You and Sans Couth get going cuz I gotta' funny feeling that them Forney Boys are loadin' the Winchesters and sixguns and are fixin' to come outta' FIRIN'! YEEEEEE HAAAA! O-K-A-Y ... well they all wear glasses and are/were bald(ing)! :D Give us a hint, they have too many things in common. And no they do not share the same birthdate and while Dick & Kelsey were both 6'1, Phil was only 5'11.

[CHS_Grad '85]

how about all three were producers of their show??

[Sans Couth]

Does it have something to do with Mary Tyler Moore, a package of cherry jello, and a bottle of chiante'?:eek:

[Sans Couth]

Dick's character was a writer for a tv show.

Kelsey's character was a radio head shrink.

Phil's character worked in news radio.

All of their characters smoke cigarettes and drink heavily. And they have all played in at least one movie with a cast member from saturday night live.

I give up.

[CHS_Grad '85]

Have famous voices... did animations... ???

[Sans Couth]

All in the hall of fame.

[sinton66]

All starred in episodes of WKRP in Cincinati?

[JasperDog94]

They're all "closet" chess players...

[Sans Couth]

They have all played voices of cartoon characters on the Simpsons. But I said that already didn't I?

[District303aPastPlayer]

All of their characters were on the Radio in one form or another.

[Sans Couth]

Have they all played in musicals?

[sinton66]

They've all worn tutus?:D

[CRHSeagle]

I think i got it...

None of those names were their birth names.

Kelsey was born Allen Kelsey Grammer
Dick Van Dyke was born Richard Van Dyke
Phil Hartman was born Phil Hartman
and Howard Hessman also goes by Don Sturdy

I cheated and looked it up.

[CHS_Grad '85]

They all tried out for the MayTag guy role??? (I know I'm reaching now... LOL)

[pirate4state]

I guess we'll have to wait until morning to find out what they have in common! :hairpunk:

[Sans Couth]

On which show did dick van dyke play a radio personality?

[District303aPastPlayer]

The James E Sullivan Award is given to who annually?

[sinton66]

I grew up watching Dick Van Dyke, and I don't remember him ever portraying a radio personality on a sitcom either. If he did, it must have been on one I never watched.

With the Next Trivia Question on this thread...


SANS COUTH you are now on the clock...

[Sans Couth]

OK

Here is an easy one.

Ted and Doug did it four times each in their carreers, but Fred did it twice in one game.

[District303aPastPlayer]

switch hit home run?

[Sans Couth]

NOPE:

HINT: The game is football.

[pirate4state]

score a touchdown on offense & defense?? :D

[Sans Couth]

Originally posted by pirate4state
score a touchdown on offense & defense?? :D

LOL,

Trust me this is much tougher. The most it has ever been done by a single player is 4 times in a CAREER like the question states. But one guy did it TWICE in ONE GAME!

HINT: The guy who did it twice was also an actor.

[District303aPastPlayer]

run for, catch, and throw a touchdown, then return one on defense for a touchdown...

i thought you said this was easy

[Sans Couth]

HINT:

It has nothing to do with touchdowns or running or catching the ball.

[Sans Couth]

And another HINT:

You can only do this while playing defense.

[District303aPastPlayer]

hit a guy so hard they knocked his helmet off and him out

[Sans Couth]

LOL,

HINT: The guy that did it twice in one game played for the Rams.

[CHS_Grad '85]

I don't know... knock someone out or be knocked out by an awesome hit???

[Sans Couth]

HINT: Fred was also a 'cop'.

[JasperDog94]

recover a fumble and make an interception in the same game.

[Sans Couth]

Stop and think about this guys. This player did something TWICE in one game on defense, that is so RARE, that it has only been done 4 times in an entire CAREER by 2 other players.

HINT: It is not a combination of anything. It is something that a defesive player can do on a single play.

[JasperDog94]

Get a safety?

[pirate4state]

Originally posted by JasperDog94
Get a safety? Dangit! This was going to be my next guess. My brother helped me out with the FULL NAME of your player, actor, 'cop' = Fred Dryer. I loved HUNTER! :D

[Sans Couth]

Way to go JD. I was beginning to think you guys were not going to get it.

Jasper Dog you are on the clock.

[JasperDog94]

Pirate, you go ahead. I'm about to head out to the lake for a little bit of fishing.:D

[Sans Couth]

Pirate left

[pirate4state]

What defensive lineman invented the term "quarterback sack"?

[Sans Couth]

Mean Joe Greene?:D

[Old Dog]

was it Deacon Jones?

