[MonteGss]

Rowan Magruder

[Daghain]

OOOH, Monte!

[MonteGss]

:cool:

[ZoNeSeeK]

No...and that cat is getting fresh with me.

the cat has needs, what can i say.

[Wuducynn]

Rowan Magruder

Great job Monte!

[MonteGss]

Who had a desire to paint like Picasso or write like Faulkner, if only for a day?

[Daghain]

Pere Callahan?

[MonteGss]

Nope.


*I've edited my question a little bit.

[Daghain]

Oh wait...Susannah?

[MonteGss]

Nope again.

[Daghain]

Damn! :lol:

[Girlystevedave]

Ted Brautigan?

[Daghain]

OOH I think that's it. :D

[MonteGss]

You may think so, but you're wrong Daggers! :D :P

Sorry Girly, that is incorrect. :)

[Daghain]

Rats!

Pimli Prentiss?

[Girlystevedave]

Balazar?

[Girlystevedave]

We're losing our minds on this one huh?

[Daghain]

The thing is, I know when I hear the right answer I'll be all :doh:

[Girlystevedave]

I know. Dare I say it, I think you got it right.

[Daghain]

JINX! :lol:

[Girlystevedave]

:lol:

[MonteGss]

You ladies crack me up. :lol:

Nobody has said the correct answer yet though.

[Daghain]

Damn. :lol:

[Girlystevedave]

uugh, Monte you ruin my life.

[MonteGss]

I try. :D

[Girlystevedave]

Calvin Tower

[MonteGss]

*bump to new page*

Who had a desire to paint like Picasso or write like Faulkner, if only for a day?


No, sorry again. Calvin Tower is not correct

[Girlystevedave]

:pullhair: It's bugging me because if I wasn't at work, I'd probably be able to find the answer. Aarg!. I'm gonna feel dumb when I find out.

[Daghain]

Me too. :lol:

Was it Eddie?

[MonteGss]

No. ;)

[Girlystevedave]

Henry?

[MonteGss]

You ladies are way off.

[Girlystevedave]

aaaahhhhh!

[Girlystevedave]

Mordred :rofl: :rofl: Kidding.

[Girlystevedave]

Daghain, what's really gonna get me, and probably you too, is somebody is gonna sweep in with the answer after we've been picking our brains for hours.

[MonteGss]

CK. He always does.

[Girlystevedave]

You tell him to keep off

[MonteGss]

He may be my bitch, but he doesn't obey me. :lol:

[Girlystevedave]

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[Daghain]

It will totally be CK. :lol:

[Kevin]

Stephen King? I think I remember something like that in On Writing.

[MonteGss]

Nope. The trivia questions for this thread need to be Dark Tower related. In other words, from DT 1-7 or the connectors, so On Writing would not apply. :)
Welcome to trivia!

[Kevin]

Ah. I see...thanks for clearing that up.

My next guess was going to be Calvin Tower.

[MonteGss]

Nope, sorry. :)

[ZoNeSeeK]

*bump to new page*

Who had a desire to paint like Picasso or write like Faulkner, if only for a day?


No, sorry again. Calvin Tower is not correct

Fimli o'Tego? or prentiss? i think i have the names mixed up

[MonteGss]

No, sorry.

[Kevin]

Heehee, I notice there's no book search on this site...unfortunate.

[Daghain]

Trust me, it doesn't help. I've been all over .net - it's not there. :lol:

That means book 7 to me!

[Kevin]

Yea I checked the .net booksearch too and came up dry. You're probably right, its in book 7. So guess who's going to be up late tonight?

[Wuducynn]

I only have an inkling here.. Tom Cullum?

[Daghain]

Yea I checked the .net booksearch too and came up dry. You're probably right, its in book 7. So guess who's going to be up late tonight?

Not me! :lol:

And I'm surprised CK hasn't got it. :D

[Wuducynn]

Well maybe I have...we'll have to wait and see.

