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

[Daghain]

You say true, I say thankya. Feather is yours! :D

[Darkthoughts]

Cheers Daggers m'love!! :D

What is Cort's surname?

[Letti]

Does he have one? :lol:

[Darkthoughts]

:D He most certainly does!! ;)

[MonteGss]

Andrus.

What is his father's name?

[Mordred Deschain]

Fardo or something

[MonteGss]

Not "or something," just Fardo. You're up. :)

[Mordred Deschain]

Not "or something," just Fardo. You're up. :)


heh...the "or something" was just incase of mispelling :)

What caliber bullet do the guns of Eld fire?

[Wuducynn]

22??? :lol:

[Mordred Deschain]

22??? :lol:


no...:lol:

[Daghain]

.45 :D

[Wuducynn]

Good job Daghain :cool:

[MonteGss]

Yay Daghain! Post a new one! :)

[Daghain]

Yeah, I was trying to give someone else a chance at it. :)

Who had a nickname his father didn't know about, and what was the nickname?

[MonteGss]

Wasn't Roland called "Bad Ass" most of his life?
:lol:

[Daghain]

Nice try, but no. :lol:

[jos]

Elmer Chambers didn't know his son John had a nickname, and the nickname was Jake.

[Wuducynn]

Hmmmmm I thought his nickname was 'Bama

[jos]

Yeah, that too. But I just read the part a few days ago where it is stated that his father didn't know the kid was called Jake.




Oh, and if I'm right, first person that comes along gets to ask a new question, I'm off to bed.

[Darkthoughts]

Yeah - his name's actually John isn't it?

[Daghain]

Yep, jos got it. Good job!

Post a question, someone!

[Wuducynn]

Wait a second, you said the nickname that his Father didn't know. I thought that was 'Bama

[Darkthoughts]

He didn't know they called him 'Bama or Jake as I recall...then again I could be making that up *is too lazy to check* Anyway Matt - we need a question, quit nit picking and post one already :P

[MonteGss]

"John Chambers, who was Jake to the three or four boys who were almost his friends (if his father had known this little factoid, he undoubtedly would have hit the roof)..."

[Mordred Deschain]

Yeah, I was trying to give someone else a chance at it. :)

B]


I know, and it was a simple one too!

[Wuducynn]

"John Chambers, who was Jake to the three or four boys who were almost his friends (if his father had known this little factoid, he undoubtedly would have hit the roof)..."

Yeah, but his Father didn't know about the 'Bama thing either like Darkthoughts pointed out so he had two nicknames that his Father didn't know. But I want Jos to give us a question! :thumbsup:

[MonteGss]

I don't think she'll be around again too soon. :)
Why don't you go CK?

[Daghain]

Thanks Monte. There will be a little bit extra in your paycheck this week. :lol:

[Wuducynn]

Who dreamed of a giant bird with golden eyes that spread blood with its shadow?

[Daghain]

Ooh, that's a good one. Not even ringing a bell. :lol:

[ZoNeSeeK]

Hart Thorin

[ZoNeSeeK]

Or it could be Olive Thorin or Coral Thorin, actually :P

[Wuducynn]

Well which is your answer?

[Darkthoughts]

Um...Olive? Yeah, I'm totally stealing Zone's answers because he probably won't be around until tommorrow and I'm bored...bite me :P

[Wuducynn]

You're right, it was poor Olive.

[Darkthoughts]

When Suze finds the photocopy of Childe Roland To The Dark Tower Came, which stanzas have been circled?

[MonteGss]

:thumbsup:

[Darkthoughts]

:D I think you don't need any more encouragement ;)

[Wuducynn]

Taken care of.

[Mordred Deschain]

I actually can't remember...Books still not unpacked yet, but, how about my signature?

[ZoNeSeeK]

17 and 19 were two of them? :P

[Darkthoughts]

They're in Roman numerals...what are 17 and 19 in those? :lol:

Mord - I have sigs and avs switched off, but I'll go check it out in your profile ;)

[ZoNeSeeK]

Are you serious? :)

17 would be XVII and 19 would be XIX

[Wuducynn]

Hey Zone, shes not Roman so cut her some slack, Little Miss Know-It-All.

The stanzas circled were I, II, XIII, XIV, and XVI.

[ZoNeSeeK]

How do you know Miss Know-It-All? That little skank threw me a drunken fuck and snorted my whole fucking stash while i was asleep

[Wuducynn]

How do you know Miss Know-It-All? That little skank threw me a drunken fuck and snorted my whole fucking stash while i was asleep

Wellllll...okay, yeah shes Roman alright.

[Wuducynn]

Okay, I'll post a new question later this evening when I get home from work.

