John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten) tells the Today programme's John Humphrys about the aims of punk rock, his "direct assault on mediocrity" and why we will never see Sex Pistols: The Musical.
Flagship news and current affairs program features an interview with Johnny Rotten and he calls Humphs a "Silly Sausage".
Most entertaining news of the morning.

Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?
Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.
I'm not crazy, my reality is just different than yours!

Quote: he calls Humphs a "Silly Sausage".
I love it - did Humphs laugh? Was it a poorly prepared question (unusual in my experience for him)?

It was actually a very good interview. Humphs was asking Johnny about 'selling out' for the butter adds and that's when he called him a silly sausage.
|
|
|
|

I missed out on the butter ads, having emigrated 19 years ago ... but I seemed to remember Johnny Rotten calling Pete Townsend a sell out for "not dying before he gets old".
I'd never expect anything less than perfection from Humphs!

Slightly amusing. I'd never have recognised him.
Thanks for the link Richard!

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.

Rules[^]
The console is a black place

|

|

I read the rules, I want feedback from the people reading and contributing to MQOTD.
Was it too soon, was it too clear, is it perceived as just a link to the title or the title itself etc.
Because there must be a border between rule #4 and #5. Which one would my reply be?
A breach of #4 or conforming to #5 ?
I just do not want to spoil other people's fun and being quite new to the lounge I prefer to ask about this.

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!

It is not meant as self promotion, I don't mind if it is voted as spam and deleted.
I just wanted to know if I misunderstood something.
|
|

But Shirley! Calling this spam is going over the top, now we'll have to ding you for "Abusive"!
|

Me?!? Abusive?!?
Bollocks!

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");
}

Thank you for your response, I am new here so that was the kind of answer I was looking for

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.

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.

With vicious satire, thinly veiled insults, up votes and down votes, whining and .... litotes. I think that litotes is the worst.
