Hey Randy,

Can they enter MORE THAN ONCE??? The slew of people who sent this in, may want to reconsider later!!

 

[ed4copies]

Being in the copier industry, I can tell you "letterwood" is another name for copier paper that gets stuck frequently.

Usually came from the cottonwood tree (that's why they call it "cotton" based)

Don't know the scientific name, but you can look that up. If you don't have time, just use "cottonwoodus messusupairconditionerus"

Oh boy, you've opened a can of worms here. Do you mean the common name where you live, or the common name where I live?

My neighbour when I was growing up always had some very creative common names for things. Unfortunately I can't repeat them here.

Russell.

 

[Daniel]

I heard a lot of names for the cottonwood, and all of them are really common, at least in places like bars, ball games, street brawls.

I am now boycotting this TRIVIA because the TRIVIAMEISTER has insulted me and refuses to recognize my emails! this game is rigged! I can't wait till the new TRIVIAMASTER takes over. :biggrin:

.....I can't wait till the new TRIVIAMASTER takes over. :biggrin:

Be careful what you wish for!!

 

[dntrost]

Bring it on!

 

[workinforwood]

I thought the answer was to be emailed. We're just foolin around in this thread I hope. Anyways, did I win, or do I need to try again. I had a good feeling I might be the first answer this time, but maybe not.

 

[Randy_]

OK, which one of you wiseguys sent this as an answer to the Day 7 question?

I found UR contact info online. I'm sending you this message because I want to show you my show I'm about to start my show, check it out!

 

[Pen Maker]

Well it wasn't me!!!! I just get the Credit Repair ones... I applied for one... Got It two... My limit is now up to a Big Mac... no fries... no Cola... just the Big Mac and I'm maxed out... with interest I should have it paid down at least by the time the post office gets sorted out I'm thinking!
