Really? Did you not read the question? God that's like picking Boise State to win a national championship?! :D

It looks like somebody got his musicals mixed up. :)

Don't really need your :thumbsup: I know how to play the fucking game and don't need your pat on the back after the comments you've been making.

And I don't mind the ball busting but the entire thread has been bootsy this and bootsy that. I'm not seeing very many for example 'Drexl(sorry Drexl) sucks at slam dunks', 'I'm behind Drexl I must suck' comments in these sheep games. Seems like only one ball is being busted right now.,

Clearly, you are correct, but this never occurred to me when I was putting together the questions, if anything, I would have thought mentioning Forrest Gump would make people feel like they needed to pick another movie. Clearly this would have been better as a Reverse Sheep question (how many movies people could name won awards that year? 12? Less than that?)

S:16 - Both Siskel and Ebert strongly criticized the growing trend of “slasher movies” (though they both made exceptions for films like HALLOWEEN). Name a 1980’s slasher movie.

That's because Drexl has never blown a gasket during a sheep game. You have.

Also, after he tried to commend you for your play here, you acted like a dick again. You being mentioned during sheep games is soon going to be like twikoff being a poll question...a staple of the forum.

My mind went blank on that one, so I just picked an actor known for musicals and hoped. :(

To be honest, I actually thought that was a reverse sheep question as I thought you wanted another movie (outside of Gump) that won an Academy Award. But then I read the simple version of the question and answered Gump.

I was originally going to answer Bullets over Broadway (Diane Wiest won Best supporting actress).

I don't know that I would've come up with any without cheating if you hadn't given away the answer. That's part of the reason why I asked if it was meant to be a reverse on the first page (in addition to the fact that you orignally had an R in front of it).

Even without the wording on the Oscar question I would have still picked Gump since it won Best Picture and a ton of other Oscars that year and PF had a lone screenplay win which I would assume not everyone would be aware of.

Yup. This is exactly why you will continue living in infamy. Might as well cue the rickroll music up.

I figured it was just a choice of Freddy or Jason (with a few Halloween 2's thrown in). I thought Freddy was more popular.

It was 1978; that's why I didn't make it my answer.

My own horror game taught me that Jason rules (at least on DVDTalk).

I've always thought of Freddy as being too creative to be a mere "slasher". Not to take anything away from Jason, though, he had some pretty memorable kills himself.

Going off on a tangent ... where did that come from? Did someone just accidentally make twikoff an option for some random poll some time ago, everyone laughed at it, and it never went away?

I caught a mistake on made on scoring Obi-wan Jabroni, which leads me to fear there may be another. Please let me know if you spot something wrong with your score.

I think I'm done for today, will finish tomorrow. Still some goo questions coming up. There are still some slams out there, some of them doubled up. And of course there is the fascinating final question, where we all share a little about ourselves. Find out who actualy matches sharing the tissue box.
