Haha. Judging by the love song entries, we're getting Dylan for a guest riffer. At least three of them have been his.

Haha, asking if it was Benton (http://www.rifftrax.com/smf/index.php?action=profile;u=2731), was a very odd choice.

Where did they get the idea that the guest Riffer was related to Willy Wonka some how?

Thank the maker for this running tally. After the last 40Q I'm not wasting my time reading twenty-some pages of nonsense inflating an imaginary penguin's ego. Remember when 20Q used to be fun?

yeah, thats kinda why I jumped the gun on that Crispin Glover guess... figured I'd keep things moving instead of debating endlessly, plus it seemed to fit the clues. Last week felt too long in my opinion, like sharky said this is supposed to be fun.

... don't get me wrong however, I do think it is fun and the rule changes seem somewhat necessary now that we have such predetermined questions. However, the mod hints are well appreciated on the harder puzzles.

I think we've gotten 20 Questions down to too much of a science to be a lot of fun for the movies, and it just doesn't feel like a reasonable way to get answers for people. I realize the mods can't spend ten hours making a huge, elaborate game for us to slam our heads against a wall playing, but it would be cool if there were some other sort of forums games mixed in sometimes.
