Encore Question of September 17th, 2005.
Played at the Frog & Firkin in North York Ontario.
Answers:
Tonight I'm playing with two boards as ROCKET and LITBOX with Rob COSMO, Sean METLCA, and Richard BERGIE giving us the minimum five boards to rank our bar.
My game so far had gone like this: TuneUp...ROCKET...4000/5000...4th/5...LITBOX, METLCA, and COSMO co-win round. ..........LITBOX...5000/5000...1st/5. I split on two answers and get one answer wrong with a few good guesses. OnBeat...ROCKET...11000/14000...4th/5...COSMO and METLCA win round. ..........LITBOX...12000/14000...3rd/5. 7 right and 2 wrong was pretty good although the leaders went 8 and 1. JukeBox...ROCKET...16354/20000...5th/5...COSMO wins round. ...........LITBOX...17354/20000...3rd/5. We got the categories we wanted. Triviaoke...ROCKET...21658/28000...4th/6...my two boards win round. .........LITBOX...22658/28000...3rd/6. I took about 2 -250s in this round, the guys saving me about two more -250s but costing me one.

Now the Encore answers come up. What's this? I only know one of these...
Encore Question:...What was the 1997 debut album of Missy 'Misdemeanor' Elliot?
.

I don't know this. I've said before the question was asked that "This Is Not A Test" is Missy Elliot. I say that's the only one I know...then I have to take it back because I recognize "Under Construction". Now what? I say I'll go with '1' because it's one of the only two I recognize. I don't know if the others are real albums or not. I actually own "Under Construction" but I wasn't even thinking that came out in 2002.
Correct Answer:....2. Supa Dupa Fly
[NTN Extra Fact:...The album included "Da Rain", "Sock It 2 Me" and "Beep Me 911".]
Nope none of us got this. Strange that earlier in the week by flipping through BET, there was a ranking of listeners Top 5 Lil' Kim videos and one of them was a compilation of about four artists and there was a young and thin Missy Elliott. I didn't bother to look up in my music book who was the main artist in the video but that might have got me to read through album titles.
It turns out the answer I chose was the worst of them all as it was the most recently released of the five listed. Still it's the only other one I could remember and even I must have known that 'Under Construction' was not her first album.
I'm wrong and stay in 3rd as LITBOX at 11329. I finish 280th in North America. The bar is 1421st. METLCA wins the game as he only risked 40%. I earn only 1500+ points for not making this week's standard of 17000. [ntn.com moved our bar up to 170th out of 1569 bars with an 11577 average]
Here's how the rest of the bar did: Player preEncore Final Rank ntn.com rank COSMO 23334 x 11667 270 1267 METLCA 22899 x 13740 224 998 LITBOX 22658 x 11329 280 1324 ROCKET 21658 x 10829 295 1417 BERGIE 20646 x 10323 311 1562 INKA 693 x 347 9663 5899 [ntn.com listed 6093 players]

One Simpsons' question which I didn't know but one of them knew halfway through.

...........LITBOX...13639/15000...1st/9...1000+ points...I'm 50th in NA...bar is 18th in NA with a 13160th average.
I won't be playing until at least Thanksgiving; (relax, that's Canadian Thanksgiving), three or four weeks as the CPSL soccer league has a few Saturday night games as play intensifies before the playoffs. I'll have to rely on someone from the Playback message board posting the Encore recap or my own page will be out of luck.
