"Brisco County Jr." - Socrates Poole Quiz

Answer: Removes his tie

Brisco commends him for doing it, at which point Socrates also calls out that he is starting to make up nicknames for people and proceeds to call Brisco "Brisc." However, I don't remember him ever using that nickname again in future episodes.

Answer: Lays them under the mattress

We find this out in the episode "Brisco for the Defense" where, due to a mortician's convention being in town, he and Brisco have to room together. Brisco finds out that some of his other annoying habits are gargling, blowing his nose and snoring.

Answer: Soc

Socrates is named after the classic Greek philosopher, but Brisco has a hard time remembering his name when he first meets him. He calls him Aristotle (who happened to be born 15 years after the real Socrates died), Sophocles (an ancient Greek playwright), and Euripedes (another Greek playwright). Brisco blames this on failing Greek philosophy 2 years in a row at Harvard. Once he does learn his name, he makes up a nickname for him.

Answer: Iphigenia

Their mother liked to read Greek literature. Iphigenia was the daughter of Agamemnon, leader of the Greek forces at the battle of Troy.

Answer: Yes

Socrates proves he is a poor aim in the episode "Bounty Hunter's Convention" when he tries a round of target practice. It's a good thing his aim is off, too, because someone had tied Lord Bowler behind one of the targets!

Answer: Slots

Socrates is supposed to be watching the sheriffs that are after Dixie (Brisco's girlfriend) for robbing a stagecoach, but he gets obsessed with the slots instead. At the end of the episode, one of the "coming things" is Gambler's Anonymous!

Answer: Bull

Socrates has to care for a bull named "El Magnifico" who is a gift being sent to Madrid, California, from its sister city, Madrid, Spain. It is the King of Spain's bull, so the animal comes along with an liaison that expects the very best for the bull and is very hard to please.

Answer: Yes

He has an intimate affair with (who else) his secretary. Unfortunately he finds out to late that she is working for the wrong side of the law. Later on, she breaks out of jail and becomes obsessed with him.

Answer: False

Unfortunately, the army has too many inside conspirators on their side for him to get them out. They are sentenced to death and would have been killed before a firing squad if not for Professor Wickwire and his rubber bullets.

Answer: To pass gas

Socrates tells the group that he had tagged along to "pass gas" and Bowler asks him "Isn't that something you're supposed to do by yourself?" He didn't know at the time he was talking about the ship (a.k.a. Blimp).
