The Dark Tower Trivia Thread ***SPOILERS***

[MonteGss]

I like that one Woofer!
I'll let others have a chance while I go grocery shopping...:)

[obscurejude]

I tried looking it up in the W and G but I don't have the time. Is it a memory about his mom?

[MonteGss]

What memory of Roland's is triggered by Cuthbert and Alain at the thinny?

Vacationing at Lake Saroni with his mother and father. Specifically his mother and father with their arms around each other. Right?

[obscurejude]

Ah, I can see it now Monte. It was at the tip of my mind. good job.

[Daghain]

Ha! I thought that was it!

[Woofer]

What memory of Roland's is triggered by Cuthbert and Alain at the thinny?

Vacationing at Lake Saroni with his mother and father. Specifically his mother and father with their arms around each other. Right?

And Monte has the feather again! Great job!!! :clap:

[MonteGss]

I'll be enjoying Guinness all day long...with the occasional Black N Tan and Jameson thrown in for flavor. I'll come up with another one soon. :cool:

[MonteGss]

Ok, a little easier this time. :)

What are the only things honk mahfahs do to brown women?

Happy Trivia!

[Letti]

I have some thoughts..

[jayson]

rape them with their grey-meat?

[Wuducynn]

I have some thoughts..


Share them!

[MonteGss]

rape them with their grey-meat?

You have part of the answer. :)
Though the grey-meat part isn't entirely necessary.....but pretty funny. :lol:

[MonteGss]

current question on the board:




What are the only things honk mahfahs do to brown women?

Happy Trivia!

[Wuducynn]

Hmmmm... rape them and steal their forspecial? I really need to buy a copy of The Drawing of Three. Along with The Gunslinger and The Wastelands..

[MonteGss]

Rape them is half of the answer. There is something else they do though too.....and sometimes both at the same time. :)

[Wuducynn]

Play with their itsby bitsy white candles? :harrier:

[MonteGss]

Nope, only you do that. :cool:

[Daghain]

Rape them and tease them with food?

[MonteGss]

no no

[Daghain]

Hmmmmm.......

[MonteGss]

Hint:
:lol:

[Daghain]

Rape them and make fun of them? :lol:

[MonteGss]

No.

[Wuducynn]

Rape them and laugh at them?

[MonteGss]

Yes sir, that is correct.
And sometimes both of them at the same time. Feather is yours. :cool:

[Daghain]

Well, thank Gan that's over. :lol:

[Wuducynn]

I NEVER thank Gan :angry:

[MonteGss]

That was a super easy question too. :cool:

[Daghain]

I blame the cold meds. :lol:

[MonteGss]

After hearing Muller do the Detta parts from DT2, it is hard to forget. :lol:

[Wuducynn]

Yeah, I just wish he didn't EXPRESS HIMSELF so MUCH

[Wuducynn]

Alright let me find a question....this is about the Dark Tower series right?

[MonteGss]

Shut up and ask a question. :lol:

[Wuducynn]

What was described using a scripture from The Book of Good Farming ("For in my Kingdom there are many mansions"), as an analogy?

[Daghain]

Ooh, that's a good one.

[Wuducynn]

Thanks! Oh and Monte? Maybe you should let someone who is...ummmm...not YOU try and get this question?

[obscurejude]

The clearing at the end of the path?

[MonteGss]

What was described using a scripture from The Book of Good Farming ("For in my Kingdom there are many mansions"), as an analogy?

Was it the Sunlight Home?

[Wuducynn]

The clearing at the end of the path?

No.

[Wuducynn]

Was it the Sunlight Home?

No.

[MonteGss]

Thanks! Oh and Monte? Maybe you should let someone who is...ummmm...not YOU try and get this question?

Well I would but clearly many people here aren't too interested in playing DT Trivia. So shut it!

[obscurejude]

The Dark Tower

[Wuducynn]

The Dark Tower

No.

[Wuducynn]

Well I would but clearly many people here aren't too interested in playing DT Trivia. So shut it!

