Saturday Snapshots #92 - The Answers


It's A Beautiful Day. You're at Home. You're Feeling Good. There's a picture of Michael Bublé on your computer screen and you're trying to pretend you're so cool that you don't even know who he is. Stop trying so hard to be cool and embrace the Bublé. You know you want to.

It was a full-on battle between Charity Chic, Lynchie and Walter first thing yesterday morning. Lynchie looked set to take the trophy with 3 points to CC's 2 and a half... until a last second equalizer from CC clinched the draw. Thanks, as always, for playing.

9. Outdoor Master of Ceremonies: what a weirdo!

8. Repetitive soup and shrieking sycamore wish the day away.

7. Outlaw sweethearts find stardom with pudding & pie.


Georgie Peorgie, pudding & pie, kissed the girls and made them cry.

Stardom is fame.

6. Pre-arrival dessert.

Here's a question for you.

Why does it take him and hour and a quarter to get to work, but three hours to get home?

5. Hot rumours block authority.


Hot gossip, obviously.

1. Prince's house is the Pitts. All things must end.


Prince lived at Paisley Park, but not with Brad Pitt.

Congrats to Chris for getting "the hard one". (Although Mr. Paisley is a favourite of mine.) I'll have a dig around for some Toby Keith in future week, just for Lynchie. Who says I don't do requests?

This video must be watched right until the end... for the full Hoff.



Saturday Snapshots will be back next week. Michael Bublé may not be.

  1. Many thanks for another fab quiz - and don't feel obligated to seek out anything by Toby Keith as I am decidedly NOT a fan.

  3. Woo! These were really tough this week, Rol. Well done. The Style Council was the only one I got the first look through, and the photo was no help at all except to validate my guess.
