I posted this in a newbie thread and no one has gotten it.

Come on, I know there are members out there that know this stuff.

This is a PF scavenger hunt. You can search PF for the answers if you don't already know them. I'll bet BobG nails this one.

1) What did tribdog do to his girlfriend's carpet that involved a soda bottle?

2) What is the meaning behind Math Is Hard's name?

3) What illegal activity is Evo's cat suspected of?

4) What animal do Danger and Moonbear share an interest in?

5) Who is Franzbear and why does everyone want him to die?

Bonus points - name 10 ways members tried to kill Franzbear.

I know all the answers, but I don't want to ruin the fun so quickly to answer them all in the first reply. And that bonus point question is too easy...a good bonus question would be, "Name one way members have not tried to kill Franzbear yet." :biggrin:

Okay, I'll start with #1. He MELTED it. :biggrin: :smile: Still a classic. :approve:

Yes, you'd know all the answers. :biggrin: You will be an official judge. #1 correct :approve:

I can see some newbie trying to read 10,000 posts looking for the ways we've tried to finish off poor Franzbear.

I think we will have many more of these. :approve:

Number 2 is of course from the famous Barbie incident.
and for the record the melted carpet wasn't the problem as much as the failed attempt to hide the damage.

But if it weren't for the attempt to hide the damage, it would never have achieved GD Hall of Fame status. :smile:

Oh, and yes, you got #2 correct. :approve: (See, sometimes I can admit you're right...:smile:)

what's funny/shameful is that I never read the original thread behind number 1! :redface: I honestly don't know. I only know from subsequent threads that it involved something inflammatory that caused the plastic to fuse with the carpet.

As for attempts to kill Franzbear, I have locked it 2 or 3 times. Each time, after a few days it was resurrected. I believe that Evo has locked it a few times also.

April fools day is coming up again :devil:

Attemps to kill franzbear
Flamethrower, drowning, freezing, burning, exploding, suffocating, machine gunning, strangling, poisoning, electroejaculator, Moonbear's atomic vibrator, Danger's dildo of cremated bodies , stuffed his bed with maneating bugs, hired professional zombie hunting teams, sucked it into several different vacuums and shop-vacs, chop up with helicopter blades, push him off the top of a roller coaster, electrocution...

What haven't we tried?? Well we haven't put him in a microwave yet have we? Or sent him into deep space?

that could be a bluff. which famous Barbie incident?

So, at long last I know the story of the welded soda bottle and the girlfriend's carpet. Thanks, Evo! I had searched for that thread before and never found it.

wow! You are wayyyy too knowledgeable!

Remember when we tattooed him and dressed him up in gang colors and made him drive through South Central L.A.? *sigh* good times... good times..

No! Well... maybe not Danger's dildo and the helicopter blades. But I think he did try and kill somebody with the helicopter blades... who was it.

As for.. <___>'s post, same here, after I got out of the physics section at the top! They got Biology, GD, S&D, Politics and World Affairs, Mind and Brain, Earth, and Brain Teasers sections!
