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.

Only other thing I think I recall was that it was at training camp

"STOP OR I'll Shoot" A planeteer had an accident in his home. What happend and what was ventilated?

Mr. Iowanian, I am probably wrong on both.

#4 Not sure of the details, but I belive Mr. Bobdole encountered Ross Perot

#6. I guess ENDelt and refrigerator

[Hammock Parties]

A famous planeteer had an "encounter" in a restroom. Which planeteer is involved and what happened in the encounter?

[Chief Wiggum]

Been looking for the answer to #4 since the question was posted, and the only verifiable information I have that Bob Dole has ever even been in a bathroom is from his review of urinal cakes. For the record (as a tribute to Bob Dole) Chief Wiggum doesn't like blue urinal cakes either...

The search function is painful... All these questions are from before my time. I guess I'm just happy on on the board at the Lurker 500.

Thanks to GoBo for the rep and $10 in casino bucks

[Iowanian]

Monk.

You're at least partially correct on both questions. I cannot offer tips for fairness in this thread, but these stories must be relayed to future generations to understand the culture of our cp forefathers.

It doesn't matter to me if one chooses to use the search function, but my true hope is to challenge you lurkers and see how much you know about the place. Obviously, the later arrivals can use this opportunity as a history lesson, to help understand why certain jokes are funny here, that might not be in other contexts.

I've given up on the search function. It is a complete joke.

Thanks for the clue Goatse! Per BD

"Bob Dole has previously posted about Bob Dole's encounter with Joe Montana in the men's room at Tom Fooleries on the Plaza in KC. Though uneventful, it's been a fairly decent story for quite a few years.

Until today, Bob Dole didn't really think much about the circumstances, but now Bob Dole is concerned that perhaps some sort of strange karma-thing is making itself felt.

Bob Dole was in the men's room across the hall from Bob Dole's office about 10 minutes ago, disposing of the last 2 pots of black coffee. A typical run-of-the-mill everyday occurance that Bob Dole is certain many of the people on here have in common.

Anyway, as with the Joe Montana story, the door opens and Bob Dole turns to look (without coughing, thank you) and Ross Perot strolls in and steps up to the urinal next to Bob Dole.

This makes 2 urinal encounters, and Bob Dole is wondering WTF is up with that?

Besides the connection with the previous encounter, this story is only bettered by the fact that Mr. Perot proceeded to do his best impression of General Colon Bowel barking out orders. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, even the very wealthy are apparently afflicted with flatulence now and again.

Unbelievable."

The restroom story question I posed is separate from the Bob Dole story.

Here's another question:

A famous planeteer had a crush on a girl at school. He was invited to a party. What was the nature of their relationship before the party, and what did said planeteer do at the party?

Hint - look in the hall of classics

well knowing who to use it is one thing.

the fact that it might be slow is a factor of the database (indexing capability) and it's table design

One of the above.

In a shameless ploy for more points, I was born and raised in Hutchinson, KS until my family moved to the west coast when I was 16. Gonzaga is my alma mater and hoops team. I hate Roy Williams because of how he left KU - even though I don't care about their team.

Mr Iowanian, I respect the spirit of this thread, and because I won't get most of the questions, I'll bow out of the competition for lurkers that have been around and can answer off of the cuff. I'll enjoy reading it though...

[Nzoner]

Great thread idea I'm looking forward to keeping up with this
