Okay you guys, a quick update. Iwish has not contacted me in a few days. We're still working with the events that have come up. The Trivia WILL be back up and running by at the least Monday. Thank you.

 

Event that have come up?

 

Ariana, that I would not know...haven't been around in a couple of weeks, I think. ?

 

::shrug:: I haven't witnessed any events, besides the lack of questions.

 

Iwish's feelings are hurt. That's all.

 

I don't know what went on in detail, but I miss the questions! I was doing so well, too...



JPK

 

I know. No questions stinks.

 

We could have questions very easily.

 

Very, very true.

Where does the term, "Second String" (as in sports), come from?

0.5 points

Darth_Envy gets a big fat gold star


EDIT: I don't know what the events are that Red is referring to, but Iwish has been around a bunch lately.... ?

i'll try to go to bat for you guys

 

I believe that it is derived from the practice of double-stringing a bow in order to prevent archers from becoming useless if their primary string was broken. The concept has roots both in the English and Italian warfighting traditions and has some to symbolize the idea of being prepared.

 

show off

 

Wow Jake! Nice going, that's right.

And no DOT, he's just smart...



JPK

 

Shush you.

 

Next question?

 

Ok, here goes...

How do you pronounce the capital of Kentucky? LOO-IS-VILLE or LOO-EE-VILLE?

5 points

And Eugene can't answer.

 

Dern it! I'll comment on this question once it has been answered.

 

I pronounce the capital of Kentucky: Frank-Fert

 

Way to go DOT. That was a trick question. But you're too smart for those. So, your turn to ask a question, because I'm off to lunch! See y'all in a couple minutes!



JPK

 

All right! (We call it Loo-ih-vull, though (Louisville, that is))
