IWS #156: Keep On Rollin' (time's up, get off the road)

Cringer · 04-18-2008, 02:56 AM

It just wouldn't be right if I didn't do a trucker related IWS, so here it is.

1. Name a major U.S. Interstate highway.
2. What is the name of a truck stop chain?
3. What is the name of a large trucking company?
4. Name a trucker/truck driving song. (other then Convoy)
5. How many weeks does an OTR (Over The Road) trucker stay out on the road before going home?
6. Name a movie (roughly) about a trucker/truck driving.

PM your answers to me. Deadline is Thursday, April 24th at 9 PM Central Time.

Good luck!

The Rules

The rules are the same as previous FOFC “I’m With Stupid" Contests, as set forth by the game’s widely revered and most truly beloved founding fathers.

The object of this contest is to answer the questions posted, and to provide the most common answer among those submitted. For each question, your score will be equal to the number of people who submitted that response. Your score for the contest will be the product of your individual question scores. Yes, that means they will be multiplied together, not added. Highest score wins.

No collaborating in any way. No posting your answers to this board, nor sharing them by e-mail or in any other way with other potential contestants.

All determinations of "matches" and anything else requiring judgment fall to that of the sole administrator of this round of the game. You can reduce the need for doubt and judgment by properly spelling your submissions, being clear, and that sort of thing. My decisions are final and inarguable. Whining or otherwise making a nuisance of yourself gives me license to reduce your score to zero, and make fun of you and/or your loved ones in public.

Any references that are unclear to you, due to language or geography, should be understood to be authored from the perspective of an English-speaking American. However...

Your answers do not necessarily have to be correct in order to score points. If I ask "what is the best team in the NFL?" and you and fifty other people responded "Oakland Raiders", you each get fifty-one points, period, even if it is not technically a correct answer to the question.

I would say #4 would have been an eliminator question without the loss of Convoy, but instead it may have been the first IWS question to get 100% of the picks.

Pumpy Tudors · 04-18-2008, 10:21 AM

I've never heard of Convoy.

Radii · 04-18-2008, 10:36 AM

I just listened to it. Never again. Never again.

Cringer · 04-18-2008, 01:00 PM

I didn't think this would really be considered hard, uh oh. I think it will be extremely interesting though and after an early 10 entries before I woke up I don't think it is going to be too bad.

Good thing I changed things away from the questions I thought of as too wide open, since these ones may be considered a little wide open themselves.

You can tell these questions were made by a trucker considering he doesn't consider them difficult.

Excuse me for thinking the average person pays attention to what is along the interstate.

these answers are gonna be so scatterbrained

Cringer · 04-24-2008, 01:04 PM

A couple questions are scatterbrained I think. Some more entries would be nice. I think people thinking this is too hard has kept them from entering, and that would be the only regret I have with the questions if that is the case.

Still under 30 entries, a few more would help. It isn't THAT hard.....
