MM & KM Links December 2007 [Week 1]

[crofter]

This will be the first week in the reign of Queen Kay and she has been working very hard to acquire the IT skills to fulfil her royal duties tomorrow. However, one thing that she is strong at is in her selection of creative themes. Tomorrow's game looks like being "lively"!

I expect great activity from those miscreants lurking in the Shrubbery. For the first week you can only go with your gut instinct and hope for the best! Recall last week I put my money on evsajo, so I can usually smell victory ~ but only after a couple of weeks' results!

I'll be standing by from about 8.30 in the morning, just in case! The MM Link Game should be launched by Queen Kay, who will set her four words to be linked at 9.00am.

The international version of this same game is called KM Links and kicks off at the unearthly hour of about 06.30am! Look out for seekeerz from Oz who provides the tucker (eyeball*, te*ticles and peni*es according to "I'm a Celebrity"). Suddenly, marmite sarnies and tinnies doesn't sound too bad! Seriously, seekeerz does a fantastic job keeping scores for that parallel game.

"Ta*ty te*ticles" is an example of a DOUBLE DECKER! "What's one of those"?
You'll soon be wishing that you never asked!

I hate pictures too. At least with questions you can try and google, but with pics if you have no idea you are totally stumped.
I might be being a little bit stupid here, but whare are snack i jacks?

Magyar Snack a Jacks are like crisps but they're made of corn and there are different flavours and my all time favourites are caramel. My daughter says they are like polystyrene but I love them and because I have Coeliac disease they are safe for me to eat!!!!
I do like quizzes that are a challenge but at the moment I need something light and also eldest daughter is brilliant at pictures!!!

[paulineward]

Told you they were Kay's favourite!

Before I go to bed I'll just add that I too dislike photo/picture recognition quizzes as you cannot Google those you don't know. Not too keen on GK ones either - You either know them or you dont and if you don't, it is usualy just a case of googling to get the answer. I much prefer something to stretch the brain cells - something to work out like Dingbats or Cryptics. Must admit though that I sometimes get frustrated trying to work some of them out and I'm still struggling with the last two in Crofter's (Pauline's) Quiz.
No doubt I'll kick myself when I realise what I've missed.

I love the cheese ones, but you can't get them here. I'm not very good at describing these things, but they're made out of corn with added flavouring and I like the giant ones - hamburger size and shape.

Sorry Just off the phone so missed all the goings on here tonight - I'm off to bed now.

I won't be around next week, as I will be in London with my son for the night, before flying off to Canada to spend Christmas with my daughter. But I may be around the following week................but just in case I can't - Happy Christmas to you all.

Night all.

[Magyar]

Now I know what they are. A woman I used to work with has coeliac disease too and I've tried them myself. I think they might have been cheese flavour.

Have you tried my quiz gen2? There are some cryptic clues in the last section which seem to be testing a few people (and only a few GK questions) and a section on ditloids too.

[Christiana]

I'm off to bed too. My dad taught me to do cryptics and they're still my favourites. I get very obstinate with them and just keep worrying away at the clues until I get them. I have to limit myself or I'd spend all my time on them and be thoroughly anti-social.
Anyway, goodnight all - Don't travel too much farther or you'll never get back to the shrubbery in time.

[paulineward]

Jools...you have a lovely time...will no doubt speak before you go!!

Don't forget all your quiz sheets!!! .....I don't think!!

Christiania...I like the caramel and cheese ones, but caramel just win it!

gen2 ...you've got time yet...I'll bet you get them before I get yours!

[paulineward]

Goodnight Christiania...by the way...I think I forgot to thank you for your kind donation to the Dragonfly quiz...so sorry Christiania...many many thanks anyway...you are really kind!

[Magyar]

Looks like it's an early night for me too. Goodnight all, must try and get logged on early for Queen Kay's links. Hope everything goes well.

[paulineward]

Goodnight Magyar...will be going myself shortly! Need to be up early!!

[evsajo]

Just tried to refresh and lost connection. Think it's time for bed but I wish I hadn't mentioned the quiz!! I feel quite inferior with my inability to do cryptic quizzes!!!!!
Goodnight all, see you in the morning (fingers crossed)
