Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. SOWISA is one of Scott's acronyms from 'Lisey's Story'. What does it stand for?

Answer: Strap On Whenever It Seems Appropriate

"Strap On", I think means, get it on...it seems to be whatever you're expecting won't happen, so just deal with it. I love some of the thoughts and ideas in this book.

2. In 'Lisey's Story', Scott had arranged for Amanda to go into a nursing home suitable for her passive semi-catatonia before he died. What was its name?

Answer: Greenlawn

Lisey was amazed to find out that Scott had gone to all that trouble five years ago and never told her...

Answer: Sam the Lion

This book will surely make you want to see 'The Last Picture Show', so I'll tell you that 'Sam the Lion' is played by Ben Johnson. Hamish the Hamster belongs to me, and likes to appear in quizzes...

4. Lisey drives a BMW in 'Lisey's Story', but what is 'Zack McCool' driving?

Answer: PT Cruiser

Lisey and Zack pass on the road after he's put the dead cat in her mailbox. Experienced Stephen King fans will recognise the wrong answers from 'Christine', 'The Shining' and 'Cujo'

5. 'Zack's' email address is Zack991 at Sail dot com, but what does Professor Woodbody think his name is?

Answer: Jim Dooley

That is the name that Professor Woodbody knows him as, but there's no reason to think it's his real name any more than Zack McCool was.

6. What was the name of the bar where Professor Woodbody and 'Zack McCool' sat and complained about Lisey, calling her Yoko and moaning about how she was hanging on to Scott's stuff?

Answer: The Place

What an imaginative name for a pub! Woodbody goes there because it reminds him of his blue-collar father. Sweet!

7. In 'Lisey's Story', what's the name of the town in Germany where 'everything that can go wrong does go wrong'?

Answer: Bremen

Scott and Lisey are not happy in their draughty house, but for some reason they bring the bed back with them...

8. Scott and Lisey were married on November 19, 1979. What 'riff on a Winnie the Pooh title' did they hand-letter on their souvenir matchbooks?

Answer: 'Now We Are Two'

A 'riff' on 'Now We Are Six'. If you haven't read it, along with 'Winnie The Pooh', 'The House at Pooh Corner' and 'When We Were Very Young', go and do so! All the original animals are in the New York library - set them free to come home!

9. Do Scott and Lisey want to have children in 'Lisey's Story'?

Answer: No

Sitting under the 'yum-yum tree' Scott explains that the Landons and lunacy go together 'like peaches and cream' and he doesn't ever want to pass it on,

10. Where is Paul, Scott's brother, buried in Boo'ya Moon?

Answer: Sweetheart Hill

Paul goes 'bad-gunky' so Scott tries to take him to Boo'ya Moon to cure him but can't. So his Daddy shoots Paul and Scott takes him to Sweetheart Hill and buries him.

11. It's made by Oxo. It belongs in the kitchen. Scott had called it 'Lisey's yuppie-church key'. It's got 'heavy-duty rubber handgrips'. What does 'Zack McCool' use to mutilate Lisey?

Answer: can opener

I really don't even want to think how he used it....

12. What's the brand of beer bottle Lisey puts under the Maine Loon license plate to help her focus to come back from Boo'ya Moon?

Answer: Maine Wolf

Maine Coon is a sort of cat, so I don't think a brewery would like the jokes about what it tastes like! Victoria Bitter is a great Australian beer and Strongbow's the (alcoholic) cider I drink. Perhaps a US quizzer could let me know if Maine Wolf is a real beer and if it's good?

13. 'Zack McCool' was killed by Lisey with the silver spade. True or false?

Answer: False

Scott's 'Long Boy', 'Freddy' ate him alive after Lisey hit 'Zack' with the spade. A thotoughly nasty end for a thoroughly nasty guy!

14. What did Lisey and Amanda drink when they got back from Boo'ya Moon?

Answer: Romanian Brandy

Lisey suggests making hot chocolate but Amanda wants brandy. It was something given to Scott and tastes vile. They decide to get out without the hot chocolate.

15. Who's the Country and Western singer that Scott worshipped, mentioned several times in 'Lisey's Story', who is singing as Lisey and Amanda drive away?

Answer: Hank Williams

Whether he's singing 'Jambalaya', 'Honky Tonkin' or 'Kaw-Liga' in 'The Last Picture Show', Hank is a recurring theme...Hope you enjoyed the quiz - only one more to go!
