17) Did you give NikiH resume advice in her job search?


(hard)

18.) Do you know what Scrapple is?

23) Can you name any participants in one of the few (if not only) Smack threads ever to be deleted (for reasons other than the size of the thread)?



Please feel free to post more questions, I'd love to see some more. While I've been here a while, I'm sure there are some people here that can dust off some fairly ancient THN knowledge. . .

[REDEEMEDSKIN]

* Why do most people at THN hate Sports Illustrated?

Aside from generally ripping the Skins, Peter King has continued to keep Monk outta the HOF...and that's lunacy.

* Who is "L. Pastabelly"?

Jabba the Hut's third cousin, who also happens to be a sports columnist for ESPN, and frequent buffet patron.

* Which thread is one of the only ever to be deleted from Smack, which was deleted because it was 100-200 pages long?

I don't recall this happening, but I think it involved religion in some way. Maybe it was the Darrell Green thread? I'm stumped.

* Do the names BringThePain!, GeneralFailure, and oafusp mean anything to you?

BTP: Brought it, but then left. Former mod, and owner of the second best avatar (after mine)
General Failure: THN's Fios before there was Fios. Lovingly known as "Eagles Bastitch" (which I'm still trying to figure out...is that french??)
oafusp: Barney from the Simpsons, moonlighting as a Skins fan. Dearly missed (well, his burps, anyway).

* Have you ever written in a political thread that you would stop writing in political threads. . . .and then wrote some more later?*

No, because I know I'm right.

*Where does CLL work, and why is it ironic in relation to the Skins?

Works for brown (meaning UPS, and not that he exchanges services for feces ). It's ironic, cause apparently, for the Skins, what brown can do for them is take a hike, since FedEx is where it's at!!!

* Have you ever participated in a THN gameday chatroom (not the gameday thread)?

I did once. Does THN still offer that feature??

* Who was the winner of HBI?

I believe it was the man, the myth, the bag of donuts, J...B...D. (Does Rob Van Dam finger thumb pointing to back)

* Have you signed the Art Monk petition?

What petition?

* Have you ever conversed with "Rich in Roanoke?"

No, but I like his dog.

* Have you ever heard of "gamby"?

I hear you can use Preparation H to get rid of those.

* Do you know (a) gamby's 'full name' and (b) why it's impolite to say it out loud?

...are you sure you're still allowed to mod after posting the last two "questions". Isn't that flaming????

* Have you ever been mentioned in a 1k, 2k, or 5k celebration thread?

Every single on of them. Honestly, go check them out...I'm in the middle somewhere.

* Which member of THN has posted from about two dozen different countries in the world?

That would be Joe.

* Which THN member had a defense of Art Monk answered in Peter King (or Dr. Z's. . .I forget which ) mail bag?

Next question. (á la Drew Rosenhaus)

* Did you ever have emoticons or formatted text in your signature. . .legally?

All the time. It was the best!!!

* Did you give NikiH resume advice in her job search?

Absolutely. I told her SHE should ask them why that job is good enough for HER!! I'm convinced that THAT is what ggot her in.

* Do you know what Scrapple is?

A mideaval jousting-like contest?

* . . . .were you a participant?

All the time, but I made sure to let the dog out to pee first.

* Multiple choice: JansenFan's first post on the board was (a) an introduction, (b) a minor comment, (c) a smack rant, or (d) spam

d

* Thanks to THN, can you name at least three similarities between Sun Tzu's 'Art of War' and former head coach Steve Spurrier?

* Can you name any participants in one of the few (if not only) Smack threads ever to be deleted (for reasons other than the size of the thread)?

No. Not one.


THANKS, IRN-BRU, for the trip down memory lane.

[Redskin in Canada]

Most answers have been responded to already. I probably do not know the answers to many . But I selected a few I wanted to say something about:

3) Which thread is one of the only ever to be deleted from Smack, which was deleted because it was 100-200 pages long?

I remember that it had to do with a chain of words.

4) Do the names BringThePain!, GeneralFailure, and oafusp mean anything to you?

Bad toothpaste commercials, smack, and burps.

5) Have you ever written in a political thread that you would stop writing in political threads. . . .and then wrote some more later?

Moi? Pas de tout.

14) Which member of THN has posted from about two dozen different countries in the world?

This has been answered already. And this is true.

15) Which THN member had a defense of Art Monk answered in Peter King (or Dr. Z's. . .I forget which ) mail bag?

TC

22) Thanks to THN, can you name at least three similarities between Sun Tzu's 'Art of War' and former head coach Steve Spurrier?

Many. Each and every one that warns against doing something silly or else ...

23) Can you name any participants in one of the few (if not only) Smack threads ever to be deleted (for reasons other than the size of the thread)?

Once upon a time there was a thread with serious threats ... I will not name the names.

Please feel free to post more questions, I'd love to see some more.

OK. Let's see ... What poster typed once:

and yes I'm a nerd

[tcwest10]

Holy Cow.
I'm the answer to a trivia question.
...and to think that my guidance counselor said I'd never amount to anything.

Let's see how long you've been around THN. All of these questions have direct relevance to the board, so you'll know when you know something (if that makes any sense):


(easy)

1) Why do most people at THN hate Sports Illustrated?

Monk.

2) Who is "L. Pastabelly"?

Fat Lenny.

3) Which thread is one of the only ever to be deleted from Smack, which was deleted because it was 100-200 pages long?

I don't recall.

4) Do the names BringThePain!, GeneralFailure, and oafusp mean anything to you?

BTP, former mod...bailed right after he got the job. GF, Iggles...admin at the defunct ConcreteField. OafusP...made mod, bailed.

5) Have you ever written in a political thread that you would stop writing in political threads. . . .and then wrote some more later?

No.

6) Where does CLL work, and why is it ironic in relation to the Skins?

UPS. We play at FedEx Field.

Sure.

(medium)

9) Have you signed the Art Monk petition?

Heard of him? He called me out in a thread in "Smack".

12) Do you know (a) gamby's 'full name' and (b) why it's impolite to say it out loud?

I do...and it's impolite because we don't want to draw him out. He's probably lurking under another name on another computer.

That's BH's bag.

He-Whose-Name-Must-Not-Be-Mentioned, HellHog, BH...I think everybody got into it. I believe it was G-Man's thread.
