[Roderick Usher]

premature burial....My computer keeps freezing on me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[_____V_____]

Very close, NE. Entombed while still alive was in Cask of Amontillado, but in House of Usher it was burial.

I am afraid Rod gets this one. Premature Burial was the common theme in both.

[Roderick Usher]

being imprisoned or entombed while still alive?

he was right... I totally came in second

[neverending]

Very close, NE. Entombed while still alive was in House of Usher, but in Cask of Amontillado it was burial.

I am afraid Rod gets this one. Premature Burial was the common theme in both.

Aren't we just talking semantice here?

:rolleyes:

[Despare]

Well I stand corrected.

Technically, NE gets it. Both stories feature almost the same theme he mentioned.

Sorry Rod.

[Roderick Usher]

Well I stand corrected.

Technically, NE gets it. Both stories feature almost the same theme he mentioned.

Sorry Rod.

nothing to be sorry about. without fair play we are animals;)

[Despare]

And now NE with anotherone which gives him a quick two after that judgement call by _V_. Last question folks...

[neverending]

Well I stand corrected.

Technically, NE gets it. Both stories feature almost the same theme he mentioned.

Sorry Rod.

Why not give BOTH of us a point?

[Roderick Usher]

gotta go...the wife needs the computer

[_____V_____]

The last question of the night, folks...is...

4) The first substantial vampire fiction that approximated a novel was a long running serial (popularly known as a “penny dreadful” or a “penny blood”) published between 1845 and 1847. When finally compiled into book form, it stretched to 868 pages over 220 chapters.

What was the name of this Gothic epic?

[_____V_____]

Why not give BOTH of us a point?

You got it earlier than him. And it was correct too.

No worries, he ll pick up soon.;)

[neverending]

[neverending]

Fabulous contest tonight! Thanks to V and Despare for providing another great experience!

Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the soundtrack- though we had a hasty exit by nearly everyone towards the end.

I'l be late for the next round- probably miss the whole thing, actually, but I'll set up a script to run the music.

[_____V_____]

WTG, NE.

Totally deserving I must say. Rod had some real tough luck tonight though.

Catch you with the next one, folks!

[Disease]

Damn, I just couldn't stay up late enough......

I have to head to the dentist now, which is why I ended up flakeing last night.

[newb]

Good going NE. Some tough-ass questions in that round.

I don't see why using google would be a concern...people who know the answer are going to beat people using google everytime.
