Question #4 (In Poor Taste):

Answer: B (Gatorade)

I thought Gatorade tasted horrible in 1965, and even after all the changes, I still think the same in 2013. What I want to know is, who tasted the urine besides Cade? . . . Nevermind. I've tasted the other three, and they're not all that great-tasting either, but I doubt anyone would mistake them for urine.

I actually own one of these. It was a gift from my sister-in-law (but that wasn't one of the 4 choices for the question).

I'd JTQ. It's a shame, Jackie, I was rooting for you.

Jackie blogged about her 'Millionaire' appearance and being 'Dursted' by the audience not long after her episode first aired. Very interesting read.

Thanks. She told us all about it last October...

http://wwtbambored.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=45569

It was good to meet her in Las Vegas at TCONA.

I spent time with Jackie over the weekend, then missed a pub quiz question about her last night. Turns out that "Cherry Bomb" by The Runaways was used in the current Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film.

EDIT:
Sorry, I misremembered the incident. "Cherry Bomb" is in the soundtrack of "Guardians Of The Galaxy," not TMNT. So now I've missed it twice.

You should be proud you missed that.

My mistake. It was in "Guardians Of The Galaxy," not Ninja Turtles.
