THE
LOADED QUESTION-er
Puzzled in Indianapolis.
Labor Day weekend and you know what that means. A "Law & Order" marathon
on TNT (They know drama!) and 24 hours of the "A-Team" on the Fox
Channel (they don't). Oh, and the race in Indianapolis. On the subject
of the Indy shebang, if I recall through the carbonation correctly, it's
time for another trivial trivia quiz, so here 'tis. You know that old
saying that goes, "It's not whether you win or lose that counts, but how
well you play the game." Well, check this deal. Someone who set low e.t.
top speed, drove into the crowd or ate 51 hot dogs at a single sitting,
played the game well, despite whether they won or lost. So here's the
deal. This ain't gonna be no who won what, but a real trivia contest,
involving real trivial carp. Buckle up chum, this ride will be long (10
queries) and bumpy.
