Continuous Quiz: Tenpin Bowling

[davidmfay]

Yes David number 1 is Peter Piper. Well worked out. Only two pins left and the reasoning behind the o-o-o.

7 PIP

[davidmfay]

Sorry Benny 7 is not Pip although I can see the logic of your guess. In summary:

1 Leading character in Nursery rhyme PETER PIPER
2 Performer on original Band Aid single STING
3 Book of the Old Testament
4 Young male featured in several sports BALL BOY
5 Means of promoting a product PLUG
6 Nickname of Wimbledon champion LITTLE MO
7 Character in South Park voiced by a Hollywood celeb
8 British crime film BUSTER
9 Popular children's game I SPY
10Character in Mozart opera FIGARO

To help a little more Number 3 relates to a character who relentlessly brought disaster upon everyone unlucky enough to cross his path. The South Park character was voiced by George Clooney and shares his name with a classic title character of British comics who was dropped from that comic presumably for reasons of political correctness. You have already identified Buster as the o-o-o but not given the reason why. Keep at it Benny (and everyone else!) You're nearly there ...

I am guessing that 3 will be Jonah

[davidmfay]

Yes Lisa well done 3 is indeed that hapless mariner Jonah. Another pin falls.

[Bennybiel]

7 SPARKY !!!!!

[davidmfay]

Benny. I am in awe of your knowledge of the penny dreadfuls. You have nailed that tricky final pin (Yes of course its Sparky!!) and also identified Buster as the o-o-o. I will yield the baton to you with the willing passivity of Cuthbert Cringeworthy if you can tell me why he is unlike the other 9.

[Bennybiel]

Clutching at straws maybe but is it Buster Gonad from Viz as opposed to comics aimed at children?

[lhermann]

If it isn't please may we have a clue?

[Chris]

Hmm, poor David seems to have gone missing (maybe he's slaving away with the elves, getting ready for tomorrow?).

So, unless David can re-join us before Benny sees this post... Benny, the ball is in your court! Take it away sir...
