The Quinto Coño Christmas Quiz!

[elQuintoConyo]

Here ye, here ye!

Day one of my Christmas Quiz

All welcome, sadly no prizes - except a smug smile and a pat on your own back

I'll post one question per day until Christmas Eve.

So, grab yourself a festive drink and snack of your choice and keep away from Google!

Bets of luck

18b tamagochi maybe? I was in 6th form and was too old for that but had a Rubik's cube before that.

I don't know the song, but was the toy a Transformer?

InTheCludgie is right, Cabbage Patch doll I wasn't a fan!

And TrickyD yes with Janice and Jen. I love that song. It's the first I put on when it's officially Christmas.

I've been wrapping today, feeling very excited!

A friends mum loves Cabbage Patch dolls, when her DD moved out she used her old room to display the collection. There were dozens of the things, including a tiny baby one which sat in its own car seat and which I found highly amusing

I would have been 8 during the Cabbage Patch doll mania. I don't know whether it was my perception, but it seemed to be mostly adults going nuts for it and no child I knew wanted one. Our main reaction to them was WTF

Now, Garbage Pail Kids stickers were much more our thing!

Yes, I was 9yo, I don't remember anyone having one.

Question 19:
The surname Chandler derives from the making of selling of what?

And as a bonus for my tardiness (this is becoming a habit!), a bonus question:

How did Good King Wenceslas like his pizzas?

Candles

The old jokes are always the best Quinto!

Deep and crisp and even. (The Pizzas)

I love cracker jokes.

Bother, late to the party!

Only an hour and a half after I posted drspouse

I must choose a question tonight and post it as soon as I wake up tomorrow!

¡Buenos dias Christmas amigos!

A doozy of a question today

Question *20:

What modern tradition was accidentally started by an advertisement for Sears department store in Colorado in 1955?

*How the frack did it get to be 20th?

I send Spanish solidarity hugs to those in the UK, having Christmas family festivities cancelled

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer?

Hi LunaNirth nearly, but not quite.

Robert L May write the story for Rudolph in 1939 for a department store called Montgomery Ward.

Those American shops, eh, giving us these fabulous traditions

NORAD’s Santa Tracker?

Feliz Navidad, Quinto.

Don't have a clue but am looking forward to hearing the answer, sounds interesting

NORAD! Googled that a few years ago when I was following the sleigh on my old desktop.

My goodness, TrickyD is quick! Think you should rename yourself MrChristmas!

Yes, NORAD!

We were watching the 1983 classic War Games with Mathew Broderick yesterday, set in Cheyenne Mountain Colorado, and at NORAD, so I idly googled... And lo, there came question 20

As an aside, for any doubters of whether Die Hard is a Christmas film....

according to the director it is

Shoot the glass!

Thanks for that link elQuintoCoyote - a recent thread was quoting Bruce Willis as saying Die Hard isn't a Christmas film but I'd think the Director has the final say on that one!

My other favourite non-Christmas Christmas film is Trading Places! Dan Akroyd dresses as FC for an office party and tries to eat a whole salmon through his beard

It's the final countdown! Just five questions left!

Question 22:

In the children's Christmas favourite Jingle Bells, who is "seated at my side"?

For an extra elf point:
"Nadolig Llawen" means Merry Christmas in which Western European language?

Miss Fannie Bright, whoever that is.

Welsh?
