  15. Dude, I searched the blog for an hour and I can't find the specific lesbian quote. I know Mr. NN put some qualifiers in front of it. But I don't think its fair to lock it up for me. The closest I could come is this:
    http://nonnynu.blogspot.com/2007/06/sopranos-what-load-of-crap-spoiler.html#comment-3324096021492804570

    I say open it back up to sluggy.

  19. MFU declined the lock-up.

    el bastardo said...
    neat pics (although it'd be nice to occasionally see an actual human face, ass freak). while they really do remind me just how nice the day was, the full story remains untold. first, that caterpillar isn't gonna bite you! pick it up and pet it. second, stillman and i saw--and i kid you not--wild forest lesbians. i couldn't believe it! i was gonna stop and talk with them (purely for research) when out of nowhere a kwisatz haderach voice demands, "keep walking, pie-hole shut, head down." thank goodness stillman was there to snap me out of it (hard kick to the pant-seat), but by the time i realized what had happened we were down the happy trail.

  20. I'm talking location and/or activity. In other words, what was Mr. Nonny Nu doing when he developed a desire to research these lesbians?

    ReplyDelete
  21. [although I disagree with el bastardo's account. I recall alerting EB to my sighting of the wild forest lesbians and sharing his desire to track and observe them. However, we mutually agreed that NN would not go for this and she appeared to be making her way through the brambles toward us after a prolonged photo stop.]

  24. is what sluggy says true, el bastardo!

  25. Whoa, Nellie. A question becomes locked/unlocked when I lock/unlock it. Not when the contestant declines/accepts/states an answer sufficient for a lock. For example, this is why the question was not locked for Cl. Panic yesterday even though I thought his answer was sufficient to lock it.

    Alright, history will be repeating itself today. The points will be split Solomon-style between Man from U.N.C.L.E. and sluggy. Snakeye?

    Oh, I see that Snakeye has taken the proactive approach.

    Hey, people, we are not pinko-commies here! Censorship and expression is only curtailed for privacy purposes (but let's let sleeping dogs lie today). You should have taken advantage of those wild forest lesbians (wait, did I just say that?) when you had the chance! Knowing my habits, there was a high probability that I would be stuck in yet another photo stop on my way towards you guys...

  30. Does anyone else think that, unless you are a TWoNN citizen, these questions and answers would be completely ridiculous? I was just reading through the questions from before, and it seems that nothing seems to be logical or rational about the answers.

    ReplyDelete
  31. A question becomes locked/unlocked when I lock/unlock it.

    Uh, that is not right. If a contestant gives up and publicly defers to another, that should open season, you little control freak. I will only share my points with MFU because he was able to identify lesbians in the first place.

  32. Does anyone else think that, unless you are a TWoNN citizen, these questions and answers would be completely ridiculous? I was just reading through the questions from before, and it seems that nothing seems to be logical or rational about the answers.

    You incorrectly assume your questions are crystal clear to TWoNN citizens. They are vague enough to permit multiple technically correct answers that are then summarily rejected because they're not what you happen to be thinking of.

    Pttth.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Uh, that is not right. If a contestant gives up and publicly defers to another, that should open season, you little [sweetheart].
    The problem with this is that the questions asked are not necessarily searcheable. And, a person may remember what the answer was about but fail to pinpoint it on the blog and therefore cannot give more specific details. That's why I asked for the location/activity of Mr. Nonny Nu because that relates to the "wild forest" part of the answer.

    technically correct answers that are then summarily rejected because they're not what you happen to be thinking of
    Actually, no, they are not summarily rejected. For example, you got credit for the "Cotton Doggie" answer, even though I was really thinking of Lola, Coach Nelson's doggie. When I reject an answer, it is because there is something about it that doesn't fit the question.

    ReplyDelete
  34. P.S. Another reason not to allow a contestant to give up the question to someone else is to prevent "teaming up." If Man from U.N.C.L.E. had deferred to Cl. Panic, then we would have a problem, right?

    ReplyDelete
  35. P.P.S. This also prevents deliberate point transference (e.g., Cl. Panic gives an answer sufficient to lock the question and then always defers to Man from U.N.C.L.E.).