[Darkthoughts]

:lol:

Yes, I'm serious...I have NO clue about Roman numerals...I mean, it has been a while since the occupation of Britain and all... :P

[Matt]

That reminds me of when Bart was trapped in the zoo. Lions behind every door. He used the Rocky movies to figure out the numerals. :lol:

[Darkthoughts]

:rofl:

I know upto about 8...then I'm stumped as El Barto :D

[Daghain]

8 years of Catholic school, you can bet I can do Roman Numerals. :lol:

[MonteGss]

I can too!



Where the hell is CK with our question? :)

[Wuducynn]

What was "HOusitonic 5-8337"?

[MonteGss]

Wow. Not even an inkling. :thumbsup:
I'll see what I can find. :)






*edit*
Oh. That's why. :(

[Wuducynn]

Wow. Not even an inkling. :thumbsup:
I'll see what I can find. :)






*edit*
Oh. That's why. :(

Couldn't find it in the Concordance sweetheart? :(

[MonteGss]

The Concordance is the devil. :)
I know where to find the answer to your question. :P

[Darkthoughts]

Pssst...tell me!....

[MonteGss]

:lol:
I can't, it's not my question. Only CK can give a hint for you. :)

[Daghain]

Was that that Dobbie the House Elf robot?

[Darkthoughts]

*gives Monte a backrub*..."Go on!!" :lol:

[MonteGss]

Don't encourage me! :lol: I will not fall from The White. :)

[Darkthoughts]

:rofl:

[Wuducynn]

Was that that Dobbie the House Elf robot?

No.

[Wuducynn]

Don't encourage me! :lol: I will not fall from The White. :)

Hey, go ahead and give hints, I don't mind. Especially if it sets you up with a full-body massage from Darkthoughts.

[Darkthoughts]

:D Is it Nigel?

[Wuducynn]

No.

[Wuducynn]

Hint: It has nothing to do with any robots.

[Darkthoughts]

Yes, I thought you were being tricky like that! Is it in the DT books themselves? (as in not a guide or Little Sisters or comics)

[Wuducynn]

No.

[Darkthoughts]

No you won't tell? Or no its not in any of the books and you made it up? :P

[Wuducynn]

Although that number/letter combo is pretty important to some events in the Dark Tower series.

[Darkthoughts]

???? No clue...thats a good 'un alright :thumbsup:

[Wuducynn]

Its in one of the closely connected books or stories..theres a hint for you. Not much of one, but you know not to bother with the main ones.

[Wuducynn]

Oh and I don't consider Little Sisters to be a connected story. To me its part of the Dark Tower series.

[Darkthoughts]

I meant "no clue" as in I had no clue...but thanks for "the clue" though :D

I only read/was aware of Little Sisters quite recently...but yeah, its so direct I would agree that its part of the series.

[Wuducynn]

'Cause I'm such a kind hearted folken I will give another hint. This one is a fairly big one. This number/letter combination directly involves a major character that is in only one of the Dark Tower books and only in one connected book.

[Darkthoughts]

Something to do with Ted?

[Wuducynn]

:)

[Darkthoughts]

Saying Ted Brautigan isn't enough? Is it something that belonged to him?

[Wuducynn]

The question is the number/letter combo

[Wuducynn]

What was "HOusitonic 5-8337"?

[Darkthoughts]

Oh bugger it, I give up...I don't have a copy of Hearts :(

[Wuducynn]

Oh bugger it, I give up...I don't have a copy of Hearts :(

Well you're going to have to put in an order with the Concordance on Amazon then won't you?

[Letti]

AllHail, are you a book agent or something?

[MonteGss]

Don't do it Darkthoughts! Real trivia players don't use the Concordance! :P :lol: They use memory and straight up pull-the-book-off-your-shelf research. :)
It takes longer sometimes but isn't the real fun re-reading pieces of the series? :)

[Wuducynn]

What a load of reeking horse shit. Feel free to use any source you like. If you don't know it, you hunt for it.

[MonteGss]

:rofl:
I knew you wouldn't like that...Daghain won't either. :)
It's on my To Buy list but until I have it, I will continue to be jealous and take the high ground. :P


I use Booksearch for every question that I don't have an inkling on. I had to for your current. I can't answer cuz I don't have the book so don't understand the meaning.

[Wuducynn]

Is anyone going to give this question a try?

[Mordred Deschain]

what was the question again?

[Wuducynn]

It went like this - Blah, blah, blah and besides that blah blah blah? Blah?

[Daghain]

Yeah, you use what you got, man. :)

And right now I got nothin'. :lol:

[Wuducynn]

What was "HOusitonic 5-8337"?

[Letti]

Okay.
I will be honest, Matthew.
Becausw we have been friends for a long while.
I won't lie...
I won't beat around the bush.




For my part...



- I have given up. -
That's it.




*sits down calmly in the corner and keeps watching the others*

[Wuducynn]

Okay.
I will be honest, Matthew.
Becausw we have been friends for a long while.
I won't lie...
I won't beat around the bush.




