He said "Surely I have written better music!"

I want to say the answer to the previous query is Cupid. Yeah, final answer.

[Arrow]

Spinning Blade

What is he world's smallest rodent?

Ball and chain, actually. It was a sick-ass looking thing, but it made him look a little to medieval.

Moose didn't post a new query, so...

Who voiced Dr. Blowhole in the tv series, "Penguins of Madagascar?"

Wow.

Okay, who is the first character in the Metal Gear series to say the word "fuck" in either the JP or US versions, and who was the voice actor/actress? For bonus points, tell me the Squeenix character this actor/actress has voiced in a Final Fantasy Game.

if you had 32 white socks and 51 black socks, and it was put in a bag, what is the minimum number of socks to be pulled out to get one matching pair?

Two. (I won't post a question because I couldn't decipher gracie's)

[Gracie]

Clue then:

---- in --- ----

[Pokey]

still wrong.
you can get w/b or b/w
@ gracie:
---- in the ----?
wait... that leaves 12 letters but only 8 spaces

[Arrow]

still wrong.
you can get w/b or b/w
@ gracie:
---- in the ----?
wait... that leaves 12 letters but only 8 spaces

Hm? You said the minimum. To say that that is wrong implies that no one in a hundred years will ever pull two of one color sock in a row on their first try.

[Pokey]

what i meant was to be sure you would get a pair

[Gracie]

Fixed the jumbled song name, it had one or two letters too many

Yup, ---- in the ---- is right!

[pacdiggity]

Alright, jewels of humanity, I want to update this a little, but...
My laptop's broken and I have very little time to be on the internet at all these days. So, I give permission for Arrow to edit the top post and be the co-curator for this thread. This may seem biased, but he is winning the thread, and he is also a mod. However, I will be checking from time to time to see if I can answer a question and contribute a little. 69 replies in 6 days. Impressive, RMRK.
Adieu.

[EvilM00s]

Acolyte, I am impressed.

So then, since WDP left without a question, I'll go next.
