I'm trying to remember three, but this was right after I started fighting with C-man and I think I refused to read his posts.

Remy (null) (x Jeremy), Monday, 21 February 2005 22:38 (nineteen years ago) link

Hint: after he'd changed his name, he claimed he had no idea who "this Calum guy" was... (And I fell for it.)

Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 21 February 2005 22:41 (nineteen years ago) link

Should I answer #4 or leave it to someone else, Tuomas?

Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Monday, 21 February 2005 22:59 (nineteen years ago) link

I think someone should remember it...

Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 09:24 (nineteen years ago) link

8) could also be me, if we're talking animated .gifs.

That was my answer!

5) is Jay-Z -- The Blueprint, isn't it? Didn't this get revealed on the "Is Geir Hongro Taking the Piss?" thread?

MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 09:39 (nineteen years ago) link

Nope. (Notice that I'm using one particular Geir thread as my reference point, so if he changed his opinion later on without me noticing it, I'm sorry.)

Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 09:44 (nineteen years ago) link

Everyone's already given up?

Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 17:03 (nineteen years ago) link

De La Soul?

mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 17:09 (nineteen years ago) link

No.

(Hint: the album in question has one of the ugliest covers ever.)

No.


#3 - Chantel

No, this was much earlier.

Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 17:22 (nineteen years ago) link

Ah, okay, Geir apparently changed his mind. In 2003 his favourite rap LP was Doggystyle.

Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 17:24 (nineteen years ago) link

3, 4, and 10 still unanswered though.

Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 17:25 (nineteen years ago) link

dave225 (Dave225), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 17:34 (nineteen years ago) link

Calz & Calzee aren't language-related are they? What else?

dave225 (Dave225), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 17:37 (nineteen years ago) link

Hints:

3) If you twist the name a bit, it refers to wordplay.

4) The name has to do with music.

10) This has something to do with work.

Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 17:42 (nineteen years ago) link

dave225 (Dave225), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 17:43 (nineteen years ago) link

No.

Should I give more hints?

Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 19:15 (nineteen years ago) link

A Banana correct!

Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 24 February 2005 08:03 (nineteen years ago) link

A couple of more hints:

3) The name also refers to dining.

Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 24 February 2005 08:06 (nineteen years ago) link
