PLAY IN THE PARK---
3. For 2 points, go to the Park and wish someone specific a happy Halloween. Say something like "In the name of Thomas Paine, I wish you the happiest of Halloweens!" You must mention Paine in your greeting. If this person asks you about Thomas Paine, you get 3 additional points. You may NOT prompt the person to do so. If you correctly explain who Paine was, you get 5 additional points. Come back here to this thread and tell me which Park dweller you greeted. You may greet as many people as you like, but you only get credit for 1. Only one Townie will get "Paine credit" per Parker. That is, after one Townie has already explained about Paine to a certain park dweller, someone else can't explain for credit to the same one. The person the Park dweller asks MUST be the one to explain. DONE

Hello robnbob!! Thank you for asking!!
Tom Paine has a place in history as the preeminent founder of the United States of America. He was, in fact, the first person to coin this phrase. In the course of his lifetime, Paine was an outstanding political and social influence upon the entire world.
He authored The Age Of Reason. Thomas Paine, critiques Christianity and the Bible as a Deist. When Paine wrote, the idea of examining the Bible as a text objectively, let alone critically, was unheard of. Paine finds many of the internal contradictions and atrocities of the Bible and lays them out with withering scorn. The Age of Reason is a freethought classic.

WAKE UP THE NIGHT OWLS---
4. For 2 points go to the Night Owl's Nest and post a greeting on darkerjewels' "Halloween, anyone?" thread.

If your invitee wishes you a happy Halloween here on this thread, you get 3 additional points. Do NOT invite someone that another Townie has already invited. DONE

alternativly,

take one film crew, put them in your living room, all lights MUST be off, ghosts dont like light.......

dig down into your basement floor, there you will find some bones of an ancient knight.....put them out in the garden on the rubbish,, forever after you will be haunted by the voice saying "give me back my bones" in a spooky voice and the ghost will come looking for them !

I've discussed Tom Paine's ale with three different RT'ers. diarytree, loose_tea, and *call*me*red*merlot!*:

yep it's very hoppy, dry and a very strong Pale Ale.



loose_tea (22 )(view author's auctions)
24/10/03 6:54 PM (# 7 of 8)

"This brew is named after the political theorist, whose ideas influenced the drafting of the American Declaration of Independence. It has a bubbly, loose but long-lived head, and a hoppy, slightly metallic aroma. In the mouth it is firm and hoppy, with maybe a hint of burnt malt. The metallic theme returns a little - perhaps due to slightly overcooked hops. It is slightly foamy in the manner of a mousseux, yet clean. The malt is light, caramelly, but doesn't impart too much sweetness. Towards the finish the hops return, but the aftertaste is predominantly of faintly cloying caramel. A surprisingly strong beer for the taste, it would nevertheless go down very nicely at a party."

O CANADA---
8. The Canadian Town Square loves kittens! For 4 points see if you can get someone from the CTS to wish the kittens a happy Halloween on my Kitten Thread. The CTSer must state which Townie sent him/her, and each CTSer can represent only one Townie. : DONE

Ex. I'd like to wish everyone a happy Halloween and, by the bye, did you know that Thomas Paine's bones were stolen?
The statement of fact can be about an event in Paine's life, something he wrote, some belief he held-----as long as it is accurate! Now here's the catch---you may NOT repeat something that someone else has already said about Paine.: DONE

Happy Halloween to The Soapbox!
Were you aware that Thomas Paine's phamplet "Common Sense", was the spark that caused the American and French revolutions. However, this enemy of tyranny has been written out of our history books because 200 years ago in 1794 he published his banned masterpiece, "The Age of Reason". This challenged the beliefs, power and wealth of the Christian Church. Telling the truth was his downfall.

Hi Tom.
Layne here from across the pond.
How come none of us Brits have ever heard of your Harvey's Tom Paine ale???
This isn't a trick question is it? lol
We have just had poor poptart on the General Chat thread asking about it.
