7 Countries that end in the letter "Y" - part 2

So apparently the most common reason people are finding this blog is by doing a google search for "7 countries that end in Y" - oh and Anthony Callea for some reason!?!

And as this post didn't actually contain the answer, I've listed all nine countries so you trivia cheaters can look all big and smart;

Germany
Uruguay
Turkey
Paraguay
Italy
Guernsey
Hungary
Norway
Vatican City

I want 50% of your winnings. My lawyers will be in contact.

Daywalker - not a ranga with no freckles

Saturday night. Sitting around the lounge drinking with Bec, Tristan and Katrina. Some how the term "daywalker" comes into conversation. Poor Benji gets laughed at for suggesting it may actually be a vampire that can go out in the sun.

"What a foolish, foolish man" the room chorused. "How ridiculous to think such a thing Ben. You certainly are retarded." Lots of thigh slapping at Ben's expense.

So cunts. From Wikipedia comes this interesting definition;

"A daywalker is a vampire which, for various reasons, is immune to the effects of sunlight and is able to operate during the day.”

What is potentially more ridiculous is Tristan's definition - a red-headed person with no freckles.

Ps - this may not be a true representation of the exact conversation. It may have been dramatised to make me seem less stupid. But I was still right. Cunts.

Nerdy but kinda fun...

I found this song chart meme via joemygod a few months ago, and loved it straight away.

Maybe it's the secret science/maths nerd in me, but it's fun trying to work out what songs the charts are trying to represent.

Find all 109 song charts here.

Worked this one out yet? Scroll down.









It's Kelis' Milkshake.


Duh.

Countries that end in the letter "Y"

Let's revisit some of my favourite old postings from myspace (From June 27, 2007 - I'm too lazy to write anything new right now)

Actually looking for 7 countries that end in "Y"? Click here


Kat and I went down to the Hammo Hotel last night for some healthy dinner (Hmmm hamburger and chips), and play some dodgy pub trivia.

I love trivia. Just love it. Seriously.

I always win trivial pursuit when I play during a blackout with the family (cause you wouldn't want to play it any other time because it's gay).

And I'm really good at the those late night Quiz Mania shows - though I've never picked up the phone to try and enter. Not at $3.95 a minute.

And never Hotdogs.

And pictionary - is that even trivia? I don't know but my team always wins pictionary, even though I can't draw for shit.

I am seriously a trivia genius, usually. Not last night. We sucked big time.

Who the hell was married to Anne Hathaway? Isn't she the chick out of the Princess Diary movies? No, she was married to William Shakespeare. Hmmm. Old dead people, that's not trivia.

Who is married to Julie Andrews - Captain Von Trap of course.

Name all 5 original fruitloops flavours. We put green, purple, orange, pink and red. What they're not flavours? Purple's a flavour for fuck sake. At least we got one point for orange.

Who were the first two people to climb everest and survive? We put Edmund Hillary (knew that was right). 2nd answer? Jesus.

WRONG DUMB ASS

Our crowning glory came with the following question - "Name seven countries that end in "Y"". Ms Surmon leans over and in the most serious whisper I have ever heard, says,

"Yugoslavia"

Pure, unadulterated, worthy-of-entry-to-MENSA genius.

Sadly, we only came up with one (Italy) and out of desperation put down Kat's answer hoping for a sympathy point. Which we didn't get.

Weirdly the things we got right are so very out of scope for me and Kat. Anything to do with the bible we got full points (save the Jesus climbed Mt Everest answer). Golf questions were also a winner.

The final question - "What 80's pop group were originally known as "2 Tons of Fun"?" -

The Weather Girls - I got it right.

I'm so gay.
