Dr. Sims' First Contest

[Smokin'Sims]

As of Dec. 19th 2008, I am officially Dr. Sims. I was awarded my degree by the University of Utah after a lengthy set of revisions with the thesis editor. I will also complete my first year here at CP at the end of the month. I have enjoyed the information I've gleaned from this group and meeting people I consider friends. So to celebrate these two events I have a contest in mind that is a little different from others.

WINNER AND PRIZES

The winner will be determined by either first with all correct answers or the person with the most points by 8:00 pm Central on Saturday 7, 2009. The prize will be a nice fiver to the person of the winners choosing as well as a little something from New Orleans for the winner. For clarity, this contest is to win a prize for another BOTL, much like winning a doll for your girl or your child at the carnival. Except, this contest isn't nearly as rigged as carny games. Since this is a manner to show appreciation for someone else the contest is not as easy as guessing.

CONTEST

This contest consists of several questions with multiple answers. Each answer is worth an equal percentage of the total question and each question worth five points. All bonus questions are worth one point. All questions are related to songs that are heard frequently in my lab. Now, the questions.

Question 1: This is based on my tattoo (figure 1). There are two musical references in it one is a band and one is a song. What are these? Bonus question: What specific line from the song does it remind me of?

Figure 1

Question 2. If I had the desire to caviar all day what would accompany it and be the drink of choice? Bonus question: What CPer would be most knowledgeable about the beverage?

Question 3. If people were out to get me, where would I be sitting when they came for me? What would I be wearing, and have in my hand. Bonus question. What would I be thinking?

Good Luck and have fun.

Edit: One guess per post per person per day. Hints may come later, but see what you can do before that. One hint for now, remember all answers are song or band related.

1) Dropkick Murphys, "The Walking Dead", "The walking dead couldn't tell us any better. It's a tale you gotta live to know."
2) Vodka, AVB.
3) Your patio/deck, a black sleeveless shirt, a cigar and a Coors Light. You'd probably be thinking about your two sons playing in the yard with the black lab... that or the landscaping business.

Ya, the internet is scary.


Edit: Thanks for the contest!

3.5 pts. But your winning as the only entrant. The internet is scary, but it only knows what I tell it.

#3 Bonus: Damn! People are out to get me!

 

[Smokin'Sims]

A bump with hints.
Question 1: I have used the song previously on this board.
Question 2: the food companion for the caviar is often considered a southern thing and there is a vast amount of knowledge on the drink here on CP, in fact a long series of posts.
Question 3: Our brother in law enforcement likely have what I would be wearing and what would be in my hand.

The fiver sent out will be comprised of HTF sticks. And at least one HTF for the winner himself. I'd rather not mention the details of the fiver as it takes some fun out of it. I will let the winner know prior to shipping.

Good Luck

#2 The original question says drink and your hint says food companion. Since southern Scotland isn't that well known I'd almost have to go with bourbon, which some people consider a food unto itself.

#3 Handcuffs and a toy of some kind. I'm not askin' and you really don't have to tell me. Really, you don't, I don't wanna know.

 

[Smokin'Sims]

Although I think my initial idea is good, it appears I botched the questions pretty good. My wife warned me about them in the beginning that the questions were impossible; I should have listened. I'm not pulling the contest because that would be wrong and I will send something to Jlada for his effort. I apologize for making these questions too vague, and have added further hints that should make it more doable. There will be a final round of hints on Friday morning if there is still no participation. This is my first contest so I consider these screw-ups to be part of my learning. Sorry, you guys have to suffer through it.

The hints: Four of the listed bands below are either perform the song or are the answer to 1a.
Less Than Jake
Streetlight Manifesto
Clancy Brothers
The Atomic Fireballs
Dropkick Murphys

Question 2: Answers are a food and a drink.

Question 3: One is a type of gear worn on the body, a weapon and I'd be sitting at what kind of furniture. I always hear thinking"......" in the song, but it may be singing"...." according to one website.

I hope this makes things doable.

#2 The original question says drink and your hint says food companion. Since southern Scotland isn't that well known I'd almost have to go with bourbon, which some people consider a food unto itself.

#3 Handcuffs and a toy of some kind. I'm not askin' and you really don't have to tell me. Really, you don't, I don't wanna know.

This is a case of bad punctuation. I read someone ask what difference does it make, well this is a great example.

Thanks a bunch, Smokin'Sims!!!

However, since I have a tendency of winning numerous contests (due to me being really nuts at scouring the internet) I hereby wish to pass my winnings on to the United States troops. You can read all about it HERE.

Get in touch with Smitty. Please do not send high dollar smokes or hard to finds to the troops. Rather, it is my wish that you send good quality, but high value, cigars to the troops. That way, more men and women putting their lives on the line can enjoy the leaf. Furthermore, I will match whatever winnings you decide to send to the troops. CC me the PM you send to Smitty and I will send him out a package at the same time you do.

I bow out of this contest post hints. Good luck to the rest!

Edit: Fix link.

Actually Vodka, "Little Water" is usually slammed down followed up with say a pickle or some green onion wrapped in say bacon fat. At least thats how they do it in the Ukraine and Russia from the experiences I had there. :thumbs:

I did a post on that here a few years ago.
