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

[MonteGss]

:lol:

[ZoNeSeeK]

Yes, assmaster.

-

Who was Alain's father?

[Letti]

Christopher Johns

[ZoNeSeeK]

Yup

[Letti]

:dance:

*thinking*

[Matt]

Christopher Johns

Also known as Burning Chris. :clap:

[Letti]

Once Allie did something that gave her back her maidenhood - that's what Roland thought.
What did she do?

[Daghain]

Covered her face with her hands?

[Letti]

Covered her face with her hands?

Girl, you rock.

[Daghain]

Thanks. :D

How many years was Mia originally promised with her son?

[Matt]

7 years

[Daghain]

You got it! Feather is yours. :D

[Matt]

Cool. :nana:

Okay...

What was the route that the Wolves used to transport kids to and from Fedic?

[Darkthoughts]

Thunderclap/Fedic?

[Matt]

I was hoping how it was done could be spelled out. The track and everything.

This is mostly because I never quite understood how they did it. :lol:

[chuxter]

The Thunderclap/Fedic door was one way. They could exit the door and ride there and get the children but going back they had to meet and go back via train.

"They go to the Calla side of Thunderclap by door and come back to Fedic by train"

DT6 pg 248

[Matt]

Wonderful--thanks Chuxter

You have the feather my man

[chuxter]

What was John Cullums grand-nephews name and how old was he?

I'm putting the answer in spoiler tags below in case some answers but I dont' get back to check it.

His great nephews name was Aiden and he was 3 - SOS pg 180

[rolandofgilead]

I believe the rat is correct. :rock:

I could have sworn it was the bat thingy:idea:

[Matt]

Wow, that post was a while ago.

Was it the bat? I cant' even remember the question.

Which one did he kick? :lol:

[Wuducynn]

What was John Cullums grand-nephews name and how old was he?




Aidan and he was three years old.

[Wuducynn]

What is the one state in the Union that someone can't pronounce correctly? Who is this, and how does this person pronounce the state?

[Letti]

What is the one state in the Union that someone can't pronounce correctly? Who is this, and how does this person pronounce the state?

That's not one question... :)

[Wuducynn]

What is the one state in the Union that someone can't pronounce correctly? Who is this, and how does this person pronounce the state?

That's not one question... :)

Look back, lots of folk have been doing that, since the beginning.

[Daghain]

It's a two-parter. :D

[Letti]

What is the one state in the Union that someone can't pronounce correctly? Who is this, and how does this person pronounce the state?

That's not one question... :)

Look back, lots of folk have been doing that, since the beginning.

I know, dear! :rose:

[Wuducynn]

I know, dear! :rose:

Good, because I wouldn't want to have to get rough with ya, even though I know you like that kind of thing.

[Storyslinger]

:scared:

[Wuducynn]

:scared:

I'm sorry, but thats the wrong answer. Good try though.

[Wuducynn]

Bumping the question -

What is the one state in the Union that someone can't pronounce correctly? Who is this, and how does this person pronounce the state?

[Letti]

I know, dear! :rose:

Good, because I wouldn't want to have to get rough with ya, even though I know you like that kind of thing.

I am an open book for ya... ;)

[Storyslinger]

:scared:

[Daghain]

I seriously looked for it for like an hour last night. I'm stumped. :(

[Wuducynn]

Hint time - It has to do with where someone was supposed to go but never did.

[Letti]

I seriously looked for it for like an hour last night. I'm stumped. :(

This post gives a lot of hope to all of us.

[Daghain]

Hint time - It has to do with where someone was supposed to go but never did.


That is so not helpful. :lol:

[Wuducynn]

Well last night I told you it was in DT7 right? Well who in that book was supposed to go somewhere and never did? Originally he was supposed to go and then those who were sending him, were REAL happy that he didn't go.

[Wuducynn]

Again the question is -

What is the one state in the Union that someone can't pronounce correctly? Who is this, and how does this person pronounce the state?

[chuxter]

Vermont,Roland, Vermong

[Wuducynn]

That was the hint, but Cullum was not the person who mispronounced it.

[chuxter]

I updated my earlier post

Vermont, Roland, Vermong

[Wuducynn]

Vermont,Roland, Vermong

Great job Chuxter, kudos for being the one to finally get the answer! :thumbsup:

[Daghain]

Yay Chuxter!!! :D

[Letti]

CK... I must say it was a damn good question.

chuxter... you rock... *bows*

[chuxter]

OK, I'm not sure if this falls within the rules of this area of trivia. It does come out of the DT books, but, you can't find the answer within the books anywhere. If this doesn't work for you guys I'll cry pardon and come up with another. I just like the challenge of a toughie once in a while. I will give this one clue. Once, a long time ago on TDT.net I addressed this in the forums and gave the answer then.