Do you need a bitch-slapping? I think you do...

BITCHSLAP!!

[obscurejude]

The Territories/ Multiverse

[Wuducynn]

The Territories/ Multiverse

No.

[obscurejude]

Thank gan that monte got bitched slapped.

Was it the understanding of the mind/body/heart in the calla?

[Wuducynn]

http://machinegunkeyboard.com/shao/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/bitchslapped.jpg

[Wuducynn]

Was it the understanding of the mind/body/heart in the calla?

No

[obscurejude]

Does that mean to stop trying to answer?

[Unfound One]

:lol:

[Wuducynn]

No, it means I'm just having fun.

[obscurejude]

Damn All Hail. Any hints? I know thats lame, but I'm drunk and i've been studying all day.

[MonteGss]

Shit. I should have known you would ask a question like that CK.
But don't worry your pansy little head, I'll not answer to give others the chance.

[Wuducynn]

You know I was just messing with ya. Answer away.

[Daghain]

Well Monte, you'll be happy to know the concordance is no help. :lol:

[MonteGss]

Of course not, and it doesn't surprise me. You have to know the books to get this one. :) Good damned question CK. :)

[Wuducynn]

Thanks! :harrier:

[Erin]

It is a great question. I think my head imploded when I read it.

[Wuducynn]

Question on tap is -

What was described using a scripture from The Book of Good Farming ("For in my Kingdom there are many mansions"), as an analogy?

[obscurejude]

The Palace of the Crimson King?

[Wuducynn]

The Palace of the Crimson King?


Its the Court of the Crimson King, but its close enough...great job.

[obscurejude]

Thank you sir.

[obscurejude]

I've been thinking about it, it finally clicked. Great question.

[MonteGss]

:thumbsup:

[Daghain]

Good job, jude!!!!!

[obscurejude]

Okay, new question:

Which character uses the quotation, "All is silent in the halls of the dead" and what is he/she/it describing?

Probably an easy one. I realize I am in the presence of greatness.

[Daghain]

Eddie uses it to describe the sounds coming from Shardik's lair.

[obscurejude]

I knew it was too easy for the dag-ster. Correct faire lady. You're up.

[Daghain]

Thank you! :)

This *should* be a stumper:

What is the name of Overholser's farm?

[obscurejude]

The Rocking B?

[Daghain]

Nope. :)

[MonteGss]

*edited*

Seven-Mile

[Daghain]

WTF??? You GOT that? NICE JOB!!!

Feather is yours, my dear. :wub:

[obscurejude]

Monte, you are a god among men. I've been looking for an hour.

[MonteGss]

:cool:
I know where to look. ;)
Great question though. :D

I'm off to bed soon, so anyone that wants the feather can have it. :)

[Wuducynn]

WTF??? You GOT that? NICE JOB!!!

Feather is yours, my dear. :wub:

Do not...underestimate...the....power....of the Monte...or suffer a quick answer to your....trivia question.....you will....

[Kevin]

What newspaper does Jack Mort get the article on Odetta's first accident out of?

[MonteGss]

I like that question too. Good one Kevin.
Glad to see you jumped right in the thread! :cool:

[Daghain]

:thumbsup:

Yeah, that's a good one!

[Wuducynn]

Boy, over your tiny little heads... :rolleyes:

[Samanthita]

What newspaper does Jack Mort get the article on Odetta's first accident out of?

The New York Daily Mirror

[MonteGss]

Boy, over your tiny little heads... :rolleyes:

What are you referring to? The Yoda quote?

[Wuducynn]

I'm referring to you blowing me.

[Kevin]

What newspaper does Jack Mort get the article on Odetta's first accident out of?

The New York Daily Mirror

Exactly right, I was hoping that would last longer... :panic:

[MonteGss]

Nice job Samanthita!

[Samanthita]

Thanks guys.

Someone else can have the feather. I'm not much good at asking questions, I like answering them more.

[Wuducynn]

Easy one. What land is it rumored that dragons and tall tales originate from?

[obscurejude]

Garland?

