I'm not even going to try to tell this joke - much easier to read. Good one.

Fish don't care what size rod you have, either.

It was Capricorn 1. Norrie, I visited the Texas Book Depository building/grassy knoll in Dallas 3 months ago. X marks the spot on the street where Kennedy was hit; I was amazed at how close the shooter's window was - perhaps 100 feet? I always thought Oswald made a difficult shot, but it actually wasn't, as far as I could see. I couldn't help but wonder what might have happened had he lived. Vietnam might never have occurred.

Love it.

The old airport in Denver had a runway that went right over I-80 like that. I recall approaching the viaduct one time and a huge plane crossed over right above me, going very fast. It freaked me out.

quote: Lions are right up there with the Bears for me. Love to watch them in the hopes they will get well mushed by whoever is playing them. Yep. That's how I feel about Chicago, Minnesota, and GB. And Dallas. Carolina Panthers fan??

quote: severus - I am READY for lots of football. Green Bay plays Monday night and since I'll be at work, my sweetie will be taping the game (she is off work on Mondays) so we can watch it after I get home. Can't wait. I'm a Lions fan , but my real allegiance is to my Fantasy team. Last year I finished 3rd of 12. Are you involved in a Fantasy league? P.S. - I went to a minor league baseball game last Thursday, just for kicks. What a bore. Now I remember why I lost interest in MLB. Too many teams, too many millionaires, not enough talent, etc. Plus, the Yankees simply buy their championships. OK, I'm off the soapbox now. Ken

Thanks for the grin.

Unfortunately, true. I lost my dad to cancer a few years ago (smoking unfiltered Pall-Malls for 50 years will do that to you) and often wonder what the Powers That Be did with all that money that they extorted from tobaccco companies. I suspect that lawyers and worthless gov't programs ate up most of it. :mad:

quote: There was a time when I really got in to Nascar, Dale Ernhardt (sp) was the one to watch if I remember right. Does he still race? He got killed at Daytona a few years ago.

Aha! Smoked you out, Newt! I thought you might be a NASCAR fan, in spite of your Grand Prix comment. Actually, lots of folks up here are rabid fans. And that's OK. Are you ready for some football?

quote: Now Grand Prix racing - that one is right up there with golf and curling when it comes to pure excitement watching a televised event. What's this? A Southerner who might not like NASCAR?? I have no idea what could possibly be interesting about 3 hours of left turns. :confused: Except the crashes.

They speak like that in Michigan's upper peninsula too. Lots of Finns and Cornish miners settled there in the 19th century. They sound like the actors in the movie Fargo. [ 13. August 2004, 03:01 AM: Message edited by: severus ]

How about, "Slow Hand"?

No. 11 is a fact. Good ones!

Incredible. A slow microprocessor and little memory. Makes one wonder what we'll have in 15 years, and how we'll look back on today's computer standards.

Kind of tough at first. Helicopter Game

How about bragging rights?

Thanks Newt. I used the old version which always had issues with Gator, the digital wallet used for filling out forms. Apparently Gator uses a lot of spyware.

BTW, there are 9,000 questions in this pool, so no two persons get the same ones on any given day.

No longer. Kleinboet is kicking tail.

Looks like you live a few hours from the coast, Newt. Where do you fish down there?

Probably not. It's better to guess if you don't know the answer.

Welcome to the AN Non-Fishing Forum Trivia Tournament. Members may play once a day and compare scores to see how they did. A tournament starts on the first day of each month and runs until the end of the month. When a tournament ends, the five players with the highest scores get entered into the Hall of Fame, and all scores are reset. Trivia questions are drawn from a general (intermidiate/difficult) question pool, and the subject matter seems to be broad enough that UK members shouldn't have an advantage over US members, and vice versa. Ten questions compose each session, and points are deducted if you take your time, so answer quickly. I resisted the selfish urge to set a History/Geography theme only with great restraint. All you have to do is register and start playing. Click HERE. Knock yourself out.
