Well he plays the "Man with no Name" but Lee Van Cleef sometimes calls him "Manco".

[sinton66]

No, that's not correct. Close, but no cigar. This is indeed the second of the Sergio Leone trilogy featuring the "Man with no name", but his name is mentioned in the beginning of the movie. In reality, "The Man with no Name" was a marketing invention of United Artists after the fact. Even his character in "A Fistful Of Dollars" actually had a name.

[kaorder1999]

on the movies site it says hes "the man with no name"

[sinton66]

Trust me on this, I just got the DVD as a gift and just finished watching the film.;)

Sans Couth, when I said close, I meant real close.

[Sans Couth]

I have watched it many times. Maybe you would prefer I spelled it Monco instead of Manco. Or maybe Mancho, or Moncho. Lee Van Cleef is kinda hard to understand when they are dubbing in over the Italian.:D

[sinton66]

It is indeed spelled "Monco" and pronounced that way too. You are correct, your turn, but , do you know what his name was in "A Fistful of Dollars"?

[Sans Couth]

I believe it was "Joe" in a fistfull of dollars, and he was only called "Blondie" in the good the bad and the ugly.

I would like to defer to Ranger Mom, I am on my way to the weight room.:D

[sinton66]

That's good SC, it was indeed "Joe".

[Ranger Mom]

Okay...I heard this on the local radio station yesterday, it took 45 minutes for someone to guess the answer correctly. (I was one who was clueless:p )

What was the longest running series to have a father who was a single parent?

[BIG BLUE DEFENSIVE END]

Full House?

[sinton66]

That was my guess too, but there was one will Bill Bixbie called "The Courtship of Edies Father" that could be it too.

[sinton66]

Oh, no, no, no. It HAD to be "The Courtship of Eddie's Father" with Bill Bixby.

[sinton66]

LOL, we keyed on it at the same time.;)

[BIG BLUE DEFENSIVE END]

[BIG BLUE DEFENSIVE END]

I figured using a search engine would take away the fun of the trivia question...

[PhiI C]

Was it My Three Sons? Fred McMurray was single a long time even though he did get married to Beverly Garland the last few years of the series. Beverly's former husband played one of the Ferris sons in Dawn at Socorro. :)

[Sans Couth]

Hey Phil,

Another excellent guess. I wonder which one it will be?

[PhiI C]

Hey Big you could have answered some of my questions if you had watched Dawn at Socorro on TCM that I advertised a long time plus if you had watched ESPN recently you would have known the answer to my last question.

[Sans Couth]

Wasn't Bridges a single dad on "Sea Hunt"?

And it seems like the dad on "Flipper" was single too.

Two more guesses.

[Sans Couth]

I just thought of another one.

What about Ben Cartwright?

Hell Bonanza ran for a long time.

So did Sanford and Son.

Geez, I am coming up with a ton of them now that I think about it.

[PhiI C]

Hey Sans one that was even longer was Bonanza. Loren Green was single all through that long run.

[Sans Couth]

How about the "Rifleman'?

[Sans Couth]

I had basketball practice when Dawn at Socorro aired, I sincerely planned on watching it. Also, I watched ESPN for 5 minutes about Coach K, but I was cutting hay today and had to hang a gate. :(

[PhiI C]

Big you should have recorded it or had someone record it for you.

[Sans Couth]

Just thought of another one.

Andy Griffith

[Sans Couth]

Geez I am on a roll now.

The Beverly Hillbillies


Wasn't Jed Elly Mae's Pa?

[Sans Couth]

The Love Boat?

As I recall the captain's daughter was on the show, but no wife.:D

[Sans Couth]

OK,

What about Tony Danza on Who's The Boss?

How long did that sucker run?

[PhiI C]

Sorry Sans I didn't see that you had said Bonanza! That is probably it. Now watch it be a soap opera that is the winner! Those things run forever! So I will guess As the World Turns! :)

[Old Green]

Family Affair
the uncle raises his nephew and 2 nieces.

[Sans Couth]

I thought of a couple more.

Coach was single for years before he married Christine.

And my son just told me that Chucky's Dad is Single on the "Rugrats" LOL

[Sans Couth]

Geez, we could have started a thread about shows with single dads. I never knew there were so many till I started trying to list them.

[sinton66]

I'm pretty sure she was looking for Bill Bixby's show, but Bonanza would definitely blow that one away.