[Wuducynn]

No, but very good try.

[jayson]

Delain

[Wuducynn]

Yes.

[jayson]

i'll let someone else take the feather. it's been good to see new people playing trivia.

up for grabs...

[Wuducynn]

Good call bubble gum man

[sarah]

I'll take it. :)


Name at least six ways of transportation Susannah has used to get around during the series.

[jayson]

good one sarah! i will resist the urge to answer it and wind up holding the feather again.

[MonteGss]

What R_of_G said, word for word. :)
:thumbsup:

[obscurejude]

1. Wheelchair from her when.
2. Wheelchair from crip lot in Topeka
3. Roland's harness
4. Motorized scooter thingy at Blue Heaven
5. Fo cho wagon (I can't quite remember what it was called, the one Roland pulled her in on the final leg to the tower)
6. Eddie's Hip

[sarah]

:clap: excellent.

[obscurejude]

*Grabs feather*

I'm thinking of a question. I don't have a concordance...

[MonteGss]

I don't have a concordance...

Good! :thumbsup:

[obscurejude]

Okay, I'm going to try something similar to Maerlyn, where a concordance will not help you out much. This is probably lame, but...

With the exception of existing in other bodies, name three distinct articles of clothing that Roland wears around his torso from three different novels.

[MonteGss]

Why would this question be lame? Questions that can't be answered using the concordance are good ones! GREAT question jude!

[MonteGss]

Does Roland ever wear a pink feather boa in any of the books? Hmm.

[obscurejude]

He damn well should...

[MonteGss]

Do his gunbelts count as an answer?

[obscurejude]

I suppose, but I was really looking for his torso...like shirts and things. I had three in mind, but that might not have been made explicit in the question.

But whatever Monte, its your world, I'm just living in it.

[MonteGss]

Ok then.

[obscurejude]

Ok then, what?

[MonteGss]

1: Old Home Days t-shirt from DT7

[obscurejude]

Exactly...keep it up. :thumbsup:

[MonteGss]

Three days with no new posts in this thread! C'mon guys! Join in, this is a great question! :D

Question on the board:


With the exception of existing in other bodies, name three distinct articles of clothing that Roland wears around his torso from three different novels.

One correct answer:

1: Old Home Days t-shirt from DT7

Anyone else? :D

[Storyslinger]

Deerskin vest near the end of DT7

[obscurejude]

Very good Brian, but I need three. But, yes, that is exactly what I'm looking for. :thumbsup:

[Storyslinger]

Thats two, only one left.

[obscurejude]

Not really, Monte named one from DT VII as well. I need two more from two other books. But, again, I applaud your efforts.

[Daghain]

Oh, brother.

Old home days shirt from DT7.
Deerskin vest from DT7.
New shirt Irene Tassenbaum bought for him in DT7.

:)

[MonteGss]

Not really, Monte named one from DT VII as well. I need two more from two other books. But, again, I applaud your efforts.

This is what I was thinking. I used DT7 so the other two answers need to be from other books. :)

ps - i know how to read the question correctly. :lol:

[Storyslinger]

:doh:

[Daghain]

Eh, my reading for comprehension is off today. :lol:

Let's see.

Old Home Days shirt from DT7
Serape from DT...shit, 4???
No-color shirt described in DT1.

[MonteGss]

Nice Daggers!

[obscurejude]

Rough night Daggers?

It works for me. Well done. :clap:

I'm surprised that no one mentioned the Chambray shirt Roland got at Took's in Wolves of the Calla.

Daggers now has the feather. :)

[MonteGss]

Fantastic question jude!

[obscurejude]

Thanks Monte. That means a lot coming from you.

[Daghain]

That was a damn good question. I'll have to throw out a softball, as I'm at work with no books. Let's see...

What is the diminutive form of "Sai"?

[jayson]

Soh?

[Daghain]

Yep! Feather is yours. :)

[jayson]

hooray! i shall have something this evening hopefully...

[jayson]

ok gunslingers here we go...

