Playground Squares XI: And here we go again!

[Grue Bait]

Grar! They look so danged alike! Two brown fuzzy creatures, each with a feathered cap and sword!

If I ever get over to a Trogland meetup, I'm bringing swords and they're going to fight to the death to stop future confusion!

[Philistine]

Silly Grue Bait, we don't fight to the death with swords! We nuke it from orbit - it's the only way to be sure.

[super dark33]

Reserve me the bottom left square next game!

[smellie_hippie]

Silly Grue Bait, we don't fight to the death with swords! We nuke it from orbit - it's the only way to be sure.

Your brother tends to nuke from 12-15 paces with a KUBB stick... to be sure.

However, there is a game to be played. I shall choose the kitteh and a T. Don't steer me wrong! (Reinholdt)

You've found the Daily Double!!

In 2008, Disney finally rectified a long over due blemish on their part. They finally gave the true star of Peter Pan her very own movie, Tinker Bell (Mae Whitman)!!

With this wonderful movie, we get to see the world of Pixie Hollow, and how this fabulous pixie lived before than rotten elfin boy stole her away. (Can anyone tell I don't like Peter Pan? )

Anyway, the question I give to Reinholdt to answer involves a runaway cart, a mouse named Cheese, and sprinting thistles.

After the accident, and Fawn (America Ferrera) and Silvermist (Lucy Liu) have calmed down their respective patients, Rosetta (Kristin Chenoweth) & Iridessa (Raven Simoné) come floating to the scene.

Reinholdt, what name does Rosetta call Tinker Bell when she lifts her up?

[Reinholdt]

Well I only know this cause you made me watch it way back at De's wedding, but she called Tinker Bell Sugar Cane because she was so sweet.

[smellie_hippie]

I don't recall you watching that movie at De's wedding... And you seem a little too damn sure of yourself. Crap.

Oh well, can't lose for a wrong answer... AGREE.

Sugar Cane was indeed the name Rosetta chose to call Tinkerbell upon their first meeting.

Philistine, you get the luck of having new categories to choose from.

And the Categories are:

Heh. You're right, I didn't watch it at De's wedding.

[Philistine]

(Something clever.)

Elemental. Tom Baker.

[Elemental]

Excellent decision.
But, knowing my luck, it likely won't involve his portrayal of that scarf wearing individual from Gallifrey.
Whatever his name was. Doctor something...

[Lex-Kat]

Well, it'll kinda involve the scarf-wearing Doctor.

After Sarah Jane (Elisabeth Sladen) left the show in 1976, and after the non-companion episode The Deadly Assassin, we are introduced to the Doctor's newest TARDIS traveller (and my personal favorite), Leela (Louise Jameson).

We first meet Leela on an unnamed planet, being exiled from her tribe, the Seveteem. Unlike most companions, Leela rarely needs to be rescued by the Doctor, instead relying on her own wits to get herself out of trouble. And never do you hear her scream. Well, almost never.

In only one episode do you find this exception, Elemental, which story do we hear the brave warrior scream like Susan (Carole Ann Ford)?

[Elemental]

That's a good question Lex-Kat. And I do believe I may actually know the answer as it was on television recently.

It was The Talons of Weng-Chiang, if I remember correctly.

[Philistine]

Well, the good news is that it doesn't matter if I get this one wrong; Hippie wins if he gets the next one right no matter what happens here. The bad news is that I don't know if "The Talons of Weng-Chiang" is even a real title, much less whether it might be a serial that featured Four and Leela. The balance of probabilities suggests that I should Disagree; just to spite it, I'm going to Agree.

I guess sometimes it is a good thing to be spiteful.

It's one of the best Tom Baker episodes. It's beautiful.

[smellie_hippie]

Alright Helgraf.... let's check out Jon Pertwee.

Gotta wrap this up in the next few weeks.

[mangosta71]

Hurry it up. I need to practice my bluffing for the live game in JC.

[Helgraf]

Grarrrrarg

[Lex-Kat]

The Third Doctor, known as the more action oriented Doctor. He battled his foes with karate kicks, chops, and flips. He once even killed an Ogron without provocation.

He drove a vintage car named Betsy, a street legal flying car, and a tryke, flew a mini-helicopter, piloted a speed boat, and likely other vehicles I can't recall at the moment.

But the third doctor was special in one other way. Besides the first Doctor, he's the only Doctor of the first seven not to inherit his companion(s) from the previous incarnation.

Helgraf, what was the name of the actress to play his first companion, Liz Shaw?

Well, we have come full circle now haven't we?

Her name was Caroline John.

[smellie_hippie]

Don't know.
Sounded confident.

Good game Contestants. You both did wonderful. Again, sorry for the delays.

So, who wants to take over for the next round? I need to prepare questions for the live game at the Trogland Meet-up.

We need 2 new Contestants and 9 new Squares.

It has been pointed out to me that posting to be on the waiting list may discourage new players from joining. So I ask that the Current Squares and Contestants wait 24 hours before posting their interest to be in the next game. Thank you.

I'll contest.

[Helgraf]

24 hours have passed. Requesting square.

[Penguinator]

I'll just sit in the corner... (square, that is)

[Elemental]

Squares are good.
If I get one, I think I'll decorate it with some curtains...

[TFT]

I will take a square if they haven't been secretly taken or something.

[mangosta71]

I'm in for a square.