We've all seen this symbol
http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b100/chuxter/NFOND.jpg
And can probably find exactly what it means. Now, can you tell me what font it's written in? If you have Photoshop you should be able to find it in there.

Good luck

8,000 bonus points to whoever can spell out exactly what it says.

[Letti]

Can I find out the answer with Gimp, too?

[chuxter]

Can I find out the answer with Gimp, too?

Maybe. If you have a lot of fonts loaded you probably can. I'm assuming Gimp is software and not a guy dressed in rubber locked in your basement.:ninja:

[Daghain]

Looks like Hoefler Text to me.

[Wuducynn]

Is that 8,000 extra special bonus points or just bonus points?

[ZoNeSeeK]

fuck, its a non standard symbol font?

[MonteGss]

I have no idea what font.

[Storyslinger]

ARGH :pullhair:

[chuxter]

Looks like Hoefler Text to me.


Yar, 'tis close enough ya trig cully. 'tis Hoefler Ornaments in all caps.

Now, what's it say?


You get the feather either way. Nice job. I thought this'd be harder than that.:doh:

[Daghain]

I have no freaking clue what it says. :lol: I worked as a typesetter for a couple years, so I knew where to look. :D

[MonteGss]

Why don't you post a new question Daggers? I'm sure the chuxter-man will tell us what it says when he comes back. :) He's passed you the feather!

[Daghain]

I know, I was looking for a question. :lol:

Who read The Door Into Summer?

[MonteGss]

Didn't Jake remembering reading that?

[Daghain]

Very good! Feather is yours. :D

[MonteGss]

I wonder if that is a good book. Hmmm, maybe I'll check it out on B&N.com.
I'll be back in a while with a question. :)

[MonteGss]

Here's mine:

Where does fault always lie?

[Daghain]

Good one!

Fault always lies with the one weak enough to lay blame. :D

[MonteGss]

Yep!

[Daghain]

Cool! :D

What did Roland believe was one of the few foolish statements Cort ever made?

[MonteGss]

He thought what he said about the hawk was foolish. Though it isn't really clear which part. Cort said that the hawk would never fear Roland and that the hawk was God's gunslinger.

[Daghain]

Yep, that the hawk was God's gunslinger.

You're up! :D

[MonteGss]

How did Ted Brautigan let Bobby Garfield know that he had escaped the Low Men again and was safe?

Happy Trivia!

[Darkthoughts]

petals in an envelope?

[MonteGss]

Um, could you be a tad more specific my dear? :P
There are many, many types of petals.

[Darkthoughts]

Oh shite! I don't have a copy of hearts, that was from memory...flower petals, don't remember what sort though :(

[MonteGss]

Take a guess...I'm sure you'll be right. Think DARK TOWER trivia. ;)
:D

[Storyslinger]

Rose petals in an envelope?

[Darkthoughts]

Thats the ones! Take it away...

[chuxter]

Sorry guys, I've been away.

It reads

NFOND

Which I imagine translates into Unfound.

[Daghain]

Cool. :D

[MonteGss]

Storyslinger or Darkthoughts should pose a question next. Whoever comes back first. :)

[Darkthoughts]

Ta da!!

There is a certain feather that appears in WotC and Black House...what kind of feather is it?

[MonteGss]

:thumbsup: Me likes that question. :)

[Darkthoughts]

I'm trying to be more obscure :D

[Wuducynn]

The Opoponax feather.

[Darkthoughts]

Indeed, now you take that feather and go wild! :D

[Wuducynn]

I'm always wild. I'll have to post a new question later on.

[Wuducynn]

Who are the "Three Old Farts of The Apocalypse"?

[Daghain]

Aaron Deepneau, Moses Carter, and John Cullum.

[Wuducynn]

Yep, the Opoponax feather is yours.

[Daghain]

:D

What book was written by Benjamin Slightman, Jr.?

[Darkthoughts]

The Hogan and The Dogan

[Daghain]

The Dogan is correct! Feather is yours. :D

[Wuducynn]

I think Lisa lost her feather going todash...

[Darkthoughts]

Well, if you calling drinking all weekend going todash then yes, yes I have :D You gotta love Grandparents!!

So then: Who wears "huge, Caliph like slippers"?

[Wuducynn]

I would call drinking all weekend a form of going todash yes. Especially if most of the drinking involved any liquid that has 80 + proof alcohol in it..