What do you call the gun-holding position where the gun barrel rests on the hollow of the left shoulder?

[Daghain]

Oh damn, that's a good one. I know this.......

[Letti]

It's not a typical girly question, is it? *smiles*

[Daghain]

It just ticks me off because I can remember reading about it...but I can't remember where. :lol:

[Unfound One]

is it a docker's clutch?

[MonteGss]

That is a great question too R_of_G! :cool:

[jayson]

and i didn't even use my concordance! i just happen to be re-reading a certain book.

[jayson]

is it a docker's clutch?

no sai, it is not.

[MonteGss]

and i didn't even use my concordance! i just happen to be re-reading a certain book.

:P
I will sit back and enjoy this question for a bit. :) :thumbsup:

[jayson]

so here it comes again... 2nd verse same as the first....

What do you call the gun-holding position where the gun barrel rests on the hollow of the left shoulder?

[Wuducynn]

Great question Jayson. I've been perusing the Concordance and I can't find anything yet. I remember the mention of this position too.. :pullhair:

[jayson]

thanks matthew.:rock:

[obscurejude]

"For a moment the Pere held the Ruger's barrel beside his right cheek like a duelist"

[jayson]

"For a moment the Pere held the Ruger's barrel beside his right cheek like a duelist"

then he asked for the 99th time "am i gunslinger yet? huh? huh? c'mon am i?"

[Wuducynn]

"For a moment the Pere held the Ruger's barrel beside his right cheek like a duelist"

Was this supposed to be an answer to the question on the table?

[jayson]

"For a moment the Pere held the Ruger's barrel beside his right cheek like a duelist"

Was this supposed to be an answer to the question on the table?

if it was, lemme just say "swing and a miss, strike one"

[MonteGss]

Or....AIR BALL! If you prefer basketball. :D

[Daghain]

Yeah, it's an actual term, but I'll be damned if I can find it.

[MonteGss]

Wasn't it simply called, "the load?"
I can double check because I think I know where it is.

[Daghain]

Oh, that might be it. Hmmm.....

[jayson]

close, but it is not "the load". it is a similar type of phrase though [as in "the _______"]

[MonteGss]

Damn. That was what popped into my head right away.

The rest?

[jayson]

keep guessing, not "the rest" either...

[MonteGss]

Grrrr. This is a better question than I originally thought. :lol:
And I thought it was good before! :thumbsup:

[jayson]

thanks, i like it. if it's puzzling to you monte, i know it's a good one.

[Wuducynn]

The Guard

[timtempest6]

the honer stance

[MonteGss]

How about the honor stance? :)

[jayson]

The Guard

correct!!!:thumbsup:

[Wuducynn]

Great question Jayson :harrier: I'll be posting mine in a little while.

[jayson]

thankee matthew. i look fwd to breaking my brain trying to answer yours...

[obscurejude]

Hurry the fuck up CK.

[MonteGss]

No doubt.

[Wuducynn]

List all the locations in the saga where the symbol for "Unfound" is found.

[obscurejude]

1. Doorway Cave
2. Top door to the Tower
3. Was it on Roland's guns?
4. Was it on the letter Roland's father wrote to Calvin Tower's family?

[obscurejude]

5. The box to Black 13 too right?

[Wuducynn]

1. Doorway Cave Yes.

2. Top door to the Tower I'm assuming you mean the top door OF the Tower, the one where Roland gets thrown back to the Mohaine Desert? No, but close.


3. Was it on Roland's guns? No.


4. Was it on the letter Roland's father wrote to Calvin Tower's family?
Not the letter, but the box the letter was kept in..close enough for a yes from me.



5. The box to Black 13 too right?
Yes.

[MonteGss]

The door that Patrick creates for Susannah is another one, I think.

[ZoNeSeeK]

The main door into the tower - 'Unfound' turns to 'Found' when Roland reaches it.

[Wuducynn]

Zone and Monte are right too. I'm looking for a total list for the win.

[ZoNeSeeK]

Jude can go for it :)

[Wuducynn]

Zone and Monte are right too. I'm looking for a total list for the win.

