After yesterday's Twenty Hints on one of the threads, I was reminded of that old favourite Twenty Questions.
Rules reminders:-
Someone thinks of something/someone and posts a very minimal clue - just the category (person, film title, object or whatever)
Others post questions, to which the answer can only be "Yes" or "No" or guesses of who/what they are thinking of.
Questions are limited to twenty.
If someone guesses correctly within the twenty, they choose the next subject, or nominate someone else to do so.
If not, the answer is given and another subject chosen, either by whoever posted the unguessed one or by someone else who has been nominated.

I'll start it off - A person.

If they keep shooting randomly, WB they will eventually hit the right target.

No. 4 to go. I've just read that one line that the executives insisted was removed, was "I hate to disappoint you, ma'am, but you're sucking my arm."

I'll give you a question back, then, BB. 5 to go.

Was that just before "Excuse me while I whip this out"

Elegran Tue 08-Nov-16 19:29:02

Could well be.

Do baked beans feature in this film? grin

Elegran Tue 08-Nov-16 19:30:32

Yes, ana, prominently.

When they screened it for executives, there were few laughs. The head of distribution said, 'Let’s dump it and take a loss.’ The film grossed $119.5 million at the box office, becoming only the tenth film in history up to that time to pass the $100 million mark.

3 to go. Come on! Is everyone hanging back so as not to have to start the next one?

Wobblybits Tue 08-Nov-16 19:33:40

LOL, go on Ana, go for it

Wobblybits Tue 08-Nov-16 19:34:54

Mind you we could look very stupid if we get it wrong hmm

Elegran Tue 08-Nov-16 19:37:22

Are you afraid I have put up a decoy to confuse you?

Elegran Tue 08-Nov-16 19:38:17

Do hurry up, I can't go and eat until someone gets it.

Ana Tue 08-Nov-16 19:38:46

OK it's Blazing Saddles! grin

Wobblybits Tue 08-Nov-16 19:38:56

Oh I go for it then --- Blazing Saddles ?

I have never seen this film, after reading about it, I must sometime.

Wobblybits Tue 08-Nov-16 19:39:12

Elegran Tue 08-Nov-16 19:39:15

Of course it is, ana! Well done.

Elegran Tue 08-Nov-16 19:39:58

And well done WB too, but you had it yonks ago, didn't you?

Elegran Tue 08-Nov-16 19:41:22

Oh, do see it, WB I think it is probably my favourite film.

Wobblybits Tue 08-Nov-16 19:42:37

I had a few comedy spoof films in mind, Count Basie narrowed it down to one.
