Inspiration Turn 8 -> 9

[undyingking]

These are the questions for A trapeze artist hanging by her teeth:

1,Dr Seuss and Edgar Degas have both depicted which sort of circus performer doing what?
2,In a painting by Edgar Degas the eponymous "Miss La La" is not a ballet dancer as one might expect. What is depicted?
3,What did John Major see as a child that he said made him decide to leave the circus and make his way in the world?
4,What is depicted in the painting 'Miss La La at the Cirque Fernando', by Edgar Dégas (as seen in the National Gallery)?
5,What kind of girl just can't say no?
6,What was the last image I can remember from my most recent dream?
7,Which circus speciality act features in 83% of [info]undyingking's sexual fantasies?

Not as many as usual -- was it particualrly tricky, or just a badlyt-imed deadline? (Or are you bored now...)

These were the setters:

bateleur
brixtonbrood
cuthbertcross
jiggery_pokery
liriselei
mooism
undyingking

Deadline is 3pm Tuesday, and as usual anyone can vote and score points wether or not they submitted a question. And, as before, nominate which one you think is mine, and also your favourite.

Reflecting from afar, points for the coolest question are a very good idea. They discourage (to some extent) copying the original question - which in this world of Google is a very good idea.

Yes, sadly Google is a big killer of fun in this game compared with playing it around the table. There've been a couple of turns where no-one's managed to duplicate the original question, but it's quite difficult finding something that's verifiably true, that when reverse-Googled comes up with a number of possibilities, but that isn't trivial. This turn it looks like quite a few people have gone for the favourite vote, but I guess that can only be worthwhile for those who don't rate their chances of convincing others that their question is mine, as you can get a lot more points that way.

Vote: #1
Favourite: #7 for effort and predictability. I also think it's a bateleur question if ever there were one.

in a separate comment so's it can be unscreened:

Not as many as usual -- was it particularly tricky, or just a badly-timed deadline? (Or are you bored now...)

it was rather a hard answer to come up with a question for, for those of us who hadn't heard about the painting or John Major's childhood and didn't Google !

i'm certainly not bored yet, but then am enjoying the thing more from the aspects of creative-thought-prompting and expanding my general knowledge than i am interested in the game/scoring aspect...

the aspects of creative-thought-prompting

This is what I think is most interesting too, particularly coming up with things that other people will vote for.

4.

[dr-bob.livejournal.com]

I'll pick the John major option (no 3) as yours, with no 5 a clear favourite.

[mooism.livejournal.com]
