Encore Question of August 10th, 2002.
Played at The Frog & Firkin in North York Ontario.
Answers:
Tonight I'm playing with Rob COSMO/CAPER and Sean METLCA at a table as my friends at the bar weren't there when I got here at 8pm. We are in the lead with me holding fourth and fifth place.
My game so far had gone like this: TuneUp...ROCKET...4500/5000...1st/12...CAPER, METLCA, COSMO, and my two boards had the lead. ........LITBOX...4500/5000...1st/12. OnBeat...ROCKET...11500/14000...3rd/11...CAPER and METLCA win round. I have 7 right, 2 wrong. .........LITBOX...11500/14000...3rd/11. JukeBox...ROCKET...15999/20000...4th/11...ZIGGY wins round. .........LITBOX...15999/20000...4th/11...parallel fingers! Triviaoke...ROCKET...22469/28000...5th/11...METLCA wins round. ........LITBOX...22469/28000...4th/11.
So the answers come up and we're wondering what they could ask. This could be rough although I feel better sitting with Rob and Sean when it's a modern rock question than with my own group.
Encore Question:...What band hit it big with the 1996 album "Yourself Or Somebody Like You"?
.
.
Our table all know the answer. I own this album. We have so much time to spare I said "I'll tell them" and trot over to the bar. "I own this, does anyone NOT know the answer?" Groans from everybody. "Tell Us", "What Is It?" I hear. Now that I tell them we should have the top nine boards get it right.
Correct Answer:...1. Matchbox 20
[NTN Extra Fact:...The album contains their first big hit 'Push'.]
I'm right and hold my position at 4th and 5th with LITBOX at 33732 and ROCKET at 33703. I'm 20th and 21st overall in all North America. The bar is 7th in North America with a 34728 average. I earn 3000+ Players Plus points by meeting this week's standard of 17000. METLCA wins and is 11th on the Network Top 20.
Here's how the rest of the bar did: Player preEncore Final Rank NTN Top 100 METLCA 23357 35035 11 28 (11th on NTN Top 20) CAPER 23109 34663 13 33 COSMO 22673 34009 18 45 LITBOX 22488 33732 20 50 ROCKET 22469 33703 21 51 MARKEE 16979 18677 4036 ZIGGY 15871 23807 2398 CRANKY 14514 21771 3048 MADDOG 13735 20603 3421 KIKI 9306 x 4653 8514 SQUID 8503 x 4251 8642
I've outsmarted myself reading the soccer schedule and didn't realize their was a special Cup game tonight or I would have driven out to Oshawa tonight instead of playing. Oh well I get to show off a picture of myself on the cover of 'Inside Soccer' magazine. They also published an interview I had with Canadian National Team and Under 19 team player Candace Chapman.
Other games:...I start the evening with 2,329,000+ points for ROCKET (and 254,000 for LITBOX when I sign on just before the Playback game starts).
8:00pm...Countdown...13582/15000...1st/6...1000+ points...I'm 13th in NA...bar is 31st.
