A Hollyhock is a type of what?
A. Bird
B. Flower
C. Evergreen Tree
D. Spice

Alrighty then. Now they're getting a bit harder.

I can eliminate Bird and Spice right away. I think Evergreen Tree is a distractor, because of the Xmas-related plant, Holly, which is a dark green. Is it an evergreen? But "hollyhock" is not "holly" anyway.

I will go with B. Flower, Final Answer.

You are correct, and they are supposed to get harder.

Let's see...

We can eliminate B and D, leaving us with either the Superman- or Batman-related names for the fictionalized NYC.

In the latest Batman movie with Christian Bale, one of the bad guys worked as a doctor [there is the doctor connection again] in an asylum.

I will go with C. Gotham City, Final Answer

Brilliant deduction And a correct one

Good distractors on this one, but I know it cold.

In high school (1982) I played a game called "Killer", in which we pretended to be spies and to kill each other with plastic dart guns, etc. One way of killing another spy was to get three people together, along with the victim, in a 3rd story (or higher) room and say, "We are throwing you out of the window." This was death by defenestration.

Also, "das Fenster" is German for window. I knew those 3 years weren't wasted!

C. Threw it out the window, Final Answer

You are correct, and my distractors are cleaver but your just too smart

Warning...Warning....Warning! Way out of the wheelhouse on this one.

I don't think it can be "Sicko" since it couldn't have yet been given an Oscar. But I don't recall any of the other three getting an Oscar [not that I was paying attention].

Ask the Audience

No problem, audience using your keyboard using A, B, C or D vote now

Well, since he asked...

Don't you remember his acceptance speech when he talked about the "fictional president" and got some people upset?

It's "Bowling for Columbine."

I just checked, and there are only 4 people currently logged-in.

So there is me, and Julie, and our host (Shade), and only one other person.

This is cool. It's like two Phone-A-Friends!

I will go with B. Bowling for Columbine, Final Answer.

voting using A, B, C or D doesn't usually invovle commentary but I'll allow it because you are probably the only one who is going to vote.

Yes, you are correct

Whoa! This is embarassing; never heard of it.

However, there is at least one answer choice that I am pretty sure it is not.

Let's burn the 50:50

I always have fun playing host, and Jeff is doing very well. I just wish I could play the contestant for once

Ok, Distiller is installed.

You might talk someone into hosting for you and you could email the questions to them. I think it's been done before. You might look into that.

Ahah! That worked according to my evil plan [See "Evil Spock (to the left)]!

I have never heard of an "ophiuchus" as a body part, and I know most of them pretty well. The closest this gets to something I know is "omph", meaning related to the umbilicus...but there is no letter "m" in it.

Thus, I will go with B. The name of a Constellation, Final Answer.

Check that....you can't play a game you when you wrote the questions....
so maybe someone will do some questions for you too.
