QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 03:14 PM) You don't think it is a little strange for someone to show up on a sportsboard, make no posts about sports, and then just start a trivia contest for the heck of it? I was sick and tired of one of the other Sox boards... and someone wanted me to continue the game over here... so I obliged. They were spamming and trolling, with 100 posts in 2 days, so I migrated.

SoxTalk Useless Trivia Expires 31 May 2005 at 5:30PM PM THE ANSWER TO ME... DO NOT POST Question 03 Category: Baseball Quotes Point Value: 10+20+25, totals 55 "The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game, is part of our past Ray. It reminds us of all that was once good, and that could be again. Oh, people will come, Ray. People will most definitely come". This is a three-part question. (10 pt) What movie is this quote from? (20 pt) Who was the actor that said it? (25 pt) Who did he play? Field of Dreams James Earl Jones Terrence Mann

SPOILER? WARNING They just posted the easter egg list... I went to see it again just to see the Milennium Falcon in one scene... http://www.starwars.com/episode-iii/bts/pr...0526/index.html

what do you mean? It's not too detailed... and the rules are extremely simple... yet I had to change them based on the size of this board... and I was a member before, I just forgot the password to my email which just happened to be my forum password. And I've done this trivia game on multiple boards, and one of the members there wanted me to bring it over. The reason for the PM rule is to allow more participants to give their answer... otherwise its luck whether or not you are on the second the question is posted. The whole point of the rules is to make it fair for everyone. I am trying to find middle ground.

Remember, PM THE ANSWER! The posted answer may not be correct... so answer with your true guess. From now on, EVERY MINOR RULE VIOLATION CARRIES A 25-POINT PENALTY

Just to remind you... there are only 6 hours left in this question... if you want to answer, the time is now. Hope your heads don't hurt from banging them against the wall that much :banghead
