Sheep Playoffs: Week 1, answers due Friday at 12

[Wakeforest22890]

In and just feel terrible about them. Last place twice in a row??

 

[IamThunderbolt]

yeah - usually I feel confident that I have a top 2 (or 3) answer that will at have SOME commonality. But a few here, it's a coin flip on whether it's a potential top answer or a 1.

 

[DeacInVermont]

I feel ok about 3-4 of my answers and absolutely terrible about the rest.

 

[BeachBumDeac]

I feel pretty good about team’s chances against BYE

 

[Biff Tannen]

So good.

 

[deacon14]

looking forward to TI's improbable run to the final 4

[Wakeforest22890]

I just kept thinking "is James Bond a celebrity" and couldn't even come up with any other good answers. I'm sorry team.

 

[HailToTheDeacons]

1) James Brown
2) Neon
3) Canada

 

[YoungBuck95]

James Franco

Youngbuck you idiot

 

[WindyCityDeac]

uh oh

 

[deacon14]

James Dean
Neon
Canada

I felt awful about everything I thought of for the James one

 

[deactherunner]

Lebron James (I agonized for a while about whether last names would count, but ultimately he was way more famous than James Franco or James Taylor)
Neon (As a chemist, I would be remiss if I didn't remind people that argon was the third most abundant gas in the atmosphere. Neon is better for both non-chemists and chemists, who would be drawn to a specific column on the periodic table by "noble gas". From there, it was just looking one space down from helium)
Canada (proximity)

 

[Wakelaw2006]

James Dean
Neon
Canada

I felt awful about everything I thought of for the James one

Ditto. Canada was one of the ones I debated about forever.

 

[DeacsATS]

Yeah, none of the James answers were good.

Went with James Earl Jones over Franco, Dean, Brown, and Caan.

 

[WindyCityDeac]

1. A celebrity named “James”- Lebron
2. A noble gas (not helium)- Neon
3. A country with fewer people than the United States- Mexico

 

[DeacsATS]

Went Mexico over Canada, but I spent way too much time thinking about it. I'm sure I fucked that one up.
