Something new I'm going to try. :hmmm:

Winners will recieve $100 in Gameroom Cash

907DAVE Wed, February 3rd, 2010 10:04 PM

No trivia this week?

88Racing Wed, February 3rd, 2010 11:16 PM

Corey hasn't responded to my request on the cash yet. :(
If she does hopefully we can do back payments?

This weeks impossible trivia question is:

Approximately 80% of the time, a woman makes this household decision?

cleatus12r Wed, February 3rd, 2010 11:29 PM

"What is decides what is for dinner for $100, Alex."

I wish my wife would make that decision 100% of the time. I hate making choices.

Edit:

I know what the answer is but I'll leave it to the others to figure it out.

On that note.....

I always used to let my wife choose/buy the toilet paper. The stuff she bought was OK.

Then one day I decided to buy something I wanted. She used it once and has been buying it since. The first words out of her mouth were, "It feels like you're wiping with a SHIRT!"

:happy-dancing: For me!

907DAVE Thu, February 4th, 2010 11:20 PM

:smiley_roll1: My g/f makes 100% of the decisions when it comes to toiletries. Back in the bachelor day's I used to "acquire" some of those industrial sized rolls of TP. That stuff was pretty rough, but got the job done.:hehe:

88Racing Thu, February 4th, 2010 11:32 PM

My problem is she decides on what we should HAVE and then I have to go buy it:(!!!!!!!!!!
:smiley_roll1:

88Racing Wed, February 10th, 2010 11:25 PM

cleatus12r Thu, February 11th, 2010 08:32 AM

You know what's really funny?

That answer was supposed to be a smart-*** answer, too. I wasn't even trying.

I guess I need to start Googling the answer instead of throwing totally off-the-wall stuff out there.

Longshot270 Thu, February 11th, 2010 06:56 PM

Haha, dont waste your time googling it...hasn't spit out a correct answer yet for these questions.:hmmm:

88Racing Wed, February 17th, 2010 11:52 PM

In what year was a pickup made available to the people who wanted one?

$100 game room cash to the first correct answer!

There will be a bonus question related to this also.

907DAVE Thu, February 18th, 2010 12:11 AM

1892 ...

907DAVE Thu, February 18th, 2010 12:40 AM

1908?

Longshot270 Thu, February 18th, 2010 07:11 AM

Ford's model T in 1907? By applying the assembly line method he was able to produce them cheaper so he could sell them cheaper so that more people would be able to buy them? :cheesy smile:

88Racing Thu, February 18th, 2010 08:15 AM

Nope,
Keep on guessing!

Robert6401 Thu, February 18th, 2010 08:21 AM

I'm guessing...........1909?

88Racing Thu, February 18th, 2010 08:31 AM

88Racing Thu, February 18th, 2010 11:40 PM

Too bad the clue isn't "real" pickup offered by Ford. That would be an easy one; 1998.

88Racing Fri, February 19th, 2010 04:51 PM

Nope!:(
Keep trying!

Longshot270 Fri, February 19th, 2010 05:13 PM

majek5 Fri, February 19th, 2010 05:55 PM

There that should about do it!:cheesy smile:

Bored?
One of those years is right. Now if you pick the right one you'll win.
It's between 1910+1915.

fifity Sat, February 20th, 2010 12:37 AM

1913, same year they smacked us with the IRS...

88Racing Sat, February 20th, 2010 08:24 AM

Longshot270 Sat, February 20th, 2010 02:25 PM

1911?


(On a separate post)
1912?



(On a separate post)
1914?



....ok so I'm lazy. :smiley_roll1:

907DAVE Sat, February 20th, 2010 02:50 PM

1910?

907DAVE Sat, February 20th, 2010 02:51 PM

1915?

88Racing Sat, February 20th, 2010 03:14 PM

Ok
I'll be fair about this.
I'll give $100 to both Longshot and Majek.
The year the first pickup was available was 1912 sold by an aftermarket company. Later on Ford copied the idea, they did so due to the popularity of the kit.
Till next week.
Thanx for playing!!!!!!

Longshot270 Sat, February 20th, 2010 03:16 PM

woo hoo, I finally won one. :woot:

I should have been more SPECIFIC in my question.
I should have stated American public.
Fifty is also correct with 1896 but it's in Germany.
Truck History
Anyone who guessed 1900 well that was for Mack trucks which later became GMC and they first produced trucks not pickups.

No bonus question to follow!
$300 is going to be split up by fifty, majek, and Longshot.

The end.
Until next week
