Smatter Noguts-san! Did you remember to set Fujicam on automatic snore detector setting?

[Username]

Here we call that a 50/50 (traditionally 50% Tooheys Old/50% Tooheys New) but no doubt that's a local thing.

I'm sorry I didn't use offer a question topic. I'll have Southern Hemisphere Hooch please when its appropriate.

[Badfellow]

You're all good in the land of the Southern Cross, Username.
But the category was (and still is) Shite You Might Know From A British pub. Commonwealths, Canberra and Beaver Nations not withstanding.

Wag your chins further, but I'm getting some shite-eye until at least 1000 hours in the Central 'Mericun Timezone.

No correct answers thus far, and no pictures on the bonus.

Keep the trivia faith.

again.... hint........ your wife would not wish for HER to stay for too long. OLD & BITTER?

[Patchez]

The Mother-in-law.

[Bluto]

Damn, Patchez is good. I do believe it is the Mother-In-Law.

[Badfellow]

The Mother-in-law.

You say that with a grim sort of certainty, Patchez.
Why?
Because you are CORRECTO-MUNDO!
For +5 on the board. You are now solidly in second place...

Chips and brashers, anyone? The next question will be along soon.

[Badfellow]

Alright. The next question is imminent.
And it's a 2-for-1 special worth +10 points.
The category is Southern Hemisphere Hooch.
Good luck.



*Pisco is a type of what hooch? And in which two countries will you primarily find it made?



Do your thang, booze gurus.

[Jiggers McCoy]

Pisco is an un-aged brandy, popular in Chile and Peru. It's typically made with the trash grapes and stems, ie, byproducts of winemaking.

[Frankennietzsche]

If it's not Aunt Flow, then it must be the Mother In Law.

DOn't forget to tip your waitress.

[Surreal]

I think Jiggers nailed it. Capel Pisco is a brand that somehow finds it's way to trout camp each year. It's a see-thru brandy that we turn into Pisco Sours and it comes in a cool bottle. Wicked hangovers are the norm.

[oettinger]

Sounded like exotic fortified wine to me. Like a southern version of cisco or what it`s name was

[Badfellow]

If it's not Aunt Flow, then it must be the Mother In Law.

I warned you, pally. Boot to the RIPT!

Pisco is an un-aged brandy, popular in Chile and Peru. It's typically made with the trash grapes and stems, ie, byproducts of winemaking.

And, swooping in under the radar like a hawk on a field mouse...
CORRECT!
Nicely done for +10 well-earned points. You're the real trivia McCoy.

Pisco is a form of "brandy" or grape distillate popular in portions of South America.
In addition to single-handedly decimating the Inca Empire, the colonial Spanish also established a great number of vinyards in the New World to meet their thirsts as well as the sacramental requirements of the church. Alembics were shipped to the colonies and Pisco became the answer to the troublesome and costly importation of orujo spirits from the Old World.

Just like that, Jiggers picks up the 2-for-1 and rises up the leader board.

More questions on the way.
TN@TP will continue.

[Badfellow]

Here's a quick +5 pointer off the snap.
The category is Tipple In Dystopian Literature.
Good luck.

*In the George Orwell masterpiece Nineteen-Eighty-Four (1984), what are the three primary intoxicating beverages named as the standard tipple of the Inner Party, Outer Party and proles respectively? Note as a hint that one of these answers should be brand specific.


We're going to make those questions nice and big from now on for all you one-eyed typists out there spilling Zima all over your QWERTYs.
Doubleplusgood.
Comrade Palinka and the Thought Police will be monitoring your telescreens for any indications of cheatcrime.

I`m unable to score anymore, am I?

[Badfellow]

...I`m unable to score anymore, am I?

That's what she said.

Come on, Oettinger. Dust off the brain cells and give it one more try.
