Answers to Last Time
- Will Max Verstappen retire this year? It’s the F1 storyline everyone’s dyin to know the conclusion to!
- “You sockdologizing old man-trap!” is the laugh-line that John Wilkes Booth waited for to do his dastardly deed. (I liked some of the wrong answers youse guys gave on this one, ’specially hootenannyold.)
Today’s Trivias
Trivia 1
Didja ever think about how “Verstappen” kinda sounds like “we’re stoppin”, which is a pretty funny name for an F1 champ to have? That always made me chuckle a bit.
It’s kinda like one of those “aptonyms” – y’know what those are? Like how Usain Bolt has a perfect name for someone who’s a fast sprinter, or how Marilyn vos Savant’s name was pretty on-point for someone who was in the Guinness Book for World’s Highest IQ. So I guess Verstappen’s kinda like … an INaptonym?
Ya know who ELSE has a good inaptonym? A guy named Frank Beard. Why Frank Beard? Because he doesn’t have a beard! Which wouldn’t be THAT notable – ’cept for the fact he’s the drummer for what band that’s famous for hits like “Sharp Dressed Man” & “Gimme All Your Lovin’”?
Trivia 2
There’s one case that Wikipedia lists as an aptonym, but I think might be better classified as an inapt one: the former President of Nintendo of America, who had what last name that some folks think came from an old Norman greeting meanin somethin like “fine sir”?
OK then
Byeeeeeeeeeeeeee