[Daghain]

:lol:

[Wuducynn]

?? I posted an answer above.

[Daghain]

Yes, but are you right? :lol:

[Wuducynn]

Like I said we'll have to wait and see. I'm doubting that I am. I honestly don't have a clue. Its a damn good question.

[Daghain]

I know. It's one of those that you can feel picking at the back of your brain, but you can't quite get the answer.

I'm going to throw out Susannah as a possible answer, though. :D

[ZoNeSeeK]

Oh i know - Giles the Robot?

[Wuducynn]

Yesterday, 02:54 PM #1760
Daghain
Content Manager


Oh wait...Susannah?



Yesterday, 02:55 PM #1761
MonteGss
Demon of the Prim


Nope again.

[Daghain]

:lol:

Short term memory is fried!

[MonteGss]

Nobody is correct yet. Sorry.

The question on the board is:
Who had a desire to paint like Picasso or write like Faulkner, if only for a day?

Here's a little hint that should help:
This person would also love to be able to see distinct auras of people.

[Wuducynn]

Is this directly related to the Dark Tower series?

[Storyslinger]

Did smeone guess Patrick?

[Wuducynn]

Did someone forget that they can click back a few pages and look?

[Storyslinger]

I was kind of busy at the time, I'll check now


And the answer is NO

[Wuducynn]

Just giving you shit man. I think you're the first one.

[Storyslinger]

Just giving you shit man. I think you're the first one.

I know, I wasn't meaning to sound pissed

[Wuducynn]

Would it make you feel any better if the truth was that deep down inside I don't give a shit one way or the other?

[Storyslinger]

:innocent:
:lol:

[Wuducynn]

My only concern is that if we do choose questions from the closely related non-Dark Tower books like Low Men in Yellow Coats, Insomnia and Black House for instance that the questions be directly related to the Dark Tower series, not some arbitrary character or happening within them.

[Storyslinger]

Good point, It must be directly related, I agree

[chuxter]

I'm gonna say Pimli Prentess

[Wuducynn]

Fimli o'Tego? or prentiss? i think i have the names mixed up
<-----

[Darkthoughts]

Um...Dinky Earnshaw?

[Daghain]

Did someone forget that they can click back a few pages and look?


:rofl:

And I still don't have the answer!

[Wuducynn]

You ALWAYS have the answers!! :rolleyes:

[Daghain]

Apparently not. :lol:

[chuxter]

Fimli o'Tego? or prentiss? i think i have the names mixed up
<-----

Awwwww, farq!

[chuxter]

The only other writer I can think might have said it was John Marinville in the Regulators

[Wuducynn]

Don't assume it's a writer ;)

[ZoNeSeeK]

Trudy Damascus?

[Daghain]

Trampas?

[Wuducynn]

Is it that one guy in that Dark Tower book? You know the one I'm talking about...

[Daghain]

:lol: The guy with the thing? And the hair? Yeah, that one.

[ZoNeSeeK]

Ahh .. is it the main guy who pursues Jake to the door into Fedic?

[Wuducynn]

I found the answer. It is Mr. Sharpton a recruiter for Trans Corp. which is a division of North Central Positronics.

Great question Monte..you have my sincere admiration. No joke. Damn fucking good question.

[Daghain]

Oh, THAT guy. :doh:

I knew once I heard it....:lol:

[MonteGss]

I found the answer. It is Mr. Sharpton a recruiter for Trans Corp. which is a division of North Central Positronics.

Great question Monte..you have my sincere admiration. No joke. Damn fucking good question.

You are absolutely correct. I read the past page or two and I was a little hurt that you thought I would ask a question that isn't Dark Tower related. :cry:

No...I was skimming that story (it's damn good, i think) and that whole conversation jumped out at me....probably because of the EXCALIBUR thing. :)
You're up, my master...

[Daghain]

It was a good question, Monte. :D

[Wuducynn]

Who said "Before victory comes temptation"?

