Stupid quiz
STUPID QUIZ! For all those who have been waiting for a ridiculous quiz created by an idiot over a couple of months during the middle of the night whilst trying to get his daughter to sleep, your time has come! The rules are simple: 1. Guess the name of the chit-chat regular from the pictures. 2. Show your working (see example below) 3. One guess each (for now at least) 4. No guessing yourself or you will be eaten by a grue 5. Bonus points if you fail to recognise yourself. Disclaimer - Some of you chit-chat regulars have been fortunate enough to escape being mentioned in this quiz, but beware, there will be more 3AM screaming and I may get you next time! FAQ Q - This is ridiculous, why on earth did you do this. A - I was tired (a lot) and unable to do anything other than google image search with one hand as I had a baby in the other. Q - I am terribly offended that I am/I am not in this quiz and I demand you stop it immediately. A - Tell that to the Third Degree! Q - Most of these make no sense and often aren't even people's proper forum names! A - Guilty as charged. Example:  Inn - Tents - Degree = Intense Degree (I will now be eaten by a grue).

Number five is a Car Jack and Al Gore.
I haven't seen Cargore for a while but it's good to see him being remembered.

5. Jackal
Car-JACK + AL Gore. Wouldn't have figured it out if it wasn't for our dear Step, as I had no idea what that tool was supposed to be. I thought it was some kind of hydraulic pump. (Also figured out the one for Step and some others, but only one guess per person.  )-

Well, I know #7, but I don't get the whole picture, so I'll go with #11, the easy one!
It's of course the loony queen herself, Jazz + (Sahara-SA (South Africa)) = Jazhara(7)! (I'm still trying to develop a fancy way of why the 7 is also implied - wait, of course! There are 3 characters in the first picture, and then the word "hara" has four characters, which in total is 7! )Also, for the clarification, are those whales on the last pic of RLacey, which would make it R+Lace+Sea? Ooh, I cracked more, but I'll leave them for the rest, as others so gracefully have too Quote:

Hmmm..
19. (Squaw- ? ) + Ink + Key = Squinky I can't quite figure out which metal you might be referring to here...I thought you might be using an element with the abbreviation "Aw" or something, but there's none that I know of that uses it.  -
