Paul's Daily Trivia Question #5 (the actual #5 where as the #5 yesterday was actually #4...whatever)

Rachel and Joey once traded books. NAME THOSE BOOKS!

Paul wrote:

'The Shining' and 'Little Women'

Correct. For the bonus, when Joey was afraid of the shining, where did he put it?

Paul wrote:

The freezer. This one is really easy :)

Easy, yeah, but the point of this more of thinking of very funny moment, like when Joey walked into the girl's apartment and said something to the effect of "I don't think Meg is going to get better." Not sure THAT exact quote, but it is an amusing memory...

"Paul" <paulatdallasmavsdotnet> wrote in message news:[email]...

exact

Not Meg.

He goes in there, almost sobbing, and says, "Beth's really really sick".

Rachel then says, "Ohhhh, Joey. . .Do you want me to put the book in the freezer?"

Good call...I never read "little women" so I forget the character names...Though I do remember the sad Joey scene...Makes me smile...

I read it. I had this really bad abridged version, they'd really chopped it up and in my copy, Beth didn't actually die. Isn't that against the law or something? Or did she actually not die and it's all a big conspiracy?

Oh please, this one's too easy to bother answering, Andre has already answered anyway :)

Joey: Shining et Rachel it was little women ?

"Paul" <paulatdallasmavsdotnet> wrote in message news:...

phone books!

news:...

LOL Joey's was from Overlook, Colorado, while Rachel's was Concord, Massachusetts.

Oh! I want to add another bonus question!

What was the name of the book Rachel had under her pillow that Joey found? (They might have not given the name of the book in which case...describe it)

"Sofya" wrote in message news:afvb5g$7c4$[email]...

it)

Since the name isn't spoken, and I can't make out what is says on the cover, I'm guessing its title is something like, "The Vicar's Daughter."

Joey calls it porn, but Rachel says it's erotica. In Rachel's opinion the difference would be lost on Joey.

Ooh, *that* question isn't trivial! :)

Nope David, that was not its title. Like to try again?

Okay, this evening I was just told that my quips are not funny. In fact, it was said that I have a habit of making obscure references. Did anyone get the "obscure references" above or should I be rethinking my sense of humor? Not that I will necessarily change, but it's good to take a reality check from time to time. :-)

"David Buehrle" wrote in message news:<bFuV8.12803$[email]

obscure references don't have to be funny or visa versa.

i thought the quip was funny but i didn't get the reference because I am not that great with the trivia.

but i did laught because i was wondering where joey would have got that ny accent in colorado.

I hate to own up to Karaoke-izing, BUT.

First, TMBG was in the book, so I had to sing it.

Second, it was Make a Little Birdhouse in your Soul, and I knew all the words.

Third, the polite drunks actually applauded, even if it WAS just golf/tennis applause. I like drunks!

Life's tough. I finally caugh an episode of Malcolm in the Middle, opening scene featuring Why Does the Sun Shine.

so go ahead and post whatever you like!

Apparently it was a bit of a reach for most folks. Not that one needs to get my reference to follow along. I'm not that deep. ;-) In any case, here is the filler between the cracks:

"The Shining" takes place at the Overlook Hotel in the mountains of Colorado, while "Little Women" was supposedly set in Concord, Massachusetts as that was the home of the author, Louisa May Alcott, when she and her sisters were roughly the age of the sisters in the book. The book is considered to be loosely autobiographical, though only the sister Beth maintained her name, and Jo represented young Louisa herself.

So, the answer "phone books" must be the phone books for Overlook, Colorado and Concord, Massachusetts--or at least, that's the way it played in my mind. :-)

"David Buehrle" wrote in message news:...

that was great! I hadn't read the Shining. And Little Women is a distant memory. Thanks for the explanation

Today, one of my staff members asked me if I wanted to order breakfast in the office. I said sure, knowing that the biscuit house they were ordering from could not possibly have what I wanted: lox and bagels, I said.

She asked me: What's a lock, what kind of biscuit is that.

it's the gravy that it swims in I said

Gosh, I was even further away than I thought I was in the first place.

BTW, did you see my post where I told you that the book under Rachel's pillow was not titled "The Vicar's Daughter"?

Tennant

"Tennant Stuart" wrote in message news:[email]...

LOL Yes, I did see that. Unfortunately, that's one I didn't read, and since it doesn't really exist (I am told), I will have to wait for a repeat of the ep to see if I can catch the title on the cover.

Btw, speaking of unfinished threads, I have all but given up on the picture on Phoebe's shirt from TOW The Videotape. I do leave things hanging, don't I?

To see the book's title, it might just be visible in the director's cut on the European DVD - but anyway there's another way to find out... ;)

Oh, I was kinda hoping you were still roaming Minnesotan art shops.

I just figured that after about 40 hours of researching the topic I probably need another break. Fall is a good time to pick it up again.

David:

Actually, I got your references, and enjoyed them. (I have read both books, however, and that may be why). I'm one of those people who's mind is just filled with useless trivia (even if I DON"T get the trivia questions here most of the time), and it seems like you may be, as well. (It would probably be better to say that we just have good memories). I've found that most people don't, though. I'm not sure why some people just remember things, without even really trying, and others don't. Probably some right-brain/left-brain sort of thing. :)

Anyway, guess what I'm saying is -- keep it up! :)

Left brain, right brain, middle brain, addle brain....that is me, the last one
