Coach's pay it forward giveaway thread has given me a couple fun ideas.
I am going to run a trivia game and I will give prizes at certain point scores... First up is a set of AK47 dual mag pouches that are long enough to fit the 40rd mags they will be awarded at 5pts. You will get 1 pt for each question correctly answered and I will keep an excel list of the scores..
1st question for 1pt. Name the author of the quote:
If thou thinkest twice, before thou speakest once, thou wilt speak twice the better for it..

Coach wrote:1970. That i am pretty sure of. No clue on number of dots
Correct, and I'll give you the other half it is 10 dots they subtract 1 dot for each year after....
Coach gets 1 out of a possible 2 points.

All right, another multi pointer:
Fill in the blanks, 1pt for each, and then an extra point if you can name the singer:
In _ _ _ _ we took a little trip
Along with Colonel _ _ _ _ _ _ _ down the mighty Mississip.
We took a little _ _ _ _ _ and we took a little beans
And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans.
