Okay folks "All aboard, The train is leaving station"! So the trivia has been revamped a little this year. You can see the details here.

Here is the question for today.

Remember you only have until noon tomorrow to get your answers in. Good luck.

Just in years past good natured conversation is not only encourage, but expected below! PLEASE DO NOT POST THE ACTUAL ANSWER in the comments section. Tongue and Cheek answers below are okay though!

Here is a secondary Trivia Question for today only. It is being posted merely to point out a few mistakes that have already been made. There is no need to actually submit an answer to this question, but it is a good idea to know the answer to the question before you submit your answer to the actual question. :biggrin:

In the rules for the 2015 Birthday Bash Trivia Contest, which can be found HERE, what is the proper procedure to be used to submit an answer to the Daily Trivia Question?

Note that posting the Tongue in Cheek answers in the thread is expected and appreciated! :biggrin:

 

[Edward Cypher]

Not Robin Hood silly people it had to be Green Arrow with the help of Green Lantern. Watch Arrow on the CW.

 

[alankulwicki7]

Derek Oliver. Way to start out simple....

His rules have the same glaring error of all the other rules, in that they in no way list my paypal account information and the "suggested donation" amount to ensure delivery of your entry...:biggrin:

 

[Karl_99]

I think it was the kid with the apple on his head...he may have needed new shorts, but he got to keep the arrow!!! That's the way William Tells it.

In the rules for the 2015 Birthday Bash Trivia Contest, which can be found HERE, what is the proper procedure to be used to submit an answer to the Daily Trivia Question?

1. Search for 16 hours to find the answer
2. Write the answer on a small piece of blue parchment paper
3. Attach the answer to a well trained homing pigeon
4. Send the well trained homing pigeon to D. Oliver in some small town in South Dakota
5. Hope like heck said pigeon does not get mistaken for a pheasant along the way.

Simple enough.:biggrin:

 

[D.Oliver]

Derek Oliver. Way to start out simple....

Not only did Derek Oliver start out simple, he's remained that way for the better part of his life.:biggrin:

And I've got to say I'm disappointed in your response. As everyone knows from last years Bash, the answer is alankulwicki7!

 

[The Penguin]

I'm sure the answer is Hills Weeping Fig

 

[D.Oliver]

You know I tried really hard to find a question whose answer was "McDiddy" but I just couldn't come up with one that wasn't going to be moderated.

 

[Edgar]

Sassafras!

[Ed McDonnell]

I heard he was one bad mutha shut-yo-mouth.

 

[Lenny]

In typical fashion, I read the question, submitted my answer and
THEN read the instructions! :redface:

 

[mredburn]

Attention... Prizes for todays trivia are now posted in the first thread. That is all......

 

[Brian Frank]

Your all wrong. It has to be his Parents because without them he wouldn't be turning pens let alone know what turning means. He wouldn't be here.

 

[TimS124]

I thought "The Academy" had to be the first person thanked for anything...after that, it's OK to list spouses, cast, crew, random other celebs, and maybe even parents if the music hasn't already started playing because your acceptance speech has droned out far too long...

 

[edicehouse]

Tony Romo did according to to Troy Aikman and Joe Buck.

 

[toddlajoie]

Well, Everyone here in Massachusetts would like to thank Pete Carroll for his "out of the (Marshawn Lynch) box" thinking...
