Since this is my 1000th post, I think a little contest is in order. The rules are:
OK, so the theme of this contest is one of my passions, music. Some questions will be about music itself, some may be about musicians or their equipment. Some of the questions are simple and anyone with a basic knowledge of my favourite genre will know them, some will probably require some searching and some are be downright obscure. Have fun:
The tie breaker question is:
How many active SKUs (Stock Keeping Units) are in the Warehouse I purchase for and Manage???
So, there ya have it, 20 questions about music or musicians. Hope you all have as much fun answering this as I had making them up.
- I am the sole judge. Should there be any disagreement with what I claim are the correct answers, I will attempt to prove the answer I give as being correct with a web-link, a picture, a sound clip, whatever.
- You are allowed 1 post and 1 post only with your guesses, edited posts will be disqualified, so think and post carefully.
- Anyone I know not to be an asshat is eligible, regardless of your number of posts. If I don’t know you, you MUST be a member in good standing of THIS board for 2 months or more and you MUST have a minimum of 100 posts on THIS board and not be an asshat.
- This contest will close when someone gets all the answers correct. If nobody gets all correct, the contest will be considered closed at 11:59 PM, Friday, November 30th and I will choose a winner by who answered the most correct, and in a case of a tie, the closest to the correct number on the tie breaker question.
- The prize package will be a fine selection of smokes from my humis, ranging from popular everyday sticks, to premiums and some “from the dark side”.
