Non-stop stupid facts quiz! (keep it going!)

I'll pass since I have two other quizzes waiting for bright ideas.

Open to the first wierd and wonderful question from anyone....

Tom

 

Okay, I'll take up this one.

Who wrote under the nom de plume "Gertrude Perkins"?

 

I've heard this alias before, but can't place it at the minute. :bang:

 

Edmund Blackadder (the third)?

Tom

 

Got it, over to you for the next one Ossian.

 

Well done Simon. I knew the name was familiar to me, but I don't think that I would have remembered though.

 

OK, please tell me the nickname (either one will do) for:

2nd Platoon, G Company, 3rd Regiment, 1st MI division

Tom

 

Roughnecks?

 

Keep going on that line -- you've got half the name

 

Rough Riders?

 

leathernecks?

 

No, I think Oli has it, but a couple more details needed to make sure it wasnt a lucky guess. he needs to add more to his answer, not change it

Tom

 

Rico's Roughnecks!

Fleet does the flyin',
MI does the dyin'!

 

Hey! I was about to say that!

 

Well, I'll admit, I had to ask a co-worker. I could picture the scene in my mind, but the only name I could come up with was "Jester," and I knew that was the wrong movie!!! :lol:

 

Well done, Tom!

Rico's Roughnecks (formally Rasczak's Roughnecks) from Robert Heinlein's classic "Starship Troopers" -- not repeat NOT the Hollywood massacre of it!

Tom (the other one)

 

Okay, on a slightly similar theme, what movie did the call-sign "Savoy 6" come from? Extra credit if you can tell me who "Savoy 6" was.

 

The Green Berets.

 

Battlestar Galactica

Comander Adam? (cant remember the exact name)

Tom

 

Sturm Tiger has it!