[BIG BLUE DEFENSIVE END]

For the love of god Sans, are you trying to be the first poster who posts 1000 times on a single thread?

[sinton66]

"The Courtship of Eddie's Father" ran for five years, "Bonanza" ran for 14 years.

[Sans Couth]

Well, thats good to hear, but I still know your underlying motive for answering so many times.....:rolleyes:

[Ranger Mom]

Sorry guys....I forgot that I had asked a question and then left ya hangin'!!

Sans guessed the correct answer...it is indeed Bonanza!!

[Sans Couth]

OK, Here is an easy one.

What do Johnny Moss, Thomas Austin Preston, and Jack Keller have in common?

[Phil C]

poker

[CHS_Grad '85]

Man... too slow again... :clap:

[Sans Couth]

[sinton66]

Yes they are, but I was not specific, so I gave it to Phil.

[Phil C]

Thank you Sans. I also knew they were in the Poker Hall of Fame but I didn't think you intended for us to be that specific. Anyway I will make this one an easy one. The movie Hoosiers was based on a real life hs state basketball championship game in which a small school defeated a big school in Indiana in 1954. The big school was Muncie. What was the name of the small school?

[Ranger Mom]

Hickory High School?

[PhiI C]

Good Guess Ranger Mom but the questions asks for the real name not the reel name! :)

[sinton66]

The real team the movie is based on is the Milan Indians.

[PhiI C]

That is right Sinton 66. Milam was the the last if not the only small school Indiana team to win the state championship. All schools participated in one classification whether larger or small. They had the semis earlier on the same day as the state championship. Milam played a slow game to beat Muncie by two points. Unlike the movie which made it look like a big upset it was not the big upset at the time because the year before Milam had made it to the semis before even though no one really expected them to win but it was not the big surprise as the movie made it out. Your question 66.

[BIG BLUE DEFENSIVE END]

Where is he? :confused:

[sinton66]

I'll defer to Sans Couth.

[Sans Couth]

How many hands beat a full house in Poker.

[Sans Couth]

top

[PhiI C]

two - straight flush and four of a kind

[PhiI C]

Of course I was only considering straight 52 deck draw poker or stud poker. If the jokers were wild then potentially there would be three hands that would beat the full house which would mean one could have five of a kind which would be the top hand.

[Sans Couth]

Phil you are correct either way. But a real poker player would never use wild cards, so I accept your FIRST answer:D

[PhiI C]

I agree with you completely on the wild card statement Sans. Let me think for a minute on a question.

[PhiI C]

Since we are on poker I will ask a related question. The game is draw poker and the bets are complete and only two players are left. Player A has a full house of three queens and two nines. Player B has four sixes and a three. Player A puts down his cards and says full house. Player B puts down his hand and says two pair. Player B starts to rake in the pot but Player A says that he wins because B said he had two pair and since that was announced that is what it is and a full house beats two pair. Player B insists the pot is his. Who is right and why?

[BIG BLUE DEFENSIVE END]

Because Player B is right because in reality, it is me, and I am never wrong. :D

[CHS_Grad '85]

I would have to guess that Player A is the winner... if Player B had just turned his cards over & said nothing (or at least called four of a kind) he would have won... but he called 2 pairs... full house wins... as a novice - I had made the same mistake at a poker game 'once' - trust me... Player A wins....

[District303aPastPlayer]

you are correct

[Phil C]

Sorry District. That is incorrect.

[Phil C]

You got cheated CHS unless you were playing by some local house rules which should have been told you in advance. What is sad is that I bet you were playing in a supposedly friendly game of poker. But you aren't the only one that has got swindled by that. I haven't but I had a friend in college that once was.

[CHS_Grad '85]

Cool...

[Ranger Mom]

I'm confused....was the poker question answered correctly or not?

I thought district said "you are correct" and Phil C said not correct!

[CHS_Grad '85]

I'm not correct - I just got jipped... lol

[Phil C]

This question seems to have been a stumpper which surprised me so I will ask another question after I give you the answer to this one. The answer is that Player B wins. Big was right here but he didn't give the correct reason. I have got my answer from a professional gambler. It doesn't matter what a player announces - THE CARDS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES and there were four sixes which is four of a kind which beats a full house. Remember in poker there is also bluffing. A player could put the cards down and say I have five aces but if you look at the cards and there is only one ace then that is what he has no matter what he says. Remember in poker unless there are local house rules that ALL players have agreed to before play then the CARDS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.
Now for another question on football history. A High Schhol football coach was once hung in effigy during the two years his team won the state championship. Name the coach.

