The 100 Years Ago Thread

Thanks, @FISH.  I totally understand how that works, thanks to your drawing!  At first I thought it had something to do with candy, or real sharp ended tacks.  Haha

I am taking a guess that this is TICK-TACK upon a widow. It is very scary to hear a taping on your window. You open your door. But no one is there. You go back into your home and the tapping starts over,,,
TRICK or TREAT.

Good for you, @FISH.  There are still some players who have yet to specify which gentleman lived in Toronto.

I have to try to stay focused. @ShayP and @Mr Apnea do not play around.

oK @Rikki Gins this is how we played a game on Halloween night.

This tickles me.  The bush drawing was a nice touch.  I wouldn't have known what that was if you hadn't written 'bush.'       I never knew of that game though. You troublemaker!   

[ShayP]

It pleases me to announce that @ShayP will be Grand Quizmaster for the month of November.  Shay had a grand total of 1375 points.  @Mr Apnea came in an extremely close second with 1350 points and @FISH placed a commendable third with 1150 points.  It should be mentioned that perennial crown winner @whoozit came in a respectable fourth place by having reached the 1000 point mark.  This is the fifth time in 2021 that ShayP has won the Grand Quizmaster crown.

Special Announcement:  Starting in November, all players will receive 50 points by guessing any answer that I have made up. (Up from the usual 25 points that was handed out.)

I never keep track and I thought I might reach 3rd place.  Hooray me!     I kid.  Congrats to all who participate.  The quizzes are good fun.

@Rikki Gins, I'll go with FiSH  W. E. B. lives in Toronto.

And....Mr  W.E.B was an inventor of blackhead creame

Sorry, I was distracted with running a submarine into a underground mountain

That is because it is a trick question.
Nobody "lives" in Toronto.
They wait to die in Toronto.

GHF waits to die in Toronto.

Woo Hoo Shay P!  I feel like your avatar looking for the 1000 points I made this month.

Ha!  My avatar makes me feel like I'm looking for something I can't see anymore.

What do you mean by people?
