Ok, if we're all having another go, what about Woodstock...
Short - stocky 
Oh well, it was worth a try...
*wanders off scratching his head in puzzlement*

*wanders in*
Well... as 'gumption' is often defined as 'enterprise', and given the word 'short' in the clue, I think...
1. Orcus got the right answer first, but spelt it wrong
2. Kelli gave the right reason, but also spelt it wrong
3. Whisky gave the right answer, spelt correctly
You can fight it out amongst yourselves... and then Greebo will give the point to whomever she wants anyway 
Or someone may yet come up with another (better? 
)answer 
*polishes H2IQ Champions badge ostentatiously*
*wanders out again*

Orcus Posted Nov 6, 2002
ah but you weren't specifically mentioned in *that* post
Besides I spelt Forest as in the large body of plants with woody stems... it was only when I went to the imdb that I discovered it was spelt otherwise...

No need for badge polishing...
Trying to get a new one in Greebo's new quiz 
But just in case Greebo is feeling generous I'll just scatter these doughnuts around

Hey - *I'd* give you the point I was just flannelling to cover up for the fact that I couldn't think of a better answer

Personally I hadn't thought of gumption - all I could find were definitions of gump which seems to mean dolt.
Ah well.

Well done Whisky it is indeed Forrest Gump... ~grin~.. and as you were the first one to spell it write... you get the point... but to be fair... me thinks Orcus deserves half a point... for getting in first.... hope thats ok...

I honestly didn't think I'd get a point for that one 
Fine by me giving orcus a half point - he needs all the help he can get at his age 
Thanks Greebo

...and I thought it was *my* spelling that was supposed to be under the spotlight!

No - that's correct - 'm' followed by 'y'. Well done .
