Random Hitchcock moment this week:

So, TeenNick has started a new thing called "The Splat" where they play cartoons/shows from the 90's (as a kid who grew up then, it's awesome), and there was an episode of Rocko's Modern life on (weird ass show). So, I watched and it's about him watching his neighbors window and thinking the wife killed the husband. At the end they played the Hitchcock Presents theme song and it hit me what I had just watched. I felt pretty smart.

That's pretty cool! Haven't seen that one. There's actually loads of shows that have done it. Simpsons did it, I remember ALF doing one, That 70s Show did it.

Name the last U.S. President to not earn a university degree.

What does the "B" in "BMW" stand for?

What is Times Square named for?

How many Shillings made a Pound?

What's the name of the county that makes up the majority of Northern Ireland?

I loved that film.

And Rocko's was, indeed, a weird show.

Are you willing to accept both the German and English versions of that?

Bruce Springsteen?

43's question above regarding the first president born in the States, I made a wild ass guess that was verified via a google search. As is quite often the case, Seinfeld has the answer (lol)

 

[davnlaguna]

Actual name of the Frigate old Ironsides
Bonus if you can name the war/battle that she earned the name
Double bonus if you can name the first war she was in(Quasi)

My initial question was "how many presidents were not born in the United States?" but that invites too much psychosis.

Me, I would only accept the German as authentic.

Huh. Only knew 2 with certainty.

I am not sure there is a right answer to the last question. But I am thinking by land size, not population

I fucked that question up in more ways than one so let's just ignore it lol. Need to brush up on my Irish Partition knowledge.

So trippy...how was it classified as a kids show? Sooooo much innuendo!

It was like Ren & Stimpy in that regard. Why I love it so much.

Indeed in one episode:



There was also a rhinoceros in that episode named "Mr. Horny".

Doubt you'd get anyone getting it right then. Not sure how many would even get it with accepting the English version.

I'm betting half the class would say "British?".
