I mean, I've never been near them, but I have heard from people who have, and they STINK. Stink, stink, stink. Sulfur. They smell like Hell.

#7 might be the first question where I've had literally no idea what to answer. Like, no idea what would even be an educated guess. I'm not sure what part of speech the answer would be.

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Tue Oct 11, 2016 11:46 am

At least you can smile when Wlu and maybe a few other people get 1 point on his question and everyone else just gets 6

Pruitt · Post by **Pruitt** » Tue Oct 11, 2016 12:25 pm

#7 is interesting, but Krush Groove? I don't think that even played up north.

Sabo should be protesting this week after his original question was deemed too difficult. Unless..oh god what did they submit first?!?!

What's up with never hearing of Krush Groove? That's crazy.

i'm playing wlulax so i'm fucked

Post by **brian** » Tue Oct 11, 2016 3:18 pm

I've heard of it, but like 99.x percent of the country couldn't give a fuck about it.

I made what I thought was a pretty decent guess but think I was wrong.

Never heard of it, either. And I was young enough then to have heard of it. But, I didn't hear of it. Quite possibly the worst swamp crash question ever. And, I say that mainly because I guessed and found out after submitting that I guessed a wrong answer.

OK so question 7...

"Umbrella for international sports ferderations" -- does that mean that all organizations are international themselves or does that just indicate that they preside over organizations in many different countries?

I'm honestly confused as to what it's asking in general but this is a good place to start.

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Wed Oct 12, 2016 10:03 am

As best as I can tell, they are all international organizations for their respective sports. FIBA, for example. Or the World Badminton Federation.

Basketball and badminton are recognized by the IOC so those would be incorrect answers. A sport doesnt have to be or have been in the Olympics to have such recognition by the way.

Good morning Ryan!

#3 - does "dishes" mean entrees only, or anything that might be ordered off a menu?

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Fri Oct 14, 2016 7:11 am

Any specific item.

rass · Post by **rass** » Fri Oct 14, 2016 7:15 am

thanks

Jerloma · Post by **Jerloma** » Fri Oct 14, 2016 9:27 am

By the way, this is a blatant breech of Swamp Crash ethics. I thought the commissioner would have had the balls to call it out but if I have to, then so be it.

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME NON-OLYMPIC SANCTIONED AMERICAN FOOTBAAAAAAAALLL?!?

12:45ish. Make with the locker room talk in the meantime.

Y'all want to take a girl out for dinner, pay for the meal, take a walk along the waterfront, give her a peck on the cheek and tell her you'll call her in a couple days? Then actually call?

AW YEA YOU DIRTY DOGS. THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT!

RESPECT THOSE BOUNDARIES! WHOOP WHOOP!

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Fri Oct 14, 2016 11:12 am

I cannot begin to tell you how bad my answers seem to be to me. Usually I'll go check and see if I was right on my questionable ones but it seemed like it may be more fun to let it ride.

I'm always amused when I think I haven't sent in my answers, realize that I had, and have NO recollection of writing and submitting them.

L-Jam3 · Post by **L-Jam3** » Fri Oct 14, 2016 11:30 am

I checked my answer for the potential Olympic sport one, and replied verbally "Seriously? [My response] is a potential Olympic sport?" Got a lot of strange looks around the office.

I stayed away from Wyoming because of Yellowstone. I guess all 25 million visitors going there would be a lot.