[Sans Couth]

Originally posted by Old Dog

Probably

[pirate4state]

Originally posted by Old Dog
was it Deacon Jones? Yes, your turn. Are these too easy? My brother got The Ultimate Football Trivia board game and these are questions from that game. :nerd: :D

[Old Dog]

okay.....the old Green Bay Packers had a fullback named Jim Taylor. When he played against the New York Giants, who was the linebacker Jim would go out of his way to attempt to run over?

Hope that question makes sense!

[Old Dog]

Hint; the linebacker played for NY (56-63) and the Redskins (64-67 & 69). He was all pro 3 times and made the pro bowl 5 times!

[Sans Couth]

Sam Huff?

[Old Dog]

Bingo!!!!!!! Your turn

Wow, that was quick. You're up RM.

[Ranger Mom]

How many dollar bills does it take to weigh a pound?

If that question doens't make sense, let me know and I will try and rephrase it!

[sinton66]

I know that each bill regardless of denomination weighs one gram. I think there's something like 453.5 grams in a pound?

[SintonFan]

Originally posted by sinton66

.
I looked that up and your 454 bills looks like a pretty accurate guess.

[Ranger Mom]

453.5 (with rounding) is 454...which in turn is the correct answer!!

Your turn 66!!

[District303aPastPlayer]

[BIG19]

Take

[JasperDog94]

Andrew Johnson

[Sans Couth]

Bill Clinton

Nixon Resigned, but I don't think he was formally impeached.

[CHS_Grad '85]

Andrew Johnson is correct... way to go JasperDog94...

[Sans Couth]

Johnson was not impeached. There were not enough votes.

[Sans Couth]

Going thru Impeachment, and being Impeached are two different things aren't they?

[CHS_Grad '85]

The Senete 'acquitted' him by one vote... but he was impeached...

[CHS_Grad '85]

Originally posted by Sans Couth

I would have to agree... they are two different things...

[Sans Couth]

He wore #44 in peewee, he wore #44 in high shcool, and he wore #44 in College, but Pete Rozzell told him he could not wear it in the NFL. So he added Pete to the long list of folks that could kiss his butt. He used to write oposing coaches names on his socks and shoes, and he was a rebel when Ray Lewis was still in diapers. Who is he?

[mwynn05]

illegal is the law written as a statute. Unlawful is the action thAT IGNORES that written statute.

[Sans Couth]

That is the best answer yet.

YOUR turn.

One of my favorite ways to describe it is like this.

Marijuana is an Illegal substance, it is illegal to posses it, and unlawful to smoke it.:D

But I don't have a good question right now, after I answer it.:D

[Ranger Mom]

So what!! I never have a good question regardless!!

[Sans Couth]

Ok, I will answer it so you can go watch TV.

The answer is Jack Abernathy.

That's right.....oh, btw....I moved my TV watching post. I posted it in the wrong place!!!!

[Sans Couth]

[Sans Couth]

If you remember, Kim Darby spoke pretty much the same lines when she was talking to her horse with 4 white feet, in the John Wayne Classic, 'True Grit'.

[sinton66]

This should be a little tougher than normal. Back in the day of Marco Polo, by what name did westerners know China?

[Sans Couth]

Middle Kingdom?

[sinton66]

No, it was a "proper name", not a regional thing.

[Sans Couth]

Well you are supposed to tell me that it was a good guess anyway.:D

[sinton66]

Oh, sorry......I didn't read the script .:D
BTW, read your pm's, I sent you a funny!;)

[Sans Couth]

Was it one of the Dynastys?

Like the Chin Dynasty?

[sinton66]

No, it was a proper name like China, but an earlier one. Remember, this is what westerners knew it by.

[Sans Couth]

South Mongolia?:D

[Sans Couth]

Buddhaville?

[sinton66]

Heh, heh.....no. You're getting better though.;)

[mwynn05]

I know i know this but i cant think of what it is

[Sans Couth]

How about EruoAsia?:D

[sinton66]

I'm sure you meant EuroAsia, but still incorrect.

[Sans Couth]

I was just thinking like EuroDisney.

It was a lame attempt at humor.

[sinton66]

I guess I should've :D , I knew you were being humorous.

[sinton66]

Need a hint? There's an eastern airlines by the same name, flying to Taipei and other points. (Not THE Eastern Airlines).

Actually, Marco Polo refers to it in his book. Christopher Columbus also mentioned it.

[Gasilla]

[sinton66]

No, different airlines. (Much smaller carrier).

[Sans Couth]

I think I found it in my dictionary of all places.

Is it Cathay?
