HINT: He is from Tennesee

That would be correct.

[sinton66]

Really? That was a wild guess.

[Sans Couth]

I figured the Tennesee part would give it away. But that was a good guess.

[sinton66]

Okay, what was Cornelius Swarthout's claim to fame?

Nope.

[District303aPastPlayer]

well, i shall call him Mr. Waffle Maker, because that is what he invented.

[Sans Couth]

He may have invented the waffle iron, But it was the waffle iron that brought us the Nike Track Shoe. And that is a much better claim to fame in my book.:D

[District303aPastPlayer]

[Sans Couth]

B I N G O and Bingo was his name O.

[sinton66]

correct.

[kaorder1999]

yall ask some interesting questions....hehe...i cant get that creative

[Sans Couth]

That one was easy 66. I am a huge Cracker Jack fan.

Trivia question.

How did Cracker Jacks get their name?

[kaorder1999]

i didnt know it so i looked it up and it took a while for me to find the answer...thats a hard one...

[sinton66]

According to legend, after the original inventor invented a process that kept the molasses from sticking together, he gave some to a salesman who exclaimed " that's crackerjack". The inventors liked that and copyrighted the name.

[kaorder1999]

no...he said..."Thats a Cracker Jack..."

[Sans Couth]

I am going to give it to Kaorder, just because I want him to ask the next question:D

1896 - Legend notes that the name "Cracker Jack" came into use when a customer or a salesman, who tried the Rueckheim product, exclaimed "That really a cracker - Jack!" Actually the words "cracker jack" was a slang expression on those days, meaning "something very pleasing." The brothers loved the name, and had it copyrighted. Their slogan was "The more you eat, the more you want" was also copyrighted that year.

[sinton66]

okay, but from www.crackerjack.com:

1896 Louis Rueckheim, F.W.'s brother and partner, discovers the process for keeping the molasses-covered popcorn morsels from sticking together. Louis gives the treat to a salesman who exclaims, "That's crackerjack!" "So it is," says F.W. Rueckheim, who then has the words trademarked.
:D:p

give me one sec...have to fin a good one

[kaorder1999]

i found this...

Cracker Jack first appeared, according to the official company history, at the World's Fair in Chicago, 1893, offered up by creator F.W. Rueckheim. The name came along three years later when, according to legend, Rueckheim's brother Louis gave the confection to a salesman, who proclaimed, "That's a Cracker Jack!" The brothers agreed, patented the name, and a brand was born.

[kaorder1999]

Coca-Cola debuted in Atlanta’s largest pharmacy, Jacob’s Pharmacy, as a five cent non-carbonated beverage. Later on, the carbonated water was added to the syrup to make the beverage that we know today as Coca-Cola.


What was Coca-Cola originally used for....?

[Sans Couth]

Cleaning battery posts?:D

Actually it was used as a stimulant I believe.

[kaorder1999]

well...crap....what i found migh tbe what you just answered but im not sure

[kaorder1999]

stimulant isnt exactly what i was looking for...guess again...

[sinton66]

Well, the original formula did contain cocaine, which is what gave birth to the legend about not taking aspirin with Coca-Cola.

[Sans Couth]

OK, how about Morphine Replacement.

The Methodone of the 19th century.:D

[sinton66]

If I remember correctly, i think it was originally marketed as a nerve tonic.

[kaorder1999]

I FOUND THIS......

Coca-Cola was originally used as a nerve and brain tonic and a medical elixir.

OK, I am gonna guess that it is a trick question then

Dice don't have numbers, they have dots.

[Sans Couth]

But the dots add up to seven.

[Ranger Mom]

I'm confused!!!

An ordinary standard die is a regular cube with its six sides numbered with dots from 1 to 6. All opposing sides adding up to 7.

[sinton66]

Actually, I think it is seven, the trivia site I got it from said six, but that CAN'T be right. RangerMom, you're up.

