RWAV time again

Posted by Chris L on 2000/08/26 14:06

Apologies to those of you who receive this twice.

Articles are needed if there is to be an issue of RWAV to give out at
Freshers fayre.
Book review, film reviews, short stories...
Write ups of Role play games, those of you who are currently at the
gathering could
write that up. Simon's vampire Larp deserves something in RWAV.

If you want something to go into the magazine, then get writing.
In the absence of any other information, the address to send your
contribution to
would be contained in the following sig.

Chris Lyth (Clyth@)

A man is never drunk if he can lie on the floor without holding on.

I just sent a review of "Hollow Man" (premieres 29 Sept 2000).

You might like to indulge in a little game, too: see if you can spot the
connections with the following:-

1) "Friday 13th"
2) "Back to the Future"
3) "Tomb Raider"

No, I can't.

I do however wonder if all of us opinionated gits out here were to come up
with a question of this ilk, perhaps ChrisL could assemble a competition?

First prize perhaps some dodgy X-files videos that are either obscure
collectors editions worth a fortune, or a pile of worthless second-hand tat
in a soon-to-be-obsolete format.

Just a suggestion....

Now all I have to do is think of a question.

Nice idea. Now everyone smile nicely at Phil. It will freak him out if
nothing else.

Those 4 you gave me were quite nice. I didn't know 3 of them. :-(

I need not suffer in silence while I can still moan, whimper and
complain.

Why is everyone smiling at me ?

OK....

Connect the Minotaur, a Dalek Controlled Headmaster and Richard the
Lionheart (amongst others) You may take them all appearing in Dr Who as a
given !

Connect Star Trek, Monty Python and Citizen Kane.

What do Alicia Witt, Everett McGill and Kyle MacLachlan have in common ?

I'll think some more up that aren't acting related.....

They've all been referenced in "The Simpsons".

For instance, the Leonard Nimoy "Halloween Special"; the ep where Homer
goes back to college; almost every bloody episode.

(I just mention is because I'm sure it is not the answer you are looking
for, even if it is correct. :-) )

Mental note to self - set quiz questions with a unique answer. Like what does
HAL stand for..... ;-)

Howabout connect Dick Sullivan, Captain Nathan Bridger & Lt. Cmdr. Gary Mitchell
?

Star Trek, 2001, and Battlestar Gallactica ?

A British bases team of Superheroes, a quest for a cure to a plague and William
Riker's Third Command ?

For the younger members: This a traditional answer to this question.
Namely the wrong one.

Reports of your demise were greatly exaggerated

Whereas this may be the first time the correct answer to this question has
been given during my association with the society... Where were you when we
trying to win the quiz between 91-94 ?

I haven't heard of any of them. That's what they've all got in common.

IBM, with each letter -1, if you see what I mean.

How about connect [snip] Star Trek, 2001, and Battlestar Gallactica?

They're all set (mostly) in space.

A British bases team of Superheroes, a quest for a cure to a plague
and William Riker's Third Command ?

They all contain the letters a, e, o, r, s, and t, and none of them
contain the letters j, v, x, y, or z.

Cutting. But I don't imagine there are that many students with DVD players
yet, whereas a large # I suspect will still have videos.

You offer some generosity and all you get is .....

How about offering money, would that get the videos? *8)

As Colin always used to say before every quiz - cash is accepted :-)

No, I can't.

Your chances might go up if you actually see the film (although I dare say
you could figure some of them out with diligent research).

And I have to dissassociate myself from the label "opinionated git"... :-)
