This'd better not be out of the companion, or one of the diaries.

bozzie · 05-12-2003 07:17AM

i believe they found half of his earlobe

Havelock · 05-12-2003 09:19AM

As Ridcully discribed it, (can't make it any easier with out giving the answer)

GuanYin · 05-12-2003 10:30AM

One minute he was dishing up an order of double cod and mushy peas, the next minute : Aaaaerrrrscream-gristle-gristle-gristle-crack and a shower of fried food

Havelock · 05-12-2003 11:07AM

Correct - (Word perfect).

Your go (again)

Ravaan · 05-12-2003 11:59AM

So where was it from then?

Oh, and this brings up a point – If everyone’s agreeable to it can we say that questions have to come from the 27…sorry, 28 core books and not mess about with the cookbook, diaries, companions, science of… and mappes? It’d make it fairer cos, like Thaed said, not everyone’s got the peripheral books. Oh, and how’s about a book reference with every correct answer? (That ‘what proportion of assasins…’ question’s still bugging me)

GuanYin · 05-12-2003 02:52PM

Name Three Discworld magazines for the military enthusiast.

Nevyn · 06-12-2003 12:44PM

hmmmm two are easy,

/me goes to glare at her book shelf until the book with the 3rd reference is suficently embarrased and jumps from the shelf.

echomadman · 07-12-2003 05:56PM

and how’s about a book reference with every correct answer?

Yeah, that proportion of assasins Q is still bothering me too.

Ravaan · 09-12-2003 02:49PM

1) Bows and Ammo <---- that was the easy one - it's been in 4 or 5 books
2) Practical Siege Weapons
3) Warrior of Fortune <----both from Jingo, which was the first place I looked. I know there's a few that King Verence gets in for Shawn Ogg in Lords and Ladies too, but I couldn't be bothered to go looking for them.

OK, so what was the name of the last king of Ankh Morpork?

Havelock · 09-12-2003 03:05PM

King Lorenzo the Kind. (re-Read Jingo last night)

Who are the first peopel Rincewind meets as he flees the Fire of Ankh-Morpork?

Ravaan · 09-12-2003 03:09PM

Bravd and Weasel - Colour of Magic

Why's Captain Quirke got the nickname "Mayonaise"?

GuanYin · 09-12-2003 03:30PM

beacause he's greasy and smells of eggs

Ravaan · 09-12-2003 03:37PM

The smells of eggs bit's right, but you're not quite there.

GuanYin · 09-12-2003 03:54PM

rich, thick and oily and smells of eggs?

Ravaan · 09-12-2003 04:11PM

Yep, Men At Arms.

Your turn.

GuanYin · 09-12-2003 05:35PM

Who said "Let us take History by the Scrotum"

TheSonOfBattles · 10-12-2003 03:57AM

General Tacticus in Jingo if I remember correctly.

GuanYin · 10-12-2003 10:28AM

correctamundo

TheSonOfBattles · 11-12-2003 08:14PM

Don't know if this will be acceptable, but i'll try askin it anyways, cause it's hard, and it'll be fun to try and answer. Here goes

Terry pratchett pays homage to Gary Larson through a duck joke in one of his books, what book, and quote the line?

If that's to much, instead try:

Who are the two named possible authors for the discs version of The Art of War.

I actually only spotted that one about a month ago (I lost my copy of Soul Music and on rebought i t recently).

Its "As soon as he saw the duck, Elmer knew it was going to be a bad day"

I defer my question to TSoB's second question. I found 2 people but 3 names associated with it, give the three names.

TheSonOfBattles · 11-12-2003 09:13PM

Damn was hopin to see that stretch out for a while. You observant fun wrecker you

Ah well, you are of course right.

I only know the two, so I'm gonna have to do some diggin to find the third.

TheSonOfBattles · 31-12-2003 09:58PM

Anyone want to ask a new question, cause this thread has died up.

GuanYin · 01-01-2004 06:12PM

Gen. A. Tacticus
One Tzu Sung
Three Sun Sung

were the answers.

an easy one:

Sarky · 01-01-2004 11:41PM

Green, like the beize of a poker table.

Whar were the names of all the members of Ande supporting Bandes (the name they finally decided on

) in Soul Music?

superconor · 02-01-2004 11:46PM

That wasnt the name of Scum/Suck, that was the name of all the bands that played, like The Whom, We're Certainly Dwarves and Trollz.

Sarky · 03-01-2004 01:34AM

Jeez, fine, have it your way.

They were briefly called The surreptitious fabric as well, if it helps.

superconor · 18-01-2004 12:35AM