[Sans Couth]

six would be impossible :D as would five,

[Hupernikomen]

I didn't know I get to post a trivia question on here for getting the one right the other day because it was my first post on this thread so.........


After the current question is answered you guys can answer my question, which is:

What does hupernikomen mean?

[Hupernikomen]

They both won the triple crown in 1937.

Medwick for the Cardinals and War Admiral for Mr. Riddle.

Joe Medwick was the last NL player to win the Triple Crown BTW.


Now on to my question...

What does hupernikomen mean?

[Hupernikomen]

I guess I should wait on bullfrog..oops sorry.

[Phil C]

Hyper it means more than conquerors or super conquerors.

[Phil C]

If I happen to be right when do I get to ask a trivial question. I don't know the rules here. We need to be updated. :)

[sinton66]

If you know you're right, you can ask one now.

[Hupernikomen]

that is close enough phil...now how did you know that?


I learned that word in my Greek class in college..

Romans 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.

Hupernikomen =we are more than conquerors.

(pretty cool sounding word to me and I like that one word means so much)

[Old Tiger]

how do you pronounce it?

[PhiI C]

Thank you Hyper! I just happened to have heard it once in my college english class of all places. Now that I am right Sinton 66 when you I get to have a turn at asking a trivia question? :)

[Hupernikomen]

how do you pronounce it?? well pronouncing koine greek is a lost art, but I think it is pronounced ....


huper--rhymes with super
nick
o (long)
men

The nik part is the same root as nike shoes which means victory.

huper is our hyper (above normal)

omen is the 3rd personal plural ending of the verb nik.


Anyway ask the next question :clap:

[Phil C]

Thank you Hyper. It has been so long since I heard it pronounced but I think you are correct. I am waiting to get the word from 66 to have permission to ask my question. :)

[sinton66]

You answered correctly, go ahead.

[Phil C]

Ok! Thank you 66. Of course some of you probably know what is coming. In the movie Dawn at Socorro with Rory Calhoun and Alex Nicol at the first part of the movie Alex Nicol fails to aid his adopted family in their shootout with Rory Calhoun. Why did he fail to do so?

[Old Tiger]

he got caught up in a bind?

[Phil C]

No Old but keep trying!

[Old Tiger]

he was driven away by the anger?

[Phil C]

No Old but keep trying!

[Ranger Mom]

Should we postpone this question until at least one of us has seen the movie??

I rescued this thread from the second page, so at this time, I don't think anyone is gonna guess the correct answer!!

[sinton66]

We could take wild guesses at it, I suppose. Here's mine: He didn't join in the fight because he didn't know those were his kinfolks at the time?

[PhiI C]

No 66. Those were his adopted family and he knew it. But Ranger Mom has a point. If you want to go ahead to another question until after the opportunity for those to see it on TCM on June 24 Th at 8:30 A.M. I will postpone my question till then but reserve the right to ask it on June 25 late since I will be out of town that week till late Friday night. Of course Sans knows the answer and if he wants to answer it and you both wish him to I have no objections. I will let it be your call. But it is such an obvious answer you will kick yourself for not trying that guess.

[PhiI C]

Since a lot of you have not seen the movie (which I hope you correct on June 24) I will give hints which should give it away. Remember Alex Nicol is a gunfighter. The gunfight is at the first part of the movie and takes place early in morning. And don't guess oversleeping and lazziness because that is not correct. Surely this is a giveaway now. I am giving these hints to be fair to those that haven't seen the movie so the game can move on.

[sinton66]

He was preoccupied with breakfast?

[Ranger Mom]

He was too hungover??

[Ranger Mom]

He had taken his bullets out of his gun the night before (for safety reasons) and hadn't had a chance to re-load??

[Ranger Mom]

He was just in his long-johns??

[sinton66]

He fell off the barstool in the saloon and knocked himself out?

[sinton66]

He was too busy brushing his horse?

[Ranger Mom]

He was in bed with the local barmaid at the time??

