Coming soon. The Culture Cup

by Mind the windows Tino. Tue Aug 20, 2013 3:42 pm

First topic message reminder :

No, the Culture Cup isn't a really poor Boy George tribute act, it is the next installment of the v2 voting competitions. We have had music, TV and film, and now comes a bit of a mixture with some books thrown in for good measure.

It will follow the usual format of a category being put up, the contestants PM'ing me their choices and then a poll being set up for the wider 606v2 community to vote for their favourites. It will hopefully contain 3 x TV, 3 x Music, 3 x Film, 3 x Books and maybe a bonus round.

Adam has already got second place tied up as he is a perennial runner up in real life and on 606v2, but the winners spot is up for grabs. The prizes are excellent. The winner becomes undisputedly the most cultured poster across the whole internet, they get my respect and most importantly, they get 3% of all the advertising revenue that Adam coins in from the site. That is 3% of a lot of money. Not to be sniffed at.

Places are limited, so if you're interested in showing off what a culture vulture you are, then please let me know on this thread. Unless you are Adam, Jeff, Union, Galted, The Womble, compelling and rich or Dolphin in which case, you crazy kids are already entered.

Good luck.

Edit:

Here are the first two questions. Starting off with a couple of easy ones to get things up and running.

1) Best book ever. Quite simple really, what is the best book you have ever read? For those of you too dim to read, just make one up. If you're desperate to win then go for something popular. Alternatively, be true to yourself and pick your own favourite.

2) Greatest song never to reach the top 5 in the UK charts in the year of their release. Quite an open field, but we will be narrowing things down the further on we go. Thought about having songs that had never made the top 10 but decided that was too difficult.

Please PM me a couple of choices for each question in case you don't get your first pick. I will PM you if you don't get your first choice. If you don't hear from me, assume you got it.

Please can you send answers by the end of play Friday. When the poll is up, you can vote for yourself because I don't know how to ban it happening. If you can live with the self-loathing, then knock yourself out.

Good luck.

I remember that thread, wasn't it just renaming films with 'Willy' in the title?

That is quite a harsh assessment of what was a beautifully crafted thread about confused scriptwriters.

But essentially, yes, it was just replacing various words with 'willy'.

Sorry, but no. As with most singular nouns ending in -s, the plural of "ignoramus" is formed by adding -es. So when one ignoramus hooks up with another, you have a couple of ignoramuses.

True, "ignoramus" is a Latin loan word, but it's derived from a verb ("ignorare")--unlike, say, "stimulus," which comes from a noun and is one of the few Latin borrowings to retain the plural ending of -i.

So you would say hippopotamuses then would you?

Silly man.

Well as that's from the Greek not Latin, I think you might say Hippopotamoi. But it's also not a direct usage of a Greek word so Hippopotamuses is probably correct
