Encore Question of October 18, 1997.
Answers:
Tonight I have the lead thanks to winning the JukeBox and Triviaoke rounds and cowinning TuneUp with MEWLER. MEWLER won OnBeat. I have 19328 and only have to risk 40% to hold my lead on him with 16906. The game was closer than that except it was his turn at the pool table so VADER took over. The answers looked all over the spectrum so I thought it wouldn't be an "all except" question. With 40% on the line:
Question:...What group recorded the album "It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back"?
Well no problem for me (maybe if they'd offered NWA I would have had to think) as I quickly pressed in '2'. The front row of players were sharing the answer but I should be able to win this.
Correct Answer: 2 Public Enemy
I'm correct and win the game with 27059 points (good for 4th on the bar's Hall Of Fame board--I now have the top six spots). Actually five of the seven players were right on this last question (I'm sure thanks to VADER spreading the word). I earn 2000 Player's Plus points and finish 139th in North America while the bar is 760th (tonight about 97% white patrons, what do they know about black rappers?).

DAVETV is up north in Barrie winning at JD's bar. AUSPAT was winning at the LazyLizard. I can see there names on the Network Top 20. These were two players missing from Frog & Firken. It was fun playing with KELLY and MOLSON though.