[Ranger Mom]

Phil C..............where in the heck did you go??

[sinton66]

He had just cleaned his Colt 45 and didn't want to get it all dirty again?

[sinton66]

He forgot to leave a wake-up call?

[sinton66]

He was in jail at the time?

[Ranger Mom]

They shot the rooster so he didn't have an "alarm"?

[sinton66]

He stayed in bed due to "extreme chaffing"?:D

[Ranger Mom]

Phil C.....are we hot, cold, lukewarm??

I am off to work in the flower bed before the temps rise anymore.
I will ponder this question the whole time I am out there.:rolleyes:

[Old Tiger]

he was involved in the gunfire?

[sinton66]

He was selling ammo to both sides?

[Old Tiger]

he played them so they would end up in a gun fight?

[PhiI C]

Sorry I haven't been on for a few hours! Good news!!! Ranger Mom didn't quiet get the answer but it was close enough. She said he was hungover and the answer I was looking for was the he was passed out drunk so I will accept her answer! Way to Go Ranger Mom! You get the next question. But everyone be sure to watch Dawn At Socorro on June 24 on TCM at 8:30 A.M. and if you can't watch it record it or get someone to record it! Good Job Ranger Mom!

[PhiI C]

I did give hints but I feel that Ranger Mom would have guessed that answer anyway. Great Job Ranger Mom and the others who tried. I know Sans would have guessed it right away since he has seen the movie but he was gracious enough to give everyone else a chance.

[PhiI C]

Now you all know the answer to a trivia question that many trivial question experts in the trivia forum don't know and many of them are very good at it.

[Ranger Mom]

LOL!! Major lucky guess on my part!!

[Ranger Mom]

Since I know I am right I will ask the next question.


Yes...you are right!!

[BullFrog Dad]

Originally posted by Ranger Mom
Yes...you are right!! I believe I'm right also. So here goes, What did Tennis Pros Margaret Court and Billie Jean King have the distinction of doing?

[Old Tiger]

playing against men?

[BullFrog Dad]

Originally posted by Old Tiger
playing against men? Which man?

[Phil C]

Bobby Riggs

[Old Tiger]

you didn't ask if what man they played against, you asked what they have the destinction of doing...so i got it right? :p:D

[Phil C]

Bobby Riggs beat Court and lost to King. This did a lot for women's sports (even though when you consider that Riggs was about 56 and it was obsurd (spelling?) for him to play women half his age and in thier prime but he won one anyway and what the heck the American public and tv fell for it. But it do a lot to advance women's sport and tennis in general plus it made money for Bobby Riggs. I remember when the King vs Riggs match was held and it was obvious that it was going to be one sided and Howard Cossell was telling everyone what a once in a lifetime this match was and to not switch over to watch Bonnie And Clyde on another station. Heck he gave a plug for the movie and people seeing how one sided it was probably switched channels right away. Another Cossell blunder. LOL

[Phil C]

Sorry Old. You got it wrong this time. You have a point but it is up to the asker to determine if you got it to his satisfaction. For example on my question Ranger Mom did not specifically give the answer I was looking for but it was close enough to what I wanted and in my judgement I gave it to her. I will agree if you will to let the asker determine if you or I or right and I will yield to the decision. How about you?

[Phil C]

Playing against men! Heck Old if someone said they played tennis they would have been right too. Bull wanted the specific player. Of course I saw both matches on tv so I had an advantage. Let's let Bull determine which one of us gets credit but you have to know that some questions have reasonable implied type answers that the questioner wants. It is like when someone asks how many soldiers England sent to American during the revolutionary war you know he wants a specific number but someone could be right by just saying considerable more than the number that went back. :)

[Phil C]

Another thing Old you said playing against men. But you didn't say what. It could have been checkers or cards. It is reasonable to assume that they both probably played cards or checkers against men once in their lives. See the question has a definite implied answer that I recognized that he wanted the name of the man tennis player Bobby Riggs. By the way Bobby Riggs had won at Wimberton in the 1930s I believe.

