The 12-Step Garth Game Program

******************************************************************

01. THE INTRODUCTION:
Let's give that tall fella from Nebraska a chance this time
_________________________________________________________________

02. THE SONG: (Vocals by Al Jolson)
Nothing could be finer than a Quiz on Henry Fonda in the mor-or-or-ning
Nothing could be neater than to track down who's his leader in 'North Spaw-aw-aw-ning'

When Kate's MORNING GLORY's remade as STAGE STRUCK
Search who played his role the first time -- finding it will take some luck

Strolling through each movie can be really kinda groovy on this mor-or-or-ning
Answers start to flutter up and matches you keep coming up are daw-aw-aw-ning

If you find you're getting stuck with links down the road
Just nab the Quote he said as 'Tom Joad'

Nothing will be finer than to play this Quiz on Fonda in the mor-or-or-ning
________________________________________________________

03. THE QUOTE:
"Fella ain't got a Quiz of his own, just a little piece of a big Quiz -- the one big Quiz that belongs to everybody."
'Tom Joad' in THE GRAPES OF WRATH (well, almost)

***************************************************************

04. THE SET-UP:
-- Numerically listed below in BLUE are 100 QUESTIONS.
-- The Questions are divided into 25 CATEGORIES (Lettered 'A' to 'Y')
-- There will be 4 QUESTIONS in each CATEGORY.

-- All QUESTIONS will deal with the career of HENRY FONDA.
-- Each of the 25 CATEGORIES will cover a different aspect of his films.
-- A 2-Point BONUS ROUND will follow the completion of the 100 responses ... 3-plus Signees required before starting.
______________________________________________________________

05. THE CHALLENGE:
-- Respond to the QUESTIONS in the 25 CATEGORIES.
-- Every Answer will require the TITLE of one (or more) of Fonda's works.
-- A Posting Example is offered below.
-- Just ONE answer per post, and only THREE consecutive responses allowed before another player participates.

-- Scores will appear below in PURPLE.
-- Duplicate posts will be determined by the earlier time stamp.
-- Individual correct answers will convert to RED when solved, along with the name of the clever player who nabbed it.
-- Entire CATEGORIES will appear in PINK when all four Questions have been answered correctly.

**************************************************************

06. THE EXAMPLE:
Z-104. Identify the TITLE, CHARACTER NAME and FILM DIRECTOR of the picture in which HENRY FONDA won the Oscar as Best Lead Actor.
ALWAYS list the LETTERED NUMBER and the FILM TITLE in the Message Box first.
Ex.: Z-104 -- ON GOLDEN POND
Place SPECIFIC ANSWER -- usually a name (Performer/Character/Person) or information sought -- in the Message Box second.
Ex.: 'NORMAN THAYER JR.' / MARK RYDELL

Where there are multiple (five or more) answers available, only the first four correct responses will be credited.
HF = HENRY FONDA

**************************************************************

07. THE EQUATIONS:
a) Questions -- 30% Easy / 30% Challenging / 30% Difficult / 10% Impossible
b) Answers -- 99% Absolutely Accurate / 01% Garth Gaffe (Advanced Apology Extended)
_______________________________________________________________

08. THE NOTATIONS:
NTA = Not the Answer / KP = Keep Pursuing (on the right track) / QS = Quit Searching (down the wrong path)
**Player!! = Double Digit Club (DDC) Post / LLS = Last Link Standing (Final Answer)
_______________________________________________________________

09. THE STATISTICS:
25 CATEGORIES / 4 ITEMS PER CATEGORY / 100 TOTAL QUESTIONS / 100 HENRY FONDA RESPONSES

***************************************************************

10. THE QUIZMASTER'S MANIFESTO:
-- The QM will always offer warm welcomes to incoming players, helpful hints for incorrect responses, and DDC acknowledgement.
-- Beyond that, the Quizmaster may not always respond to every post.
-- Not being unfriendly, just utilizing the time more efficiently by keeping the Scoreboard U-T-D (Up-To-Date).
-- Besides, it's just too boring to keep responding 'Yes" to every correct answer -- and too many posts may scare off potential players.
-- The Scoreboard will tell the tale -- but be patient about U-T-Ds because the QM thinks and types slowly.
-- Do you want 'em fast or accurate? (I don't do both)

-- Any comments on Correct Answers (always a player's first and sometimes after several attempts) will be entered ALL IN CAPS!!!
-- When posting traffic is heavy, Scores will be entered in groups of five, and incorrects (NTAs and halfers) will be bundled.
-- Be sure to number and label correctly to save wear and tear on the QM and his beleaguered staff.
-- Only one answer can be correct -- MINE! (It's good to be the Quizmaster)
-- Please follow the EXAMPLE directions to facilitate scoring as well as maintaining player harmony and Quizmaster sanity.
-- IMPORTANT: Do not return to correct a previous post -- this vehicle cannot make U-Turns.