[PhiI C]

I don't want to tie up the threand so I will give two hints which should give it away. Joe and TEXOMA!

[Sans Couth]

Joe Golding of Wichita Falls?

[PhiI C]

That is right Sans. He coached Wichita Falls to the State Championship in 1949. The next year he had four key players hurt and they missed the first four games which the Witchita Falls Coyotes lost. The people were so upset that the coach was hung in effigy. After the first four games the injured players recovered and Wichita Falls won the rest of their games including state. Golding was there for 15 years and they reached the state championship six times and won four of them. It got where if the Coyotes didn't at least reaach the quarterfinals it was considered tragic. His last team in 1961 won it all and then he retired. Ironically the effigy hangers didn't pool their recourses to buy him a cadillac at his retirement. Your turn Sans!

[Sans Couth]

Well I have been reading my DCTF and I will ask one from there.

There were 4 teams in Texas last year that played both the Division One and Division two State Champion in their respective leagues. Who were they?

[BullFrog Dad]

[Sans Couth]

BD, you are correct.

I also noticed that Paul Pewitt did it in 2A as well, so I guess there were actually FOUR teams that did it.

I looked at 3-5A and found One team in 3A and Two teams in 5A that did this as well. But I couldn't find a team in 4A that played both champions.

Anyway, Your Turn.

[BullFrog Dad]

Good Grief Sans, I figured the answer wouldn't be here for at least an hour!!!

Sorry BFD,

But I listen to Rush some, and I remember reading that in his second book if I am not mistaken.

Folks are gonna think you are a NASCAR fan if your not careful.:D

[Ranger Mom]

Nope...not a NASCAR fan just yet.

I have to admit though....I did a google search on the Dollar General question, but I actually knew the Wal-Mart one, because I buy plenty of it.

If half drank cans are gonna get left all over the place, then they are gonna be HALF price drinks too!!

Okay, now for my question:

What 1973 hit song made a big comeback during the Iranian hostage crisis?

[Sans Couth]

I will take a wild guess.

Live and let Die?

I remember a lot about the time. But remembering which song from 1973 may be a little tough. Can we get a hint?

[Ranger Mom]

Geez....already?? I'm gonna have to think about a hint.


(No..that isn't the correct answer)

[Sans Couth]

How about Tie a Yellow ribbon round the old oak tree, by Tony Orlando and Dawn?

Yes that is it...dangit.

[Phil C]

I am not sure Sans but I forgot about the rough years in the early 80s. Let me try again. Celina?

[sinton66]

In 3A, it's probably Cuero, Celina went back to 2A, didn't they?

[sinton66]

Wait, you didn't say consecutive, right? I believe Hondo would be the one.

[Sans Couth]

I was going on the assumption that active "streak" would mean consecutive. So yes not only consecutive but active as well.

[Sans Couth]

Celina went 1-9 in 1983

The active record is well over 20 years.

[sinton66]

So, Celina, Cuero, and Hondo are all wrong?

[Sans Couth]

Yes,

Cuero and Hondo both have recent losing seasons.

[PhiI C]

WOS?

[sinton66]

Breckenridge or Jasper?

[PhiI C]

Would you believe Pilot Point?

[sinton66]

Pilot Point dropped to 2A also.

[Sans Couth]

Phil got it.

I found a cool site that has all kinds of records. But I am keeping it to myself for future trivia.

Here is the consecutive winning seasons. There are only two active seasons on the list and they are tied.

My bad, I thought they went to Region 1 with Gainesville.

[PhiI C]

This requires a little history and involves all classes but name the one hs team and year that won a state championship in football that was the least favored to win. Remember you must name the team and year. Remember if you picked all the playoff teams and picked the least one likely to even advance past the first round much less win it all this team would have been it.

[Sans Couth]

Bandera 2002 :D

[Phil C]

Good guess Sans! But that is not it.

[HighSchool Fan]

Gainesville was picked #18 last year in DCTF. Is Gainesville the answer?

[Phil C]

Good guess but no! Hint: Bandera is fairly close georgraphically.

