wheel junkie - 1
Faded Rose - 1

[Quincy]

Good, otherwise I would be worrying about the authenticity of my mug.

[blueone]

******Question 3******

According to www.exoticpets.about.com you should never pick a gerbil up by the... ?

A) Ear
B) Tongue
C) Tail
D) Intimate parts

I guess they're all inappropiate ways of picking up a gerbil but there is a specific answer.

[Quincy]

and the fact that I have in my mind the theme song going "Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles"

[Quincy]

A

[blueone]

and the fact that I have in my mind the theme song going "Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles"

I always mix it up with the Power Rangers theme. Same number of syllables you see. :o

[maleneee]

I'll say C.

[Sydneyfan]

Do gerbils even have tails? I'll say C anyhow.

[Quincy]

I always mix it up with the Power Rangers theme. Same number of syllables you see. :o

mighy morphin' power rangers, is that it? i never really got into that.

[blueone]

Ah, I was into both. Transformers too. Why are kids cartoons never as good anymore? :(

[Quincy]

There are some decent ones around. Recess, Weekenders, Filmore (all cancelled now though). Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends is one I watch a lot at the moment.

[blueone]

Oh, I liked Filmore. Nice idea, that. And I think I must have watched every episode of Recess. Never heard of that Imaginary Friends one...

[Quincy]

I love that the cartoon channels are on all night.

[blueone]

:lol I only get to see them in the morning when I'm having breakfast.

[Quincy]

I get to watch them when I stumble back in, and having dinner.

[Faded Rose]

C - for the gerbil question.

[trappss1]

I say C

[foggy]

I'll go with C too.

[blueone]

Easy peasy Ninja question in a while to get everyones hopes up. :upyours

[Faded Rose]

My hopes couldn't get any higher without assistance.

[blueone]

If you checked out my Ninja link from a while back you should be safe. :)

[ferris wheel junkie]

tail.

[Starlite]

I'll say B.

[blueone]

Ok, the answer was... C, which most of you got. NEVER pick a gerbil up by the tail.

[blueone]

Nice one, Rosie. :)

[trappss1]

B

[maleneee]

B

[blueone]

You guys are going to get two days on this because my internet connection runs out in 15 minutes and I can't be bothered to top it up (checking out tomorrow).

[Quincy]

[blueone]

I have style, don't I?

[Quincy]

very much so

[Quincy]

whoops. wrong thread

[Sydneyfan]

B because everyone else said B.

[foggy]

No idea. I'll say A.

[blueone]

Ok, so I'm resurrecting this for the final ninja gerbil question. :)

******Question 5******

This is a Ninja Gerbil:

http://blog.magix.net/uploads/Image/author_piet/ninja_hamster.jpg

The weapon he is holding is properly called:

A) Nunchaku
B) Nunchucks
C) Ninja sticks
D) Not a ninja weapon

Ninja gerbil questions are hard.

[Starlite]

Ninja gerbils are seriously cute.

I'm going with A.

[Quincy]

A, although I would love for them to be called Ninja Sticks.

[maleneee]

A?

[ferris wheel junkie]

A

[Faded Rose]

Try A.

The ninja gerbil is such a cutie - is he yours? Does he have a name?

I am seriously impressed that you came with a question with ninjas and gerbils - this will be a hard quiz to follow

[blueone]

He's not mine I'm afraid. :( Sorry Rosie!

[Faded Rose]

:\ Couldn't we adopt him as the TBY mascot?

[blueone]

We can. :upyours

[Faded Rose]

Let's hope Syd agrees.

[ferris wheel junkie]

what happens when there is a tie? (sorry, i haven't paid attention much to the other trivia ones... gerbils and ninjas was too good to resist though)

[blueone]

In case of a tie then there will be a totally friggin' awesome TIEBREAKER question. :rock

[ferris wheel junkie]

awesome.

looks like we'll have a tie to break soon then...

[blueone]

That mofo of a tie is going down. :guitarsolo

[Quincy]

:( looks like TBY is safe from another one of my quizzes

[blueone]

:lol

You phailed on the gerbil questions, I think. Your Ninja knowledge is impressive though.

[Quincy]

I still wouldn't pick a gerbil up by its ears.

[ferris wheel junkie]

:( looks like TBY is safe from another one of my quizzes

it's not safe from one one by me though.... :box ... yet...

ooooh, what could tby be in for?

i probs won't win anyway though.

[blueone]

What about by the intimate parts?

[blueone]

This will be open for another 12 hours so all those nightbirds can get their valued vote in!

[Quincy]

What about by the intimate parts?

Those either....it was a flawed question.

[blueone]

To each his own.

