Sheep Preseason Week 1: Answers due Friday 8/4 at 12

[TownieDeac]

Does the bus really cost $2 per ride, or do none of us ride the bus, because that seems expensive as hell, and it’s mostly poor people riding the bus in America

It costs $2 in DC, I ride it all the time. Maybe 50% of people actually pay when they get on.

new to sheep, assumed googling was against the rules

 

[BeachBumDeac]

I think the only rule is don’t talk about answers before the thread is open

 

[Biff Tannen]

Google is as likely to confuse you as to confirm your initial instinct.

I make this statement as a Top 7 Preseason Sheep contestant.

 

[tigerswood]

I feel like my left pinkie is borderline worthless. $1 million is a lot of money. And there wasn't even a prohibition against rushing to the hospital and getting them to sew it back on!

Don’t know why I assumed people would be a few years behind on best picture winners

You can always get a prosthetic pinky.

I knew that the Sheep answer was just the most recent Best Picture winner, but I didn't want to put that and it's a preseason week anyways so

I went with highest grossing.

Also rule of 5 for bus fare.

 

[DeaconCav06]

Look at all these misogynists minimizing SOCCER during the WWC.

I originally thought soccer, but went with tennis because you don't ACTUALLY need a net for soccer.

Nor do you need a net for basketball. You absolutely do have to have a net for tennis, however.

Plus the major that just happened swung it to tennis.

i know i'm rusty because i put the astonishingly bad answer of $2.50 for the bus question

Why do you need a net for tennis ?

Why do you need a net for tennis ?

I guess theoretically you could put a cross bar there or just a piece of plywood, but there's game action that is predicated on the net. There are shots all the time that hit the net and roll over.

If you just put a bar, it would probably be hard to tell if it went over/under sometimes.

 

[WindyCityDeac]

i googled every damn answer. I suck at sheep

Like it would be hard to tell if the ball went through the hoop in basketball sometimes then ?

Don't know about you, but I've played at courts all the time with just a rim in basketball.

Congrats to Terp80 for carrying the team this round.

yeah, and there's often a shot you're not sure about.