For my part...



- I have given up. -
That's it.




*sits down calmly in the corner and keeps watching the others*

I didn't know you were trying. So far, Darkthoughts has seemed like the only one that has been.

[MonteGss]

I wish I could help you out with the question but I can't read a whole book that fast. I can't wait to read that book. :)

[Wuducynn]

I wish I could help you out with the question but I can't read a whole book that fast. I can't wait to read that book. :)

Who said you had to read the whole book?

[Letti]

Okay.
I will be honest, Matthew.
Becausw we have been friends for a long while.
I won't lie...
I won't beat around the bush.




For my part...



- I have given up. -
That's it.




*sits down calmly in the corner and keeps watching the others*

I didn't know you were trying. So far, Darkthoughts has seemed like the only one that has been.

I always give a try even if I say nothing and I am silent.

[ZoNeSeeK]

Was it another breaker camp that Ted could have gone to?

[NeedfulKings]

I believe it was the phone number to the Sagamore family...owners of Phil--a lost corgi.

[Wuducynn]

I believe it was the phone number to the Sagamore family...owners of Phil--a lost corgi.

This is very close...kissing close in fact. I'm looking for whose number it actually is. ;) Who is "the Sagamore family"?
Oh and Bill welcome to the thread. :cool:

[Darkthoughts]

The Sagamore family would be the Lowmen then wouldn't they?

If I'm right, Needful should go ahead and do the next question.

[Wuducynn]

You're right. The "Sagamore family" was the code for the can-toi that were looking for Ted and that was the telephone number they posted to contact them if you came across "they're dog".

[MonteGss]

Nice job Darkthoughts and Needful! Out of curiosity, which one of the stories from Hearts does that come from? That book is very next on my list. :)

[Wuducynn]

Low Men in Yellow Coats.

[Letti]

Bill! Amazing to see you here. :rose:

[Darkthoughts]

Nice job Darkthoughts and Needful! Out of curiosity, which one of the stories from Hearts does that come from? That book is very next on my list. :)

I need to reread Hearts too as I only read the first story...wasn't too keen on the second one at the time (although I did cheat and skip to the end to see what happened.)

Needful - take it away...

[Wuducynn]

I think it will be quite awhile until Needful (AKA The Bill Meister) comes back to the site, so I think you should give us the next question Darkthoughts.

[Darkthoughts]

Ok...

The philosophers of Roland's land said a ka-tet could only be broken by death or treachery. What was Cort's response to this?

[ZoNeSeeK]

Didnt he say that death and treachery are exactly the same thing?

[Darkthoughts]

No, but it was to do with his philosophy on death and treachery and ka...

[Daghain]

Cort's response was that since death and treachery are also spokes on the wheel of ka, such a binding could never be broken.

[Darkthoughts]

All hail Daghain!! Take it away sister!!

[Daghain]

Ooh, don't let CK see that! :lol:

Give me minute to think one up. :)

[Daghain]

Okay, here you go:

Who attempted to hit Roland from behind with a piece of stovewood?

[MonteGss]

Who attempted to hit Roland from behind with a piece of stovewood?

That filthy whore-daugther in The Gunslinger? Sooby was her name I think.

[Daghain]

You got it! Feather is yours. :D

[MonteGss]

:)

Who has a itty-bitty teeny peenie? Also, who said this?




Oh, All_Hail (CK) is not the correct answer. :lol:

[Letti]

Detta told it... (I guess) to Eddie?

[MonteGss]

I'm sorry princesa, you are incorrect. :)

[Daghain]

Eddie did. Henry was the one who said it to him.

[MonteGss]

:thumbsup:
You perv.
I knew you'd be the one to answer that question. :lol:
You're up.

[Daghain]

:lol: And it doesn't surprise me you're the one who asked it. At least I had to look it up. :D

Here you go:

What sometimes brings very lively dreams?

[Brice]

muffinballs

[Daghain]

You got it! Feather is yours. :D

[Letti]

Eh, next to Brice I am as slow as a snail.
Come on me, friend.
Let us see your question. :D

[Brice]

Whoever wants to ask one can. I'm gonna pass the feather on as I am tired and not staying more than a few minutes.

[ZoNeSeeK]

Odetta/Mia steal who's shoes?

[Letti]

Trudy Damascus'?

[ZoNeSeeK]

Yup, you're up csinos asszony!
(i hope that makes sense :) :) )

[Letti]

Yup, you're up csinos asszony!
(i hope that makes sense :) :) )

Wow. It does. *smiles widely* Although "asszony" usually means a woman who has a husband. But it's all right and really kind.

Give me some minutes to find a good question.
Okay.
Here you go:


Who danced naked in front of Susannah?