[MonteGss]

Nice question! :thumbsup:

[Daghain]

Roland

[Wuducynn]

No.

[Kevin]

Vannay.

[Wuducynn]

Good job Kevin. The Feather is yours.

[Kevin]

Thank you, I've always liked that quote.

Whose name was Eddie probably writing on his desk during English class?

[Daghain]

OOOOH, that's a good one!

[chuxter]

I'm gonna guess Roland (and wasn't it Jake that was in the english class?)

[Kevin]

Nope, Roland is incorrect. And yes, Jake was in an English class, but its not pertinent to the question. This specifically has to do with Eddie.

[chuxter]

Damn, this IS a good one! :D

[Wuducynn]

Frodo Baggins?

[Kevin]

Frodo Baggins?

:lol:

Ummm...no. Nice try though?

[Wuducynn]

Eddie was a LOTR fan so I wasn't kidding.

[Kevin]

Ah-ha. Sorry bout that then. :doh:

[Aaron]

Johnny Cash?

[Kevin]

Nope.

[alinda]

His brother Henry the great sage and eminate junkie ?:orely: I'm sorry for guessing I cant think of anyone else.

[Kevin]

Nope.

[Darkthoughts]

I'm sure its a girl's name and I'm sure its in DoTT? But I've loaned my copy out so I can't check :(

[Kevin]

It is a girls name, but its not in DoTT. <-------hint

[Darkthoughts]

Cool - I shall have a search then!

[Daghain]

Gotta be book 7. Booksearch was futile. :lol:

[Kevin]

maybe. :shrugs:

:evil:

[MonteGss]

*bump*


Whose name was Eddie probably writing on his desk during English class?

[alinda]

Susannah ? maybe he was looped!!

I am always amazed at how much I forget even after
reading /rereading a book!!

[Kevin]

Me too, Linda. I noticed this on my 4th reread.

Sussannah is incorrect.

[MonteGss]

How about another hint? :evil:

[Kevin]

Ok. The topic Eddie thinks he missed because he was writing someone's name on his desk is deus ex machina.

Hope that helps!

[alinda]

his sister , didnt he have a sisiter? what was her name?:pullhair:

[Wuducynn]

his sister , didnt he have a sisiter? what was her name?:pullhair:

She has two..you can pick which one you like better I guess. :D

[ZoNeSeeK]

Claudia y Inez Bachman? ;)

[Kevin]

Bachman is incorrect. And Linda to save you the trouble its not his sister Gloria either.

CK, Eddie isnt a she, unless I missed something major, and he doesnt have two sisters...unless I misunderstood your post, which is more than likely.

Do elaborate on the deus ex machina clue, think about which book they would've been discussing that.

To summarize, Eddie thinks he was writing a girls name on his desk when his class was discussing deus ex machina, which is major topic in one of the books in the series.

Its also not in DoTT.

[Wuducynn]

Kevin, SK gave Eddie's sister two names Selina and Gloria. It was a screw up on his part.

[Kevin]

Ahhh I see, reminds me of the donkey/mule screw up. I even checked the concordance before I posted to make sure, and it didnt mention Selina. :doh:

Thanks for the clarification.

[Girlystevedave]

Mary Lou Kenopensky

[Kevin]

YAAAYYYYYYY!!! Finally. I was getting worried.

Very nice job sai*.

top of pg. 144 of DT7 if anyone is interested.

Take it away!

*Edited because I'm a douche.

[Girlystevedave]

:thumbsup: Great question. I never would have guessed it, but I happened to stumble across it in my DT concordance book... yes, I'm an uber nerd.

You can go ahead with another question if you want.. my brain's too empty right now..

[Girlystevedave]

Not that I'm in any way offended by being called dude, I've been called worse things, but I'm a girl.

[Kevin]

Sorry, I edited it. :(

[Girlystevedave]

Don't be sorry. It's cool.

[Kevin]

Ok, next trivia question:

What term does Margaret Eisenhart use to define the mark left after hitting someone with a 'Riza?

