Game: Mad Blab!

[YayBoromir!]

This game is based on the game "Mad Gab", but it's name is changed for copyright reasons. ;) I saw this first on another forum and thought it was a really good idea
This is how it works:

I will post five statements which sound like nonsense. But when you read them out aloud, they will sound like phrases, famous people, places etc.
Post what you think the English phrase is. There will be 1 point for each correct phrase. You're not allowed edits!
The first, and only the first person who gets a statement correct will get the point.
There will be 30 phrases in total. You can answer a maximum of 2 phrases in each bunch of 5 and the person with the most points at the end will be the winner!

There is no limit to the number of people that can play. It's a free-for-all! I will keep track of the scores.

Here's an example if you're not sure what I mean.
For example, I post the phrase:
Weigh Cup Toothy Fax.
Which, when read aloud, should sound like:
Wake up to the facts!

Here is the first batch of 5 questions. Remember, there will only be 30! Good luck! :thumbs:
1. Leaf Meal Own
2. Sly Stun Yen
3. Nod Itch Ants
4. Egg Lassoed He
5. Pea Cub Who Icy Hue

[Frodo's Love]

I smell a rat?????
lol

Hmm. SindarinGirl was faster than I... :( ;)

( but you could congratulate me on my 400th post!!!roflmao )

[SindarinGirl]

This time, but you beat me the last time on # 27, FL, so it all comes out in the wash!
lol

:entdraught": To your 400th post! And ma - ny moooore! Sorry, I forgot I'm not supposed to sing! ;)

[YayBoromir!]

I had to change it because Illuvatar posted 3 answers instead of 2 by mistake. Sorry about that. You got the point though! :thumbs: Congrats on your 400th post, Frodo's Love!:whoohoo: :wiggle: :wave:

Hmmm... I seemed to have reached my original designated limit. Should I continue, or stop it here, or have 1 last question for just SindarinGirl and Illuvatar to answer to decide the winner? Opinions please.:)

YB!:cool:

[Illuvatar]

One More!

[Frodo's Love]

Please go on, YB!!! I really love this game! :thumbs:

Thanks for the congrats, BTW ;) entdraught to all

[SindarinGirl]

notworthy I humbly withdraw from the contest - it just wouldn't do to have a nameless elf competing against the Creator of the Universe! ;)
Besides, he types faster, I can't win! lol

[Illuvatar]

roflmao roflmao....

Well then, I withdraw my recommendation and would be proud to share the title with SindarinGirl! :p

[YayBoromir!]

Since you all would like different things, I will set a time when there will be one more question posted to decide the winner of Mad Blab 1 (either SindarinGirl or Illuvatar)! That time will be exactly 5:45 PM on the forum clock. You don't have to participate if you don't want, but it's worth a try! :thumbs:

Then, I will post some more questions, which will not be scored, but will just be for fun. :) How's that sound?

P.S. Illuvatar, I made this, I don't know if you need anything like it for the forums. Please tell me what you think because I can make more if you like. ;)

[SindarinGirl]

You're on GMT, right Yay? My clock says it's 12:40, cause I'm on EST.

I like your little guy. That sounds wrong - I like the character drawing you made. Yeah, that's much better. Phew!

[Illuvatar]

Yea...and my clock says 09:44 am! I'm slow.....how we gonna work that?

[YayBoromir!]

It should read GMT on the forum clock. Look below this message, it should say the time. It says it for me, anyway. :huh:
lol lol lol That did sound a bit "dodgy" didn't it! Hehe! I'm glad you like it. :thumbs:
Ok, to make it easier, I will post in exactly ONE MINUTE. Be ready...

[SindarinGirl]

It does say the time but I set it up in my personal options to say my time, not GMT (which I know is 5 hours ahead)

[YayBoromir!]

And the question is...

These Hand Soft I'm

Good luck! :thumbs:

[SindarinGirl]

The hands of time

[Illuvatar]

The sands of time! whoohoo

[SindarinGirl]

the sands of time

[Illuvatar]

jeez....we be quick! lol

[SindarinGirl]

Dagnabbit! The stupid thing wouldn't let me repost cause it was within 30 seconds of the last one! Once again, He's using his divine influence! lol

Well done Illuvatar, the best Deity, well the only deity, won. ;)
This is why I'm agnostic. KIDDING!

I should also add that i'm not cookied, and I think that means the threads don't automatically update when the posts are made.
I was robbed! roflmao

[Frodo's Love]

Oh my!!! lol

[YayBoromir!]

That decides it! Illuvatar is the winner! :hooray: :hooray: :hooray:
Congratulations also to our fabulous runner up, quick-on-the-draw SindarinGirl! :hooray: :hooray: :hooray:
