Does #2 include premium channels, or just basic?

Just basic cable. Or at least that what all the answers are

sancarlos · Post by **sancarlos** » Tue Jun 30, 2015 1:36 pm

#8 - to clarify, you mean a #1 overall draft pick? (The first pick in the whole draft).

Yes

For 10 do you mean Series winners or individual Race winners?

Man, who do you have to blow to get a good seed around here?

You'd probably get some offers if you were a bit better looking.

In so far

SLolz

No doubt. I hear that every day.

But I figure this seeding thing has to be at least partly based on willingness. I guess being ranked 13th out of 16 seems a pretty good representation of my situation. This makes me look at the guys with the high seeds in a new light. I used to think it just meant you were smart. I guess this a new thing, based on the Supreme Court ruling on marriage.

Just to be certain, #9 we're talking about the capital city's name is in the last 10 by alpha, and not the state, right? Like Zzywax City, Alabama would be a correct answer.

Haaaaaaa ... and I can't delete. And I over-explain one in the best possible way.

Was it the roman numeral one? Because that one made me laugh enough that I would hate to think I missed something funnier.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 10:42 am

Yup, that was it.

Bensell · Post by **Bensell** » Sat Jul 04, 2015 7:48 pm

I completely worded the Roman numeral question wrongly from what answers I was originally going for so this may be the widest range of answers in SwampCrash history

Shooting for a Monday reveal still but we need some more answers. In so far:

SLolz
Ryan
chedda
sancarlos
wlulax
Carwash
Herm
Pruitt
travzilla
rush
duff
DC47
Kelly

I spent the entire weekend trying to figure out what the Roman numeral question was asking for.

DC47 · Post by **DC47** » Mon Jul 06, 2015 2:14 pm

I knew this was about former Rams QB Roman Gabriel. But I couldn't recall exactly what number he wore.

Bensell · Post by **Bensell** » Mon Jul 06, 2015 2:24 pm

Can't do the reveal until tomorrow but there is a clarification on question four about news channels not counting as well as sports types. I sent the people who answered news channels a PM/email to give them a chance to change their answers

And I still need answers from:

Jerloma
PDX
bfj

I would respond further but your security guards just kicked me out of the parking lot because of my bumper sticker:

18

(It's nice to know that random data like uniform numbers from my childhood will remain in my brain until I die.)

Many times, I remember numbers by associating them with the player who wore that uniform number.

howard · Post by **howard** » Mon Jul 06, 2015 7:10 pm

Of course, still remember phone numbers from pre-cell phone days by player names.

Just got home from helping my uncle vaccinate some cows so I'm going to shower and eat a quick lunch and then the reveal will begin. Still don't have PDX or bfj's answers so they got about 45 minutes to get them in.

As long as you can sleep at night after giving those cows autism.

Fuck. I was thinking of Notre Dame too with ML Carr and some douchebag that they've had over the past 80 years in football.
