Evening (morning) all. I'm a bit late. Had to shovel 10 inches of light flurries out of my driveway.

This quiz is a collaboration between scran and I, and will be scran's last but hopefully not his final quiz, but that's to be seen. Here's the message I had from the ol' gunslinger a couple of days ago for inclusion in tonight's effort.

That was from scran. This is from me. It has been a pleasure buddy.


Rules:

1...Questions posted on Monday, scran time. Answers whenever I feel like it.

2...2 points for each lyrics question, one for the song title and one for the artist. SOTW/AOTW and trivia questions are normally worth a point apiece, but some questions may ask for additional information, worth extra points.

3...The clue in the lyrics section may be any line or lines from the song or chorus.

4...The judge's decision is final. Yeah, right.

5...During the first 24 hours or until the first set of answers are posted, only one post, containing as many answers as you like will be accepted. Additional posts will be ignored and edited posts will be disqualified. After 24 hours or after the first set of answers have been posted, there are no restrictions on posts (free for all).

VnV2178B

Ah, thanks SSK - I recognised the words and could 'sing' the tune, mentally for the well-being of my office companions, could not remember the title though.

Can I add that the leader of the three blind mice in the operning scene of Dr. No was Ian Fleming's dentist, information I got from Tim Moxon who played 006, the first person shot in a Bond movie. He used to keep a restauant in Jamaica where daughter's ex-boyfriend cousin worked, now that's completely useless information isn't it?

VnV

An extra point for Pseudonymn 'cause it was her birthday last week.

Copterfan, are you getting any sleep yet?

Here's a site for anyone with small children, sponsored by the North American Air Defence Command (NORAD) that tracks Santa Claus
Track Santa Claus.
Check for the exact time on Christmas Eve, from whever you live.

It's too late this year, but if you have your kids address a letter to Santa Claus, North Pole, Canada, H0H 0H0, I'm sure you'll get a reply. It's a bunch of volunteers from Canada Post that run the place, and they say they reply to every letter they recieve. At the prices they charge to mail stuff, they can well afford it. There's also a site in Finland that does the same thing, but I forget the address.

Copterfan

Sleep Pigboat, what's that then?

But it's tougher on the trouble and strife!

Wish I could be on the PC all the awake time, then I'd murder the quiz (maybe... ), but she reckons I have to do all this 'looking after him' stuff...women eh....?

<<Checks she's not watching whilst typing>> Too late!

Cheers,

Copterfan.

Romeo Delta

Piggy, I have all of Foxyworthy's CDs (matter of fact, I have all the CDs by all the Blue Collar artists, and just saw Ron White in Vegas last week).

My fave is in the same bit as yours:

"There's always some lady in the mumu and sponge-rollers talking about how the tornado sounded. "It was pandelirium! I thought we'd be killt or even worse! I looked up to see the neighbor's house flying right over the top of our garage! All I could think was "Carolyn still has my casserole dish!"""

Richo77

Couple more Piggy and im done...
Didnt even look at the AOTW2 or much of the triv as i figured i has pretty much cleaned out oh oh seven so would leave some for others..

More Bond - Man i gottem mixed up yesterday... (must be my disperplexia)
2. Diamonds are Forever.
3. Thunderball.
5. Lulu
6. you only live twice.

The spy who loved me is still my fav tho. As a kid seeing the underwater Lotus was the coolest, plus someone bought me one (i was 7). Has the best bond girl (B Bach) although she fell in the ranks to Carole Bouquet and then Isabella Scorupco, the best song and the best opening sequence.

Although i must say im a huge fan of the Chris Cornell song - You know my name from the new Casino Royale.

Thanks for all your fine work this year too Piggy, a very merry Xmas to you and your loved ones and to all my fellow quizzers.

Richo

Some more correct answers folks, scores corrected accordingly.

Yeah RD, that Blue Collar stuff is a riot. Ron White getting thrown outta the bar in NYC, and Larry The Cable Guy eating his girl friend's edible undies on the way over to her house, man that's fine stuff. "Them strawberry ones ain't bad!"
