You know know those terrible uncontrollable laughing til I cry episodes Rex? Well guess what?

The perfect movie line for this situation is,

"Once again that oaf has destroyed my day!"

Lol. Well Rex has C & D correct. B and E are opinion. Someone American needs to "step up to the plate" and answer Question A.

Dolly Parton.... *trying desperately not to form a mental image... no!...*

Dammit Rex. You've gone and tacked on at least one additional therapy session for me.

A. Yes, you didn't specify one pitcher so there are at least 6 men up in an inning.

B. Fall, beautiful trees, nice temperature - summer heat is gone.

C. Burma, Ceylon, and Rhodesia

D. 60 You knew we would get that one.

E. No one is that ugly.

Hey, good solution to A, ByteDoc. Thinking outside the box.

I was thinking of a passed ball 3rd strike, where the batter swings and misses, thus striking out, but the ball get away from the catcher and the batter makes it to 1st safely on the passed ball. A single pitcher could strikeout an indefinite number of batters that way, theoretically, though I checked and no one's ever recorded more than 4 strikeouts in an inning.

And yes, I deliberately dropped this question in so that our Anglo-Saxon-Norman friends could not win.

Metamatician said...

Oh, and Rex is right about Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and Zimbabwe of course. What were you thinking, this was still WW2? WW1? Earlier?

We might as well still be the Colonial States of America then.

Hell, why not just call the whole world Pangaea and be done with it!

A no idea
B Spring - every comes alive after a dreary winter.
C Showing my ignorance: Cambodia, Sri Lanka, and Sudan?
D 60
E Sally Fields

No funny answers and no cheating either.

Good try, Empath. (A) Has been answered two different ways, (B) You're wrong, Spring isn't your favorite season....just kidding, (C) Has been answered correctly by Rex but good stab at it anyway, you were in the right geographical areas, (D) Everyone's gotten this one right, you're all too smart, and (E) Sally Fields is a good answer, I expected you to say Natalie Wood since you two were spittin' images (how can an image spit anyway? and why would it want to?).

For me:
A. Answered.

B. Summer or Fall. Summer because of baseball and laying out at the pool, Fall for the atmosphere, the color in the trees, and the hint of chill cooling the days off that seems somehow romantic and haunting. I can't choose between the two.

C. Answered.

D. Answered.

E. Ed Norton for a young me, Alan Rickman for an older me. Not because I look anything like them, they're just some of my favorite actors and I think could do my humor, voice, quirkiness, etc. subtly and well. And look even better doing it.
