Not quite, think you guys have got the third and fifth on the chart, though.

Man this is tough...

Ill try another shot in the dark with Walter Johnson, i think thats his name... i think he played for Washington a long time ago and was pretty good if that is his name....

Yup, the old Washington Senator almost leads the way with 417 wins.

Wow, i feel dumb, i didnt even look to see that Incandenza guessed him...

I need some sleep...

Sorry, GK.

New question:
How many Grand Slam titles has hot little piece of ass Anna Kournikova won?

Gold Knight · Post by **Gold Knight** » Thu Sep 27, 2007 1:35 pm

3?

Im not really a big fan of tennis...

Nephilim · Post by **Nephilim** » Thu Sep 27, 2007 1:39 pm

uhhh, zero?

spurgistan · Post by **spurgistan** » Thu Sep 27, 2007 1:49 pm

bagel. gotta say, never quite found her that uber-hot, anyways. Not enough to love

Incandenza · Post by **Incandenza** » Thu Sep 27, 2007 3:28 pm

No one's got it yet. It's a bit of a trick question.

And spurg, it's not like I'm saying she's the hottest chick on the planet. Far from. But I do have a soft spot for the Russian ladies. It's the accent.

Errr, has she never played in a Grand Slam event? idk.

And incan, my beef wasn't with you, but with all the peeps way back when who thought she was the hottest little piece of ass, ever. It was almost like she didn't play tennis, let alone look very easily broken.

Is the accent you speak of when she lets out that manly grunt every time she hits the ball? ...It turns me on too... :wink:

Ill guess 12

Incandenza · Post by **Incandenza** » Thu Sep 27, 2007 10:36 pm

Nah, I get that she was massively overexposed... the whole thing was pretty damn funny. And no, it's not the grunting. Her grunts are minor league compared to world-class shriekers like monica seles or sharapova...

And no one's got it yet. I can't think of a clue to make it much easier, except to remind everyone that people can win Grand Slam titles while playing with a teammate... :wink:

she does doubles? oooooooooooooooooooh....................done

I believe strap-ons are involved.

f*ck it, the only way anyone's going to get this is with a wild guess. The answer is two. She won the 99 and 02 (or maybe 03, can't be assed to look it up) australian open women's doubles with martina hingis (and idea of hingis and kournikova fooling around in the shower after practice is going right into the spank bank).

The next legit person to swing by can post a new question. But you have to make a Tinglehoff joke as well.

spurgistan · Post by **spurgistan** » Fri Sep 28, 2007 6:41 pm

Oh, I'll tingle your hoff, Incandenza. Uninspired? Hell yes. Hilarious? Hell yes. Oh, for future reference, following the model of splitting a word in two and saying "I'll [first part] your [second part], baby [or person's name, that's up to you] is about the best guarantee for a laugh you can get.

Anyways, who wrote the book The Natural (obviously made into the movie starring Robert Redford), and what was the biggest sellout the movie made, as far as the book was concerned?

misterman10 · Post by **misterman10** » Fri Sep 28, 2007 7:01 pm

frank gore?

Incandenza · Post by **Incandenza** » Fri Sep 28, 2007 7:02 pm

Bernard Malamud, IIRC...

And the sellout? Hmmmm, does hobbs strike out at the end of the book? Can't recall.

There was actually a terrific semi-tongue-in-cheek article in the LA Times a couple of weeks ago suggesting that hobbs was on the juice. Think about it: player in his forties suddenly gets a lot stronger... hmm.

spurgistan · Post by **spurgistan** » Fri Sep 28, 2007 7:39 pm

Well done. All you. And yeah, the book was about the rise and fall of an American hero. Epic. But noooo, Robert Redford can't fail. Total copout. Boo.

Incandenza · Post by **Incandenza** » Fri Sep 28, 2007 7:55 pm

Robert Redford's a nozzle.

Okay, something a little different:
Take Chad Johnson's jersey number...
Add Kobe's career high points in a game...
Add the number of Super Bowls John Elway won...
Divide by the number of Super Bowls Joe Montana won...
Add the number of consecutive games played by Lou Gehrig...
Add the number (to the nearest round number) of chicks that Wilt Chamberlain claimed he banged during his lifetime...

What's the final number?

Enjoy.

Gold Knight · Post by **Gold Knight** » Fri Sep 28, 2007 9:08 pm

Ill go with 162, without trying to add them... :wink:

spurgistan · Post by **spurgistan** » Fri Sep 28, 2007 9:24 pm

Sorry, but Wilt had 20,000 notches on his belt, according to him at least...