[BullFrog Dad]

Originally posted by Old Tiger
you didn't ask if what man they played against, you asked what they have the destinction of doing...so i got it right? :p:D Sorry Old Tiger but the answer had to be Bobby Riggs. In 1998 the Williams Sisters mouthed off that they could take the 200th player on the Men's Tour. A match was set up with 203th ranked Kaarsten Braasch. He beat one 6-1 the other 6-2 and was letting off at that. Now Serving Phil C.

[Smash]

The Chicken Ranch!

[Phil C]

Thank you Bull! In the movie starring Arch Hall Jr. as "The Sadist" what animals saved the woman from the sadist near the end of the movie? You must be specific what Kind and type of animal it is. I.E. Bulldogs not just dogs (not correct answer)

[Ranger Mom]

Man Phil C....that is a HARD one!!

I have searched all over the internet today looking for the answer to no avail....I have found out 2 things though!!

1. I have GOT to see this movie, from all I have read it sounds like one I would really enjoy!

2. If you type "The Sadist" into google, you are gonna get a whole slew of things that don't have to to with the movie.....er.....not THIS movie anyway!!:D

[Phil C]

Ranger Mom all you have to do is guess animials. You will get it if you persist. It is a great movie.

[Ranger Mom]

That is easier said than done..

but here goes....a doberman pinscher

[Phil C]

No keep trying. You are cold.

[Phil C]

A hint though. There were more than one of the animals that I am asking.

[Ranger Mom]

a pack of wild wolves??

Are they all the same animal, or different kinds of animals?

[Phil C]

No Ranger Mom. Keep guessing. They are all the same.

[Ranger Mom]

grizzly bears??

[Old Tiger]

dalmation(spelling?)

[Phil C]

No Ranger Mom. You are cold. Keep trying. Even though this answer gives away an important part of the ending it is still a great movie to watch and there is more it than this.

[Ranger Mom]

rabid tomcats??

[Phil C]

You are guessing good Ranger Mom but think. Why would those animals that you have guessed not also have attacked the woman. Keep trying! You will get it.

[Phil C]

I have to leave for about an hour and half. Keep guessing and guess more than one guess. I will tell you which one is right. Be on later. :)

[jason]

is it killer rabbits?

[Ranger Mom]

I am stumped now that you said that about attacking men and not her!!!

Someone needs to answer this, it's driving me crazy!!

[PhiI C]

not rabbits. This hint is supposed to help. I didn't say the animals attacked just men. In this instance it was just the sadist. Think! this means he got in a situation. that should give it away.

[Old Tiger]

cats?

[PhiI C]

good guess old but still cold. Keep trying!

[Old Tiger]

no tellin....then, i've never seen the movie

[PhiI C]

Don't give up. I tell you what if you guess close I will allow it. Keep trying. Think! Animals!

[Ranger Mom]

Heck Phil C....you have got me on this one....I'm afraid that hint didn't help me one iota!!


Rats??

[Old Tiger]

flie's?
bee's?
coyote's?

[PhiI C]

no old. keep guessing. hint: u r cold

[PhiI C]

Not rats Ranger Mom. But u are cool not cold now in my judgement.

[Old Tiger]

snakes?

[Ranger Mom]

a gaggle of geese??

a flock of sheep??

a herd of goats??

a pride of lions??

[Old Tiger]

gerbals?
hampsters?

[PhiI C]

Try one more guess Old and Ranger and I will give a hint that should give it away.

[Ranger Mom]

Hamsters....gerbils.....guniea pigs??

[PhiI C]

WAIT Hold on!!

