Okay, start with an answer, then ask the question, Jeopardy style. Example, Answer: a naughty little rhyme or a place in Ireland.
next person Question: What is a Limerick?
Then that person leaves an answer for the next person.
Nothing naughty, scandalous, full of innuendo, or otherwise offensive.

The Question doesn't have to be the exact one the previous person was thinking of, as long as it makes sense. For example: Rolaids. The anticipated Question might be : What is an antacid?, but if the next person said, "How do you spell relief?" that would work too. . .


Okay, I'll start.

Answer: Quasi Moto's home town
Hyperfried

Actually actually, it is "What is Paris?" The answer gave a description of the place, not its location.

Nope, not right, Kelley. You might have to think about where you are to give the correct question for my last answer.

I can't get Rinna's question without Googling though.

Kelleypen
Well, according to this, it was neither Dan Radcliffe nor Harrison Ford. According to IMDB, the top 15 grossing movies are 1. Titanic, 2. Star Wars 3. ET 4. Star Wars ep.1 5. Spiderman 6. Lord of th eRings Return of King 7. Jurassic park 8. Lord of the Rings Two Towers 9. Finding Nemo 10. Forrest Gump 11. Lion King 12. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone 13. Lord of the Rings Fellowship Ring 14. Star Wars episode 2 15. Star Wars episode 3

Harry Potter, Forrest Gump, Nemo, and Spiderman are the only title characters in the bunch. And none have three.

Back to Rinna's answer:

I don't know where you found you list (was it U.S. only?) but it's not jiving with what I found on IMDB. My answer was based on this list, and obviously, Who is Daniel Radcliffe? was the intended question.

So back to Rinna's answer.

Well yes that is a correct question, but I was thinking more along the lines of.

Kamalia
Who is AdiVega?
Katieay
Kamalia, you need to also post your answer smile.gif
Daily Prophet Reporting
Let's take this back to Rinna's answer, because I know Jedi's question is not the correct one (though only because I googled it, also thinking slinky).

So:

QUOTE(RinnaMarie @ Oct 6 2005, 11:19 PM)

-KC
Kelleypen
From the Slinky web site: The History of the SLINKY
“What walks down stairs, alone or in pairs, And makes a slinkity sound?"
"A spring, a spring, a marvelous thing, Everyone knows it’s Slinky…”
"It's Slinky, it's Slinky, for fun it's a wonderful toy"
"It's Slinky, it's Slinky, it's fun for a girl and a boy"

close enough.

Reminder that this thread is not about getting the answer the author wants--If the question works, it's fine.
Daily Prophet Reporting
Kelley, there is an objective right answer for Rinna's question. Slinky would definitely not have been accepted question for this on Jeopardy!

From "The Log Song", on Ren & Stimpy:
QUOTE
"What rolls down stairs alone or in pairs
    Rolls over your neighbor's dog?
    What's great for a snack and fits on your back?
    It's Log, Log, Log!


So the answer should be Log. Back to:

I'm guessing you mean Agi VEGA.
(Geeky astronomy bit follows...The star, Vega, is one of the brightest in the sky, only 25 light-years away, in the constellation Lyra. It is three times larger than our Sun and, at 350 million years old, much younger as well. Vega has a disc of dust circling it, and at least one large planet which could sweep debris aside allowing smaller worlds like Earth to exist. )

Okay, this relates to my past...
This object has teeth and sees blood frequently, rather like the annoying insect whose name it shares...

Your "internet past", or your real life past? If it's the former, I'd have to say,

Sir Thomas Mallory

Nice try, Lady Padfoot!

No, it relates to my RL past. There are clues in my profile. The object is usually metal and I'm thinking of the small sized one.

Can we get a clue? (Do they give clues in Jeopardy! ?)
DADAGinny
What is a Post-it?

If so, this can be long, short, curly, and differrent colours.

ginnyweasley2.gif
RinnaMarie
Actually, the answer wasn't Post-It notes. I was referring to a stapler, which gained popularity after being heavily featured in the movie Office Space smile.gif

But as Post-It notes were popularized by Romy and Michele's High School Reunion, I guess my answer had more than one question, smile.gif

Moving on, is it hair?
DADAGinny
Yes it is!

RinnaMarie
Okay... This uniquely named Northern Arkansas features a haunted hotel, a breathtaking all-glass chapel, and a famous religous play, and sports the motto: Where the misfits fit!
