Another quiz

31. 2 w on a b
2 wings on a bird

[JeffH]

Well, some fast and furious action last night. We obviously have a few competitive personalities here.

Official answers are;

Scores are;
1. Unicorn 13½
2. Fulvio 10½
3. duggee27 6
= Pedro and keldaw

That presents a dilemma -a tie for the wooden spoon!
Judges decision is that the booby prize goes to robbiegal (she asked nicely). Opinion is that neither Pedro or keldaw will be too upset not to get the medallion.

Congratulations to the winners and commiserations to those who weren't quick enough off the mark.

Some quotes for you to ponder;
-"The most important thing in the contest is not winning but taking part"
-"Winning isn't everything; it's the only thing"
-Whoever said, 'It's not whether you win or lose that counts', probably lost."
-"Win or lose, do it fairly."
-I can't say, 'It doesn't matter if you win or lose.' It's not true. You go in to win."
-It's not whether you win or lose, it's how many people remember you when you die."
-"He who dies with the most toys, wins."
-"He Who Dies With The Most Toys... Still Dies!"

And it seems a shame to waste this stand-by clue. From 'Celebrate Australia' the concert, January 26, 2009

Cheers,

Hi Jeff - yes, I'm shattered :yahoo: that I won't have a Ninja Turtle medallion - will just have to go and play with my son's old ones!

Pedro

[keldaw]

why o why , couldn,t  me and pedro have half each , we could have sent it over to trouts place to be cut in half ,
 or maybe A J would have done it for us ,he has a scroll saw you know ..

 jeff thank you for the quiz , most enjoyable   ,, kel ,,

[JeffH]

I have cold chisels and a big hammer. That should do the job!
Or, maybe, the angle grinder. The oxy cutter would work too.
Kel,
I consulted  1 Kings 3:16-28 for a script to play this by but your suggestion has reversed the scenario. And Solomon is not contactable to ask for advice -his email account no longer exists and he seems to have forsaken FaceBook!
What a dilemma.

[robbiegal]

awww Jeff
I am happy for the real wooden spooners to get the 50% shares in the ninja turtles medallion

but if they really don't want it

then yes yes yes please
i'd so totally love a ninja turtle medallion :heart:

my boys grew up on ninja turtles
we all know all the words to their movies
we still use a ninja turtles pillow case!!!

[Pedro]

Be "our" guest Robbiegal, it's all yours - probably talking out of turn here since Kel wanted to cut it in two!

Pedro

[robbiegal]

cheers
i'll take a photo and Kel can print it off and cut out the pic and glue it onto cardboard - that way he'd have a whole medallion
gosh - i'd reckon he could even sell it on e-bay!!

[keldaw]

Be "our" guest Robbiegal, it's all yours - probably talking out of turn here since Kel wanted to cut it in two!

Pedro

 it,s ok Robbie , you can have it with our blessings ,.. ,, kel ,,
we dont want to be like the 2 ladies arguing over who owns the baby
 and then went to court and the judge could not find out who was the real mother so he ordered the baby be cut in half and give each women half each , then the real mum said no , give it to her rather then see the baby hurt . surely some of you know that story from the old days .. ,, kel ,,

[JeffH]

Kel,
Great minds think alike. See my reference to 1 Kings 3:16-28. This is a biblical version of the story of Solomon, and the two ladies claiming the same baby.
This tale also appears elsewhere in ancient writings. The Brilliant Wisdom of King Solomon.

That's so cool.

Only slightly off-topic... does anyone watch Comic Book Men?

I just got started on Series 3 (I hate being nailed down to weekly schedules, so tend to gather a batch of stuff and watch them back to back). Ep 1, Lou Ferigno walks into the store and says "I'm here to be your personal trainer.. lets go kick you into shape". Ep 2, a guy walks in to buy a Batman figure, and ends up cutting a deal to get it cheaper and show them his personal Bat Cave under his house in Delaware. Has to be seen to be believed.. its complete with the flip-top bust and the button which opens a secret door, the walls look like rock, there is a cinema with a 120" screen and electric recliners all round... and more memorabilia (including a full-size Batman suit) than they have in the store! Pretty cool man-cave. :yahoo:

The turtle coin was found in a 20¢ bulk bag.

[robbiegal]

well thank-you for finding it Jeff and I had fun not being able to answer ANY of those quiz questions- I felt really dumb - I should have referred to the cowabunga dictionary for help!! ha ha

gotta love shredders' mini skirt - they are back in fashion again!!

my hubby has some pokemon coins - but no ninja turltes so I am feeling pretty flash in the house at the moment!!  it is/was a ninja turtles and Pokémon household - boys are both adults now tho

[Fulvio]
