Monster individual score out of Houston last night. Nice work.
What question had the temerity to steal those oh so precious six points?
BTW, it's too bad the phone cheats from Rochester Hills took your top bar spot. You'll always be number one last night to me.
The good news is that we were perfect on science fiction questions.
Sadly, we missed points out the ass on fantasy stuff: the Twilight Zone question about Room/Flight 22 and the one about McCaffrey's Dragon crap.
I have a bit of a gripe about the "Which of these movies did not feature nuclear devastation?"
Got
Red Dawn after some initial hesitation caused by being required to read all of the other options to confirm that it was the most likely or "best" option. Multiple nukes were used in
Red Dawn.
If you don't believe me, fine, but doubting the word of the great Powers Boothe? Preposterous!
Quotes supplied by IMDB:
Col. Andy Tanner (Powers Boothe) : [Describing the invasion] West Coast. East Coast. Down here is Mexico. First wave of the attack came in disguised as commercial charter flights same way they did in Afghanistan in '80. Only they were crack Airborne outfits. Now they took these passes in the Rockies.
Jed Eckert (Patrick Swayze) : So that's what hit Calumet.
Col. Andy Tanner: I guess so. They coordinated with selective nuke strikes and the missiles were a helluva lot more accurate than we thought. They took out the silos here in the Dakotas, key points of communication.
Darryl Bates (Darren Dalton) : Like what?
Col. Andy Tanner: Oh, like Omaha, Washington, Kansas City.
Darryl Bates: Gone?
Col. Andy Tanner: Yeah. That's right. Infiltrators came up illegal from Mexico. Cubans mostly. They managed to infiltrate SAC bases in the Midwest, several down in Texas and wreaked a helluva lot of havoc, I'm here to tell you. They opened up the door down here, and the whole Cuban & Nicaraguan armies come walking right through, rolled right up here through the Great Plains.
Maybe it's me, but those three cities alone, not to mention all the ones left unmentioned, would count as "nuclear devastation". OK, fine, Washington getting nuked probably wouldn't be "devastating", but the point still stands.