[Old Tiger]

fairets(spelling)

[PhiI C]

Congratulations Old! YOu got it. It wasn't as specific as I wanted but was close enough. The answer was snakes - rattlesnakes to be specific. What happened is that the Sadist was chasing her and she ran by an old boarded up well and he jumped across the well to catch her and kill her with his knife. He fell through the boards into the well where a bunch of rattlesnakes were shedding. Unhappy with the intrusion they proceeded to doom him thus the woman was saved by a miracle. :)

[Ranger Mom]

Thank Goodness!!

But how did rats make me go from cold to not so cold??

[PhiI C]

judgement call on my part ranger. rats hide in the dard and that is where the snakes were in the well. probably not a great hint but it was getting a little bit closer :)

[Ranger Mom]

so....is a snake an animal....or a reptile??

[Old Tiger]

finally my turn....



What 2 schools mascot is a duck?

[sinton66]

Technically a reptile is an animal. and if he had said reptile, it wouldn't have been very hard to guess.:D

[Ranger Mom]

Originally posted by sinton66

Unfortunately, that's what threw me off. When Old Tiger said "snakes" I thought, "what an amatuer"!! LOL!!:D

[Old Tiger]

ummm... a tie... or better yet... a perfect season... lol

It may not be what he wants but Texas and Ohio State had been fighting it out for No. 1 all year and had perfect record. Texas got beat in the Cotton Bowl and Ohio State lost in the rose bowl. Because the two top teams lost a bowl game Nebraska got the national championship by the back door route.

[Phil C]

Sorry Bull. My mistake. I was thinking of the 1970 season. You meant the 1971 season and the bowls played in January 1972. What happened after the season is that one conference (The Big Eight) had the top three ranked teams in Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Colorado. They had a joke in the big eight after that season that 1+2=3=8.

[Phil C]

I realized this answer was what you wanted right after I posted and was going to correct myself quickly but sure enough aol was acting up today and kicking me off so I had to go to my computer with yahoo. What happened that year is that the top four teams were considered to be Nebraska, Oklahoma, Alabama and Auburn. Nebraska beat Oklahoma in a close game during the season and Alabama beat Auburn. The two winners played each other and the two losers also. Nebraska whipped Alabama and Oklahoma whipped Auburn showing the the national championship that year was decided when the two big eight teams Nebraska and Oklahoma played. Colorado had a good year also and won their bowl game so they were voted No. 3 thus giving the Big Eight the top three ranked teams in the country in the final polls. It will probably never happen again.

Maybe not that hard Bull. In the late 1960s motorcycle movie called Glory Stompers why did Jody McCrea (Joel's son) pursue Dennis Hopper?

You are absolutely right Bull!! I told you it wouldn't be a hard one! Good job and great memory!!

[sinton66]

I'll post one while we wait.

In Star Wars, what was the unit number of the trash compactor Luke and his crew were trapped in?

[sinton66]

yup, that's it.:D

[Sans Couth]

Baskin Robbins 31 Flavors is a famous Ice Cream Store.

Why did they decide on 31 Flavors? And how many do they really carry at one time? And Why?

Three Part Question:D

[sinton66]

They decided on 31 because that is all of the palatable flavors they could make from the 15 base flavor ice creams they mix in the stores?

[SintonFan]

It's 31 flavors based on 31 days in a month.

[sinton66]

I believe they carry 21 permanent flavors, one flavor of the month, some of 5 different seasonal flavors, and some of 13 different regional flavors. And yes, the 31 was based on a different flavor every day of the month. They also rotate the flavors out to the tune of about 100 flavors per year. They have close to 1,000 flavors in all.

[Sans Couth]

OK,

The 31 days of the month part is correct. Now tell me how many the store carries at any one time, and why.:D

[sinton66]

How about 31 so their slogan won't sound stupid?

LOL,

Nice guess, but wrong.

HINT: It has to do with the PRIMALITY of the number 31

[sinton66]

Okay, but the post four replies above was taken directly from their website.;)

[Sans Couth]

Maybe you could call the local BR31 and ask them how many flavors they have in the case...and why.
