dwdq | WE HAVE RETURNED

What's that, you say? A quiz emerges from the shadows of the past? To which we say, INDEED!

Here's the skinny, everyone. The current global situation has everyone on edge. Millions confined to quarters, working from home. Stress everywhere. Dire news everywhere. Challenge. Disruption. Worry.

Sometimes you need to step back, take a breath, and smile, or laugh. Embrace the humorous. Embrace the absurd. Take a dose of comedy in between your regularly scheduled doses of Everything That Is Not Comedy.

That's where we come in.

Starting this Tuesday, we will be posting a wee quiz. Six questions, no more, no less, except when it is more or less. Your simple task is to answer these six questions. The latest quiz will be found at https://dwdq.dreamwidth.org/ for your consideration.

BUT WAIT!

Your not-so-simple task is to answer these questions, not necessarily correctly, but rather with wit and humor and whatever wacky funny thought is running through your brain at that particular moment. It may be related to the question. It may be related to the answer. It may not be related to anything at all.

You have four days.

The following Monday, we will select the funniest answers for all the questions and post them up for everyone to see. This helps start Monday, the least funny day of the week, off with a bang. Read the answers. Have a wee laugh. Have a bigger than wee laugh. Laugh until you wee. Whatever works.

The day after that, we start the process anew.

For more details on the rules and procedures (what few there are), the details can be found at https://dwdq.dreamwidth.org/profile.

Tomorrow we'll post a few samples from Quizzes Of Days Long Past, to give you a taste of what to expect.

Stay safe, stay well, and most importantly, stay tuned; the best is yet to come!

Ooh, yay!

Glad to see some of the old timers still around!

I wasn't funny ten years ago, and I will remain unfunny now!

germankitty

YAY!

Can't wait!

And in best LJDQ tradition, have a picture or two:

Also, note to self: update/create new icon!

The best part is, it's been yeeeeeears, there's a whole slew of new memes and quotes and what not to apply to today's quizzes! A new decade has dawned! Bring on the GIFs!

Oh, definitely!

(Just FYI, in the intervening years

i_calql8 and I have met in person. Several times. We're getting along even better than before. Be afraid. Be VERY afraid! Mwahaha!)

Holy crap, I totally forgot, I was going to Germany for vacation this month except of course I cancelled it. When I reschedule I need to find out where you are!

And you'll be very welcome -- or I could meet up with you somewhere. :-)

But as it happens, the Hubster and I will be in New York City for a 4-day weekend in mid-September (provided all travel bans have been lifted by then, of course). Wanna meet for a coffee, or something?

That would be awesome! If all travel restrictions are lifted and things are mostly back to normal, I am always in NYC in September. Bring it on!

Cool! I'll let you know in time; flight and hotel are already booked, so it should be easy to make arrangements. Fingers crossed we won't have to cancel!

It's true, we have, both in my old home in the AZ, and in the Retirement Batcave in my new home of WA.

And after having met multiple times, I can say, with reasonable certainty, that *tosses down gauntlet* I'm funnier. :P

Prepare for quotage, punnage, and pwnage, my dear! Mwah hahahahahahaha!!!!

I pity the fool that don't know how to use the Internet!

Did the same thing...my LJ took me to here, where I forgot to sign in before posting. Good thing I hit Preview first before Post.

b_hulsmans

What's this? Have I stepped into a time warp? The LJDWDQBBQ is back??!!!!??

*cue the old lady from Titanic*

"It's been 84 years!"

One the one hand, it's only been 6 years, but really, 6 is like 84 in Internet-Years. A lot has happened since then.

Welcome back! See you real soon, OLD TIMER

germankitty

Ah, puns--the original social distancing...