[Sydneyfan]

Why can't I see the ninja gerbil?

And I have no idea so I'll say A.

[foggy]

A

[blueone]

Why can't I see the ninja gerbil?

And I have no idea so I'll say A.

Becuase you smell? Australia? Need glasses? Or because you're just plain strange?

[foggy]

Becuase you smell? Australia? Need glasses? Or because you're just plain strange?

All of the above, but leans most towards the last choice. :pimp

[Starlite]

Australia?

All of the above, but leans most towards the last choice. :pimp

Incorrect! The answer is all of the above, except Australia.

[Sydneyfan]

Pfft. I can see him now.

[Faded Rose]

Pfft. I can see him now.

So can we have him as the official TBY mascot - alternatively anyone have a picture of Ryan as a Ninja? That would be even better - better even than Little Red Riding Hood.

[Sydneyfan]

If you like. He can carry our flag during board wars.

[blueone]

Well, bollocks. Seems everyone got that one right. Probably didn't help that Nunchaku was the only word that sounded authentic. :boohoo

Sydneyfan - 4
Quincy - 3
Maleneee - 4
Foggy - 4
Starlite - 2
la twinkle - 0
ferris wheel junkie - 4
Faded Rose - 4
trappss1 - 2

This is going to be the biggest tiebreaker in the history of TBY quizzes :lol

Sydneyfan, Malenee, Foggy, Ferris Wheel Junkie and Faded Rose, start your engines!

******Biggest Tiebreaker Question Ever 1******

Geriatric Gangrene Jujitsu Gerbils

The gerbil on the right is holding nunchaku and the one in the centre is holding a stick, so is the one on the far left.

These gerbils are fairly useless at attacking first because...

A) They're fat
B) They practice Jujitsu
C) One of their members is dead
D) They lack intimate parts

Good luck. :P

[blueone]

So there's no confusion this question is for Sydneyfan, Malenee, Foggy, Ferris Wheel Junkie and Faded Rose only. :)

[maleneee]

Ummm....C?

[Faded Rose]

Jeez - B

I want to say because they're girls but that option wasn't available.

[ferris wheel junkie]

B

[foggy]

I'll say B.

[Sydneyfan]

Those are fat gerbils. A.

[blueone]

Eveyone's answered and the correct answer is B. Jujitsu is the art of counter-attacking!

Faded Rose, Ferris Wheel Junkie and Foggy go through to the next round (which will be tomorrow morning because it takes a lot of time to come up with questions this awesome)!

[Sydneyfan]

Well, damn. :downyours

[blueone]

Even Quincy would have got that.

[Quincy]

Even Quincy would have got that.

but what about Zeke?

[blueone]

Fuck Zeke!

[ferris wheel junkie]

A

[blueone]

haha, that is such a cop-out.

You try making a quiz based around GERBILS! :boohoo

[Quincy]

I thought it was Gerbils AND Ninjas, I thought the questions could be mutually exclusive, surely you could have concentrated on ninjas.

[blueone]

If there's another tiebreaker then it'll be exclusively about Ninjas. Just for you.

[Quincy]

Aww, thanks blue.

[Faded Rose]

A.

I don't want this quiz to end it's been such fun.

[foggy]

A.

[foggy]

C!

[blueone]

:lol You guys are impossible! ;)

Round.... 9 is on the horizon (and it's gonna be hard)!

[Starlite]

Maybe you need to get the contestants to PM you their answer. That way they won't know what the others answered ;).

[blueone]

Sublime idea, Jess! That shall be the method of answering round 9. :)

[Faded Rose]

Is there a suggestion of cheating? Someone wants the poisoned chalice that much?
Will this be finished before I go on holiday - oh well never mind - I'm taking my PC.
I never realised I knew so much about ninjas and gerbils.

[blueone]

:lol No suggestions of cheating, that's for sure.

[Sydneyfan]

Just posting so that my 150 post prediction for this thread will come true.

[Quincy]

If I delete all my posts will it delete them from the post count?

[Sydneyfan]

If I delete all my posts will it delete them from the post count?

No. No it won't. :upyours :upyours :upyours

[blueone]

Does anyone mind if I take a detour from Ninjas and Gerbils? I think their wells are dry... and I will update the thread title suitably!

[foggy]

[Faded Rose]

If the next tie-breaker question goes down any time soon - I'm away until Friday evening so may I have extra time to answer. I would hate to miss my chance to bite the bitter pill of destiny.

[blueone]

I'll do it now. Just post answers in this thread, don't bother with the PMs. :)

Ferris Wheel Junkie, I crown thee the Trivia Champion! Congratulations. :D

[Quincy]

Congrats ferris
