I'll start. Pork pie hats or fedoras?
Since the other pie battle was not included we are creating a separate, safe space environment for enjoyers of other fine pies that may not include fruit products. 1a) chicken pot pie 1b) cottage pie 2a) custard pie 2b) cream pie 3a)...
I can't find the right one, or create it (I'm hopeless at MS Paint etc). So, if any creative people out there have some spare time, I'd like to see your idea for an avatar I could use. Cheers. If you 'submit' an avatar to this thread, I'll write...
Muttiah Muralitharan has decided to retire from Test Cricket after Galle Test against India, although he may continue to play in the ODIs after that. He is the leading wicket taker in both Test Cricket and ODIs, and I would not put it past him to...
Last Year I ran a Fantasy Football league on the SDMB and so I am cross posting on to here to see if anyone else is interested. If anyone is interested it is on http://fantasy.premierleague.com. I have renewed the group and have set up access. ...
The World Cup is beginning on 11th June in South Africa. England will aim to stop 30+ years of hurt and win it once again. I'm looking forward to having matches played at a reasonable time of day instead of at 5am Then again, Brazil and Spain...
That's right, type the first word(s) that comes into your mind from the previous posters word. Here is the first word: Tapioca
Sneaking in at the same time as the football, comes a much more refined game. The most prestigious Grand Slam of the Tennis Season, Wimbledon, is upon us. I am hoping that the standard of the last couple of years for the men's game continues...
How good are you at distinguishing colors? In this little test you have to arrange colored squares by hue. http://spectralcolor.com/game/huetest_kiosk I got a score of 7.
Does anyone else on the board play videogames and is anyone else looking forward to E3? We should have Demos of PS3 Move, Xbox 360 Natal (or whatever codename they decide to use for it), or possibly a slim version as well, a new Nintendo...
The Celtics win over Orlando last night means they are going for number 18. They scared me a bit, but I like their chances. Naturally, as a Celtics fan, I am cheering for the Lakers to lose to Phoenix. But, then, it's always nice to see the...
Submitted for your consideration, the following quote from a major American football reporting website: "The gap in production and talent between Rice and the second best receiver of all-time is possibly greater than any position in any sport."...
Quick recap of the rules: Each player will have one question assigned to them per round. Answer your assigned question in the thread, and PM me the answers for all non-assigned questions. Correct answers for assigned questions are worth 10pts,...
I'm going to be running the next trivia game which will be an all-music edition. It will cover pop/rock from the last 50 years, though, very American charts-centric because that's what I know about. :p It'll be five rounds, with the game play...
The Rules: At 6PM EST every day, I will post one round of questions, with each question assigned to a specific poster. Everyone will have 24 hours to post the answer to their own question in this thread. Questions answered in this manner will be...
Here's the game - you don't have to play it to listen to the song: http://jayisgames.com/games/biomass/ We've got, from what I can tell Music: "Little Bitty Pretty One" (or whatever that's called) "At the Hop"
It's the London Marathon this weekend as thousands of people turn up to run round the streets for 26 miles whether to race, raise money for charity or just to say they did it. So, how many people here have run a marathon, how much training did...
I like Tim Wakefield, I really do. The only full time knuckle ball pitcher left in the major leagues, he was one of the reasons the Red Sox beat my Yankees in the 2004 ALCS. He's had success as both a starter and a reliever, and I've never heard...
We had a thread like this back during Domebotimes and I want another! Guess who! I'm still pleased with this pic I drew for the old thread:
Hey fellophants, would any of you be up for another round of trivia? I would like to play a six-round game starting Monday with the winners to be announced on Sunday. The first and second prize winners will receive a handmade certificate of...
Remember that fun Super Bowl ad for Google that told a "searchstory" about finding true love in Paris? nnsSUqgkDwU Google has a fun new tool that allows you to make your own. Let's see what you got! :dumbo:
Yeah, I know that technically the season opened last night with the Sox beating the Evil Yankees, and while that was a good game and it felt like baseball season for sure, today is the full on Opening Day. The Cubbies face the Braves this...
Yanks are pretty well set, Gardner is better defensively then Melky. His off season program has been all about really learning to bunt which is 100% the right thing for him. He could easily hit .290 with a .360 OBA and be a terror on the base paths....
