Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 31 May 2015

Seven FIFA officials were arrested last week for corruption.

It is quite likely that they won’t be working in international football again.  But during their tenure they have picked up valuable skills in deception, chicanery, and backstabbing.

So this week we’re asking you to help them find a new career.

If your team name is your suggestion for a new career for the FIFA Seven, you will get a bonus point.

Interesting Question of the Day – 27 May 2015

This is a review of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory as hypothetically written by which famous author?

“An excellent movie. Unfit individuals are winnowed out through a series of entrepreneurial tests and, in the end, an enterprising young boy receives a factory. Three and a half stars. (Half a star off for the grandparents, who are sponging off the labor of others. If Grandpa Joe can dance, Grandpa Joe can work.)

The first new player to comment with the correct answer will win a free drink at their next iQ Trivia show.

Team Name Bonus Point

Trigger warnings have been in the news a lot recently.

This week, to protect people from uncomfortable thoughts, we are asking you to come up with trigger warnings for children’s literature and nursery rhymes.

Examples may include:

The Itsy Bitsy Spider – May be triggering for arachnophobes and people who don’t like rain.

Where the Wild Things Are – Contains a boy missing a meal.  May be triggering to anorexics.

How The Grinch Stole Christmas – May be triggering for people who hearts grow three sizes one day.

Anything that warns people about the potentially offensive nature of children’s literature will get a bonus point.

TriviART – Thrusting Llama

There were some excellent entries in the TriviArt contest yesterday, with many interesting takes on the theme of “Thrusting Llama”

“A little bit lust came” went for a decidedly space oriented interpretation of a llama using thrusters on a spacecraft rather than the obvious sexual angle.

“Lusty Trombones” doubled up on the theme, with a thrusting lama riding a thrusting llama.  (Who knew those Buddhist monks were so good at jousting?)

But for sheer commitment to the theme and attention to detail, it’s hard to look past “hit me with your best sloth” and their llama themed pornography.  (Whether the pic below is NSFW depends on the prevailing attitudes where you work.)

If you’re sufficiently interested, their mock up film is called “The Emperor’s New Shlong” starring Lance Hardwood and Fanny Deep.  The synopsis is as follows.

“The emperor thought things were going well, until his busty sex-ond in charge turned his schlong into a llama with an insatiable lust for barely legal babes.  Now the only way to turn it back is with the wildest sex you’ll ever see on VHS!”

They came up with all of that during the halftime break.

Well done.
