Winner! I was the first male cheerleader at my private high school in St. Louis, John Burroughs School. Call me and we'll work out the details. (p.s. my Oscar winning relative is Kevin Kline. It was posted earlier, but as part of a multi-post, it was deemed ineligible)
LOL. Although JayO's correct answer was as good as the winning one, probably better since he got it on his second guess. The winning one was also part of a multi-post, just spread out in a shotgun shot of separate posts, instead of in 1. Anyways, that was fun, I was going crazy trying to figure it out.
OK, I want to plead my case in front of the 3-panel board of arbitration! There were no rules posted prior to my posts about one guess per post. I was just trying to consolidate to make it easier on everyone reading the thread. And I did have the exact answer - I just included one wrong one with it also. Let's have an impartial ruling!
Dang, I came into this a little bit late.... Dont really need the pipe, but it would be fun to guess nonetheless. PDG
LOL, my first ruling is what Daniel says goes. My second ruling is if you allow someone multiple guesses in multiple posts, then multiple guesses in a single post is OK and at least doesn't run your post count up. Future contests should only allow one guess per user. Since there is only one test pipe, I think it should be plasma cut right down the middle!
Although I'd love to have the pipe, I kinda have to agree with this logic. Damn and I was so proud of thinking up the cheerleader answer! ("I'd love the have the pipe"...??? man, that just sounded so wrong.)
heh, I was going to guess cheerleading after golf but couldn't imagine why it would be 'significant'. Anyway thanks for the chance - I'll have to let my metal fabricator buddy continue replacing the gutted cat for my QV with a straight pipe... cheers and yes, next time one guess per person
Sheesh, would somebody just tell me which lucky boy gets my polished pipe up his exhaust? (ewwwww) Seriously, I'd like to ship it tomorrow so you'll have it for the weekend.
Look, I just figured I would plead my case and take a chance. I don't want to come across as being whiney or causing any problems. Daniel, it's your game and your rules. If you feel Futureman won, then send him the pipe. Just give me a heads up the next time you are going to do this, so I get another chance. And if you feel a little guilty you can send me a t-shirt or something.
Arrrggg! It's like splitting the baby into two. Jay, you pick anything from the Hill Engineering catalog that you'd like, and call me in the morning. It's yours. Futureman, PM or email me where you want the pipe shipped. Sound good?
Daniel, my grandfather was a HS cheerleader in the early 40s (after playing ice hockey goalie mask-less in HS, and before fighting at Iwo Jima) and I was the HS school mascot and therefore a member of the cheerleading squad. With that said, I raise this question for public debate: Isn't cheerleading an activity, rather than a sport?
Yes. If it doesn't have an objective score and clear rules, it's not a sport. If it is scored subjectively and/or variably, it's a contest. If there's no score at all, it's an activity.
FINE. I sent you a PM trying to graciously bow out, but if you are going to FORCE me to take it then I will. I feel bad now. Daniel was just trying to do something nice and now he's gotta give out TWO freebies. I'll just have to make a guilt purchase...hmmm....stainless brake lines maybe....
Well, if there is flexibility in the rules... When I volunteered up "curling" as a sport, I was referring to the mid-african sport of Kur-Leeng, which in Slovic translates to "to cheer", and clearly thats close enough to "cheerleader." So, you want my email address now for that test pipe ?
I have held Daniel's pipe in my hands. The girth is impressive. Now if I can find time between work, travel and T-ball, maybe I'll eventually install this thing. I'm thinking I should go ahead and order a ceramic exhaust gasket right now. I'm sure when I remove the cat the existing one is going to disintegrate.
