Kangaroo! - A sheep game unlike any other Reveal!

Rikand

Welcome to the reveal thread for Kangaroo!!!



A reminder of the game

Kangaroo is like sheep except your answers have to be factually wrong. If I ask for a comedy movie starring Tom Hanks then you could answer:

Cast Away (not a comedy)
Old School (not starring Tom Hanks)
Bosom Buddies (Not a movie)

you could also answer anything random like "Banana" or even "****er"

but the aim of the game is the same as sheep where you want to match others. This means answers like the first 3 are probably better than a totally random answer.

Anything that is correct scores 0 for the question.

Highest score wins.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask

Questions::

1. Name a roman numeral
2. Name a song by Taylor Swift
3. Name a sport played with a ball
4. Name a boards.ie forum moderator
5. Name an action movie starring Jason Statham
6. Name a popular ice-cream flavour
7. Name an alcoholic drink
8. Name a letter of the alphabet

Reveal kicking off in about 30 minutes I hope

Rikand

I'm currently furiously googling 48 different songs for taylor swift to make sure that she hasnt sang any of them

HeidiHeidi

Not sure if I'll be able to catch the reveal as it happens, but I'm absolutely dying to see the outcome of this one!

Never considered she might have done a cover version!!! Yikes!

You mean no duplicates?

My Taylor Swift submission is apparently the title of a real song, which I did not know when submitting! :eek: Thankfully it's not a song by her but I swear, she better not have covered it.....

So you decided to go for "not a song", rather than "a song, not by Taylor Swift"?
One of us is very wrong!

cee_jay

While Taylor has performed songs by others, I dont think she has ever released one. So I hope performances dont count as that is not a Taylor song!!

I took an actual song by her and very cleverly (or so I thought) changed one of the words.
I'm sensing nobody else took that approach now.....

I bet Rikand regrets writing that question now though; upon reviewing the submissions I hear that he sighed and said.....


......wait for it......


......he said "I Knew You Were Trouble".




:pac:

Oh crap, you said "Shake It Out" didn't you??
I was going to and changed my mind

I have no idea what I sent in as I did my answers in 2.5 mins and submitted at 17:59.
I expect to be amazed when I see some of my answers.:D

I hope she sang the song I sent in, even though that means I'd get no points, she'd do a great cover of it

That's what I did (ish), slightly changed one of her actual song titles.

Never crossed my mind to just say she never sang a song called The Blue Warlock Elephant or something by Ariana Grande or some other young pop starlet. I figured at least there is a slim chance someone might have the same idea.

sullivlo

I can't figure where I got my answer from. Only thing I can think is I heard it on the radio or something.

KathleenGrant

I am just realising some of you had a strategy. I am impressed.

Rikand

A reminder to all, but mod decisions are final!


(although I have tried to be as fair as possible and anything that I thought there was a middle ground, I tried to err on the side of the poster)

He's worried about a coup. This is not a good sign!!!

Okay, lets hop right into this

1. Name a roman numeral

Rikand

I let the S slide here - In some cases the S is referred to as a 1/2, but its not clear, and sometimes a 1/2 is referred to as 2 S's, so Collie gets a point

Obviously there are no wrong answers in sheep, but not sure about kangaroo, however IIII is an acceptable alternative to IV and appears on some watch dials.

I'm away with the fairies. I could have sworn we already had this reveal.


I did sh*t in the imaginary one too.
