Post your y2k trivia questions now! :-)

-- kritter (kritter@adelphia.net), April 22, 2000

Answers

Wonderful!

-- Lilly (homesteader145@yahoo.com), April 23, 2000.

Wow kritter! ROTFL and LOL. Thanks for posting this for folks like me who can't get into chat.

Tricia: Looks like nobody guessed the answer to your "infamous bean thread" question. Maybe a reward should be offered for that one :)

-- Rob Michaels (sonofdust@thanks.kritter), April 23, 2000.

Rob - I agree, it should get a prize. But it was Brooke who asked it, not me. Did you want to try an answer? Going back and checking is definitely cheating!

-- Tricia the Canuck (jayles@telusplanet.net), April 23, 2000.

Rob...

Been fishing lately?

;-)

-- Brooke (WilferdW@aol.com), April 24, 2000.

Gee, I knew a lot of these (or at least they were on the tip of my tongue as someone else blurted the answer). Not a good sign. Guess I know what I did (and didn't) do with my life last year! ;^) I remember when y2k made Jeopardy. The questions were SO lame.

My contributions:

Name at least two CPR aliases (from those times on DeBunkers when he couldn't resist talking to himself).

What preparations did Kosky's kids make?

What was the name of the Baron's homestead?

What was Patty's chauffeur's claim to fame?

Bonus question: What is Jimmy Bagga Donuts real name and ethnic background?

And for really extra credit (cuz I really want to know...) what happened in INVAR's banned JBD sequel?

-- Brooks (brooksbie@hotmail.com), April 25, 2000.

Ok, I'll have a go...

CPR aliiii = "Chicken Little" (yup) and "Doomers Suck" (maybe.)

Kosky's kid's? - scored some el primo E from their DEA connections, (in retrospect, wish I'd followed suit!)

Baron's homestead was "Dragonranch"

Dunno

JBD sounded I-talian to me, FWIW. Real name, Joey Batapaglia.

Dunno.

-- number six (#@#.com), April 29, 2000.

Six, you nailed Dragonranch. Other than that... ummm .... better keep your day job ...
