Wow. Chris Simms has Marvin Harrison Jr as his #3 WR. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 18, 11:19 6
- your first mistake was reading anything Chris Simms has said -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Mar 18, 11:25
- It's the typical over-analysis of can't miss prospects. Weirdly, the NFL's scouting department only has him as WR2...but also #2 overall. - David Mar 18, 11:23 3
  - I keep hoping for a way that Nabers is there at 8. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 18, 11:55 2

Can you put these Pacific Northwest movies in chronological order of when they were released theatrically? - Mop🧹 Mar 18, 10:59 16
- Give a movie, give a year, guess before or after. 1 point each. -- nm - na-Baron Mar 18, 11:19 1
  - And then without saying anything, make each provided year successively closer to the true year so that difficulty ramps up. -- nm - na-Baron Mar 18, 11:21

  - Or you could say "2 movies are from the 70s, 2 are from the 80s, etc" -- nm - Roger More Mar 18, 11:10
- 3, 10, 6, 2/4 same year, 5, 8, 9, 1, 11, 7 -- nm* - hollywood big shot Mar 18, 11:06 1
  - (second 10 = 1) -- nm - hollywood big shot Mar 18, 11:20
- I suggest changing the question - you could ask the players to identify the state the movie is set in. - Roger More Mar 18, 11:04 3
  - I was going to do a "picture" round showing the locations, so I may go back to that, but asking for the locations instead. -- nm - Mop🧹 Mar 18, 11:16 1
    - "Match the conifer to the movie in which it appeared" -- nm - Roger More Mar 18, 11:40
  - And my quick guess is 3, 10, 6, 4, 5, 8, 2, 9, 1, 11, 7 -- nm - Roger More Mar 18, 11:09
- I think I list 5 movies and ask them to enter a year, and if you get it within 3 years, you get a point. -- nm - Mop🧹 Mar 18, 11:03
Megaball draw is tomorrow for 850m or so. Nic and date please -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 18, 10:58

- Styx -- nm - Fuzzy Mar 18, 10:56
- NWA? -- nm - Krusty Mar 18, 10:55 2
  - I thought them and Eazy-E at first, but that wasn't until 1988. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 18, 10:56 1
    - Yeah, too early for them or dirty or violent hip hop. -- nm - Krusty Mar 18, 11:14
- Donna Summer love to love you baby -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 18, 10:55 1

        I was today years old when I learned this... -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Mar 18, 10:58 2

        Streisand Effect! -- nm - na-Baron Mar 18, 10:59 1
        
        This whole era was Streisand Effect. Those Parental Advisory stickers might as well have said "Buy me." "Just say no" yeah, how did that turn out? -- nm - con_carne Mar 18, 11:22
        
        Although, that one particularly was insane at the time too. It's not as good an example of shifting standards as like public swimwear in the 1920's -- nm - rollo Mar 18, 10:55
