Hunter S. Thompson commits suicide

Not many people do strike me as the suicidal types until it happens. The ones that do strike me as suicidal usually are screaming for help and don't actually intend to really kill themselves. They want attention and/or help and, when they get it, tend to rebound somewhat. This is just my experience, though. The ones that actually do kill themselves never seem suicidal at all.

Seriously, did Michael Hutchence strike you as the suicidal type?

I never heard anything about TEAM naming rights. Just the stadium. They would never let such a thing happen to the team name. Too much history. They literally would have been lynched and strung up by their toenails and beaten to death.

Baltimore cannot take their old name. The trademark on the name belonged to the team, not the city. When the team moved, they were allowed to take it. They could have changed it a la the Browns to Ravens when they moved in which case the teamname could be reused since it was no longer active. But no.

I dug the Ons joke. Pretty funny.

But seriously, I dig the Ravens. I like their name a lot. A good historical reference for the city.

So is there anyone out there who would be kind enough to help me out?

Thanks for reading my post.


Can you post what the current cover looks like (if there is one) or give us some idea what it's all about?

There was a huge uproar here in Chicago when the Bears organization considering selling naming rights to the redesigned Soldier Field. People were up in arms and rightfully so. Then they backed down a little bit and suggested trying something like Baltimore does with Oriole Park at Camden Yards and allowing some company to come in and the name would be XXXXX Park at Soldier Field. I don't think that flew either as the stadium just finished its second year of existence and it's still just Soldier Field. Hopefully renaming will never happen there.

You're not supposed to actually know that the license plate starts in 13. That is a clue for the neighbor trying to figure it out. Think about it critically. If the neighbor can look at the car and see the first two digits, he knows the answer immediately unless those first two numbers happen to be a 1 and a 3 because there are two different combinations of ages that result in a 13. If it was anything other than 13, he would not need the added information that the eldest daughter liked strawberry ice cream. It would be worthless information. You, as someone looking at this riddle from the outside, don't need to realize anything other than the fact that the first two digits on the license plate did not help the neighbor solve the riddle at all. When you see that he wasn't able to solve it, you then realize that the only possibility is that it is one of the two combinations of numbers that equal 13. Then the ice cream clue about the eldest daughter and, bingo-bango-bongo, you can figure it must be the 9-2-2 answer.

No clairvoyance, lucky charms, or preexisting knowledge of one's mileage (this one I really don't get) are necessary at all.

Too easy.

Michael Rooker (Mallrats) Jason Lee/Kevin Smith/Jason Mewes/Ben Affleck/Shannon Doherty/et al (Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back) Hamill/Fisher.

The only problem is that IMDb does not say "limited release" and we would each have to go in to the Release Dates section to find out that info which tacks God-only-knows how much extra time on to the process and will likely scare away players who don't want to take the time. Should I still keep it anything designated by IMDb as a movie? Might be easier.

Seeing as how the V.P. is such a V.I.P., shouldn't we keep the P.C. on the Q.T.? 'Cause of the leaks to the V.C. he could end up M.I.A., and then we'd all be put out in K.P. and not have access to CRT, LCD, DLP, etc.

Advice on how to achieve your evil plans...

Fun stuff Jason.

Here's mine...

Quote
Your objective is simple: Widespread Misery.

Your motive is a little bit more complex: Sadistic pleasure

Stage One

To begin your plan, you must first expose a military general. This will cause the world to sit up and take notice, frightened by your arrival. Who is this sadistic fiend? Where did they come from? And why do they look so good as an elemental?

Stage Two

Next, you must sabotoge the Moon (ooh, tides!). This will all be done from a medieval castle, a mysterious place of unrivaled dark glory. Upon seeing this, the world will wet their pants, as countless hordes of animal minions (rats, birds, etc.) hasten to do your every bidding.

Stage Three

Finally, you must release your plague of doom, bringing about an unending cacophony of screams. Your name shall become synonymous with fuzzy bunnies, and no man will ever again dare sneer cruelly at your disfigured face. Everyone will bow before your mystical abilities, and the world will have no choice but to pray to you for enlightenment.


FUZZY BUNNIES SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH!!!!!

And about the 36, 1, 1 not being the "possible" answer: kinda hard for someone 36 years old to have a one year old brother... Unles his/hers mother was 7 (the world record) when he/she was born, and 42 (not the world record but impressive) when the later twins were born.


Are there no other countries that use numbers in a license plate?

As for the age in 36,1,1, think about remarriage. I had a friend when I was 11 whose eldest brother was in his 40s. Because his dad was remarried. Same dad, different mom. His dad was in his 60s when he was born.