[MonteGss]

1 Doorway Cave
2 Box to Black 13
3 Door Patrick made for Susannah
4 Door to the Tower that changed when Roland approached
5 Box Toren's letter was kept in

Did I miss any?

[Wuducynn]

Good job, Monte. About time someone stepped up to the proverbial plate. Grand slam.

[MonteGss]

:cool:
Next up:

What two choices do you have when the bombs start falling?

Happy Trivia!

[Wuducynn]

Ahhhhhhh one of my favorite minor characters.. :harrier:

[obscurejude]

Is this from our favorite Rev?

[MonteGss]

I don't know, is it?

[sarah]

Praising Jesus, up in the sky dropping the bombs, or those who are in the villages below, getting blown to smithereens.

[MonteGss]

Praise Jesus! Can I get a GAWD-BOMB? Say hallelujah, give me amen and I give you the feather. :)

[Wuducynn]

GAWD BOMB!!


http://www.centurychina.com/plaboard/uploads/nuclear_explosion.jpg

[MonteGss]

Hallelujah!

I hope we get a new question soon. :)

[Wuducynn]

Sometime until the end of the decade at least...

[sarah]

I'll have a question shortly. :)

EDIT:


When Roland threw Walter's jaw bone into the fire, what did Eddie see? Details please.

[Wuducynn]

A key, rose and a purple blade of grass?

[sarah]

sorry all_hail, that is incorrect.

[Wuducynn]

Those things? You know what I mean?

[mia/susannah]

The Rose and the key.

[Girlystevedave]

I'm gonna say: the key

[ZoNeSeeK]

a blazing rose with a key inside it?

[bergy81]

A baby crawling on the ceiling with a revolving head?

[Wuducynn]

A baby crawling on the ceiling with a revolving head?

Yep, Bergy's got it! :harrier:

[ZoNeSeeK]

:lol:

[Unfound One]

A bright light/blazing sun that morphs into the shape of the key.


A baby crawling on the ceiling with a revolving head?

Excellent movie, by the way.

[sarah]

The Rose and the key.


Yes those are the two things he sees in the fire. I was looking for specifics on the key and specifics on what the rose looked liked to him.


I should have worded my question a little bit better.

The feather is yours mia/susannah.

[Wuducynn]

Those things? You know what I mean?

Wait! This wasn't the right answer!?!?

[MonteGss]

Those things? You know what I mean?

Wait! This wasn't the right answer!?!?

Yeah, I think maerlyn was being a bit too picky with her answer. The feather should be yours CK. :lol:

[sarah]

A key, rose and a purple blade of grass?



Those things? You know what I mean?

Wait! This wasn't the right answer!?!?


Well, All_hail, you did say the blade of grass and Eddie didn't see that. Like I said I should have worded the question differently. I was looking for specifics on the key and the rose that Eddie saw.

[Wuducynn]

:rolleyes: Yes, Sarah, I was kidding...

[sarah]

:couple:

[Wuducynn]

Well at least Monte got that I was being facetious.

[sarah]

:P


yeah, usually I get your humor, but that went right over my head. What can I say? :lol: :doh:

[MonteGss]

It's ok Hotness, you're allowed to be a bit slow sometimes....
:lol:

I guess CK and I just have that special "smartass bond" going for us. :D

[obscurejude]

Ok, who has the feather?:orely:

[jayson]

i believe Mia/Susannah does if i am not mistaken...

[obscurejude]

Milissa, we are eager dear. Do you have a question for us?

[Wuducynn]

i believe Mia/Susannah does if i am not mistaken...

You're not.

[MonteGss]

*cues Final Jeopardy music*

[Wuducynn]

**Falls asleep**

[sarah]

**slaps All_Hail around with a large trout**

[sarah]

I'll step in a bit until Mia/Susannah gets back.


Roland said to Eddie "you really are like Cuthbert - I remember something he said when we were boys. We were planning a midnight lark in the cemetery, but Alain wouldn't go."