[Darkthoughts]

I wasn't that hardcore, I just stuck to lager ;) The only alcohol I've had that strong was Jamaican rum and it was rough as a badgers arse!

[ZoNeSeeK]

Dandelo?

[Darkthoughts]

Nope! :D

[MonteGss]

Who wears "huge, Caliph like slippers"?

Sheemie?

[Darkthoughts]

Nope :D

[Wuducynn]

Cordelia Delgado?

[ZoNeSeeK]

Hart Thorin?

[Wuducynn]

ZoneSeek?

[Darkthoughts]

Well, I've heard Zonie does when hes on holiday - but no, no and no!...:P

[chuxter]

Hax the cook

[Wuducynn]

Hax the cook

Ahhhhhhh thats it. I remember now.

[Darkthoughts]

Way to go Chuxter - you're up!!

[chuxter]

What was Stephen Kings aunts name? She's married to Uncle Oren.

[Wuducynn]

Aunt Beru?

Oops, sorry wrong series.

[chuxter]

No, I'm soooory.

But here's a dollar and some envelopes for your troubles.

[Matt]

Hmmm...I thought I knew this and now I don't.

Gotta be in SOS though

[MonteGss]

What was Stephen Kings aunts name? She's married to Uncle Oren.


Was it Aunt Ethelyn?

[Matt]

Sounds like bio fuel to me. :lol:

[chuxter]

What was Stephen Kings aunts name? She's married to Uncle Oren.


Was it Aunt Ethelyn?


You got it! Feather on witcho' bad self.

[MonteGss]

Cool! Here's mine:

How did Roland's friends first discover he was foolin' around with Susan?
Or when they assumed as much anyway.

Happy Trivia

[Wuducynn]

Cool! Here's mine:

Or when they assumed as much anyway.

Happy Trivia

Cuthbert found a piece of Susans hair on Roland?

[MonteGss]

Yeppers. Let me shove this feather up your no-longer-tight ass. Your turn. :)

[Wuducynn]

Thanks!

Who called Roland a word that means "Sweet One", what was this word and what particular thing makes Roland remember it?

[MonteGss]

Well I did the usual Booksearch since nothing jumped out at me. So now I am looking in Book 7. Hopefully it is not a waste. :)
Good question buddy. :thumbsup:

[Letti]

His questions are way too good.

[Wuducynn]

Thanks folks! But, Letti? How can a Dark Tower trivia question be way too good?

[chuxter]

I know the 1st two answers and I think I know the last.

The first is Susan, 2nd is Cujo, 3rd is when Bryan Smith is talking to King after he was hit I think.

[Wuducynn]

I know the 1st two answers and I think I know the last.

The first is Susan, 2nd is Cujo, 3rd is when Bryan Smith is talking to King after he was hit I think.

Good job Chuxter! :thumbsup: I was looking for Smith telling King that he loved Cujo and thats what reminded Roland of what Susan would call him. But thats close enough ;)

[chuxter]

At least how old is Walter O'Dim? I'm looking for a specific number that is mentioned in one of the books.

[Wuducynn]

Over a thousand.

[chuxter]

That is mentioned in the books so I should give it to you. I'm looking for another number which more specifically mentions that he is "at least XXXXXX year old"

[Wuducynn]

Yeah, now that you mention it I remember that. This whole thing about him being a " at least a thousand years" old surprised me. It would seem that he would be A LOT older than that if he was around when the Great Old Ones built the ARC. It seems that the Great Old Ones were around 10's of thousands of years ago in Mid-World. Anyway, when I get home I'll look up that year that you mentioned.

[Wuducynn]

1500?

[Letti]

5000?

[ZoNeSeeK]

12,000 ?

[Wuducynn]

Bueller?...Bueller? Has anyone seen Ferris Bueller?

[chuxter]

1500?


Sorry, I've been away.

[Ed McMahon] "You are correct, sir!" [/Ed McMahon]

At least 1500 years old. This is said during his, uh, encounter with Mordred.

[Letti]

Bueller?...Bueller? Has anyone seen Ferris Bueller?

I have seen that movie. :D


Your turn, sai. :rose:

[Wuducynn]

You better have seen that movie Letti! Its a classic!

Next question is - What does Roland call the desert dogs in Thunderclap?

[ZoNeSeeK]

can-toi?

[Wuducynn]

No.

[MonteGss]

You better have seen that movie Letti! Its a classic!

Next question is - What does Roland call the desert dogs in Thunderclap?