[Daghain]

Deep haircut?

[Kevin]

Yes indeedy. All yours Daggers.

[Daghain]

Where were Patrick Danville's pencils purchased?

[ZoNeSeeK]

damn american question :onfire:

[Daghain]

:lol:

Damn Australians. :D

[Storyslinger]

K-mart?
:orely:

[Daghain]

No. :D

[Storyslinger]

*bugger*:)

[BedOfRoses]

Woolworth's in Norwich, Connecticut :)

[Daghain]

Yes! Feather is yours, my dear. :D

[BedOfRoses]

:rock: Woo hoo!! New question in a minute...

[BedOfRoses]

In what situation did the term "turn turtle" come to mind, and who thought it?

[MonteGss]

Good question, Bed. :)

[chuxter]

That was Justine Anderson and she was thinking about Bryan Smiths van going into the ditch and almost turning over.

That was a great question. I had just read that very passage today while at lunch orid'a hads no clue!

[BedOfRoses]

Yay! You are correct, and the feather is yours. :thumbsup:

(Sorry I took so long to let you know...I wasn't able to go online while at work today).

[chuxter]

Irina - what is it and who refused it.

[chuxter]

What? No takers?

Damn I'm good!

[Daghain]

I just remembered today no one had answered it. I'm going to try and look it up when I get home if no one beats me to it. :D

[Wuducynn]

Irina - what is it and who refused it.

The Healing Madness and was it Roland who refused it?

[chuxter]

Correct!!


I was begining to think noone would get it.

The feather is yours.

[Wuducynn]

I pass the feather to Monte whenever he chooses to bless us with his presence.

[MonteGss]

**Blesses the site**


Sure, I'll go...but let me think a little bit on it. :)

[MonteGss]

Softball.
Of all the names Roland cried out upon reaching the Tower, how many were gunslingers?

[Daghain]

All but one?

[MonteGss]

Nay, lady.

[Daghain]

Ah, I'm too lazy to look it up right now. I'll see if anyone else wants a shot at fame. :lol:

[Wuducynn]

Whats a "gunslinger"?

[Daghain]

http://smilies.vidahost.com/otn/laughing/astrosmiley2.gif

[Brice]

Whats a "gunslinger"?


:orely:

[Kevin]

Whats a "gunslinger"?

That should be the trivia question. :lol:

[Brice]

Nah, too hard...that question would go unanswered for weeks around here. :rofl:

[MonteGss]

Whats a "gunslinger"?

Considering the names he proclaimed, I believe it would be hard to argue or nitpick on this question....unless of course you can't answer the question. :D A gunslinger is who sai King says is a gunslinger.

[Darkthoughts]

Well it depends, theres only 6 if you're saying a gunslinger is someone who passed their trial exactly as Roland and the first ka-tet did (So, you have Roland, Cuthbert, jamie, Alain, Cort and Stephen Deschain). If you include the second ka-tet its 9, if you include Oy 10, Callahan 11, Stephen King 12..which way did you mean it? :P

[Daghain]

Jesus, she should get it based on that answer alone. :lol:

[Wuducynn]

Whats a "gunslinger"?

Considering the names he proclaimed, I believe it would be hard to argue or nitpick on this question....unless of course you can't answer the question. :D A gunslinger is who sai King says is a gunslinger.

Oh shut the fuck up Monte.

[MonteGss]

Whats a "gunslinger"?

Considering the names he proclaimed, I believe it would be hard to argue or nitpick on this question....unless of course you can't answer the question. :D A gunslinger is who sai King says is a gunslinger.

Oh shut the fuck up Monte.

:rofl: Make me. :D

[MonteGss]

Jesus, she should get it based on that answer alone. :lol:

Sure, why not? Lisa's turn. :)

[Darkthoughts]

Cooooool!! I have a concordance now...:evil: Prepare to be baffled :lol:

Btw Monts - what was the answer as you reckoned it?

