NEW GAME! Boxing Kangaroo 13/07 Deadline 2:15pm

by paperbag_puncher Thu Jul 05, 2012 10:20 am

Anyone ever play sheep? Basically I'll ask a series of "mainly boxing" related questions and the aim is to answer with the most popular answer. So for example if I asked name a heavyweight champion and 7 people said Ali they would get 7 points. If 5 said Louis they would get 5 points and so on. Whoever gets the most points wins. You would PM me your answers. I've seen it played on other forums and it seems to work well and passes some time.

Seems to be a bit of interest so we'll go again.

I have included the odd non boxing question to jazz it up a bit

NOTE THIS IS KANGAROO. In kangaroo answers must be incorrect. Incorrect answers score the same as in sheep, while correct answers score 0. Highest score wins. Again I have recycled some questions as there is a different dynamic to this game again

THIS GAME IS JUST FOR FUN.

Name a boxer who fought and lost to Ricky hatton
Name a current British boxer who holds a World Title
Name and English boxer who was born in London
Name a British boxer who has never been KO'd
Name a British HW who is fighting at Upton Park this weekend
Name a character from the Simpsons whos surname is Simpson
Name a British actor who hasn't won an Oscar
Name an English city
Name a country that uses the Euro
Name a football team that retained its premier league status in the 20011/2012 season

Everyone welcome please PM me your answers in an unnumbered list by 2:15Pm if you want to play. Remember you are looking for the most popular answer

rules:

game 1:

by alanqlm Thu Jul 05, 2012 10:53 am

Im never gonna get out of the bottom half, can't believe nobody else thought of Chuck for Collins or a guy who brushes his hair in ring for possibly gay.

Got in too late to send answers in but if I had, you would have been third from bottom if its any concelation.

by paperbag_puncher Thu Jul 05, 2012 10:59 am

New questions are up. Some of them are inter related and not sure how it will work but it will make you think. I have to keep reinventing the game... I found new games called heep and kangaroo that I might try out at some stage. If you pick a boxer who is not from the country/city you initially picked you will be negatively marked. You have until 1:30pm as I will be out of the office till then.

Good luck.

by paperbag_puncher Thu Jul 05, 2012 11:01 am

Jabmachine the speed with which you did that was seriously impressive..

by bellchees Thu Jul 05, 2012 11:06 am

Good job I missed the changed deadline there I'm sure I would have been rock bottom with some to spare.

If you want to answer which male would you find more attractive with facial hair then go right ahead. I meant actress.

by TopHat24/7 Thu Jul 05, 2012 11:24 am

Mmmmm, I'll get my thinking cap on, fugly actresses...fugly actresses......

by alanqlm Thu Jul 05, 2012 11:29 am

Great thinking PP enjoyed the added thought needed for the inter related questions.

by **seanmichaels** Thu Jul 05, 2012 11:51 am

I used to work with a woman who had a Mercury-esque moustache. I think she could only afford or tolerate a waxing once a month as it always came back with a vengence. Shame really because otherwise she was quite fit.

by JabMachineMK2 Thu Jul 05, 2012 12:11 pm

Oh, if you see my answers you'll see I didn't use Google.

It would have taken longer to Google Wink

by PF4EC Thu Jul 05, 2012 12:20 pm

The last one was very tricky, I feel guilty about answering it. I won't if I win though...

Something tells me this next game will resemble scores you would expect to find on reverse sheep.

Is the deadline set in stone or is it okay to enter so long as answers haven't begun to be revealed?