[turbostud]

Uvalde 72

[sinton66]

Castroville in 84?

[PhiI C]

Getting closer but not there. Let me give another hint and this should be a giveaway. Eagles.

[Sans Couth]

Apple Springs?:D

[turbostud]

Leakey 75

[PhiI C]

No. Remember this team was not even supposed to win their district. They lost several games including district games but fortunately for them the teams that beat them lost enough games and they won enough to just barely get into the playoffs. Then they were underdogs in every playoff game. When they made the final 8 they would have been chosen the least likely team to win state. But they did.

[PhiI C]

I will give another hint if you all want. This hint is bound to be a giveaway for sure! ;)

[PhiI C]

This question must have been a stumper so I will give it away and check tomorrow with another hint: Warren McVey

San Antonio Brackenridge 1962

You got it Bullfrog! I would have been disappointed if no one had gotten it soon after that last hint. Your turn Bullfrog.

Correct BFD. Now it's "Time" for you to ask a question.

[BullFrog Dad]

Thanx! What do districts 3-3A, 7-3A, and 30-3A have in common?

[BIG BLUE DEFENSIVE END]

They're all 1A. :p

[Phil C]

There are only 5 teams in each district?

[BIG BLUE DEFENSIVE END]

They are omitted from DCTF or they are non-existent, one or the two.

[BIG BLUE DEFENSIVE END]

Is my answer right or wrong?:confused:

[Mustang '89]

Can I find the answer by looking in DCTF?

[BIG BLUE DEFENSIVE END]

They're not in there, I've already looked. Districts 3-3A, 7-3A, and 30-3A are not included in DCTF.

What issue are you looking in?

[Old Tiger]

was my answer right?

[BIG BLUE DEFENSIVE END]

Wait, nvm......I read the question wrong. For some reason I was looking in 1A...and all of those districts were gone from DCTF for some reason.

No that is not the answer I'm looking for but I can't believe that there is no 7-3A coverage in DCTF after I've been looking under every rock! Does he do regional coverage or are all DCTF issues the same Statewide?

I'm going try a Walmart that Matthew328 suggested over the weekend. If I come up empty-handed I'll PM you. Tiger WR, not the answer we were looking for at this time! Guys I gotta' check out until Sunday PM or Monday AM. Somebody will hit this before then and you'll know it's the correct answer. Have a Great Weekend!!!

[Old Tiger]

a state champion came from them this past year?

[Ranger Mom]

LOL!!!

After about 30 minutes of looking up every coaches name, every mascot, whatever I could do to compare them it finally dawned on me.

That's the teams the 3 new moderators back.

3-3A Greenwood Rangers - Ranger Mom
7-3A Bridgeport Bulls - Slpybear
30-3A Sinton Pirates - Sinton66



Is that right???

[sinton66]

I'd say yes, that is correct.

Cool, then I am going to forge ahead!

What actor/singer of "The Monkees" mother invented something, and what was it?

(This is a 2 part question):D

[District303aPastPlayer]

i know its John Paul Jones' mother... and i think it was like the post-it note or something

[Ranger Mom]

Nope and Nope!! (Who in the heck is John Paul Jones??)

The Monkees were: Davey Jones, Peter Tork, Michael Nesmith and Micky Dolenz.

[espn1]

John Paul Jones, Guitarist for Led Zepplin.

[sinton66]

I think it was Mickey Dolenz' mom, but I don't exactly remember what she invented. Seems like it was something like the bulletproof vest.

[BullFrog Dad]

Thanx! What is the term for 1/100th of a second?

[Phil C]

micro second

Originally posted by Phil C
micro second Phil C, I knew after I posted the question that I should have worded it better. What I'm looking for is an answer that is one word, five letters. Try again while I have a PEANUT BUTTER sandwich!!!

[Phil C]

You got me there Frog so I will wait for someone who knows. Hope the sandwich was good. :)

[sinton66]

How about centi second?

[BIG BLUE DEFENSIVE END]

I would have to say tenth of a second. I'm probably wrong, but it's worth a shot.

[Ranger Mom]

I can't help but wonder of the word PEANUT BUTTER is some kind of hint to the answer!!

[BIG BLUE DEFENSIVE END]

Jelly....lol, I have no idea Mom.

[Old Tiger]

nanosecond?

[BIG BLUE DEFENSIVE END]

It's only 5 letters.
