eggwardsTonight I was shopping at Target. As I went through the store, and by the movies area, there was a lady loudly speaking to a Target team-member and pointing to a box containing the March of the Penguins DVD. She kept saying, "But I don't want widescreen!" After she was told that Target wasn't carrying the pan-and-scan, she walked of in a huff. I had to ask the associate, "Does anyone really buy full screen DVD's anymore?" He shook his head and went about his business.
Alright, several hours ago I set up a quiz to ask if you could decipher the Christmas/Holiday tune based on the clue given. More that 50 people participated, some answered every question, others just a few. Still, nine people took the prize, getting each one correct. It took a while to go through the answers, but the winners are:
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
randomcub, bigmacbear, robearal, verucacub, invisiblebear, winbear, anglicub, albadger, and f__k (I swear I didn't give him the answers).
So here are the answers:
1. A young woman desires a man to break into her home, and hopes for expensive material gifts.
Santa Baby
2. Unsure of the parentage of an infant, a question must be asked.
What Child is This?
3. Hoofed animal saves Christmas with his mutant ability.
Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer Everyone got this.
4. Beloved is very generous over a series of earth rotations.
The Twelve Days Of Christmas
5. An archaic conveyance provides frivolity while making a ringing noise due to decorations.
Jingle Bells, but I also accepted Sleigh Ride
6. Kids using a mystical artifact create a golem who terrorizes the town and breaks traffic laws.
Frosty the Snowman
7. Lovers walking in the chilled weather hallucinate that an inanimate snowpile is a member of the clergy.
(Walking in a) Winter Wonderland
8. Singer questions listeners’ use of sight, hearing and mental faculties.
Do You Hear What I Hear?
9. Due to the birth of a fall guy, the indiscretions perpetrated by the city’s gentrified class is dismissed.
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen (This one was missed the most)
10. Fashioned dirt now makes a delightful toy.
I Have a Little Dreidel
11. Elderly family member is in critical condition due to run in with animal.
Grandma Got Run-over By a Reindeer
12. Rhythmic banging is child’s only tribute.
The Little Drummer Boy
13. Pre-Amazon.com wishlist from child with temporary speech impediment.
(All I Want For Christmas is) My Two Front Teeth
14. As obese man travels down eponymous street , children are encouraged to sleep.
Here Comes Santa Claus (This was often guessed wrong, as Santa Claus is Coming to Town, but the key word is "eponymous", and refers to Santa "coming right down Santa Claus lane")
15. Non-deciduous vegetation is remarked upon for remaining verdant.
O Christmas Tree (or O Tannenbaum)
The most entertaining answers were provided bypeppabear. He was usually wrong, but with titles like Whose Screaming Infant is This?, Do you Hear My Tivo, and I Had a Little Yentl, I Made Him Out of Woman, you have to laugh.
So there it is. I have a few more that i couldn't use, so I may run with them on Monday.