Can-toi-tete

[Wuducynn]

You better have seen that movie Letti! Its a classic!

Next question is - What does Roland call the desert dogs in Thunderclap?

Can-toi-tete

Good job.

[MonteGss]

Thanks CK. :) Next question:

Who brings Brown his beans?

[Daghain]

Papa Doc.

[MonteGss]

:D
Of course. Your turn.

[Wuducynn]

Annnnnnnnnnnnnd Her Dagness makes me proud for the billionth time!

[MonteGss]

Snif....:cry:
I don't make you proud?

[Wuducynn]

I've said before that you do.

[MonteGss]

Oh, I thought you were talking about my mad-sexual skills all those other times. OK, I get you now. :)

Daaaaaaaaaaggers!!!!! Question please!!!!!

[Wuducynn]

Both.

[Daghain]

CK...you're so good to me. :lol:

What was the significance of the Baby Forest?

[Wuducynn]

I was not lying either..good question but I'm going to let others have a crack at it.

[Daghain]

Awww, shucks. :D

[ZoNeSeeK]

hrm.. does it have something to do with apprentices before taking their test of manhood?

[Daghain]

You're on the right track, but no. :D

[Wuducynn]

Does it have something to do with all the apprentices enjoying Roland's turgid manhood?

[Daghain]

Ummm...no.:shoot:

[Wuducynn]

Your little pea shooters can't hurt me.

[Daghain]

They can if I shoot you in the right place. :lol:

[Wuducynn]

Pff! Bullets don't hurt me..

[Daghain]

Oh I forgot...just spoons. :lol:

[Wuducynn]

Sharpened spoons are fun to swallow.

[Daghain]

:lol:

Going to take a crack at the question? No one else seems interested.

[Wuducynn]

Yeah, I will. Brb with an answer.

[Daghain]

You had to look it up? I'm disappointed. :cry:

[Wuducynn]

:( I remember it but not the significance...sorry to have disappointed you.

[Wuducynn]

The Baby Forest is where Roland learned to keep an exact minute (or hour and so on) in his head. Cort believed that neither clocks nor sundials could be depended on all the time so as part of their manhood training the apprentices were sent into the forest and had to return at the exact right time or they would be sent back.

[Daghain]

Ding ding ding ding! We have a winner!

Feather is yours, CK. :D

[Wuducynn]

I guess I didn't disappoint TOO much then :rolleyes:

[Daghain]

Nope. :lol:

[ZoNeSeeK]

All Hail cracks me up ;(

[Wuducynn]

What was the name of the god that Roland killed a priest of once.

[ZoNeSeeK]

Abbalah? :)

[Wuducynn]

No. Good try though.

[chuxter]

Wasn't it Sylvia Pittstons Man-Jeasusssss(God really) during his time in Tull.

[Wuducynn]

No, she was a preacher..this is a preist.

[Darkthoughts]

Was it...Baal? Dunno - thats a total guess...

[Wuducynn]

Nope. That was an interesting idea though..

[Wuducynn]

What about you Daghain, any idea?

[Daghain]

Not a one. It's tickling the back of my mind, but I can't quite get it. :D

[Wuducynn]

I just went back and looked and actually it was a preacher not a preist. But Sylvia Pittston wasn't the one I was looking for. I'll re-post the question correctly.

What was the name of the god that Roland killed a preacher of once. Besides Sylvia Pittston.

[ZoNeSeeK]

Judas?

[Wuducynn]

There is a god named Judas?

[ZoNeSeeK]

fuck i dont know, its probably Candycock, the god of muffinballs or something

I thought i remembered roland mentioning something about judas

[Wuducynn]

And Zone gets it! Candycock the God of Muffinballs is the right answer!

[Daghain]

:lol: riiiiight

[MonteGss]

Hmmm...something Roland said to Father Callahan rings a bell...
*goes to check his hunch*

[Daghain]

Is that what I'm thinking of? Hmmmm......

[MonteGss]

What was the name of the god that Roland killed a preacher of once. Besides Sylvia Pittston.

A preacher of the Buff.
So, the god would be Buff. :)

[Wuducynn]

Buffalo Star..close enough for me. Good job Monte, coming through when others fail miserably. *high fives*

[MonteGss]

Oh dang, I just found a quick passage in Wolves and all it said was Buff.
I suppose I should have kept reading further to find the full name. Thanks though!
Lemme think of a question. :)

[Daghain]

Nice, Monte!

[MonteGss]

:D
How long was the reign of Arthur Eld?

[chuxter]

Seventy Years?

[Daghain]

Seven hundred?

