Back from the great snowy north, and in honor of today’s release of the season four DVD set, here are the answers to the Son of House Trivia Quiz!
If you have not taken the quiz, do give it a try — and then come back here for the answer key. Oh, by the way — remember in “Fetal Position” that House wanted to kayak with orca in Johnstone Straits? Well, I didn’t quite kayak there — but we did see orca off of Vancouver in the straits. That was my big “House” moment of the week. That and watching Casablanca! (I couldn’t help myself hearing House talking to the spore-ridden Ali about Victor.)
Product Placement
1. Favorite bottled water brand in the diagnostics department: Fiji water (mostly)—you can tell by those square bottles.
2. House’s energy drink — comes in an orange and blue bottle: NOS (but the label was changed to ONS — trademark issues?). He also likes other energy drinks; that particular episode, no one could seem to figure out what he was drinking; the the other day, I saw it in our local grocery store. Also, ever notice that when he’s played poker (both times) he does not drink alcohol, he drinks an energy drink instead while everyone else drinks? Check out “All In” and “House v God” to see what I mean.
3. House seems to go nowhere without his; Wilson has one too: iPod, or as Gabriel Wozniak called Wilson’s in “Son of Coma Guy,” “ip-odd.”
4. House listens to his vintage vinyl on this: His expensive twin Sota turntables.
5. House is a one-brand man when it comes to guitars: Gibson (personally, I play a Martin). He has them in all varieties: Flying V, Jumbo acoustic, his old eighth grade guitar (which I think is a “B-25” model like I had in high school), and his Dobro (which I think is also a Gibson model).
6. The one with the ginormous scrape: His beloved Honda Repsol racing motorcycle.
7. Amber was never far from her mobile phone (before she died, anyway): Treo (Carly in "Control" had one as well, which Chase said his MRI could take in a fight).
8. The laptop of choice these days ‘round PPTH: Macs seem to be in great favor. Perhaps House needs his for “Garage Band” and to match his iPod.

The fourth object House has juggled is his cane, in "Half-wit".
Wonder where all your loyal followers have gone... probably busy watching season 4 on DVD.

Righto, buds. I have no clue where my loyal (and very dear) readers have gone. If you see them tell them that I miss them--and that they should stop by.

Barbara, I love the second quiz. Thanks! I'm finally catching up with all I've missed. I love the tidbit about the crucifix. I wish they did include that in the episode. It explains a lot for me.
6 - Barbara Barnett
Thanks, Ann. I had a great time putting this one together. I'm slightly sad that not as many people had a chance to play.
I have several of the shooting scripts and they are filled with all sorts of things that never saw the light of the television screen.
Thanks for playing!

I hope you'll share many more of the "never saw the light of the television screen" moments!

This was very fun, like the last one!
Lot less alternative answers this time, but I believe I found 2, though of course I could be very wrong:
In the "House-isms" section, number one: "It's not what you say, it's what you do" Pretty sure Rebecca in the pilot said "That's not what people say, it's what they do" and of course Tritter told House "I have never been interested in what you have to say, it's what you do". So prehaps both answers could be acceptable.
And, for the last sectionon House's toys wouldn't his cane also be a thing maimed by a cruelly mischievious Wilson (when he filed through it)
Oh! and on the clinic patients with "droopy wood", I man in (I think) season one who was referring to his penis in the third person came in looking for Viagra and of course Richard in Cane and Able (S3) but neither one of those called it droopy wood as myron did...
I don't mean to be picky! Thanks so much for the wonderful quiz!!

in the section "Patience with Patients" #1, the patient with lupas is Flynn the magicion from "You Don't Want to Know", not "whatever it Takes"
