laffite Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 O.J. Simpson Next: admitted he/she was not good at crying on cue Clues like this transform the exercise into a trivia thread. It's meant to be an association thread, isn't it? Should be general clues that can associated with a certain actor, whoever leaps to mind. That's the fun of it. Two cents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawrenceA Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Clues like this transform the exercise into a trivia thread. It's meant to be an association thread, isn't it? Should be general clues that can associated with a certain actor, whoever leaps to mind. That's the fun of it. Two cents. I find that if someone leaves something too specific, and nothing jumps to mind, then just make it up, the sillier the better. At least you'll get a chuckle out of it. admitted he/she was not good at crying on cue.

Okay, nuff said ... had to get this off my chest. Sorry for the intrusion. no mas I don't see why the thread had to be disrupted. For instance there were plenty of actors/actresses that could be associated with not crying on cue or having scenes on a boat or a ship. Also in my opinion it seems counter-productive to complain about veering too much into trivia when this is in fact a Games and Trivia forum. I don't mind it when someone is too specific and I can't answer...it makes me eager to return to the thread later and see what someone answered, since I might learn something from them. Moving on... Dragging a stole: this reminds me of an episode of 'The Lucy Show' so I will say Lucille Ball. Next: a performer with a hyphenated surname Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
