The Lurker 500

[Iowanian]

Ladies and Gentlemen.

Start your Engines for the Lurker 500.

In this race of planet history, Lurkers, those with less than 100 posts per year of membership are challenged!

Myself, and other tenured members I shall designate will pose comments, statements or questions of Chiefs Planet History. Your job~your Challenge! is to explain the story behind the comment, link it to its originating poster....explain why its relevant or funny. Bonus points awarded for context.

How well do the lurkers know us? How versed are the lurkers in our history?

At the end of this thread, I will donate $20 to Chiefsplanet in the name of the determined winner. The contest will end when I determine the thread/contest has run its course.

Points will be awarded by myself to the first lurker with correct explanation of each event. Bonus points will be given to those with less than 10 total posts.

Tenured posters are allowed to participate in the thread, however until a lurker answers a question...do not give the answer, or anything more than subtle hints on questions that may pose difficulty. Once revealed of the true answer.....feel free to give your take or comment on that moment.

Many of you know that our good friend with excellent penmanship, and contributor to kcchiefsdotcom, IdahoJim posts here.

Next question.
Another KC reporter posts on Chiefsplanet, and has lifted terms coined here for his column. Who is that reporter, and what 2 usernames has he posted here under?

Jason Whitlock. I know one username is Jwhit. Is the other WhitiE?

That was a hint since I'm not eligible for points. But unless you've been around long enough you wouldn't get it anyway.

That would be whitlock. TrINT would be one of the terms. I believe one name he used was big sexy, but I'm not sure.

This is a good question. I know the answer. I wonder if Iowanian does, let alone a lurker.

I have been trying to recall the Mike Keck thing, I think he was the guy who was wanting to meet people to fight them. I believe he was a fan of another team, but I can't remember what team.

A little bit of digging will get you both answers....using the search function.

I don't remember what it was, something like huevos rancheros or hasta la vista or something. He was promptly suspended for something like "racist demagoguery" or something.

The mods at the Star board went crazy in an attempt to break up the political threads on the board that ensued during the offseason. It was July/August of 2000...a presidential election year and there wasnt much Chiefs to talk about. Luzap's thread got it started...I think it was called 25 things you must believe to be a democrat...the result is history. The banning for speaking spanish was just hilarious. It killed that board.

Several of the really old ones...Keck and Moons 'biggest' fan were from the Star's BB, prior to the planet.

Keck, if I remember this right, also claimed to be a CIA agent and wanted to meet Phobia at the airport to fight.

Alright, I know I said I was bowing out, but it seems others are utilizing the search function, so I have decided to throw my hat back in the ring.

To the death of an appliance:
This was frazod. He shot his fridge in his kitchen with a real gun...and I think his pantry door too. I'm guessing the freon from the fridge was what needed to be ventilated. I've done quite a bit of searching but can't quite find out why he shot his fridge and what the story behind it was. Luckily, no beer was injured in the shooting.
