so what questions are left to answer

See above you anal quiz master you. I actually MC'd a Quiz night one, wrote the questions as well. I even wore a bow tie in my best 'game show host' outfit. All throughout the night this hot looking blonde was looking at me and I was getting a bit hot under the collar and it was getting difficult to concentrate. At the end of the night she came up to me and I gulped thinking I might be in with a shot and she then presented me with a sketch she drew of me. Dang.

There are a couple of incomplete answers above. Still waiting on the Tabloid in Castafiore Emerald and the Villian who stowed away on the rocket.
