STANDINGS

REMINDERS

Through W16, each set of questions will include 4 Swamper-submitted questions (2 sports, 2 other)
All questions in W17 and the playoffs will come from me
I'll post questions here and email them to the group. Make sure you don't reply to all if answering by email
For your own questions only, you may "cheat" and submit any answer you want
Correct answers get a score equal to the number of people who said it
Wrong answers get the value of the highest-scoring correct answer +5

Man, there's at least one question with a serious cultural bias against people who don't have kids.

Fuck Disney and his greedy, frozen ass.

Jerloma · Post by **Jerloma** » Mon Sep 15, 2014 9:41 am

I didn't realize they had economy resorts at Disney World.

Johnny Carwash · Post by **Johnny Carwash** » Mon Sep 15, 2014 10:36 am

Want to make sure I'm reading #6 correctly--does that include guys who played in a World Series before 1989, but managed their first one after that date?

Yes, or did both after 1989

Also, further clarification that on Q1, I'm looking a country that borders the small one and not the small one itself

govmentchedda · Post by **govmentchedda** » Mon Sep 15, 2014 10:54 am

In, and nailed them. All one pointers.

In to only Ryan this time.

Bensell · Post by **Bensell** » Wed Sep 17, 2014 10:14 am

In via PM since my email has been so unreliable lately. But keg would have murdered me last week anyway - I had 7 of the highest scoring correct answers and the only good answer I had was what would have been a 1 pointer for Xavier.

In. And, as a kind of corollary to the "movies we've never seen" discussion, even though I've read many books, none of them were written by Stephen King. And I've seen none of the movies based on his books (but at least I've heard of them.) So, yeah, I guessed on that one.

I named the only Disney resort I could remember for that question. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's the most common.

I have a love/hate relationship with that question. Having just stayed on property, I looked into all of them. I could name almost all of them, but have no idea what classification any fall into. I also have no idea if Deluxe is the best, or second from bottom with a Super-Ultra Deluxe and Mickey-tastical groupings.

Jerloma · Post by **Jerloma** » Fri Sep 19, 2014 9:19 am

I'll be there shortly.

No clue. West coasters don't go to Orlando Disney, they go to Anaheim.

Regarding the hockey question, if a franchise relocates, is it sill considered the same franchise?
