Official late-summer Sheep thread (Week 11 questions, page 26)

Re: Official late-summer Sheep thread

Hey, I did ok!

 

Re: Official late-summer Sheep thread

Me too, except for the F-ing Giants.

 

Re: Official late-summer Sheep thread

I think I had the top answer for the first 5-6. Then it all went downhill.

I did laugh at "that big-ass airport" for Atlanta. I'm glad I didn't go with my original answer: "Me."

 

Re: Official late-summer Sheep thread

I'm guessing this week will be dropped by the majority of people. I can't see even the highest scores being all that high.

 

Re: Official late-summer Sheep thread

For what it's worth, the answers I had in mind, which would have been pretty bad:

1. Name a sport that people don't pay much attention to except during the Olympics. Gymnastics

2. Other than bananas, name a yellow food. Squash

3. Name a game everyone plays as a kid. Candyland

4. Who will represent the National League in the World Series? Nats

5. Name something associated with Atlanta. Coke (never would have predicted Braves would run away with it)

6. Other than journalism, what's a career that might require someone to work nights, weekends and holidays? Cop

7. Name a band with a color in its name. Maroon Five

8. Name a famous Ted. Bundy

9. What was Michael J. Fox's most memorable role? Marty McFly

10. Was the Penn State penalty too soft, too harsh or just right? Eh. I don't really have answers for these last ones.

 

Re: Official late-summer Sheep thread

I guess I did OK sucked again -- 101 out of a possible 137. My one-point answer on the Olympic sport is what killed me the most. My other one point answer (profession that works nights, etc.) didn't hurt as bad because of how spread out the answers were.
I need to stop having one-point answers ... then again I said that last time we did this.
I think I need to sit next to IJAG and copy her answers next time.

 

Re: Official late-summer Sheep thread

We'll always have Alex P. Keaton.

 

Re: Official late-summer Sheep thread

I actually thought of putting your name down. But just wasn't sure enough that others would, so I went with Braves.

 

Re: Official late-summer Sheep thread

Um, Joe, check your math ... I've done your score a few times and keep coming up with 108.

Re: Official late-summer Sheep thread

You have him as Marty McFly, but he said earlier he put Alex P. Keaton, and he's counting himself with APK points. That would account for the seven-point difference.

 

Re: Official late-summer Sheep thread

Ah, good call, IJAG. He put them both down but crossed out McFly, which apparently confused me. Bah. That literally changes EVERYONE'S score. Give me a minute to sort this out ...
