One version of the origin I heard was that the phrase was an instruction to printers. Since the printing plates were made with backwards letters, the printer would have to be espescially cautious not to mix up the lower-case Ps and the Qs (though the same problem would come into play with lower-case Bs and Ds far more often, so it would seem like "Mind Your bs and ds" would've been the phrase had that been the origin.) ------------------ HoustonSportsBoard.com
Ok, ok...how about an easy one... What was the first video shown on MTV? ------------------ Save our children from the TAAS test: TAAS test report card TAAS test fact sheet Dog lover here....cats beware.
Video Killed the Radio Star. still no attempts at all for the left-hander. Hehe...the key is to find a question that has useless keywords for searching. "era" is not a good keyword.
Ok, just guessing here....Lefty Grove? ------------------ Save our children from the TAAS test: TAAS test report card TAAS test fact sheet Dog lover here....cats beware.
strike one, no more guessing for Behad clue #1: household name<font color="dedfdf"> [This message has been edited by heypartner (edited September 02, 2000).]
I have spent the past hour looking for this.....How about some clues? ------------------ Save our children from the TAAS test: TAAS test report card TAAS test fact sheet Dog lover here....cats beware.
Babe Ruth ------------------ Save our children from the TAAS test: TAAS test report card TAAS test fact sheet Dog lover here....cats beware.
Was not a guess...Once you gave the household name clue, the answer clicked in my head. Besides, I think I am the only one playing the game. ------------------ Save our children from the TAAS test: TAAS test report card TAAS test fact sheet Dog lover here....cats beware.
in looking for supporting Babe Ruth facts (1.75 era), I came across another fun one from baseball. This is probably easy to search for though. So, pass if you don't know...i certainly did not know this. "Who was the victim of Nolan Ryan's 5,000th strikeout." [This message has been edited by heypartner (edited September 02, 2000).]
HP: Was it 1916, with an era of 1.75? ------------------ Save our children from the TAAS test: TAAS test report card TAAS test fact sheet Dog lover here....cats beware.
Lifeline Clue #1...A quote from the victim "He just blew it by me. But it's an honor. I'll have another paragraph in all the baseball books. I'm already in the books three or four times."
Ricky Henderson Try this: Name the only player to have two grand slams in the same inning. ------------------ Save our children from the TAAS test: TAAS test report card TAAS test fact sheet Dog lover here....cats beware.
Two grand slams in the same inning Fernando Tatis, last year. HeyPee... I must've glanced by your left-handed ERA question... it would've been simple to search for. ------------------ Falk that Mo Fo!!!
DoD: What search engine or page would you use for that? I went thru a dozen different sites and could not find something that specific. I'll check back later or tomorrow, it's quitting time at the salt mines! Ice down the beer and fire up the grill, honey, I'm coming home! ------------------ Save our children from the TAAS test: TAAS test report card TAAS test fact sheet Dog lover here....cats beware.
yeah DoD. Alright, it is fixin to get tougher. Remember, the question and the answer must be worth remembering. household names or incredible facts (Doc Ellis) and such. "Who is the first President to see a triple play live." clock is ticking DoD...Mr. info mercenary. I would like to see you take on Mango in a battle of the best search gods.
I won't leave you guys guessing with this one, but I pulled it off a site not too long ago and it still has me firmly believing that government is a joke : 23: Number of minutes the U.S. Congress spent in October 1990 debating the administration's request for new S&L bailout funds. 40: Number of minutes spent debating a proposal to renovate the Capitol hairdressing salon. ------------------ Falk that Mo Fo!!!
that would have been easy...DoD. I've got a Harper's Index Index in my lap right now with those two answers. bring it on........ make them fun to remember, though.
One more then I really got to go? Literary question: Who met Jeff in 1908? ------------------ Save our children from the TAAS test: TAAS test report card TAAS test fact sheet Dog lover here....cats beware.
Give me a required clue...does that meet my "worth remembering" criteria. My president one is going to require Life Lines for sure...here's one that is equally good and probably funner. What MLB player signed the first million dollar contract? semi-clue...it was for exactly one million, of course.
