here's one

[Cerlayne]

okies.. this isn't anything great but curious how many pondered it like i did before figuring it out...

think of words ending in -GRY. angry and hungry are two of them. there are three words in the english language. what is the third word? the word is something that everyone uses every day. if you have listened carefully i have already told you what it is.

[dracul]

ok try this one:

Different lights do make me strange, thus into different sizes I will change.

[Scarlet oHorror]

Oh you people. Ok here is one and this is just trivia.

Everyone knows the TV show Gilligan's Island....or if not it is in syndication.

What was the name of the character known on the show as The Skipper?

[DaveStrorm]

Jonas Grumby

What about The Professor?

[Pybob]

<font color=440066>We all know Gilligan's Island do we? And if we don't we can always catch it on syndication...

I hate to tell you this, but not everybody does, nor does everybody have syndication...

I don't want to sound cheeky, but can you try to be more international with your Qs? That way we get to have fun all over the world... http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/wink.gif</font>

[Canker]

Gee sorry Pybob...who urinated in your Cheerios???? *L* God lighten up my vampire friend. :)

[Ehlana]

Well, we all know The Young Ones, don't we, Canker? (heh Pybob http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/wink.gif )

Who was the 'hippie' in the group?

[dracul]

pupil was the right answer Shaithis.

Ehlana do you want to hear 'Neil' or do I have to give you the name of the actor.

[Scarlet oHorror]

ooooooooohhhhhhhhhh pupil.......cool......i like that one.......

and erm gilligans island?........
i have to agree with Pybob.....don't know it.....i have heard of it, but i never watched it.........

and Neil is the only one i don't know his real name........

ok heres one.......
Using the chemical symbols, what sort of bird can u make out of fluorine, indium, carbon and hydrogen?

later.....

[DaveStrorm]

Hmmm . . . How about 'finch'? I am guessing that Indium (have no idea really) is In, because I have F, C, H for the others and In seems to fit nicely in there.

[Scarlet oHorror]

Dave........

absolutely correct, now, since you're still a thrall until your 30th post.....you don't get the prize of a whole trog to feast on......
next time you will........hehehe

~*Death...is only the beginning*~

[DaveStrorm]

Well, if not the whole trog, what part(s) do I get? http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/smile.gif

OK, here's a question . . . What word, by itself, can be used as 5 different parts of speech? And when combined with 'as' can be used as an additional 2 different parts of speech?

I'm going out on a limb here because, for all I know, there may be more than one answer. I guess we will find out. http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/smile.gif

[Pybob]

<font color=440066>I'm not totally sure if I've understood the question properly, but the word that immediately comes to mind is SO.

Since it can be used as an adjective - I would never tell you if it wasn't so...
As a conjuctive - I left early so I wouldn't see you...
As a noun (musical sense) - do re me fa so la ti do...
As a pronoun - It was fun when I first started coming to BL.com and has remained so...
As an exclamation - So! You finally found us then?

Since I've probably misunderstood the question I'll stop there... http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/smile.gif</font>

[DaveStrorm]

Pybob,

Well, that's why I went out on a limb. My word is not 'so', although as you have correctly shown, 'so' can also be used as 5 different parts of speech. However, the correct answer must also meet the 2nd part of my stated criteria (And when combined with 'as' can be used as an additional 2 different parts of speech?). If you can show that with 'so', then I guess I'll concede. http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/smile.gif

[Pybob]

<font color=440066>DaveStrorm, just off the top of my head (again!), I can only think of one use in the way you've stated...

As a preposition - So as I was saying...

Give me a bit to see if I can think of another or of a different word, but I'm sure that it is a ridiculously common one... something like 'Do'... http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/smile.gif</font>

[Ehlana]

...or perhaps more along the lines of,

"So as not to upset any of the Ladies, dracul, Davestrorm and Lord Shaithis finally posted some pictures"

[Ehlana]

Yes, dracul, Neil was the hippie in <u>The Young Ones</u>, now what was the name of the actor that played Neil http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/wink.gif and what were the names of the other 4 characters?

Hmmmm I've just had an idea... American TV trivia vs. Brit TV trivia, only the Americans have to answer the Brit trivia and vice versa. Us Canadians, however, are allowed only to giggle on the sidelines.... hmmm... http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

[Moth]

Gilligan's Island?? Whats That?

I know the Young Ones Though http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/smile.gif Ahh those were the days.. http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/smile.gif

Nigel Planer Played Neil Ehlana http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/wink.gif

[dracul]

Nigel planer, that was the one! Then there are:

Rick or Richie - Rick Mayall
Mike - ?
Vivian - Adrian Edmundson

I don't know if I spelled the names correct but what the h3ll, you know who I mean http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/wink.gif

Ehlana, I've got a great picture of myself if I only had the time to scan it http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

[Emaleth]

<font color="770000">LMAO!! Ehlana, that was a classic! I see though that they still are teasing us...not nice to do that fellas!</font color>

[dracul]

Oke ARTEMIS!, you've picked my favourite.

BOTTOM

Eddie: What's this
Richie: Elm tea, the gypsies swear by it
Eddie: I'll bet they bloody do!

[dracul]

I can not be seen only heard and I will not speak unless spoken to

Did we have this one before? If not, solve it! http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/smile.gif

[Daxx]

dracul the answer is an echo. I don't know if has been posted before but it is a good one.

[dracul]

Daxx, you're right http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/smile.gif

ARTEMIS, he played the landlord but I can't remember his name (Something like Benito?)

[dracul]

Woah ARTEMIS, you've got me confused here http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/smile.gif Are we talking about BOTTOM (as I mentioned in an earlier post) or the show Alexie Sayle played in?

[Jeffistopheles]

Bottom was a show with Rik and Adrien. I think the one you might be thinking of is called The Dangerous Brothers.

[Ehlana]

Artemis, either Bottom as has already been mentioned, that's the one I thought you meant... or how about Filthy Rich and Catflap?

[dracul]

I'm glad somebody knows Bottom, I thought I was going paranoid and started to imagine things *sticks two pencils in his nose and puts some knickers on his head*

So I answered your question correctly ARTEMIS http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/tongue.gif
