Task Draft:TraceyL's Task - No More Jockeys
No More Jockeys is a YouTube series created and hosted by comedians Tim Key, Mark Watson and Alex Horne. It is based on a game they invented nearly twenty years ago which was originally called No More Women. They play over Zoom and upload episodes every Friday to their YouTube channel. It started off as something fun for them to do during lockdown, and has since gained a large following of lovely, dedicated fans, of which I am one.
On each turn, players name a person plus a relevant category – that person and category are then forbidden. If you're caught naming someone who falls under any previous category, you're out of the game. For example, someone could play Tom Hanks - No More Actors. From then on no player can name another actor, and if they do, they lose the game. The game gets more and more difficult as it goes on, and since the players are all stand-up comedians, the categories can get quite weird.
This is a 2 book task. Pick two options below, and read one book for each option.
Option 1: Penelope Pitstop - No More Job Gloves
The Wacky Racers cartoon character Penelope Pitstop first appeared in Set 1, Game 5 of NMJ. She quickly became a staple of the game, and a mascot for player Tim Key. She is usually played with the category "No More Job Gloves," meaning no more people who wear gloves while at work. This category has led to many arguments about what can be considered a job, whether or not they need to be paid, and in a great NMJ moment, the question "Does a fork have a job?"
Read a book with a job in the title or subtitle. For the purpose of this task, a job is a profession or hobby that someone could make their living doing. The job does not need to be the main character's profession. Magical jobs such as Alchemist are allowed.
Examples:
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight (Knight)
The Watchmaker of Filigree Street (Watchmaker)
The Tattooist of Auschwitz (Tattooist)
Option 2: Mary Magdalene - No More People Who Haven't Said "Hello" in the 21st Century
Intended to rule out anyone who had died before the year 2000, possible loopholes for this category include people who don't speak English, or people who don't speak at all.
Read a book first published in 1999 or earlier. Required: State the year the book was first published.
Option 3: Brian Cox - No More Names Without Repeated Letters
Many categories revolve around the spelling of the names given. Other similar categories include No More Double Letters, No More Names with 3+ Vowels, and No More Names 10+ Letters Long. Mark Watson tends to play a lot of these categories.
Read a book by an author whose entire name does not have any repeated letters across all of the name parts. Each letter appearing in their name must be unique. For example, if the letter A appears in their first name and again in their last name, that author cannot be used.
Examples:
Tim Key (Host of the show and accomplished poet.)
John Scalzi
R.L. Stine
Option 4: Oscar (the statuette) - No More Solid Gold Legends
When Alex Horne mentioned in Set 1, Game 8 that the beer he was drinking had the phrase Solid Gold Legend written on it, Tim Key was determined to make that his next category. He was able to name two people, C-3PO and Oscar the Oscar, as examples of solid gold legends.
Read a book that was adapted into a movie AND that movie won at least 1 Academy Award (Oscar). Any of the academy award categories count. If a movie is inspired by multiple books, you only need to read one of them. The movie does not need to be an accurate representation of the book, as long as the book is mentioned as inspiration on Wikipedia or IMDB.
Required: State the movie adaptation title, the year it was released and which award it won.
Examples:
Forrest Gump (Forrest Gump, 1994, Best Actor)
Jurassic Park (Jurassic Park, 1993, Best Sound)
Who Censored Roger Rabbit? (Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, 1988, Best Visual Effects)
