Read the rules before you play. Newbie questions that are out of turn are DELETED.

One person asks a Trivia Question about AYBS? The person who asked the question approves the answer and then the person who answered correctly is "up" to ask a new question. Read a few pages of old posts to get a "feel" for how we play this game.

Stick to questions and answers on AYBS? only here, please. No fill in the blanks questions. We appreciate challenging questions....not "what's Rumbold's first name" type stuff. All questions are subject to edit/removal at my and the staff's discretion. If a question is ridiculously easy or we don't think it's trivia at all, we'll let you know. No off topic bantering within this thread. If you have comments to make about the game or the rules or the posts, do not post them in the thread as this disrupts the game. Off topic posts have always been removed from this game. Lastly...if you're not a moderator, do not attempt to moderate this game! Thanks! ~~Tids ;)

I'll begin...

Name at least two of the musical tributes made to Old Mr. Grace in one of the series' most memorable eps.

I know there are 2 possible answers for this one because I have heard some talk.
