Aping Jon’s format for this part, because it only makes sense. Please note my new little fun part

*******************************************************
The Rules --- Please Read!
1. A player may answer one question per update. If a player correctly answers more than one, he or she will be credited with the lowest-point question correctly answered (and any other answers will be up for grabs). NEW TWIST – I will occasionally include a bonus question just for fun. You can answer this along with your main answer.

2. If two or more people correctly answer a question and their posts have the exact same timestamp, they'll both get full credit for it.

3. An edit time counts as the time an answer was posted, so be sure to be careful when editing a post.

4. I screw up the scores sometimes, so just tell me if I didn't award you points when I should have (or otherwise messed up), and I'll fix it ASAP. And I don't have any set time when I update this; I just do it whenever I have time to.

5. Have fun. =)

...and before I forget...

Thanks for cranking this thing up again, CP! After the first two round you'll have large shoes to fill, however...but I'm sure you knew the job was dangerous when you took it. Wink

I like the new Bonus Question twist! (The BQ should always be at least twice as difficult as the highest-point regular question, IMO.) That's a useful enhancement! If nothing else, the BQ gives folks who miss an update or two a chance to catch up.

Clarification: Can one JUST answer the BQ or must one ALSO answer a regular question...correctly?

(I miss Phil Hartman & feel that the ongoing quality of Simpsons episodes was somehow significantly impaired following his demise. Seriously, I've been a Simpsons fan since Day 1. I've aged right along with the Simpsons franchise, and some of my tastes have changed, of course...but I have to think back quite a ways to remember when watching every new episode was a MUST DO on Sunday nights. YMMV but I just don't find Homer's zany antics to be quite so amusing anymore. Maybe his reactions have just become too predictable?)

You can answer a regular and bonus quesiton, or just one or the other. The Bonus Question is always going to be something personal about me that no one here should be able to answer so I'm mostly doing it to see the interesting guesses. Smile

I laughed that you went with such obscure characters in Mr. Muntz and Fat Tony over Lyle Lanley. And yes I miss Phil a lot. I've found if you ever need a pick-me-up, watch season 4 of the Simpsons. No matter how many times you've seen the episodes you will still laugh loud and hard.

I was thinking Inhumanoids or Robotech...I was preoccupied with grad school in those days, but think I used to own some of these E-Frames. Too bad I sold them all. They were kinda cool...I think I had this green one, too!

Even with your hint, I'm not sure I can recall the pilot's name, if that's required...sorry...something European sounding...I wanna say Alex D'Leon?
