Question about today's MQOTD
-
Did I spoil the fun today ? I am asking for future reference so I won't do that again just in case. I wrote the title of the movie when the thread wasn't too long but not in a direct manner. Although I believe it is not that hard to figure it out - did my best to conceal it. This post is not meant as a provocation or trying to be funny, I am genuinely interested.
In it's original form, dating back to "Opera Aria of the Day" [1783-1846], the contestants would try to be first to get the answer. As the genre evolved [qv Which Music Hall? and Silver Screen Deadfall] the better players took to parodying the less informed by using incorrect, or even fabricated, titles that would none the less show they had the correct answer. In its modern form, MQOTD has become more of a conduit for humour, an, if you wish, antidote to the forum quiz. Players now each have their own subtle versions of 'answering'. Be it my childish Carry On references or [yet another] Paris movie, the answers are aimed to please rather than inform. There have even been some classic "I'll give this answer until it's right" approaches; such as Pompey[what ever]'s classic 6 and 1/2 year answer of "The Money Pit". Hope this helps.

I reckon this thread is just self-promotion, because you just want to show off that you got the MQ right! According to the rules, it should be voted as spam!
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
But Shirley! Calling this spam is going over the top, now we'll have to ding you for "Abusive"!

I personally would say 1st guess was superb! 2nd guess, delete the being serious, post it 2 posts later and it looks fine to me
if(this.signature != "") { MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature); } else { MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found"); }

Since you did not say the actual title I do not see a problem.

Thank you, this helps a lot. I am new here so I don't quite get how people will react, that is why I prefer to ask :)
If you're worried just offer people BACON, beer, gin and/or chocolate.

My gin only diet is working very well. So far I've lost 3 days.

With vicious satire, thinly veiled insults, up votes and down votes, whining and .... litotes. I think that litotes is the worst.
Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.
