Thanks for the reminder ^^

Come one, come all - still approximately 12 more hours to come up with funny, strange, crazy or downright weird answers! What makes that postbox special?

Alright, voting round has begun! Everyone is invited to guess what the right answer may be. Meanwhile, a new question awaits your funny, clever or downright weird bluffs - make up an answer and pm it to me. A gift... what could it be?

And what is so special about that postbox now?

Do we guess here or via PM, too?
Also, let me think of a good answer for the new question...

I was thinking here in the thread (since that gives you an excuse to post, which in return gives you tickets), but I will also count PM guesses. The main reason I'm collecting answers by PM is so nobody is going to know who wrote what ^^

OOOH true.
We can come discuss afterwards, I guess xD

That's right. Plus the recent question is going to change over time, so there's another incentive to check back. Also:

Very tempted to be a butt and quote only 'it' xD

Oh sweet temptation.

The mask has been caught, but there's still a few hours left for the rest of you to vote on the right answer and score some tickets. Or send me gifts. Er, I mean, suggestions for what the Russian gift might have been.

Guess for the Post Office box: It's underwater.

And that's correct! You guys sure know your mail.

Have some free tickets on me - sorry if they arrive wet, I was trying to send them right from Susami Bay. New question is up, and I've also changed the bluff points from 10 to 20. We got some nice answers there, so what do you think unites nations even better than a bottle of Vodka?

Is it weird I think it is the reindeer? They are Native to Russia right?

No, they're native to Lapland!!!
(totally serious answer)

They're also treated with reflective paint these days, mainly on the antlers.
(also totally serious answer)

I mean Lapland borders Russia?
Reindeer are in Russia

Per Google

Step aside, Rudolph - you're getting some fierce competition!

Certainly one needs light in a submarine... but wouldn't a reindeer sooner or later eat the navigation charts? What do you think, guys and gals... was that the famous gift? Or something else entirely? Get your guess in!

I'm gonna refrain from sending in an answer for the current question, because I actually know the answer, and I wanna give other people a chance to earn points.

I was kidding about my answer xDD they might be from Russia, I wouldn't know.

Den, you can always send your answer in pm. That way others won't know what you picked. But there certainly will be more questions.

Ding-ding-ding, yet another round has passed! Did you get your guess in? Did you vote for chocolate? If so, you were... wrong.

Strange as it may sound, they really kept a reindeer on board. And rumor has it, once Pollyanna's barrel of moss ran out, she mostly dined on leftovers, but did indeed eat a navigation chart at some point.

The taxidermy moose head was a wonderful answer, albeit a bluff from Den, and as such is worth 20 points.

Congratulations to everyone who got the right answer or successfully got someone else to believe theirs! Will you be just as lucky with the next question?

Aw man have you guys even watched psycho
there were great answers like
first to show an assassination on-screen
first to show a man dressed as a woman
first to show a car drowning
(all made up by me, I have no idea if it was the first or not on those)
and one of you chose...
something that's not even on the movie that I was going to spoil here but I won't

Interestingly, cross dressing in movies goes back as far as at least 1913, where an officer pretends to be a female cook so he can spend more time with a young woman. The Little House in Kolomna is a black and white Russian silent film based on a poem by Alexander Pushkin. The first full feature length films with a men dressed as a woman would appear somewhere in the 1940s, and for a more popular example, Some Like It Hot premiered roughly one year before Psycho.

Now that "Learn something new every day" time has passed... what answer do you guess?

Psycho was the first movie to show a toilet flushing on screen.

Psycho was also the first to show a non married couple in bed together post Coitus.
I have never seen the movie though cause I don't like horror and slasher films.

I'm not fond of the genre myself, but I was able to watch it without issue. It helped that I knew the blood in the iconic scene was actually chocolate syrup.

Den is correct about the chocolate syrup, but there's still some time left before I'm going to reveal the right answer. So get your guesses in! ^^

Just as a warning, I know a lot of really random things about a myriad of topics, and I have a weird sense of humor, so I might just send in answers to mess with people. Mwahaha. XD

Psycho is definitely the first movie where you secretly want to lick the victim. :p-cool:
Because of the chocolate, I mean. Geez, all your dirty minds...

Ooh interesting fact about crossdressing...
I'll agree with Den just because it's a very random thing to be the first of.

Alright, I'll throw your guesses down the toilet and flush... *ka-ching!* ding-ding-ding! Jackpot. It is completely random, completely silly, and completely right!

Next question coming up shortly.

I'm going to guess 1.
BUT I do have a finnish buddy whose screen name is a donald duck book so I'm really tempted to ask him. BUT I WON'T OK

*wanders around, waiting for the right answer*

Poor Den, waited to so long... so long... the meat escaped the bones.

Haha, oh my! Seems the right answer can be just as elusive as true love.

While a troublesome middle name sounds like a tempting idea, it's not what got Donald kicked out of kids' bedrooms. For those who didn't know, by the way, his official middle name is Fauntleroy, and to my knowledge it doesn't mean anything nasty in another language.

No, in this particular case he was banned for his lack of proper clothing, aka pants.

What a silly thing to ban him for! Not like he had any dangly bits to show...

His quackers were showing lol

Or his butt quack >.<
