EGADS!!!

Are Kewpie dolls the same thing as troll dolls? I had a mental image of the troll dolls & got all Raggedy with my answer, even thought the question said something about 1909 and the Raggedy dolls didn't come out until 1920 or so.

They're similar in physique and clothing coverage, but that's about it. Imagine Albert Einstein or Don King with a neon hair dye job, standing to give you a big, nekkid hug

Hennigan's Scotch was a running gag on SEINFELD. Not THE DREW CAREY SHOW.

The largest muscle in the human body is: Glutemus maximus

Only the second time I've missed it (don't even recall what I chose either time), but you would think since I sit on it for hours at a time playing trivia, this question would be a gimme.

In which state is Magazine Mountain located? This may not be the exact wording, but it's similar. I keep picking Massachusetts instead of Arkansas. I must have a mental block against Arkansas. :?

Don't encourage them.
Luckily, their pun usage is only periodical.

Bunches:

The Dragon Festival is in HONG KONG.

MONTEZUMA'S CASTLE is in ARIZONA.

Sir BLAH BLAH BLAH was an archeologist in EGYPT.

KENTUCKY was a state before the 1800s. Not Maine.

Yesterday was one of those days I should have just stayed home.

I don't remember the question, but I need to remember to answer Bone Thugs N Harmony if it's ever an option.

Woodrow Wilson made mother's day a national holiday....sorry Teddy.

The city within the continental 48 farthest north is in Minnesota, damn Michigan (and sometimes Maine) on the brain.. :roll:


Gene Hackman appeared in movie (1981) Reds...Bruce Dern somewhere else at the time...

Isaac Parker is a ?. I keep getting Isaac Parker mixed up with Quantah Parker who was an Indian chief. The comment after the answer was given said Parker was known as the "Hanging Judge". I always thought Roy Bean was the "Hanging Judge".

Moraviantown (also known as the battle of the Thames) was a ? battle. I immediately shouted out "Revolutionary War" again and didn't even look for the War of 1812. JOHNNY and I were ridiculed for getting that wrong by a player who would be lucky to average 6,000 if he was playing by himself.

John Steinbeck wrote the novella for Hitchcock's 'Lifeboat' - not Agatha Christie :cry:

P.S. Big thread bump :shock:

I’ve missed that stupid “tuxedo” question twice. (To be clear(er), “tuxedo” is the wrong answer.)

And then recently I missed the question in Learned League where the answer WAS “tuxedo.”

Then I gave up and read about the history of tuxedoes.