    ReplyDelete
  36. [sweetheart]
    Ha! That was so pinko-commie of me!! sluggy really said, "control freak," which is totally accurate!

    ReplyDelete
  37. P.S. Another reason not to allow a contestant to give up the question to someone else

    Yes, the little control freak will not allow a contestant to determine to whom they defer points or a question, we know. I simply respected MFU's decision to give up on the question, and would not have argued that it was specifically locked for me to answer. In fact, I went ahead and answered before control freak could chime in because I could see Panic jumping in and later being awarded points.

  38. Love means never having to say, "I'm sorry."

  43. How many schools did Nonny Nu attend before high school?

    Three mentioned in ditching post:
    Highlands (1-2 grade)
    New School dist with MP (3 grade)
    Jr. High

    Jr. High is usually 7-9 so you may have gone to a middle school for 4-6, I can't find this specifically on the blog. That would make 4.

    You also acknowledge re SS Sociopath that Google is like kindergarten so this would add another school for 4 or even 5.

    I guess I will say 4.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Have I mentioned that Slug, Sluggy & Slugger LLP offers bacon with breakfast twice a week? I am eating a big stack of oink right now. :)

    ReplyDelete
  45. are you withholding questions cause panic's on a plane?

    ReplyDelete
  46. 4 is correct, sluggy!

    And, no, I wasn't withholding questions today--I was working all morning until now! But, I did withhold questions last night, however, when you said you were too sick to play...hmph!

    ReplyDelete
  47. ha! I dragged my sick self to the computer several times too just in case, a la panic. :)

  48. Question 93: What did MonkeyPig call Nonny Nu to remind her of her place in their family?

    six

    ReplyDelete
  49. "little Nonny Nu"

    http://nonnynu.blogspot.com/2007/04/more-everglades.html

    ReplyDelete
  50. Okay, now you're guessing, because MonkeyPig doesn't even know the word "runt." But, here's a hint:

    When she used the phrase, she specifically said that I shouldn't forget where I stood in the family.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Sluggy, aren't these non-searchable questions a huge challenge?

    ReplyDelete
  52. yeah, I probably spent a couple hours total looking for the answer. How much more blood does she want?

    ReplyDelete
  53. Hey..Last time I checked, you were #6. Remember your rank...Tiny Nu.
    You two guess like those newbies at the Nu residence.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Hey..Last time I checked, you were #6. Remember your rank...Tiny Nu.

    Ah yes, I should have affiliated "Tiny" with you.

  55. Man from U.N.C.L.E. said...
    Hard to get blood from a stone.


    Ouchie.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Last time I checked, you were #6.

    Hold on! She called you #6 as well as Tiny Nu! I should get credit for "six"!

    ReplyDelete
  57. Sushi is correct! Welcome to the scoreboard!! Snakeye...?

    Hard to get blood from a stone.
    I'll take that as a compliment!

    ReplyDelete
  58. Hold on! She called you #6 as well as Tiny Nu! I should get credit for "six"!
    Geez, does anything pass here with you objecting? No, she didn't call me six. She said I was ranked six and she called me "Tiny Nu." Sorry, but no cigar, Monica.

    Awww, don't be scared, kitty. That's Auntie sluggy's way of saying, "I wuv you!"

  64. Question 94: Supposedly, how long does the effect of the caffeine in coffee last?

    the lift lasts only about two hours

    Funny that MFU, NN and sluggy each thought they were the stone!

    ReplyDelete
  66. by the way, I found this comment from NN explaining the basis for why she hates only women even though men do the same things:

    I'm specifically shamelisting dumb broads. BROADS!! They are the ones giving me a bad name. The dumb dudes aren't, and they are therefore off my radar.

  69. Your bonus question pic link doesn't work. I get a "forbidden" message when I click it. Is it to something perverted from Rev. Dr. Terry Valentine?

    ReplyDelete
  70. It's not perverted, but I can't say it's good for your eyes. I've fixed it.

    ReplyDelete
  71. MP called NN "意外發生"
    No, but she did tell me that I was found in a trash can.
