Both sims and I got the first question wrong and dropped the second, so we went up 24 places to the middle of the pack.

Two of our co-leaders fall back by one after submitting 4-pointers, while Magna stays in place with a 3-pointer. We have casketromance moving into the top 10 as well. Very interesting set of wrong answers on this one - four of you thought that G was Jane Jetson, when it was in fact "Mom" from Dexter's Laboratory.

I'll admit I thought it was Jane Jetson also. It was fandom vs. strategy as it pained me not to name the Brady kids and instead try to score better naming the Dunphy children. A point's a point.

My daughter was in a production of "The Sound of Music" earlier this month, so pure sentiment led me to plug those names into #4. On #3 I was sheep-shy to the point of absolute indecision and had to drop. If I start using a non-psychic octopus to help me choose--one that doesn't actually give me the answers, I hope that falls within official TD regulations.

There were 21 possible answers on this one, most of which could probably have been worked out by a majority of the population, so I didn't expect the sheep to be worth 9 here. Nonetheless, We have a lot of movement within the top 10 as woof falls out with a wrong answer and classicroadster puts in a sheep, leading to a bunch of people moving up the leaderboard there.

Re: TD 380 - Mother's Day - Q5-Q6 revealed

Post by SenseiCAY »

6. Letter and answer required. In the former Yugoslavia, a peculiar Mother’s Day tradition involved tying the mother up in bed until she gave the children gifts upon waking up. Answer one of the following about ties, things that are tied, and the like.
  1. One of “My Favorite Things” that fits the category (be thorough on this one).
  2. In what year (will accept within 1 year as correct; all “correct” answers will be graded together on this one) did the MLB All Star Game last end in a tie, leading to the announcement that the game’s result in the future would determine home field advantage in the World Series (a policy which has also since been abandoned)?
  3. In the game of chess, what is the term for a position where, on a player’s turn, that player is not in “check,” but has no legal moves? This situation results in a drawn (tied) game, and is more common among younger, inexperienced players because they do it by accident.
  4. The act of using twine to tie up the legs and wings of a turkey or chicken before roasting, said to promote even cooking, is commonly referred to as what?
  5. Speaking of having your limbs tied up, who wrote “Fifty Shades of Grey?”
  6. What liquor is normally used to make a Mai Tai?
  7. In Thai cuisine, what is the common English name for the dish known as “pad kee mao?” The origins of the name are debated, but theories include the use of rice wine in the preparation of this dish, and the possibility that someone devised this dish after a night of debauchery.
  8. In an ad campaign during the 2018 Super Bowl (played in February of 2018), what actor was shown in a series of parody commercials for, among other things, cars, beer, jewelry, and insurance, before it was revealed that it was, in fact, a Tide ad?
  9. What is the name for this knot?
    https://i.imgur.com/87XkYiQ.png
  10. Tai Chi is a martial art from what country?

9021amyers (I. Half-Windsor)
guessonguessonguess (I. four in hand)

A note on this one - I thought that wpwells had a pretty clever answer, but after further thought (and some consultation with outside impartial parties), I decided not to count it, for the same reason that I wouldn't have accepted "strings" or "brown paper packages" alone. I said to be thorough, and the "favorite thing" mentioned is "girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes," and the girl is an important part of that. My decision is flexible, and I am open to reconsideration and bribes.

Also, the necktie one was a bit obscure - I looked up the incorrect answers to make sure that they weren't the same as the correct answer.

Also, who ties a kitten's whiskers??

I'm too cheap for a bribe, but I liked the answer and I'm sure some blue satin sashes are indeed tied.

7. Letter and answer required. The founder of Mother’s Day (see 2A) lamented the fact that the holiday had become so commercialized. Of course, Hallmark is a well-known company with a crown in its logo. Select a letter and identify the brand (company, product, team, etc.) represented by the logo with a crown.

Not much movement in and out of the top 10, but a lot of folks still in contention. Kirbstar and Magna have a good grip on the top spots, however with the lead and the drop still in both their quivers.

8. Letter and answer required. If you can’t think of something more creative, you could give your mother a box of chocolates for Mother’s Day. If you’re a TD host and can’t think of anything more creative, you make up a question about chocolate. Answer one of the following about chocolate and candy.
  1. Hershey, home to the namesake chocolate company and its accompanying theme park, is located in what U.S. state?
  2. Since 1969, what Hershey’s product, which also comes in pumpkin, egg, and other shapes, has been the #1-selling candy brand in the United States?
  3. One individual rectangle in a standard Hershey’s bar is known as a “pip.” How many pips are in a standard, 1.55 oz Hershey’s bar?
  4. You might remember the Beanie Baby fad back in the 1990s. One of the nine original Beanie Babies was named Chocolate. What kind of animal was Chocolate?
  5. Chocolate sometimes comes in a heart-shaped box. I would be forever in debt to your priceless advice if you could tell me, what band sang the 1993 song “Heart-Shaped Box?”
  6. Sharing a name with a process used to treat steel, what process involving heating, cooling, and reheating chocolate reestablishes the cocoa butter crystals in it and gives it a sheen and prevents it from separating?
  7. Also making other consumer electronics and household appliances, what company is responsible for the VX8500 slider phone, also known as the “Chocolate?”
  8. What singer, who moves away from the mic to breathe, is responsible for the viral music video “Chocolate Rain?”
  9. The logo of what well-known chocolatier depicts a nude woman riding a horse?
  10. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the world’s tallest chocolate fountain is on display at the Jean Philippe Pâtisserie at what hotel (appropriately enough)?

Kirbstar gives a sheep to drop to third, Magna moves into the lead with the next answer down, and classicroadster puts in a singleton to move into a share for the lead. We have many still in contention with two questions to go though - 12 players are within 10 points of the lead, and quite a few have yet to use their drops!

Ha! Although I am in the bottom half of this TD, I did a double take when this answer was in the "wrong" category. :lol: You got me on that one.
As a child of the '80s and all that is good with "hair bands", I respectfully repeat my position on Nirvana. It swept in an entire generation of utterly depressing and poor music in my opinion.

I cannot believe I screwed up a question about chocolate after all the quality time we've spent together over the years.

Hey, if anyone ever plans to roadtrip through Springfield, MO, check out Best Western Rail Haven, an old motor court from the 30's located on Rt. 66. Our first visit happened to coincide with the annual classic car show downtown, and a lot of the participants were staying there. When we pulled into the parking lot and saw all the cars from bygone days, we thought we had entered the Twilight Zone.

I grew up in the 90s, even though I wasn't that into the music then - I like the hair bands and classic rock a lot more, myself. That said, I couldn't resist when I read your answer and immediately thought of 5 bands of my "era" that I disliked more than Nirvana.

In case you were wondering, they were Nickelback, Creed, Hoobastank, Fatboy Slim (seriously...how do you get a hit song out of just repeating "right about now, the funk soul brother, check it out now" like 50 times?), and Savage Garden.

I can't believe I'm expending the keystrokes to defend the reputation of Fred Durst, but... you're thinking of Fatboy Slim. :D
