OogieBoogie also scores 4, stunning me with his recognition of the clay pot as a coconut. Actually, I can see it. But still wrong.

Uh, yeah...well, it looked like it could've been either a coconut or an old-timey explosive. Besides, what kind of pot has a rounded bottom?

[Big T]

Stupid school keeping me busy... ah well, i'm pretty sure i'm doing better than last game and it's far from over yet...

[Storm_Rider]

Darn this next round, I cannot wait anymore, damn my time-zone, almost 2 AM where I'm from, I hope I won't get too low in the rankings, have a great round and power to ya StarOpal.

[PoolMan]

All right, my stalkers, it's time for...

Round 7 - FIGHT!

1) a tiara. Not a crown. A tiara. (I'm feeling pretty!)
2) an abnormally sized human
3) talking animal(s)
4) special footwear
5)
(an easy one!)

There you go, my little basset hounds, sniff 'em out!

[StarOpal]

1. Princess Diaries - at the end she wears a tiara

2. Big Fish - The giant Ewan Mcgregor befriends

3. Babe - Babe and the rest of the farm

4. Elizabethtown - The great shoes that ain't

5. Monty Python's The Holy Grail - It's one of their shields

[TheOogieBoogieMan]

1- Mean Girls; the Prom Queen tiara that Lindsay Lohan breaks.
2- the Princess Bride; Fezzik
3- the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe; the beavers, the wolves, etc.
4- Flubber; the super-bouncy basketball shoes
5- LOTR: Return of the King; there were a bunch of shields in that movie

Ok, my attempt at extra points: the shields in picture 5 belong to Sir Galahad (the white one with the cross) and Sir Bedevere (the blue one in the bottom left corner). Does nerdiness get you anything in this game?

[Lordmoon]

1 - Miss Congeniality - The movie had plenty of them.
2 - My Giant - One of the two stars of the film.
3 - Rat Race - The cow called out for help when it was smacked into the bus while hanging from a blimp.
4 - Batman & Robin - Just click your heels to convert these lovely shows into a pair of ice skates.
5 - Well since the correct answer was taken I will say Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - The old night wore those colors and symbols and I'm pretty sure he had that shield as well.

[Lonestarr]

1. Mean Girls (Cady broke it up and gave it to others)
2. The Princess Bride ("I'm on the brute squad.")
3. Snow Dogs (Ted's dream)
4. Cinderella (glass slippers are special, aren't they?)
5. Monty Python and the Holy Grail

[mrshady]

1) I know what you did last summer - beauty contest

2) Poltergeist - the little psychic lady

3) Doctor Dolittle - All the animals

4) wizard of oz - ruby slippers

5) Braveheart - lots of shields in battles

[starwenn]

1. Sleeping Beauty - Flora, the head Good Fairy, gives Aurora/Briar Rose a gold tiara towards the middle of the film.
2. Wizard of Oz - The Munchkins
3. Care Bears Movie - The title characters and their "cousins."
4. The Red Shoes - 1948 British ballet film; young woman recieves title gifts that causes many, many problems.
5. Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves - You occasionally see shields in battle, given the era the film is (supposed to be) set in.

[blinkfan]

Darn,I missed it again.

[Cant Neverwhile]

1) Hair spray. The auto-show queen at the end.
2) Mini-me from Austin Powers 2
3) The nifty penguin from Fight club. "Slide"
4) The shoes that Wallace invents in "The Wrong Trousers"
5) The new "King Arthur"...that had shields in it...

[varana]

1. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Marilyn monroe asks how you open one to fasten around her neck, and is delighted when she learns of yet another way to wear diamonds.

2. Freaks. Pretty much all the cast.

3. Stuart Little. OK, it's a puppet, but it's stil a talking animal, right?

4. The Man with One Red Shoe. A guy with one red shoe is mistakingly targeted by the CIA

5. Ivanhoe. Plenty of shields in there.

[PoolMan]

Well... that was certainly... interesting. What the heck just happened? A 2 point score? Four latecomers? StarOpal loses 10 points? Read on!

The Score!

StarOpal loses 10 points. Nanners! Nah, I'm just kidding. She gets a perfect 7 for first around the post and for correctly spotting the Holy Grail shield.
OogieBoogie asks for and gets 6 points. Of COURSE nerdery is rewarded in this game! And it's really too late to make a difference now, anyways...
Lordmoon wakes up from his nap and scores 5. Seeing as he was the favoured contender to take StarOpal out four rounds ago, one wonders where he's been!
Lonestarr tries out for the team, only to score 2 points. Repeating not one, but three previously given answers! I think that's a new record! But good practise, keep at 'er!
Finally, MrShady snags a 5 point performance, cuing me to wonder where he's been too.

And to the latecomer crew (Starwenn, Blinky, Cant Neverwhile, and Varana), you'll just have to set the clocks a little earlier next time. Show some dedication, StormRider stayed up till 2am to try and play! (although why he didn't just go to bed and get up when I said the contest was on is beyond me!)

All right. Enough burns. Forgive my mood. Here come...

The Standings!

StarOpal 39
Lordmoon 23
OogieBoogieMan 21
StormRider 20
SpiderDancer 15
MrShady 12
HeadMutant 11
Magill 10
Big T 9
Lissa 9
Vorlina 6
Blinkfan 4
Lonestarr 2

Well, is it a done deal? With an 11 point span to go, will StarOpal cross the finish line first? Or will PoolMan start getting up in the middle of the night just to be SURE he's not posting at a time convenient to people in his own time zone? (answer: hell no)

Stay tuned!

Drat!

Oh, and you said "afternoon/evening", that's a preety wide hour interval. Now if you'd guarantee a post within a known interval such as 5-8 server time or something like that, then I could wake up extra early to play, but I know that's preety imposibile.
