Rockbusters

[joannajewsom]

Any Karl Pilkington fans here? How about we get a game of Rockbusters going?

[Elston]

I just google'd Rockbusters and it sounds hilarious. I'm down. Though I don't even fully understand how it works. Care to get the ball rolling?

[joannajewsom]

Great! Here's how it works. One person gives a cryptic clue and some initials of an artist or a band, then someone has to guess what artist it is.

Here's a classic Rockbusters clue:
"I was in Texas, and fell down in a puddle." The initials are WH.

Wet-knee Houston

Another one would be:
"Better than the average homeless person." The initial is S.

Supertramp

As you can see, Supertramp works perfectly and Whitney Houston doesn't, but both kind of clues are welcome. The more you have to twist the word to make it fit, the funnier it is. Here's a youtube clip of Karl Pilkington twisting the words to an hilarious end

After you answer, you can throw one back to me, or anyone who cares to join in. Here's my first clue:



"It's his 18th birthday, and he's lost all sexual inhibition."
The initials are RN.

[Elston]

Hahahahahahahha.

Is it Randy Newman?

lol

[joannajewsom]

Yeah, you got it.

It's much funnier when Pilkington does it.

Okay, here's a couple for you:

1. What an Eskimo lovingly referred to his schlong as. (RJ)
2. Subterranean fabric blues. (VU)

And after listening to 3 hours of Rockbusters last night, I came up with one that is far more Pilkian.

3. It is well known that their honey tastes biblical. (Z)

[Elston]

Doesn't look like anyone is getting the answers and/or playing, so here they are:

1. What an Eskimo lovingly referred to his schlong as. (RJ) Raw-bert Johnson (get it, Raw, they eat food raw, cuz uh, heh..damn it's hot in here)
2. Subterranean fabric blues. (VU) Velvet Underground
3. It is well known that their honey tastes biblical. (Z) Psalm-bees (get it?!)

[joannajewsom]

Dude, those are classics! For some reason, I didn't get a reply to topic e-mail.
Zombies! Hahahaha. That is up there with some of the worst/best Pilkington clues.

Here are three clues for you (or anyone who wants to play):

1. That Christmas decoration is made out of 100 dollar bills.
Initials: AF

2. He was the only one in the monastery.
Initials: TM

3. If you want to toss that aircraft over there, you're going have to pay up.
Initials: JT

I fear these are fairly easy.

[Elston]

2. Thelonious Monk (bahahaha)
3. Jethro Tull (lol! so random)

I'm having trouble with the first one, but give me a bit more time. By the way, these are genius. well done. Number 3 is particularly bad.

[JohnnyRocketFingers]

Ok i'm new to this but i'll try it out: ("The" is left out of the initials if it is in the beginning. For example: The Beatles would be B)

1. Person in need of an inhaler.
initials: W

2. They collect no moss
initials: RS

3. County supposedly didn't torture
initials: USOA