But I think I'm wrong. :(

[Wuducynn]

I think The Chux-meister is right.

[MonteGss]

He is! Great job Chuxter, you're up! :thumbsup:

[Kevin]

Yesssss I found the trivia thread, finally.This site is massive. Hello again Monte!

[MonteGss]

Welcome to the thread! ;)
We've got some pretty good players in here, I'm sure you'll contribute.

Chuxter should be back sometime soon with his question. :)

[chuxter]

OK, what is the Coffah?

[Wuducynn]

OK, what is the Coffah?

Another word for Na'ar or Hell.

[ZoNeSeeK]

the guy who makes our coffee :)

[chuxter]

OK, what is the Coffah?

Another word for Na'ar or Hell.


Corrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrect!:clap:

[Wuducynn]

*Bows humbly*

Who had a box that said "I see who opens me" engraved on it?

[ZoNeSeeK]

John Farson, who gave it to Rhea temporarily.

[Wuducynn]

Well no, Rhea had it in her secret compartment already and thats where she put the Pink Grapefruit. But you knew Rhea had it so I'll give it to ya. Good job.

[MonteGss]

Wow, that was quick! I didn't even get a chance and it was answered! Nice job Zone!

[Wuducynn]

Zone was kung-fu fighting, he was fast as lightning..

[ZoNeSeeK]

:)

How does Callahan convince Jake to leave him in the Dixie Pig?

[Wuducynn]

By telling Jake that the Grandfathers would slit Monte's throat and drink his blood in front of him.

[Girlystevedave]

He speaks to him in Roland's voice

[ZoNeSeeK]

no, and im after what he says to him

[Girlystevedave]

Tell him that the vampires would kill Oy

[ZoNeSeeK]

Yup. You're up :P

[Girlystevedave]

yesss! Give me a minute.

[ZoNeSeeK]

I keep thinking you are daghain, because of your sig :D

[Wuducynn]

Oh it was Oy not Monte..Freudian type I guess.

[Girlystevedave]

I like to keep people confused....:unsure:

Okay, probably too easy. But this is my first, so..
What was the name of Cuthbert's horse in Hambry?

[Daghain]

Glue Boy. :D

[Wuducynn]

Well quit stalling and post a goddamn question.

[Daghain]

:lol:

I was being polite. Something YOU would know nothing about. Question is coming...

[Wuducynn]

Please post a goddamn question. Damn it.

[Daghain]

Okay, here you go:

The first holdup of this type in history took place here. Name the place and what was stolen.

[Wuducynn]

Good one :lol:

[Daghain]

I thought so. :D

[MonteGss]

Things really get exciting around here. :)

[BedOfRoses]

Katz's Pharmacy and penicillin (keflex) was stolen. :)

[Daghain]

[Wuducynn]

Moby Snot the Great Green Whale

[BedOfRoses]

Yes!!! (I love that one)

The feather is yours, oh great one. :rock:

[Wuducynn]

:lol: Great question. Let me go find something to mull over.

[Wuducynn]

Who waited to take Patricia and why?

[ZoNeSeeK]

Aunt Talitha?

[Wuducynn]

No.

[MonteGss]

Who waited to take Patricia and why?

Baby Michael and his parents because they were fleeing the Red Death in Fedic. Do I say true?

[Wuducynn]

You say true. Good job.

[MonteGss]

I must leave for work so I pass the feather to anyone who wants it. :)
Happy Trivia!

[Wuducynn]

What day was ice available on more than any other according to Cuthbert?

[ZoNeSeeK]

No.

[ZoNeSeeK]

Uh, the day of the ball?

[Wuducynn]

No, this day has a particular name.

[BedOfRoses]

Glowing Day

[Wuducynn]

:o Good job...

[BedOfRoses]

Thanks!!!!

New question coming up. :D

[BedOfRoses]

Where would I find a picture of a "red-lipped woman wearing a jaunty red hat."

[Wuducynn]

On a package of Parti cigarettes.

[BedOfRoses]

Correct (and I think it is Parti)! The feather is yours. :)

[Wuducynn]

Who took second in an esteemed poetry prize competition in 1949 as an undergraduate and wrote a novel that was never published?

[Daghain]

DAMN!!!

You're going to make me work for this one, aren't you? :angry:

[Wuducynn]

I'm not going to make you do anything, just watch the question eat into your soul driving you to the brink of madness...

[Daghain]

Bitch. :lol:

[Wuducynn]

There is a spot on the lawn and plenty of baskets that need weaving my love.

[Daghain]

Kiss my lilly white ass. :lol:
