Bao's BLOG!!

It's Wednesday now, and I didn't update yesterday. Anyway, on Monday I said I'd post "Monday's" real update on Tuesday, and now I'm editing Monday's update to make it... better. At first I had this whole lecture on how many of you guys don't know... popular stuff. Like, popular mainstream music (present and past), some of you don't know actors, some of you don't know other famous people. It's like we're all in our own little world. Like Duy, he's in Azeroth all the time. Who's Donald Trump? Who was Edward Norton again? Who are the Foo Fighters? And Jia, doesn't know actors and probably not singers. David, doesn't know... a lot, like Duy, but probably more than Duy cuz he does listen to Country music. And then the rest of us (minus me, haha) don't know much about mainstream music. We might know Chinese or anime or videogame music, but not mainstream American/Canadian music.

So the artist I last had was indeed Red Hot Chili Peppers, which David got, at least by a tiny 'touch', but that's better than nothing. I think RHCP are pretty popular, at least over the last 10 years, I thought Ray and Wen might've gotten it. But alas, I was wrong. Anyway, so my lecture was supposed to go on and on, and even had a large quiz with names, where you would tell me which names you recognize and then you get to be on a scale of knowledge. Actually, let's make a smaller quiz for today.

Do you know Britney Spears? If you do, you get 1 point.
Do you know Arnold Swarchzenegger? If you do, you get 1 point.
Do you know who Jessica Alba is? If you do, you get 1 point.
Do you know who Janet Reno is? If you do, you get 1 point.
Do you know who Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is? If you do, you get 1 point!

Good good. My original quiz had 30 people in it, so this is the condensed version for now.

Anyway, I posted trivia on Monday, and unfortunately, I almost could not think of anything over the past few days, so I only have limited trivia to give you. Also, I updated Monday's entry with clues now..

Let's try a new one. There's a gameshow called Camouflage, and there was something like this:
COWSAREINDEED
PICKINGBULLIES
And the clue given was "Headlines". And then there was a timer, and as the time goes on, the point value drops, and letters fall off the board. People can buzz in and answer it if they think they know the answer. Do you think you see the answer? Then you buzz in! If you don't, you wait a few seconds, and you might see something like
C_WS_REIND_ _D
_ICKI_ _ B_LLIES
and then a few seconds later...
_ _WS_R_IN_ _ _D
_ _ _ KI_ _ B_ _LIES
and then a few seconds later...
_ _WS_R_IN_ _ _ _
_ _ _ K_ _ _ B_ _L _ ES

by now, you should probably understand how to play the game. Going from left to right, top to bottom, you can spell out "WRINKLES", which is the correct answer. Good? Hmm... lemme think of some stuff... some of these might have literal clues and some might have weirder clues, like the above puzzle. And... hmm... maybe I can stick in two puzzles in the same question! So first, for us magic players..

Clue: Magic Cards - two of them! each card name has two words, and as a bonus, each card is in Type 2 but not in Lorwyn, but they're not in a row... for example, if the cards were giant growth and uncle istvan, the puzzle might be giantunzzzclegrozzzistwzzthvan...

HASSLE CHOIR NICE AWFULER UPPER MANAGEMENT TEAM. clues will be given after each guess.

Clue: Movie, making things bigger

STUMPY PERSON IS CRAZY LJ MEME

One more: Clue: Game, death

SPEEDOMETER READS ZERO MILES

That's enough of this type of puzzle for now.