[MonteGss]

"I'm watching you masturbate" - Sincerely, Gan

P.S. I love your technique.

[MonteGss]

[ZoNeSeeK]

Close. its "Im masturbating while watching you masturbate."

[Darkthoughts]

It reads:

DEUS EX MACHINA!

Odd's Lane
Odd Lane

Turn this over after you think about it.

Do I have to put the rest?

[ZoNeSeeK]

no, just the part in caps is fine ;)

[Darkthoughts]

Cool!...

...Roland sometimes talks of a woman who may appear (presumably when you're on the brink of death and unconcious) to guide you to the clearing at the end of the path. Give two names by which she is referred to.

[ZoNeSeeK]

Can Calah?

[MonteGss]

Wow, nice question! :)
I don't know either name off the top of my head but I think I may know where to look. I'll see what I can find. :)

[Darkthoughts]

Nope Zonie!
And cheers Monts, I've been trying to think up a stumper :D

[MonteGss]

Well, I just hope I can find it before CK does. He will, of course, make it seem easy. :)

[Darkthoughts]

Where is he anyway?

[Daghain]

I'm going to give you three, in the hopes at least two of them are right. :D

Chloe, Morphia, and Selena.

[ZoNeSeeK]

3 great shags

[Daghain]

:lol:

[Darkthoughts]

And 3 right answers!! To infinity and beyond Daggers! :lol:

[Daghain]

WOOHOO!!!! I had to dig for that one!

Looking for a question....

[Daghain]

:lol: Just patient.

[Matt]

We may have to get Aaron and Hannah and go to Blackhawk together.

Its a 5 dollar max there so I can't hurt myself too much.

[Daghain]

[Matt]

You got it!!

:rock:

[Daghain]

SQUEE!

*skips off to find a new question*

[Daghain]

Man, .net has been up and down all day. Makes booksearching a question darn near impossible. Guess I need to start bringing the Concordance to work or start throwing softballs. :lol:

Here you go:

What did the Tick-Tock man think Jake was?

[Matt]

We really need to develop our own book search, I am not sure how long that one will be available. :lol:

When I get my mitts
On yer jiggly tits Ribble-ti-tibble-ti-ting-ting-ting!

O ribble-ti-tibble

Fiddle around with your ting-ting-ting!"

;)

[Storyslinger]

Nice Letti, way to go

[Letti]

It must be good, right?

[Storyslinger]

I'd say so

[ZoNeSeeK]

I loved it in the audiobooks when you hear the narrator singing the little songs and stuff ;P

[MonteGss]

I loved it in the audiobooks when you hear the narrator singing the little songs and stuff ;P

And that is EXACTLY why I asked that question. :lol:
That has been in my head for about a day and a half...it is hysterical. :)

The answer I wanted was just titties but Letti posted it all so she is up next. :)

[Daghain]

Wait until you hear Muller read Zoltan, Monte - I spit Diet Coke all over my monitor. :lol:

[MonteGss]

Yeah...honestly I am trying really hard not to backtrack and listen to The Gunslinger again in my re-listen. :lol: I can't wait to hear it. Muller is friggin awesome!

[Daghain]

DBF loves his voice, but hates the story. :lol: I need to go find other Mueller readings for him. :D

[Wuducynn]

Doesn't like the story? Sounds like its time to get another DBF.

[Daghain]

Nah, it's not like I want to share my entire life with the guy - I'm actually kind of happy he plays in his own sandbox. :lol:

[Letti]

Okay. I will try to come up something foxy.
*keeps thinking*

[ZoNeSeeK]

Heheh .. here, foxy means "sexed up"

[Storyslinger]

Heheh .. here, foxy means "sexed up"


Maybe thats what she ment ;):orely:

[Letti]

What was the same of the train that cut Susannah's legs?

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day

How does Detta attempt to slow the boys down on the beach?

[Daghain]

By flipping over her wheelchair, slamming on the wheelchair brake, and screaming in the middle of the night, cutting their sleep short.

[Matt]

That will totally do. You are up :wub:

[Daghain]

:D

Who often returned home sunburned and crying?

[Wuducynn]

:D

Who often returned home sunburned and crying?

The children of the Callas after they had their precious bodily fluids sucked from their brains and became roont.

[Daghain]

Ahhh, CK, I missed your obnoxious brand of humor. Truly. :lol:

Feather is yours. :D

[Wuducynn]

I'm just proud that you caught that ;)

[Daghain]

You know I got your number, baby. :lol:

[MonteGss]

Well Matt....I have to go to work and I can't come up with a question right now. You're all more than welcome to wait (hours) but since you had the answer too, why don't you pose one?
Happy Trivia everyone, I'll be back later.

*gobbles Dagger's cookie and throws feather in the air*

[Daghain]

Looks like it's all yours, Matty!

[Matt]