[MonteGss]

A gunslinger is who King/Roland said was a gunslinger. Steven, Cuthbert, Alain, Jamie, Eddie, Susannah, Jake and himself. Oy is an animal and not a gunslinger and none of the other names were gunslingers either. Anyone saying otherwise is really reaching.

So Lisa, where is your question? :)

[Darkthoughts]

It's on it's way :D

But, I must disagree with you by adding Cort to the list. I'm pretty sure he must be a gunslinger by the very fact that he trains gunslingers. Does he not mention somewhere his test infact?

[Daghain]

I don't think he passed the test, though. So in that regard he wouldn't be. :D

[Darkthoughts]

He must of or he'd of been exiled :orely:

[MonteGss]

Cort was a bondsman. He was a type of "servant" of the gunslingers. He was not a gunslinger himself and I am fairly certain it never says he was either. :D

[chuxter]

According to the Gunslingers Guidebook:

Cort is listed as a Gunslinger Trainer is the son of Fardo, also a Gunslinger Trainer. He ascended to the position after his predecessor, Mark was killed by the blade of an overzelous apprentice.

[MonteGss]

So, I am correct. :D Thanks. Cort is not a gunslinger.

[Daghain]

:thumbsup:

What he said. :D

[Darkthoughts]

Boo! :lol: I don't see how he can train gunslinger's if he's not one himself - thats just dumb...like civilians training army recruits.

Yeah...I'm a bad loser :lol:

My question is:
What lines the floor at the Cradle of the Grays - you need to provide the place of origin in the answer.

[Wuducynn]

A Kashamin rug?

[Darkthoughts]

You git! That was meant to be hard :lol:

[MonteGss]

Yeak, CK can really aggravate you with his ninja-quickness in answering trivia questions. He's a stud. :) Nice job!

[ZoNeSeeK]

ew

[Darkthoughts]

:lol: So, Stud - wheres our question? Or were you so ninja quick we missed it? :P :huglove:

[Storyslinger]

There and gone :lol:

[Wuducynn]

Shit. I totally forgot to post one last night. Let me mull it over and see if I can think of one without the books on me.

[Darkthoughts]

Yeah, yeah...not just any old stud, an intelligent one with a photographic memory too :P

[MonteGss]

:rofl:









Where's the next fahckin question?!

[Wuducynn]

What date was a cattle-theef meant to be tryed?

[Darkthoughts]

What?!! Frelling random much?...I demand a refund :D

[Wuducynn]

Sure, you'll have to come over to the States to collect it though ;)

[Darkthoughts]

Ooh la la! ;)

[MonteGss]

After collecting, you have to come to MN to have some drinks with me. :)

[Darkthoughts]

It's an absolute given! :huglove:

[Wuducynn]

Okay cutie pies, do either of you have an answer?

[Wuducynn]

What date was a cattle-theef meant to be tryed?

[Darkthoughts]

Do you mind? We're talking in here! :P

Er...no, in other words :lol:

[Wuducynn]

Sorry, Pancho Villa.

Just so you know, the way the question is spelled is purposeful and a hint.

[Wuducynn]

What date was a cattle-theef meant to be tryed?

[Darkthoughts]

Hmm, I'm thinking WaG...but my sister has my copy :(

[Daghain]

Demon Moon?

[Wuducynn]

No, this is an actual full date.

[Daghain]

Rats. :lol:

[Wuducynn]

Clues are in the question itself.

[Wuducynn]

What date was a cattle-theef meant to be tryed?

[Daghain]

You know, the most annoying thing about this is that .net has been down for DAYS. I can't even narrow down the search. :lol:

[Wuducynn]

Awwwwwwwww :(

[Daghain]

I know, you're heartbroken. :lol:

[Wuducynn]

http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m168/Los_The_Red/crying.gif<-----Me.

[Daghain]

Awwww...that's truly pitiful.

