Just a reminder in case it wasn't clear, but you've still got to be the first person to answer the question...

ShaefIllini · 06-24-2004, 09:54 PM

'you know' in spanish is sabes
rearranged = bases

ShaefIllini · 06-24-2004, 10:04 PM

3. Chuck U. Farley

RealDeal · 06-24-2004, 10:04 PM

Godzilla Blitz · 06-24-2004, 10:06 PM

Ding ding ding. That's the football player I was looking for.

Real is correct too.

Godzilla Blitz · 06-24-2004, 10:11 PM

You're correct. Bad question on bovine. Sorry.

ShaefIllini · 06-24-2004, 10:11 PM

ugh..this is over

Godzilla Blitz · 06-24-2004, 10:13 PM

Time's up! A minute or so ago.

Even if we toss the bad question, and give "Al Hill" to Shaef, Real would eek out a victory by four points.

I'm very sorry about the bovine question. Brain fart.

RealDeal · 06-24-2004, 10:13 PM

Woot I'm going to Disney... Um Yeah

Godzilla Blitz · 06-24-2004, 10:14 PM

Final score: Real = 30
Shaef = 24 or 26.

Very impressive final round! For a second there, I thought you were going to get them all.

ShaefIllini · 06-24-2004, 10:14 PM

good job real deal

Congrats! Well done! I thought Shaef had you there when he nailed the five point question at the start.

ShaefIllini · 06-24-2004, 10:16 PM

what were the other correct answers?

ShaefIllini · 06-24-2004, 10:17 PM

real deal getting klayman family did it...i was seconds away from posting it

Godzilla Blitz · 06-24-2004, 10:19 PM

1. January 1st
2. Katon
"NO TAKES" going backwards, but only part of it. Drop the "e" and "s"
7. Coffee Warlord
(Lava, drop "L" and add "J" (the head of a wild card = joker) makes java = coffee, war lord = conflict leader).
9. Grenade. (Danger! Boom! means mix up "danger", add an "e", the head of "Ethereal"

It was real close there. I had a hard time keeping up. You guys were fast.

RealDeal · 06-24-2004, 11:10 PM

Thx, Shaef, you were a formidable opponent.

Raven Hawk · 06-25-2004, 12:15 AM

I gotta give you two the props. All I know is that this contest was extremely frustrating to me in the beginning. Congrats Real Deal! It would be great to see ShaefIllini score a spot on the squad also, for his monstrous effort.

Thanks. Its always nice to get props from a fellow NW surburbanite.

PsychoCop · 06-25-2004, 01:04 AM

all this thinking without any fruitful outcome for me made my head hurt... PyschoCop II is going to sulk and wish everyone gets blown to bits...

Alf · 06-25-2004, 03:31 AM

Congrats to Real Deal : He knows his X-COM history !
