-- We've been playing a drinking game here at the Quizmasters Convention to pass the time between symposiums.
-- It's based on this great Ella Fitzgerald song:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmcLk0hNTzM
**********************************************************************************
The QMs were challenged to create lyrics using movie references -- a few of which are posted here:
_________________________________________
If it ain't Brahms, it's Bach
It it ain't Kirk, it's Rock
If it ain't Earp, it's Doc
It's gotta be this or that
If it ain't Fred, it's Gene
If it ain't Clift, it's Dean
If it ain't Hawks, it's Lean
It's gotta be this or that
Who can it be if it ain't she
Joan or Faye as that Mother
Can't you see it's gotta be
One gal or the other
If it ain't Bud, it's Lou
If it ain't 'Scout,' it's 'Boo'
If not Fatso, it's 'Prew'
They gotta be this or that
_______________________________________
Then to open it up, we refined the lyrics to include 'and' as well as 'or':
If it's Laughton, he's 'Bligh'
If it's Farley, he's 'Guy'
If he's 'Rocky,' it's Sly
They gotta be this and that
If he's 'Gehrig,' it's Coop
If it's Reynolds, he's 'Hoop'
If it's Betty, she's Boop
They gotta be this and that
Who can it be if it ain't he
Digby or Beau a brother
Can't you see it's gotta be
One bro or the other
If it's Newman, he's 'Hud'
If it's Beatty, he's 'Bud'
If it's Elmer, he's Fudd
They gotta be this and that
________________________
I'll offer up more as they materialize throughout the conference
But also inviting any from Classic Film Board posters that can be posted here (and that I can claim as my own clever additions)

Be careful the drinking doesn't lead to a similar situation as last year's convention  |

or a repeat of that rather unfortunate swinging incident  |

-- An all night session in the hotel's Spam Room (fortified by a local Idaho hooch) produced some of the following entries.
-- We nearly missed the start of this morning's eagerly anticipated lecture by Quizmaster Norby from Nebraska on "The Hidden Meanings in Lash LaRue Westerns" (a possible future Garth Game):
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
If it's Cagney, he's 'Biff'
If it's Tamblyn, he's 'Riff'
If it's 'Charly,' he's Cliff
They gotta be this and that
If he's 'Conrad,' it's Tim
If he's 'Elwood,' it's Jim
If it's Stockwell, he's 'Kim'
They gotta be this and that
If he's 'Kimble,' it's Ford
If he's 'Leiter,' it's Lord
If he's Peppard, it's 'Cord'
They gotta be this and that
If he's 'Ben-Hur,' it's Chuck
If it's Rooney, he's 'Puck'
If it's Pallette, he's 'Tuck'
They gotta be this and that

Norby's lecture this morning was about Whip Wilson's classic movies and NOT Lash LaRue's inferior Westerns.
Apologies offered. |

Too bad the players don't get to vote on this one … OUR QM would be a shoooooo-in
Glad to see that there seems to have been no major chandelier incident last night  |

Post by mattgarth on Nov 11, 2018 16:10:08 GMT
-- Bat, the management wisely took down the chandelier before last night's bacchanal.
-- Unfortunately, they neglected to remove the carving section of the buffet table.
-- the instruments were temporarily appropriated to be used for an impromptu duel.

_______________________________________________________________________
Bat, I am far too mature to get involved in such infantile shenanigans.
Besides, I much prefer employing a rapier rather than a carving knife.
And did you make an 'Errol' with the word 'Error'?