[NeedfulKings]

12/Fe/99

[Wuducynn]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaand The Bill Meister pulls out a GRAND SLAM!!! Great job my friend! :cool:

[Darkthoughts]

Zowie Cavey!! :clap:

[Daghain]

Nice!

[Wuducynn]

100,000.00 Extra-special, mean-nothing-whatsoever points for anyone who can tell me which book its from and what scene within said book.

[MonteGss]

It was from Little Sisters and it was written on a court register or something.

[Wuducynn]

Or something..yeah. 100,000.00 extra-special, mean-nothing-whatsoever points awarded to Monte.

[MonteGss]

Sheriff's office it was in, not courthouse.

Yay!!!!! I won! I won! I won!
I'd like to thank all my fans out there in Oz, my family, to my good friend Roland and to that sad, little man-bitch of mine, CK for his desire and thoughtfulness he shows me.

:lol:

Where's Bill's question?

[NeedfulKings]

Haha! Thanks everyone! My research tactics didn't involve a book (since I'm at work), so I'll have to post a new question when I get home to my Books!!!

If you strong arm me, I'll ask something, but I can't "verify" it's authenticity until I see it IN a book. :)

[NeedfulKings]

New Question:

Who did Susan Delgado encounter "...standing by himself not far from the place where Silk Ranch Road and the Great Road intersected..."

[Daghain]

You are going to make me look this up, aren't you? :angry::lol:

[Daghain]

Susan encountered the man with the long red hair and straw hat, a farmer, who threw cornshucks at her and said charyou tree. :D

[NeedfulKings]

Sorry for making you look it up!!! :D

But, you are GOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!! The feather is yours. Ask away. :)

[Daghain]

I hate that I knew exactly where to find that - and the entire contents of my office, including my books, are strew all over my livingroom right now.

It took me longer to find the book. :lol:

[Daghain]

Softball:

What is at 19 Turtleback Lane, Lovell, Maine?

[MonteGss]

Daghain's Discreet Dominatrix?

[Kevin]

I think that's the only thing that could make TDT better. :P

Maybe a subforum? :D

[Daghain]

Daghain's Discreet Dominatrix?

That was supposed to be our little secret. :angry:

:lol:

[Chassit]

Crap I know this one! What is it? Cara Laughs?


XIX

[Daghain]

YES!!!!! Feather is yours. :D

[Chassit]

WOW!! Give me a few to think of something....

XIX

[Chassit]

Ok...What are the names of the so called 'Hitler Brothers'?


XIX

[Letti]

Ok...What are the names of the so called 'Hitler Brothers'?


XIX
I'm gonna know this! I'm gonna know this!

[MonteGss]

Psssst! Letti!
I think the names start with an L and a G...

[Wuducynn]

I don't know why I'm starting to get this feeling, but I think Monte might already know the answer!?

[Daghain]

Callahan called them George and Lennie, but their real names were Norton (Nort) Randolph and William (Bill) Garton. :D

[Letti]

I don't know why I'm starting to get this feeling, but I think Monte might already know the answer!?

Impossible!

[MonteGss]

Daggers turn! :D

[Daghain]

:D

What did James Norman own that eventually became the property of Roland?

[Kevin]

His medallion?

[Daghain]

You got it! Feather is yours. :D

[Kevin]

Ok ummmm....here's a quickie: What is the name of the hill where SK and Jake are hit?

[Darkthoughts]

Turtleback Lane?

[Kevin]

Nope.

[Darkthoughts]

I didn't think so, I'm just too lazy to look it up :D

[Kevin]

Well I don't think this one should be tooooo hard. :orely:

[Daghain]

It is if you're too lazy to look it up. :lol:

[Wuducynn]

I'll give everyone until tomorrow and if no one has answered it then, I will.

[Daghain]

OOOOH, a threat!

If I knew where the fuck my Concordance was....I set it down yesterday in this nightmare of clutter and now I can't find it. :lol:

[Wuducynn]

Well you could view it as a threat or just an incentive. Its all a matter of perspective.