Who was Alain afraid of offending?

[MonteGss]

the shades of his fathers or something like that. i've used this part before for a different question. :)
i just can't remember exact wording at them moment. they were talking about ghosts and the ghosts of their fathers...

[sarah]

yes that's half of it. oooo monte, you're so close yet not close enough :P

[Wuducynn]

oooo monte, you're so close yet not close enough

Thats EXACTLY what Monte's wife says to him every night in bed! :(

[jayson]

:rofl:

[sarah]

:rofl:

poor monte. Don't take any shite from him.

[MonteGss]

:rofl:
It was a pretty good one and I expect nothing less from him. ;)

I knew I was missing part of the answer, but I'm too lazy to look it up (in the books).

[Wuducynn]

Okay, I'm going to send a polite, sweet, warm, pm to mia/susannah as a reminder.

[Daghain]

Crap, I was the one who originally answered that question, and I can't remember the freaking answer. :lol:

Was it he was afraid of offending the shadows of his fathers?

[obscurejude]

Monte already said that, didn't he? Are you drinking again Daggers?

[Daghain]

Shadows and shades *could* be different.

And I'm too lazy to look it up. :lol:

[MonteGss]

I'm sure maerlyn is just being super-picky again. ;)

[sarah]

I'm sure maerlyn is just being super-picky again. ;)


:P


Well, since it really wasn't my turn to post a question, I'll give you the answer since you are too lazy to look it up. :lol:

He was afraid of offending his fathers and mothers. ;) don't count out the women. :D

Has anyone heard from Mia/Susannah?

[Wuducynn]

I sent her a pm, but I don't think she has been on for a couple of days.

[Kevin]

Can I jump in with a question? Or are we waiting on Melissa here?

[sarah]

jump away, kevin. :)

[Wuducynn]

Can I jump in with a question? Or are we waiting on Melissa here?

Bring it on!

[obscurejude]

Can I jump in with a question? Or are we waiting on Melissa here?

You've got the feather home slice.

[Kevin]

What are three words Roland has for a car? There are three in particular I have in mind, he says them all in the same sentence, but if you find others they are valid as well.

[Daghain]

Crap...I can only think of two.

[Kevin]

Two are not real words, one is a misspelling of a real word.;)

[obscurejude]

Cart o mobile, carriage, and wagon?

[Kevin]

One of them is correct.

[obscurejude]

Wow Kevin. I was wondering if you could be more cryptic. :lol:

[MonteGss]

cartomobile, tack-see, truckomobile

[mia/susannah]

I apolagize for being late with a question. Next time that I can answer one of your questions, I will post a question faster. Beg your pardons.

[MonteGss]

If my answer is correct, mia/susannah, you may have the feather back. We were just waiting for you return actually. :)
You aren't the first person to forget and you won't be the last. :)

[Kevin]

Monte is dead-on. :thumbsup:

[Daghain]

I couldn't remember tack-see! Damn. :lol:

[Letti]

No problem, Mia. It's not a race and life is long. ;)
Let's see yours.

[mia/susannah]

This is probably a very easy question.

How many tankers did Roland, Cuthbert and Alain blow up in the Drop?



Edited by ~maerlyn

Spoiler tags removed. :)

[Kevin]

Mia, the thread title is marked for spoilers. Good thinking, but you dont need them. :thumbsup:

[mia/susannah]

Mia, the thread title is marked for spoilers. Good thinking, but you dont need them. :thumbsup:

Thanks. I was not sure if I should use the spoilers or not so I decided to be on the safe side. :fairy:

[Daghain]

Three?

[MonteGss]

7?

[jayson]

19

[obscurejude]

12?

[Wuducynn]

1 Million?

[obscurejude]

Delah?

[obscurejude]

69?

[MonteGss]

They didn't destroy any tankers at all. The firecrackers actually destroyed them. So, the answer is ZERO. :D

[obscurejude]

Astute observation Monte, but it might need revision. Didn't Cuthbert destroy a few with a machine gun? :D
