In this race of planet history, Lurkers, those with less than 100 posts per year of membership are challenged!
Myself, and other tenured members I shall designate will pose comments, statements or questions of Chiefs Planet History. Your job~your Challenge! is to explain the story behind the comment, link it to its originating poster....explain why its relevant or funny. Bonus points awarded for context.
How well do the lurkers know us? How versed are the lurkers in our history?
At the end of this thread, I will donate $20 to Chiefsplanet in the name of the determined winner. The contest will end when I determine the thread/contest has run its course.
Points will be awarded by myself to the first lurker with correct explanation of each event. Bonus points will be given to those with less than 10 total posts.
Tenured posters are allowed to participate in the thread, however until a lurker answers a question...do not give the answer, or anything more than subtle hints on questions that may pose difficulty. Once revealed of the true answer.....feel free to give your take or comment on that moment. [Reply]

I hope I don't piss someone off but if IRCC, he started by posting some trial articles on CP and I may have the wrong planeteer but I thought they were the worst written pieces I had ever read. Sentence structure, syntax, spelling were all God awful.
I believe, Phobia had a prob with Essex getting media credentials or something like that. [Reply]

Bwana put 3 giant logs and 5 metal fence posts in his pile of leaves to presumably "to give them weight" presumably "to keep the wind from blowing them away". When the punks in came back for a repeat performance, "There was a God awful noise as their car hit my leaf pile from hell. Nothing like the sound of the underside of a vehicle making contact with steel and large wood logs. It shot logs and steel posts about 40 feet. The punks kept going. I would bet thats the last time the little bastages mess with someones leaf pile." [Reply]

A long time poster encountered a Native American with a bag of weed at a gas station and turned him in to the authorities. Who is the poster and what was his username changed to as a result. (2 points)
I'm a little foggy on this one so any old-timers please feel free to fill in the details. [Reply]
+2 huskerdooz
Skip is indeed a satellite guy and has had 2 house fires that I know of, one about a year or maybe 2 ago. Poor old bastard.
+1 The Essex View was indeed written by our own Kcnut and brought a lot of entertainment and advice. It was a staple of CP for a while and entertaining if nothing else.
+1 "Classless and Deranged" indeed was a column by bobgretz regarding Greg Robinson's termination and the reaction by fans. The comments sparked significant comment to him by CP members including myself, and I recieved 2 snotty replies, including 1 that said I "needed help".

Phobia was accused of wearing pink socks while playing golf at the
1st Annual 37 Forever Golf Classic in September 2001 because of the way a photo turned out. [Reply]

For one bonus point, who was the former Chiefs player who appeared and played in that tournament? [Reply]
