Stumper : Are you one of the pioneering freestyle BMX'ers, from the mid-eighties, who rode for Skyway, invented the 'V...... Roll' and then hung himself ?

[The Cruciverbalist]

[Duphrates]

I know who it is

[Pi]

Duph: Is it someoen famous or did ya have to google for him?

[Duphrates]

Well I know who he is, but I had to 'Google' to get his name, if that makes sense....Oh I see what you mean..I'll have to wait for DP to not answer my stumper so I can ask it as a General.

[Dragon Phoenix]

Stumped on all accounts.

[Dragon Phoenix]

Go ahead then...

[Duphrates]

I'll take my General then....

Are you the South African game ranger who became the first black man to reach the top of Mount Everest on Monday?

[Dragon Phoenix]

Ding ding!

That went quicker than I thought...

Yes, I am Sibusiso Vilane.

Well done, Duphrates!

[Pi]

I like this game but I never win

[Duphrates]

Answer to stumper was Dave Vanderspeck.

[The Cruciverbalist]

Mine was Lucy Van Pelt (from the comic strip "Peanuts")

[Dragon Phoenix]

Bah. I knew that, but in Holland, she would be listed under P. My fault.

[Pi]

Yeah, I was wondering what the rule was concerning Vans, especailly when I was lookin for South Africans

[Quailman]

Mine was Bill Veeck. The midget was Eddie Gaedel.

[Duphrates]

Great stumper BTW Quail!

[Lucky Wizard]

The answer to my stumper was Martin Van Buren, BTW. I was under the impression that his last name was Van Buren rather than Buren, because he's usually referred to as "Van Buren" rather than "Buren" in biographies ( http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/presidents/mb8.html , for example.)

Then again, I could be wrong (I just noticed that presidential biographies at www.whitehouse.gov have the subject's initials in the URL, and the URL uses the initials MB). But it's not really material now, as the game's over.
