    Welcome to the reveal thread for Kangaroo!!!

    giphy.gif

    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


    RESEARCH WAS ALLOWED
    NO DUPLICATE ANSWERS
    ANSWERS WERE PM'D TO ME IN THE USUAL WAY
    ALL ARBITRARY GAME MOD DECISIONS ARE FINAL

    And these are your players! (Hopefully I havent missed someone)

    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!

    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..... :o

    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:

    I was going to and changed my mind :o

    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.

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

    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)

    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 :D

    Question 1: 1. Name a roman numeral

    A - 13
