This thread might be the redheaded stepchild of the Tournament quality WC subjects thread to some. But, how about we take it to the next level and see how well you might fare with what may well be a tournament quality winner's circle. The difference is that I ask that you play along. Instead of giving the box, we'll treat it like I'm the giver and you are to name the subject. I'll give 2-3 clues per subject, and we'll see how well you can identify the subjects I'm attempting to list. Good luck to all, and let's have some fun, eh?
Here is your first subject...GO!
50 - Your nails, your food, your lip
100 - Hi, I'm the first person you see at an apartment or hotel complex. I'm the one in a suit who greets you at the front of the building and shows you to the receptionist.
150 - Phillie Phanatic, San Diego Chicken, Mr. Met
200 - A Fighter's Eyes, The Pilsbury Doughboy
250 - A five overtime hockey game, 1980s Coca-Cola
300 - Gilligan's crew, Hurricane-ravaged individuals
If needed more clues to come...answers will follow not long after.
-
For 50 - Things you bite.
For 100 - "what the bellboy would say"
For 150 - Famous Mascots
For 200 - Things you poke
For 250 - Things that are classic
For 300 - Stranded people.
How'd I do?
The Inquisitive One
-
I'll disclose some info. on that after a few others try their luck.

The only one I'd change would be the 100, to "What A Doorman Might Say."
Which means I'm wrong about everything else as well. :)

No, it's actually what Larry Anderson said after Trivia Track/The Big Spin...wow, I'm lame.

I wanna try my hand...let's see if this will surpass the Millionaire questions thread. :-)
Hope this is a decent mix:
$50: The editorials, the entertainment section, the classifieds
$100: "I'm filled with sand, and boxers like to hit me while they train..."
$150: Stein, Goldberg, Cohen
$200: your excited heart, track runners, stock car drivers
$250: Because you're not satisfied with the service...because you don't like your gift...
$300: A mental patient, married couples, crimes

Things that are committed, but *BZZZZT* on your second clue.

Kevin got 5 of 6 (the $150 one is wrong)...I changed a clue on the $300 after I realized it was a prep. phrase.

Jewish surnames?
-
Correct.

[quote name=\'fostergray82\' date=\'Jan 22 2006, 02:26 PM\']Correct.

That'll get you some phone calls. :)

Call it COMMON JEWISH SURNAMES.
On the DISPLACED category, I had a refinement of a clue: Archimedes' bathtub water. (I hope I have the right guy.)

Chris wins. To everybody else--thanks for playing. You can get a copy of the home game on your way out.
That damn song's gonna play in my head all night long...

But I don't get the joke!!!11!! This thread will not continue until someone explains it dammit!
Seriously, Jason pretty much nailed them...I was thinking "Things that are Imaginary" for the $300, but close enough.
-
Hopefully, the $250 was WHY YOU USE A MIRROR, or [bzzzzz|burble]. (Not that "why you look in a mirror" wouldn't count as right.)
