Encore Question November 17th, 2001.
Played at The Frog & Firkin in North York Ontario.
Answers:
Tonight I have the lead running two boards (ROCKET and LITBOX) playing with Dave COITIS, Doug CRANKY, Marla ZIGGY, and Bill MADDOG. My ROCKET box was displaying hyroglyphics the last half hour but was accepting my answers.
My game so far had gone like this: TuneUp...LITBOX...5000/5000...1st/13...3 way tie with CAPER with perfect round. ...........ROCKET...5000/5000...1st/13. OnBeat...LITBOX...10750/14000...1st/13...my boards win this round. ..........ROCKET...10750/14000...1st/13...six right, one wrong, two not answered, and thanks to our team for giving me two of those correct answers...(I've got to read more about current events). JukeBox...LITBOX...15902/20000...2nd/15. ..........ROCKET...15921/20000...1st/15...this board wins round. Triviaoke...LITBOX...22488/28000...this board wins round. .........ROCKET...22435/28000...2nd/15.
So this question would be about rappers? I thought it would be about somebody's real name. Dave COITIS says it will be Dr Dre but that's before the question comes up! I bookmark Schoolly D and Dr Dre.
Encore Question:...Which rapper is Warren G's older brother?
.
.
I'd always meant to draw a family tree to map out the relationships of the rappers and how many were descended from the group NWA but never got around to it. A project never done so now maybe I'll pay for it by not knowing this? We put in answers right away but I read my bookmarks and don't notice the answer is right there, I do try to look up Warren G but am trapped without enough time because the print is so microscopically small. I meant to tip off the COSMO/METLCA/CAPER team as they'd bought me a beer but was stuck trying to find the answer. I only had to decide between 2 and 4.
Correct Answer:...2. Dr Dre
[NTN Extra Fact:...Warren G's debut album "Regulate...G Funk Era" charted extremely well.]
Yeah it made #2 for 1 week during a 53 week run in the charts and sold triple platinum.
My book lists that Warren G and Dr Dre are half-brothers and Snoop Doggie Dogg and Nate Dogg were his childhood friends.
I'm right and win with 33732 and 33653 points. I earn 3000+ Players Plus points for meeting this week's standard of 15000 points.
