Monday's Thirteen: Episode Eight
Apr. 7th, 2008 06:32 amWelcome to Monday's Thirteen, the movie quote guessing game.
Answers will be screened. Those who guess correctly will have their name listed with the quote as soon as I can. More than one person can claim a quote, so the movie's name won't be revealled until the weekend game-end.
On Wednesday, some additional hints will be posted for leftover Double Quotes (two-week veterans of the game). Any surviving Triple Quotes will get their hint from the prior week sorted out and matched up. Fridays will see any unguessed Triple Quotes matched with another quote.
Anything that makes it to four weeksis probably too difficult for you all to guess is a real challenge. It will be elevated to Sudden Death status - the first correct guess gets the credit for it, and, unlike earlier stages of the game, subsequent guesses just don't count for squat. Instead of waiting for the weekend, I'll expose the winners *and the movies* for Sudden Death quotes as soon as I can. Sudden Death quotes will also get the benefit of an extra quote Tuesday through Friday in an attempt to get rid of them and make room for something easier that you folks can handle new.
Enjoy!

8. It sounds like something I've heard, but I don't know where.
9. I know I've heard this before in many similar forms because it's what the dinner theater comics tend to say when they come off stage and many comics lampoon it. I couldn't tell you where this particular version is from though.
13. I don't know of any movie that uses this personally, but since it's a common nursery rhyme/song I'd imagine that it's in more than one movie. (Yes, I saw your Top Sekrit Message, and you may be right there's only one, but it just seems like it would be in more than one.)