Okay, after a delay I am ready to begin the First (and potentially last :D ) Mellophant Trivia Quiz. We have 22 contestants and there will be 10 rounds. How we play. I will post a set of 22 questions for each round. Each question will...
Which prize do you choose?
So, guys. Can the Brit cause an upset and take down the formidable GSP, or has he jumped in the deep end with lead diving boots? Can "the best Frank Mir ever, even if I do say so myself" beat down the monster that is known as Shane Carwin? ...
Each person tries to follow the path the person before them set out. You start with a beginning article on Wikipedia and an ending article. It should take no more than seven links to get to the ending article. If you think you have it figured out,...
I have a soft spot for curling, myself...it was a sport my father-in-law loved to play, when it was too snowy for golf! :)
1.1. Zuul - Which politician, formerly President of their country, is the co-author of the book Judo: History, Theory, Practice? Vladimir Putin 1.2. Laughing Lagomorph - What is the name of Scotland's longest river? The Tay 1.3....
Okay, no comment, just one name (please come back and add another if the spirit is willing): Name as actor (actor is unisex now, right?) that was once popular, but seems to have vanished. I begin: Dabney Coleman
I like my women how I like my coffee - full of shit. I like my women how I like my coffee - increasing my risk of heart attack I like my women how I like my Klein bottles - completely up themselves I like my women how I like my...
My friend and sometimes poster here, M_Westerhutch runs a free fantasy baseball league on Yahoo every year, and this year she's having some trouble getting people to sign up. So I figured I'd ask here.
what is it?
I'd love to start up a trivia quiz thread. To make things interesting, the winner after a certain time would get a prize of some sort (likely chocolate and candy from Ireland or something like that). Of course, everybody involved would have to agree...
A really sad day for English Premier football but one that has been expected for a while. Having lived beyond their means for the last few years, debts have finally caught up with Portsmouth FC and the club has now gone into administration...
It has been the greatest time for good console sequels. Bioshock 2, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Uncharted 2, Assassin's Creed 2, Mass Effect 2, and Left for Dead 2. My vote goes for Left for Dead 2, cuz it kicks so much ass, but man they were...
Now, at the end of the Olympics might be a good time sum up all the little more or less useful pieces of information that we learnt from olympics coverage. Although skeleton looks dangerous it is reportedly the safest sledding sport because of...
Because I sure don't know what to make of it.
A while ago I was rather surprised when I learned that in America running up the score is considered such a bad thing. We don't have a comparable rule. Obviously it isn't nice to be on the receiving end of it, but what is the winning side supposed...
A bit of a watershed for English football at least and I hope it leads to better things. Football (no, not the US Gridiron version, proper football) is a notoriously macho sport and is considered pretty sexist and homophobic. However, we have now...
Coming up on the 7th February is one of the biggest sporting days of the calendar, the Superbowl is upon us again. So who do you think is going to win The New Orleans Saints or the Indianapolis Colts? Are you going to be doing anything...
Due to the increase in the number of teams and amongst the other rules changes, the new points socring system has been agreed by the FIA for the next season. 1st = 25 pts 2nd = 18 pts 3rd = 15 pts 4th = 12 pts 5th = 10 pts 6th = 8 pts 7th =...
Anyone else following this? Is it going to be another Federer vs Nadal final or is someone else going to step up. The quarter finals are Federer v Davydenko Djokovic v Tsonga Roddick v Cilic Nadal v Murray
So here I am watching a documentary on the Rat City Roller Girls, wondering why roller derby never progressed from traditional quad roller skates to inline skates. Are there any actual performance based reasons, or is it just tradition?
Hey guise, I thought it would be fun to create a Sims 3 neighborhood for Mellophant and populate it with you dear people. Then I can take screenshots of your Simlives and post them here to amuse us all! The great thing about using Sims 3 for this...
He was the best commentator of rugby union and possibly one of the best across all sports. Extremely knowledgeble about all the players in the game, with a legenday attention to detail, he had a rich scottish brogue voice, which only added to the...
Every post, indeed every sentence, has some unusual oddity, a feature of language that keeps rearing it's ugly head. I offer no further hints as to whether it is relating to spelling, grammar, nomenclature or something else, or as to where it was...
The ATP, the governing body of Men's Tennis, is looking at adding a new championship in addition to the four majors. The idea being mooted is to get rid of the Davis cup, which appears to have a really strange format anyway and replace it with a...
